There wasn't really a "next week" series of events; it was a montage of what is upcoming for the season, which means to me that the seasonal drama dips... although, I can't wait for Rihanna to sleep with Scrawny Pat.

I liked Rihanna this ep, Piglet is an asshole, although he backtracked from his comments on the Aftershow. Joey is an asshole you can tell there's so much tension between him and Vowel.

Vowel's explanation for the cutting (on Aftershow) was that when she hates people, she generally leaves and that she couldn't in this situation. She was cutting since 13, but had been clean before the ep for 1.5 years. No therapy in Cancun because it takes time to trust a therapist and she wasn't going to be in Cancun that long, so why bother? I don't care for Vowel, but even my cold heart thawed when she was telling her story. Glad she stayed, her brand of crazy is needed to keep this house interesting.

Chickbomb, you're right, Vowel plays the victim, but Joey was a complete asshole on purpose.

Awesome recap. I tried to watch this season but every time I turn it on I get this gripping urge to throw the remote through my TV. Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to go on national television and act like a complete tool? That shit's gonna haunt them forever. Could you see Joey applying for a job later in life? "Oh I see here on your application that you were on The Real World. Aren't you that guy with herpes that tried to get the mentally unbalanced girl to kill herself? Yeah, I don't think McDonald's is the right place for you at this time. We'll keep your application on file though..."

I bet Joey's father is a major asshole. Just a guess.

And Rihanna-girl looks like she needs a multi-vitamin.

OMG - hilarious recap!!!

I remember when I like 13 waiting at the bus stop after a snowstorm and I threw a very small snowball at my next door neighbor, which hit him right in the crotch, just as the bus came, so when he got on the bus all the kids laughed at him for wetting his pants - then every morning after (and each time it snowed) he bombarded me with snowballs and ice pellets (which leave significant bruises!) to the point where I would have to bring a change of clothes with me every day.

Why do I tell this story? Well, this was my first lesson that the male ego is a thing very easily bruised and in order for them to feel like a manly man again they attack about a million times worse than the embarrassment they were dealt. So Joey is still pissed about the herp on the lip and he'll continue to make Aiii's life a living hell until he feels like his ego is back up to par.

Frankly, when I was 13, I wish blogs existed so I could tell the entire world that my neighbor wet his pants, just like Chickbomb can do with Joey's lip herpes!

In fact, I'll repeat my absolute favorite line from this recap:
"Joey has infected Piglet with his hate the way he's infected all the skanks in Cancun with his lip herpes."

HAHA!

Wait? Rhianna and DJ Canada sleep together in an upcoming episode? BURN!

carmelicious, I'm a female and I'd do the same to you if you had done that to me.

I think Ayiiia basically asked for it. She loves attention and drama and would go to no lengths to achieve it, even if it causes her damage. That being said, Joey is quite worse himself. He looks like one of those geeks, like chet from last season only without the glasses and a hideous lip ring to go with it.

P.S: Why was piglet only yelling at Ayiiia when Jasmine or Emilie came into the room and saw him naked?

I just wanted to comment on Jasmine in this episode, she is pretty pathetic over this Pat guy. It made me cringe to watch her say that she might get a kiss out of cooking for him..."maybe...hopefully". To me it looks like the guy is just trying to be on TV and is not even really interested but then again what do I know? I also found it funny that when Jasmine was yelling at Ayiiia in the balcony it seems that Bronne or whatever, was asleep outside and they woke him up. BTW, it was kind of harsh what Joey did, but she can't say she hasn't been asking for it.

I think that the previews for this episode ruined it a little. Like, it would have been better if we didn't know what was going on when the eerie music was playing.

I feel really bad for Ayiiia. Like Chickbomb said, even if she was doing it for attention that's still a problem!! And isn't everyone on that show for attention anyway? Joey came on the show to promote his suck-ass band and Piglet wants to let it be known that he's a free-agent in the NFL, so none of them should be calling anyone attention whores. Joey from the Real World Cancun has herpes. I also feel sorry for tiny Jasmine, who might can do a little better than Scrawny Canadian DJ Pat. Rihanna finally has a personality and she's slowly starting to become my favorite. Now all she needs is some Pantene Pro-V to tame that beast on her head...damn.

Great recaps Chickbomb! I always look forward to your commentary more than the actual episode :)

hooooooooooooold on a minute ..

i didnt even get thru a third of this recap but THATS the cut??
what a manipulative piece of shit.

as someone who has struggled with cutting for 13 years, i know that what she has is not hte mark of a self mutilator. thats the mark of someone trying to be overdramatic and get pity.

shame on her!!!!
cutting is a maladaptive way of coping that is a very heavy burden to those who carry it and unfortunately its mostly related to victims of sexual abuse

to use it as a means to look like shes been that "Hurt" is absolutely disgusting.

okay, so physical abuse is not allowed in the house but extreme verbal is?? I don't understand how LipHerpies actions were not cause for sending him home. There is the verbal arguments that roommates get into and then there is what Herpies did, it was overboard.

Who is so weak/insecure that notes saying "Noone likes you" and "Go home" send them over the edge? And really Joey, those are your best insults? For the record, I hate Joey but I hate Vowel's weakness even more.

Sorry, but I think Joey is hilarious. Walks right up to her and asks, "Got a knife?" I mean, that is 100% funny.

Ayiiia is just an attention-hungry, insecure, stupid young girl. I am not saying that the others in the house are not attention-hungry, but she is clearly the monkey wrench in the clockworks this season.

I think they're all a little punchy from being on vacation a too long.

I totally agree with mxfield. I think Joey's funny and I would do the same to that stupid bitch.

She dishes it out but then can take it. Whenever another person is involved in some type of argument, here comes Bowel...yeah, I typed it!

I can also tell Ayiiia is not a real cutter. Cutter cut themselves to FEEL something since they feel the are numb. This chick is not even smart enough to research her shit.

Jasmine and Emilee are just stupid ass followers who have the same stank attitude this gapped-toothed whore has.

As for Rhianna, why is everybody getting on her for her hair. She's half black and that's her REAL hair. I think, hey, this is the real her not some weave wearing phoney like that big tittied black chick from last season.

ugly cutie i am glad im not the only one blatantly calling this girl out for being a "fake cutter"

Totally. I cut for a little while in my angsty high-school days, and let me tell ya, real cutters cut much deeper and in much less obvious places. No one cuts on their lower arm unless they're begging for attention. The thigh area is the most popular, although higher on the arm where it can be covered with sleeves is also fairly common. Vowels is a dramatic lying hosebeast.

You're right in that cutting is a problem, even if it is just for attention. She needs some therapy, even if all it accomplishes is that she finds a more constructive way to get herself in the spotlight.

I cut for years. Never once in a visible place, and never that lightly (I had to adjust my laptop screen to see the cut she made). Even in her skimpy bikini, she could have easily cut herself in a place that it wouldn't be seen. Man, I used to go to therapy sessions all shredded up and the therapist would sit there and say I'd never harm myself or anyone else and tell my mother that the one time they knew about (got blood all over my shirt, my mother found the shirt before I could wash it) was just a fluke. It's not that hard to hide. And if you do get caught, with a cut that light, you could say just about anything and it would be believable.

One cut, that light, in an obvious place, is not to take the pain away. It's to get attention. That really, really irks me. It shouldn't, because as you said, it is a sign of sickness, but it does.

She needs to go home. She's too unstable to deal with the household, regardless of who's doing what, and she needs to leave. Yeah, they all are, but the rest aren't cutting, and when they start, they need to leave as well.

I like how people are really gauging the realness of her cutting. "Oh the cut isn't deep enough. It's not in the right spot. Her reasoning isn't even good enough" That's really disgusting. I'm so glad that you're all professionals in this field capable of properly identifying self mutilation.

I'm not saying she's innocent in this whole ordeal with Joey and CJ because obviously she isn't but to laugh at her cutting is gross.

^^^^ Cutting yourself to get attention is gross. Sorry, but enough victims already.

Joey is going to get sent home anyways! He has a drinking problem, and it messes up stuff with studentsh*tty.com.

the only reason Jonna came to check on Ayiiia is because the producers called her on the special phone and told her too.

Bronne throws a fire extinguisher and gets kicked out of the Me hotel but still stays in Cancun.

I feel bad for Ayiiia. Regardless of how bad the cuts were, or if it was for attention or not - sane people don't hurt themselves on purpose. Joey was disgusting in the way he handled the situation. His spelling mistakes did make it a little harder to take him seriously.

Bronne is my favorite person on the cast this season. Something about his attitude makes me think of Isaac.

It's always kind of shocking to me when people say things that are so excessively venomous and hateful like "I'd do the same thing to that stupid bitch" - did she strike some sort of nerve with you? Did your parents not pay enough attention to you so any sign of weakness is threatening to you? Carmelicious you're totally right but as proved by later commenters a weak ego isn't limited to men.
