The next morning, Stripper, Slick and Horsey are palling around, and Stripper reminds Slick that he was being very loud the night before. She's sweet about it though, tells him that sometimes when she thinks she's being quiet, they complain about her too. "Maybe it's a black person thing," she suggests. Maybe it's an intolerant, holier-than-thou person thing, I say.
Cut to the Catty Sisters, Goody and Blondie, dishing it up in the bathroom. "It's a basic respect thing," Blondie whines. Bitch, please. You've been just as loud as anyone else in that house. Blondie is definitely the biggest hypocrite of the bunch, and that's saying a lot for Real World folk. Stripper knows there's bound to be a house meeting about this, but Slick's not concerned. "If she's got a bone to pick, then pick it," he says. Oh, I'm sure she will. This is Goody. Bones for picking are her reason for living.
We catch up with the group at improv class, and it's just as lame as usual. I think Blondie's playing a tree. Or a clock? Who cares, all their "improv" is stupid. But don't blame Goody for it. She explains that the reason she sucked today was because she didn't get enough sleep the night before. She's out her to do something important, she informs us, and being woken up at 3 am is what's preventing her from doing so. Yeah, I totally get that. The way she lounges round the house in her sweats all day just screams "AMBITION!"
Chris Farley did it with 18 grams and a bottle of Sloli in him. Stop your whining, biatch!
Instead of talking to her roommate Slick about the problem, Goody indeed plays the whole passive aggressive middleman thing by whining to Charna about it. You know Charna loves this. Sure enough, Charna jumps right in with a lecture for Slick. "We've been through so much together..." she starts. Got that, outsider? Goody sits by staring at the floor. And Slick's pissed! Don't blame ya, dude, I would be too. He's annoyed that Goody would go to everyone else in the house and their employer with her complaints, but not bother to mention it to him.
They take five, and outside, Dave Dolt tells Slick even more stuff that Goody was saying about him the night before. Slick tells Dolt that she'd better not be spiteful, cause he's gonna be spiteful right back and no one's more spiteful than him. Well, that's sure something to be proud of. Yay spite. Dolt does nothing to discourage him.
When they get back inside, Charna tells Slick, Goody and Blondie that they have an internship at Movies.com. Goody extols the virtue of Charna's important Hollywood connections. Whatever, didn't Charna allegedly "discover" Amy Poehler? She could have at least gotten them walk-ons in Baby Mama. On the way home, Goody and Blondie continue their harangue on Slick, and he validly tells them if they have a complaint about him, to bring it to him first, not everyone else.
"Well, I did last night," Goody snaps back. Okay, but yelling at him to take it outside doesn't really count as rational conversation. "Me and Kimberly are going to try to get to know Nick better," she continues to us. "Me and Kimberly", cause heaven forbid should someone get upset without the backup of another roommate - also, cause they share a tiny, petty brain. Then she tells us just because they're doing Slick the great honor of getting to know him, doesn't mean they like him. Poor Slick just stands there while the two annoying white girls give him what for. Just slap them, Slick. Save me the trouble of hunting them down and doing it myself.
You won't get your balls handed back to you until we've slept an entire nice. And wipe that smirk off your face, mister!
The next day, they head out to the Movies.com studio, which looks unnervingly similar to Philly's Stripper Shantytown. They meet their new boss, Brandon, who tells them that word on the street is that they're looking to get into hosting. "Well, I majored in broadcast journalism," Goody immediately says. Someone kick Katie Couric off the nightly news people, we've got a bona fide broadcast journalism major in the house. Turns out, Brandon was a broadcast journalism major too, and shockingly, Goody's actually impressed with him.

Good Lord. Charna is not an mtv executive producer.
besides that, good recap. screen captures were especially on point.
i loved that Bri finally got her act together and her music sounded great.

Good Recap! I too was cracking up a drunk Sara, she really needs to get over herself!
Next week they go on vacation and there was mention of a 4 way, can't wait!

LMAO on the last screencap. You are so deliciously wrong Chickbomb.
Brianna's song is actually REALLY good. Nice to see her not only have a good set of pipes, but also come out with a good, solid song to go behind it. I can't listening to it! (It's on her myspace, youtube, iTunes). BTW, she didn't write it, but I still think its impressive.

the worst part was when Slick was all upset about Brandon and he goes to tell sarah he is upset and he needs a hug and she totally ignores him and looks at him like he has the plague! and later when she tells blondie she is all fake upsest! she is so mean and fake!

Nick is one my favorites in the house now. He is a really really nice guy, and it's crazy that Sarah doesn't like him for no reason at all! I wish i was in that house, i would make her days there a living hell.
I was crying when Brandon died.....it was sooo sad. And it was soo nice of him that he really wanted to help Nick with his career.
I think this is one of the best seasons of Real World. It's not all about hooking up like all the other seasons.
I wanted to tell a story...cuz i thought it was interesting, and something I just realized. Last october me and my friends went down to Hollywood to go to the club Highlands. While we were waiting in line we see a camera crew walking up with a few people in front, and I recognized one of them was Janelle from RW Key West and Will's g/f..now. So i'm telling my friends(kinda loud) 'That's Janelle from RW' And her friend heard me and said 'that's right!' Not in a mean way...she was kinda nice about it. But now that I think about it, i think that girl was Brianna. She was really light skinned and had really light hair. I don't remember what the other people looked like that was with them, but it could've been the other cast. That's why i was wondering why cameras were following Janelle? Now i realized cuz they were filming the Real World Hollywood cast and she happened to latch on to them.....and Brianna actually spoke to me! heheh...i'm a dork. i'm still waiting to see that footage though.

I'm laughing at the last screencap that says "Hope no one we like dies, anyway" Even though I have no idea who that is and whether or not they are dead and if I am going to Hell on the slow train for laughing. I'm so confused. Who is it?Is she dead? Should I be laughing? Because if not, then I totally wasn't even though I totally was

chickbomb,
i used to read your rock of love recaps all the time, and after reading my first real world recap, i can officially say i have missed you.

hollagirl2: I'm pretty sure ChickBomb was referring to the fact that an MTV Executive Producer got Sarah the job at ThinkMtv, not Charna and her "infinite" connections.
I'm jumping on the bandwagon that Nick is one of my favorites. Although, I appreciated Sarah for sticking by Joey, it wasn't like she was changing her behavior, she was just going with the norm for her. She should break the norm because watching her puke on herself was hysterical.

bentley 1101...
comment and response much appreciated. I just know it wasn't the MTV producers and it's sad that shows like this devalue some of the people that actually participate in it for the good of the real worlders.
not taking anything away from chickbomb's awesome recaps, it just sadly reminded me of her days when she used to refer to an "intern" who created drama... which undermines the fact the the Real World is actually reality (with editing)... amidst a bunch of scripted reality shows posing as such and therefore allowing such jokes. that's all.
so it's hard for me to appreciate such jabs knowing they don't apply in this case.
still read and love the recaps... everyone can't always be satisfied 100%

hollagirl2, oh, please. You obviously work for RW/MTV and part of your job is to post here to defend the impeccable integrity of RW and its producers. You really expect us to believe it was a coincidence Sarah got placed with some obscure MTV web page after she blew it at the other job?
The Real World is entertainment, nothing more, and it is certainly not in any way "real". Get a bunch of self-absorbed idiots, stick them in a house where they don't have to earn a living and give them unlimited alcohol and that's "reality"? I suppose you also tell us that the producers don't stir things up in the confessional by asking the RW'ers certain questions and telling them what other people have said about them just to get them all stirred up?
"Deadliest Catch" is real. Watching the Real World is the equivalent of going to the zoo and watching the monkeys hump and throw poo at each other. Please spare us your propaganda in the future.

"watching the monkeys hump and throw poo at each other".
That is exactly what watching the Real World is like. Too, too perfect.
As I was watching Brandon and hearing his story, I thought why doesn't MTV get seven nice, intelligent, inspirational strangers to live in a house, work together and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real. I would watch.

no dumbass... i know Charna. And wouldn't you believe it, some people have jobs in Hollywood through connections?
Did it ever occur to you that's why they chose her as part of their job? Of course she hooked Sarah up with a job... that's part of her job and part of her value in putting her on the show.
But then again if we're playing by your rules they should have put some one like you on the show and then made it appear that you had connections... apparently that's how everything has to work, right?
and if you're watching The Real World in hopes of finding integrity, I pity you.. it is after all, a reality show. it's for fun.
12 of 17 | Posted by hollagirl2 | Posted on July 1, 2008 8:50 AM
hollagirl2, first you say RW is "actually reality" which should be accorded so much more respect than other "scripted" reality shows, and then you say it's just for fun. Which is it? Usually only politicians backpedal so fast.
So you're telling me the fact that Sarah is a cast member on an MTV show had NOTHING to do with her getting a job . . . at MTV's website? Ok, sure. It was all Charna and her connections. She's a frigging Hollywood juggernaut. All bow before her.

JasonR
obviously Sarah being on the Real World and therefore being set up with a job with someone who has connections in Hollywood got her the gig...
I'd pretty much say that's just common sense... and the point of having the show in Hollywood.
But alas, i'm tired of arguing with someone who only knows how to talk in circles.
enjoy the show and what's to come.
hmmm. maybe i am an mtv spy
getting paid loads of money my mtv to write propaganda about the show and encourage viewers.
good work sherlock. either way.. it's hilarious to rile people like you up...
at least you have some personality. marks for that, swordsman.

Thank you for acknowledging my swordplay. Another satisfied customer ;)

ahahah. satisfied? perhaps... i'll let you know when i'm impressed. :)

chickbomb!
how could you not say more about the clown whore shirt? i almost fell over in shock and was sure that you would mention it. i am sure that the shirt was an homage to your rock of love recaps when you coined the term clown whore. you should be getting some royalties.
