He tells them that the most important thing about hosting is to connect with the people. Uh-oh, now we've got a problem. The only person Goody connects with is Jesus, cause everyone else is so beneath her, so how's this gig gonna work? Brandon goes on to tell them that they'll be doing "man on the street" interviews. Then he tells them their going to start with basic intros. They all get to writing, and it's not long before Goody's peering critically over at Slick's paper, accusing him of "writing a novel". Hey, don't begrudge the guy his personality just cause you don't have one, sister. And sure enough, Slick's intro is the best. Goody and Blondie look awkward and stiff, like they're reading.
Uh...it goes in front of your face, dumbass.
That night, Stripper's got some friends over to play music for her to sing to. And she's good. I'm impressed. Even the song's good, and if I'm not mistaken, she writes her own stuff. The roommates applaud, and the guys invite her record a demo in the studio any time she wants.
And the next day, it's time for the Movies.com job. Goody and Blondie are headed out to see their movie before the "man on the street" interviews, but of course, they don't invite Slick. Stripper asks him why he didn't go, and he replies, "You know them chicks is for self." Grammatical nonsense, but still the most brilliant thing said in this house so far. Don't fret, Slick, it's just cause they know they'll be eating your dust in this job.
That night, they hit the Chinese Theater for the Movies.com thing. Goody goes first, and she's a total bore. Lot's of "ummm"s and stuttering. But of course, not her fault! "I think I'm getting the world's worst possible movie goers," she complains. Of course you are, sweetie. Brandon tells her she's stiff, and she needs to loosen up. Then he reminds her that it's all about connecting. Don't you get it Brandon? How can she connect? They're simple moviegoers, and she's Princess Goody. She's more used to "hard news", she explains with her usual lofty tone.
Yes, Arizona State is where all the hard news comes from.
Then it's Slick and Blondie's turns. Slick does a good job, and actually, so does Blondie. They both connect with their interviewees, laughing and joking around. Goody stands by, silently blaming them for her complete lack of personality. After the shoot, Brandon tells them that he's headed to New York to film a commercial...about cancer. Which he had. Bummer. But he's pretty upbeat about it.
Then we join Stripper in the studio, where she's finally recording her demo! She loves the song she's doing, and she's really excited. She really is good. Horsey agrees, she says Stripper's music gives her goosebumps. The producer guys like it too.
The next day, Goody is complaining to Charna that she doesn't like the Movies.com gig. Cause she sucks at it. But she can paint it any color she wants. So Charna (translated: the MTV Real World executive) hooks her up with a job more to her liking, at Think.MTV.com. Never heard of it. But Goody's excited. Someone named Pete from the site calls her later that day, and tells her she'll be doing a story on some kind of eco-friendly gas station. Yawn. But she gets to write her own copy, and Goody's happy about it. "I'll get on it right way," she assures Pete, and then she asks Rick James Will to serve as her producer.
That night, the gals head out for mexican food, and Stripper tells us that all of their careers are taking off, and they're all where they want to be. So they order some shots to celebrate! Goody sips hers like it's English Breakfast tea. Then Stripper tells the group she's going to go find some men to have sex with tonight. "Sarah, you want to join?" she asks sarcastically. Hee hee. Good one, Strippy.
The Clown Whore? Couldn't have said it better myself.
And Goody is getting drunk! She's acting really silly at the dinner table, and as they head home, the other three are literally holding her up. And then she pukes on the street! And on herself! A lot! This is the best ever! When they get home, she continues to puke, this time in a trash can next to the bed, and Slick comes in with a camera to document it. Normally, I would say this was kind of an asshole move, but cause it's Goody....well, you go, Slick! Document away!

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.
13 of 17 | Posted by JasonR | Posted on July 1, 2008 10:11 AM
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.

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.
