Later on, on the basketball court, Slick and Dolt are laughing about how Goody doesn't remember anything she said the night before. Then he cracks up about how the only black person Goody knew to compare him to was Charles Barkley. Dolt says that alcohol shows people's true colors. Back in the house, Goody is still puking. She tells us that she's never in her life drank that much, and she's just embarrassed. Then she tells us that she's smarter than that. Except she's not. In interview, she mentions that she's not perfect, but she says like someone's got a gun pointed at her head, forcing her to admit it. Then she tells us she's feeling really sick, and might need another trash can. I laugh and laugh and laugh.
I should have called him Oprah. What was I thinking?
Then she gets on the phone with her Think.MTV.com boss, Pete, to tell him that she'll be at the gas station to shoot the next day. Gas station = hard news, you know. Pete doesn't exactly sound thrilled to be talking to her, and we find out he's concerned because he hasn't seen any kind of script yet. "Well, it says here on the email that the final script isn't due til 11/29," Goody nanny-nanny-boo-boos back at him. Well, that's the final script, Pete explains to her. He needs to see a draft. See, I knew she didn't mean that whole "I'm not perfect" speech. She even thought her first draft of copy would be perfect. Fool.
Pete patiently tells her to scout the place out and figure out what she wants to do before she actually gets there. No brainer, I think, but Pete doesn't know who he's dealing with here. Goody rolls her eyes in her interview and tells us how she's got to get her script done right away, and scout out the location, and wow, it's just so much. Wouldn't have been too much yesterday, if she had used her time to do the work "right away" like she said she would, instead of going out and puking all over herself.
Next, we meet up with Stripper and Blondie back at the recording studio to hear a rough cut of Stripper's song, and it sounds awesome. She cries when she hears it, and Blondie makes a big deal out of it, which is unexpected and really nice. She brings the disc home and plays it on Rick James' boom box. Stripper breaks down to Blondie about how proud her family's going to be. Heck, even I'm proud.
The next morning, Rick James and Goody are planning the trip to the gas station for the hard news story. Goody wonders if it's cheesy to wear a green shirt while doing a green story. Yes. But it doesn't stop her. Heather, the HBIC at the gas station, explains how exactly a gas station is environmentally friendly. All I get out of it is that they give out postcards with wildflower seeds in them. Regardless, and it really, really pains me to admit this, Goody actually does well.
Back at the house, Slick is on the phone with Brandon, who apparently is back in the hospital with cancer. Oh, sad. Brandon seemed pretty nice. Slick is upset for his new friend, and promises to say a prayer for him that night.
Later on, we see the final cut of Goody's piece. Of course, Charna is invited for the big debut. Good thing, too, cause they tiny smattering of applause she gets is nothing compared to what Stripper got for her song. And now that she's got something of her own going on, and is no longer jealous of Slick's prowess with the "man on the street" interviews, Goody deigns to have a sit-down with him. But she ruins it the moment she opens her mouth and tells Slick that the way he treated her was completely unfair cause he got his information on what she said about him from other people.
Get mad about the ignorance coming directly from my mouth, got it boy?
But Slick explains that he didn't, he actually got it from Goody herself the night she was drunk. He says that he wants some smoother communication. Naturally, Goody isn't having it. "To flip out before you talk to me is unfair," she snaps. Oh, this bitch is some piece of work. Just face it, Slick, Goody's always right, and everyone else is always wrong. But Slick still holds out some hope for some kind of friendship.

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.

JasonR.
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.

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.
