Well, we're down to the second to last episode of the Real World Sydney! Time sure flies when you're sleeping all day, drinking all night and alternatively fighting / getting it on in the wee hours. This week, Isaac finally gets a story line, and Marge emerges from her cocoon a butterfly. A hot butterfly! Come my little emus, time for another adventure down under...
Girl, you need a break.
We open with a wild, white water rafting ride down the river! Isaac is at the head of the boat, of course. Kind of makes up for how he doesn't leapfrog over the rest of the cast during the opening credits anymore. Kind of. He tells us that anyone who knows him knows has a deathly fear of commitment. Well, I don't know him, but I assumed. You know, what with him being a twenty one year old guy and all. Anyone else feel a little Noirin relationship drama coming on?
Later that night, Isaac and Noirin, otherwise known as the seventh roommate, are chatting outside. She wants him to go traveling with her. She offers up some kind of three day "booze cruise" for $600. Spring break, bitches! She drags him inside to look at brochures, and Isaac hits the confessional and tells us that all Noirin wants to do is drink, party and "get down". He uses a Barbie doll as a prop. How the hell Barbie landed in the Real World house, I have no idea.
Trasha, you left your whore doll.
And I'm sorry, but wouldn't a "straight up dime piece" who only wants to drink, party and get down be pretty much a dream girl for a commitment phobic twenty one year old? I just don't see the problem here.
But, he tells the confessional that he's not sure he wants to spend four months traveling with a girl who only wants to drink, party and get down. I thought it was a three day booze cruise, now it's four months of traveling? Damn, this girl works fast. Perhaps it was a good call to start panicking. Noirin excitedly goes over the details of the trip. To say that Isaac looks less than enthused would be an understatement. He perks up at her mention of $20 Thai whores, though. Then he looks at Barbie and says, "We'll see."
We meet again in the family truckster. Dumby asks KA if her parents' divorce was her Dad or her Mom's fault. Dad's, she says. Apparently, Daddy KA was a cheater, stuck his thing where it didn't belong. Sadly, this is the most interesting thing about KA. And then Isaac chimes in from the backseat that he has two kids. Hello?
KA is sharing too. As usual.
Parisa starts peppering him with questions trying to trip him up in what surely must be a tall tale. How old were you? What'd your Mom say? Well, according to Isaac, his Mom was upset at first, but now she's happy about it. This is how I know he's full of it. I have a Jewish mother too, and hell would freeze over before she'd be cool with two unplanned babies born of her teenage son, much less a trip to the other side of the world to party while the kiddies are home in Ohio. Oy vey doesn't even begin to cover it.
Ashli's got a good reason for not believing him too. She says Isaac's a "good guy", and there's no way that if he had two kids, he'd abandon taking care of them for cable reality. Parisa's still on the fence. Either he's serious, or it's a prank, she states. Thanks, Sherlock.
Isaac warns the roomies not to get drunk and tell Noirin. Later on, Parisa and Ash are still on the "bullshit story" as Ash calls it. Isaac walks in on the convo, and then walks right out. Ash is convinced he's lying. Dumby's gut feeling is he may or may not be. Ah, there you are Watson. Isaac is known for telling tales, and we get a montage of his greatest hits...he was in the KKK...he's an established priest in Arizona...he got arrested for driving around with a car full of counterfeit money and his Grandma had to bail him out...and the best of all: "Ever killed anybody? Oh, I did. One time." I'm practically rolling on the floor laughing. This one time? At band camp? I killed someone. I'm hungry. Anyone want to grab dinner?
I invented McDonald's.

I like Isaac a lot, but I do wonder why he feels the need to make up stories about himself. Is it strictly to mess with people or does he really need that much more attention than he all ready gets? Either way, if he ever killed someone or was convicted of a felony the screeners at MTV couldn't have let him on the show. I vaguely remember him saying something about getting busted for burglary - no guns or high-speed car chases mentioned - in one of the 1st episodes though.
I also was confused at why a commitment phobic 21-year old wouldn't want to go on a booze-filled vacation with a girl who just wanted to party and get down. Or why he worried that partying and getting down was all she wanted. He remains an enigma.

recap was entertaining as usual. but one thing i must say, you're killing me with this "sneaky p.a." joke. i know it's a joke, but really, that's something appropriate for a show like The Hills, that is scripted. TvGasm is affiliated with Bunim-Murray which would lead me to believe that obviously you know the show isn't staged or scripted... and regardless if you're just joking aroun, it is just getting old- at least for my personal taste.
besides that, a lot of stuff was dead on. I loved the sherlock/watson references.
look forward to next week's.

now i don't have tivo, nor do i have a big screen tv, or a slammin speaker system, but am i the only one who gets utterly and completely lost in some of the dialog and storyline? seems they don't caption it enough for my tastes.
between that and the space/time rifts that constantly pop into the mix, i'm relying on you chickbomb to clear these things up for me. your services are greatly appreciated. (those of the sneaky pa aren't too shabby either.)

I really don't know what Isaac was getting pissed at Parisa about. He seemed a bit dickish to me. If he's going to make up lies as a joke and refuse to admit that its a joke, then he should have expected the awkward confusion HE caused with Noireen.
And I really LMAOed that Dunbar was just soooo ready to bag on Parisa for absolutely anything.
I think Parisa was a bit LAME though for hooking up with Alex. He's scummy and she's just pathetic if she can't do better than him for what she says is an emotionless hookup!

Isaac is such a cool dude. I love making stuff up and messing with people's heads too. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which is very refreshing (more people should be like this, world would be so chill and fun), and Noreen is great. I'm very happy for them.

Isaac is such a hypocrite. What was he doing all season but drinking, partying, and making whoopie? Jeez.
And as soon as Alex told Parisa he thought Trisha had a great personality, she should have walked -- no, ran as fast as she could away from his sorry arse.

Eek. The above should read "should have run."

I agree about the Alex thing, Parisa could have done so much better and should have run away from him. It's obvious that Alex called the house on his birthday hoping to get invited because when KA said well do you want to come over? He practically dropped the phone to rush over there. Guess he wanted to be on TV for his Bday. As for Isaac, I think he was being stupid when he got mad at Parisa because as shia0bundan said, if he's going to make stuff up as a joke then he shouldn't be pissed when people talk about it, it was his own fault. I wonder if Isaac and Noirin are still together. Also I thought that if he was a priest in the KKK then he wouldn't be dating Noirin right? Whatever, I still ♥ crazy Isaac. Great recap as usual ☺

Isaac is mad cool, yo, but he done made me mad when he tried to raise hell up offa Parisa with that dumb shit about making Noirin uncomfortable.
The discomfort Noirin experienced was a direct result of his own inexplicable need for attention.
