Previously on The Real World: Brooke went nuts, Jenn was a slut, and Colie was a total idiot. Apparently this was enough to warrant a "To Be Continued...", but the truth was that today's second installment of silliness was pretty much just a mirror image of last week, give or take a few decibels. Brooke still remained kooky, Jenn was still whorish, and Colie continued to triumphantly carry the torch for dumb, needy, embarrassing girls across the country. Hoorah, strong female role models!
We picked up this latest episode exactly where the last one left off: Lodo's pub of sexual tension. Yes, Alex and Jenn were still sucking face, and Colie explained to us, "Alex, he'll pretty much make out with anyone that wants to make out with him." This stands in stark contrast to Colie and Jenn, who clearly have very high standards. Sometimes I fear they'll be spinsters with their utter refusal to let men into their sacred temples of womanhood.
Anyway, Colie was shocked -- shocked -- by Jenn's actions (who would have thought a slutty girl would do such a thing??), and before we could hold Colie's hand and empathize with her plight, we suddenly saw Jenn honing her inner Pussycat Doll and licking Alex all over his face as if it were a giant manwhore lollipop with a fresh coating of stubble.
As the gang all headed home, Colie noted, "I think there's something in Alex's mind that's like 'Corey's going to be there, then I'm going to do everything I can to prove to you that I have no feelings for you!'" Colie, I have some bad news for you: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!!!
To be fair, I couldn't discount everything Colie was saying. I do think that Alex was taking some sadistic glee in hurting Colie with some passive-aggressive sex. But I think most importantly, he's probably wanted to bone Jenn since their first triumphant sexual exchange. Besides, does Colie get to bitch about this stuff with Corey in town? If anything, she should be mad at Jenn, not Alex.
The screen then split into two as we watched both couples (Colie and Corey, Jenn and Alex) doin' it in their respective rooms. Poor Tyree was left out of all the fun as usual, stuck with the consolation prize of tending to Alex's friend, Brett. This might not have been such a bad thing since Brett seemed to actually have a brain in his head. The two talked about the Alex and Colie situation, and Tyree expressed frustration with their endless flirtations, saying it had to stop. Brett meanwhile boiled it down to something very simple -- and squishy. "You don't shit where you sleep," he said. "Right now, he's fucking taking a diarrhea dump where he sleeps." Congratulations Colie and Jenn: you are officially metaphorical diarrhea. And I wasn't even the ass who came up with it!
Later on, Alex and Jenn moved their slutfest into the shower, which was all the more painful for Colie who had to suffer the indignation of peeing just feet from their copulation. She lashed out at Jenn, at least to us, saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." She then added, "And if you don't know how to fool me, well, then you're just a massive idiot. Everyone fools me."
As for Jenn, she told us that "I'm not concerned with how Colie feels. She has a boyfriend, and I can't cater to who Colie loves each week." In many ways, I agreed with all that Jenn was saying. However, this whole "I'm not concerned with how Colie feels" conflicts with the "we're best friends and will be at each other's weddings" façade they'd constructed. Is Colie flighty? Yes. Is she dumb with boys? Yes. Should Jenn have hooked up with the guy that Colie's been drooling over for the past few weeks? No.
Amusingly, Jenn then told us that regarding the whole Colie/Alex situation, "I don't know how the hell I keep coming in between this!" She then added, "It's like when I throw myself at Alex and lick his face and have sex with him, I suddenly wind up in the middle! How does that happen?"
Elsewhere in Denver, Brooke was out to lunch with Davis, his boyfriend PJ, and Stephen. She boasted about how wonderful she felt in the post-Jenn rant, and let me tell you something Brooke -- I was right there with you. I say you chew out Jenn and Colie every day. You know, just for your mental health. Not because I get some sort of twisted, vicarious thrill out of it.

Yeah, Colie got her desserts. I like how she "rewound" from ALex's personal space back to where she was in the hot tub after she was rebuffed by Alex. She was lurching at him like an animal.
Jenn, unlike a lot of sluts, actually looks like she'd be a good f**k, face-licking and all.

What, no good screencaps?!
Did PJ just become the 8th roommate? He's been there for a month it seems. Both Mercii and Corey and Brett have come and gone and he's still hanging around.
There is something seriously wrong with Colie. She talks like she is either drunk 24/7 or has marbles in her mouth. Why can't she talk without sounding like an idiot?
Also, what is Colie? Why does Corey have to "convert" to be married to her? Is she a Mormon? I can't imagine a Mormon acting like her heh.

PJ and Davis are more like fraternal twin brothers than bf/bf. He was probably pissed that he had to constantly hear each girl talk to him about how much they hated the other girl..
Tyrie's comment about Jenn being 3-0 on Colie was hilarious. Colie.. you are so pathetic. That "rewind" move in the hot tub was also classic.. like she FINALLY realized that he didn't want her. Wow.. took her long enough.
And are these people using condoms?? WTF? Before Jenn and Alex went to the shower, they had obviously been doing the deed.. they're just dumb. I wish we could do a side by side of Jenn saying that she found Alex repulsive and how she wouldn't fuck him while sober.. She really "belittled" him!

This episode is definatly my favorite so far, because I think Colie finally woke up. She finally figured out that guys aren't that into her, and I just loved how Alex treated her in the hot tub. Then Corey (who I thought Colie did not deserve, cause she's way out of his league in terms of looks and personality) makes the correct deceision, turns the table around and hurts colie by breaking up with her, that was just awesome. She thought she could do anything she wanted, and I seriously hope she learned a lesson after this episode.
You all know how much I hate her, but I felt kind of bad for her at the end. I thought she was genuinly sad and hurt, and even though she deserved it, no one should be feeling like that. I mean, seriously, imagine you're insane like colie. You think everything is going to go your way with the person your very attracted to, yet it doesn't. So you try and make up with the person who you originally had a good relationship with, and that person totally refuses to have anything to do with you....hpmh, what am I saying, Colie deserved to be treated like that. I guess she needed to learn the hard way..

Roleepolee,
what is wrong with you? How can you feel bad for Colie? I have never in my life (of watching stupid, dehumanizing TV) seen a girl act so f***ing sluttish as Colie. Is this girl a nymphomaniac, or a mental home escapee?
I am thoroughly disheartened. I actually sent Colie a message on myspace, saying "You are a c**t" because I was so upset at her antics tonight. Whatever happened to faithfulness? Loyalty? People not cheating on their S/Os?
I am sick. Hey! Why don't I ask my boyfriend to FLY IN to Colorado, f*** me, and then start bragging about being "free" after he leaves? GOOD JOB ALEX (although I think that you too are an idiot) for rejecting that pseudo-New Orleans whore.
-Josh

Yes, Colie is a mess, but I felt bad for her because she's completely confused and mentally unstable. Perhaps slowing down on the drinking would help.
Having said that, I really hate Brooke with a passion. I want to slap those disgustingly pursed lips off her bloated face.
Looks like next week she freaks because Davis should "NEVER TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!!!!" She should up her dosage. A lot.

I didn't watch this episode (b/c I had to watch AI, which my sister recorded for me so I could vote before the phone lines closed), but roleepolee, how could Colie be out of someone's league both in terms of personality and looks? Are we talking about someone who looks like Quasimodo and has the personality of a log?
I don't think slut is a good way to describe Colie. I don't think she's a slut, I do think she's a codependant basket case. I really don't understand how people can become that codependant. I have friends like that...well, not quite like that, but who just can't stand being without a boyfriend or girlfriend. What do they think is going to happen to them? That someone is going to come and kill them because they're single?

Yay! Finally something actually happens with these lame-os!! It has been a mighty boring season so far so I am glad to finally have a catfight or 2 on the show.
I watched the sneak peak of next week's episode, and I have good news and bad news:
The good news- our favorite overmedicated brunette starts throwing herself at nearly every man in the house. Hooray for hoes! They make the show worth watching. (Except for Colie. And the entire Austin cast.)
The bad news- Outward Bound is back. Booooooo!
Thanks for the fast recap, B-Side!

@ RockStar-
First, ROFLMAO at your nic. Please note that although you can't see me, I am throwin the rock star fingers in your direction. Rock Star- WOOOOOOOO!!!!
Second, rolee made a big typo. She meant that the BF was way out of Colie's league, not the other way around. If you read it again I think that is pretty obvious, since rolee trashes Colie (Heee! That rhymes!!) in the rest of the post.
:)

My opinion on E. Colie's wonky hair-do is this: E. Colie if your too slovenly and lazy to comb your hair, cut it. You are an unkempt pig, didn't anyone ever teach you how to clean yourself up? Gee, I WONDER why guys aren't that into you, you're a fucking mess.
Corey is WAAAAAYYYY out of E. Colie's league. I'm guessing in the college "bubble", she seemed better than she was because of the whole incestuous nature of socializing in the Greek system. Now that Corey's out in the REAL real world, he's realizing that E. Colie is just a homely, needy hag. Regardless of how he said he loved her, would convert, blah, blah, blah, I think his intention was to dump her all along. I think he wanted to make a clean break, and knew her well enough to know how to finesse her into accepting it.
E. Colie's play for Alex was actually just flat-out disturbing. The guy had just fucked Jenn, repeatedly. His friend clearly stated that Alex was NOT interested in her. Alex brought home more women, and very deliberately blew her off. So what does E. Colie do? She imposes herself into his space, then physically tries to push him into a kiss, or whatever. If a guy did that to a girl, it would have been considered inappropriate at best; intimidation or harassment at worst.
I think E. Colie's about the hit the skids - I can't wait.
I can't wait to see the upcoming episodes with Brooke's rages - LOVE that nutcase! Also, did I see a preview where Jenn and Stephen supposedly hook-up? This season is actually turning out to be pretty good, except for having to look at E. Colie - who reminds me of Blair's CP cousin from Facts of Life.

1. I loved how Tyrie told Colie what the deal was...although Brett, Davis and Alex has told her the reality of the situation.
2. I loved the fact that Jenn refuses to let us down. We know she's a slutbag whore and she delivers everytime.
3. I absolutely loved when Colie tried to kiss Alex and he moved back to avoid her...priceless!!!

Jenn and Colie are so trashy and disgusting. I think Jenn is a little better though, because she has no delusions about how she's acting or treating Colie. Oh yeah, and she can actually GET the guy she wants instead of stalking him maniacally like Colie.
I love Tyrie and Brett (make him permanent!); they always have the best and truest commentary on the other whackjobs in the house.
And I'm still on Brooke's side. She is awesome. If she was on another cast I'd probably find her repulsive, but compared to Colie and Jenn she's just adorable and somehow seems justified when she flips outl

Colie, Colie, Colie....this girl is a complete mess and if you watched the after-show, she still doesn't get it. She's multiple contradictions and when it all blows up in her face, it's like she's standing there saying, "what did I do to deserve this?"
By the way, does anyone watch the aftershow? I hate it, it's so watered down. No one asks real confronting questions. In fact, they ask stupid ones like, "How did you feel when Corey was dumping you?" Hello! Obvious! How about, "What's up with you trying to be with all these guys at once and get mad at Alex when he's with someone else?" Although Zach did a good job of trying to expose that.
All in all, I don't think of I've ever disliked like the entire cast of Real World in a season before like this time. They all suck!

I actually watched the episode (sometimes I just read B-Side's recaps 'cause they're so spot on) and I cannot believe Colie said...
Colie: "I thought Corey would leave and I would be free to be with Alex"
WHAT THE HELL!? She deserves to get dumped! She treats the guy that wanted to "convert" (what is Colie religious. Pfft) and marry her like absolute crap for a guy (Alex) that obviously doesn't like her brand of slut (needy and desperate).
And next week's previews... aww. I love the Davis/Brooke friendship... too bad Brooke chooses him to flip out on next. And oh my god. Brooke wants to have sex with PJ/Davis? EW!!!

#17: Thanks for explaining my comment to rockstar. Sorry about the confusion. You guys know what I'm trying to say. That Corey guy is way better looking then Colie, and smart too. He should've hooked up with Brooke. THAT would've been so awesome. But I think it would've drove Colie to suicide, so I'm glad it didn't happen.
#18: Again, spot on with your comments. I loved it when the camera zoomed into Colie's deranged face when Alex refused to get close to her. You can see her brain is scrambling by looking at her face, and her weird lip movements. lol. I don't think this show wouldve been this fun without Colie and her onscreen disaster. Although I still feel a little bad for her. But watching the aftershow only further proved how dumb she really is.
Can't wait till I see Brooke snap again! She's irresistible, and I knew people were going to jump on the Brooke bandwagon.

Christ on a cracker, I don't think there exists an industrial sized vat of Lysol big enough to scrub away the STD'd footprints that Jenn, Alex and Colie have left all over that house. I couldn't stop squealing--yes, squealing-- "EWWWW!" during the Corey/Colie, Jenn/Alex hookup scenes, especially Jenn and Alex in the shower, where I imagined their equally slutty bacteria cavorting and multiplying in the suds. Don't they eventually place these Real World houses on the market? I'm afraid that if the producers don't stick the cast members in their own plastic bubbles and let them roll around the house hamster style, they're gonna have to take a match to this house or risk responsibility for the next plague.

Jens a pretty girl and should stop insisting on putting on more makeup than my friend who does drag every Wed night
Colie has to be one of the top 5 stupidest, love to hate cast members in RW history. My other 4 would have to be
the Miz
Wes
Julie
hmm...I'll have to think about who to give my coveted 5th spot too
What about everyone else? B-side? Top 5 most trainwrecker RWorlders??

I realize that I am in the minority here, but I actually feel sorry for Colie rather than hatred or disgust like many of the other posts. I agree that she has dependency issues with respect to her relationships with men, but it’s an emotional disorder for which she could probably benefit from some serious professional help. I will concede that she repeatedly makes a lot of the same mistakes and doesn’t always learn from them, but again, that is part of her disorder. Hopefully she’ll get the help she needs so she’ll be able to focus on the people that truly care about her (Corey) rather than this one guy who not only doesn’t care about her, he has no respect for her (Alex).
Jenn also seems to have some psychological “challenges” when it comes to men. But I think in her case, unlike Colie, she doesn’t get emotionally attached to these guys, she just has sex with them. That may explain why she continues to sleep with Alex even though she claims to be repulsed by him and at one point even said that she regretted having slept with him in the first place. But then she’s back in bed (and the shower) with him once again. Maybe her issues are attributed to having a father that didn’t stick around so she fears getting close to anyone on an emotional level. Unfortunately it just makes her look trashy (to quote Brooke).
Brooke obviously has self-control issues (which she has acknowledged) when it comes to venting her frustration. The way that she lashed out at Colie, who simply mentioned a dirty dish and then at Jenn, who called her a brat, was completely over the top and certainly didn’t warrant that all-out tirade.
So there really isn’t one emotionally stable female in that household. But I’m sure that selecting these three girls was a calculated move on the part of the show’s producers because it makes for interesting viewing I suppose.

#28: Colie's problem is not as serious as you say it is. She's just immature and naive. Mix that with her massive ego, and you have one really spoiled and pathetic girl. I really think she deserved everything that happened to her on this episode. It's the only way she'll learn.
Jenn is just a bitch, plain and simple. Someone who posted not too long ago said she is just bad news, and that's all it is. She fucks Alex just to make Colie misarable, why? cause she's a bitch. She likes hurting people's feelings, and she tries to come across as someone who's not doing anything wrong. Both these girls have no serious mental problems. They're just really immature, horny and catty. These are the girls all guys should watch out for. Yes, they're somewhat attractive, but to screw them is a big risk to one's mental and physical health.
Brooke on the other hand does have mental issues, I agree. She's oversensitive, and has a very bad temper that she does need to control, I have to admit that. But what I like about her is the fact that she admits to having problems, and she tries to understand that she needs to work on her issues. Plus she doesn't go all crazy over guys around her, even though she's attracted to them. She openly admited that she thinks Alex is "VERY attractive and good looking" (RW Aftershow 02/14). But she knew if she got involved with him, or any of the guys, she would regret it later. I wish more girls were like her.

B-Side way to get the recap started right with an outstanding title for the post!
Colie's hair is awful when she puts it up in that bun. She does it on purpose too, I don't know why she thinks that is cute. Oh yeah because she's an IDIOT!
Shiaobundan-I was thinking the same thing when Colie said that. It's pretty clear that Colie doesn't really feel anything for anyone, she just has to latch onto the nearest warm body with a penis.

Another thing-Maybe I'm missing something but what did Tyrie mean when he said Jen was 3-0 on Colie? Jen has only hooked up with Alex twice and Colie has hooked up with Alex so it would be 2-1. Or did he mean something else and I'm just missing it?

Love reading your obvious glee over all the meltdowns, B-side. Love it!
And Colie brings new meaning to the words "Ugly Crier". Man. I mean, I'm not surprised she looks even worse while crying, but...wow.
That's one butt-ugly crier.
And I'm sorry, I can't cut her any slack because she was planning on dumping Corey anyway and got DUMPED FIRST INSTEAD!
It's like a Seinfeld episode come to life!
Can Alex's friend Brett stay in the house, please? He seems to have his head screwed on right. :)
And is Alex ever coming out of the closet or what?

After watching way too many of these episodes on overdrive, I have to say that I wouldn't hook up with any of these girls, given the opportunity.
Brooke would be hard to resist, given her looks and my attraction to crazy basket cases, but even there I would have to be strong. It's just not worth it.

roleepolee, you and I have one thing in common; we have an aversion to Jenn because she’s a slut. Even though I disagree with Jenn’s actions, I still think they stem from a deep-rooted issue relating to her upbringing. I am not cutting her any slack since I think she knows full and well what she is doing, but it’s the reasons behind what she does that makes me wonder if she would be a different type of person had her home life been different growing up. However, I cannot deny, she is gross and disgusting.
Colie on the other hand (and I know you vehemently disagree) is an educated girl who has a lot going for her if she would only be able to see it. Her self-esteem, for whatever reason, is nonexistent and therefore we see the sad girl who throws herself at every guy she encounters – some nice, such as Corey and some jerks, such as Alex.
Now Alex thinks way too highly of himself. Partly due to the fact that he’s in a relatively confined environment where two of the three female roommates are vying for his affection. I really don’t think he would do as well with the women on a broader scale. For example, if he were on a college campus competing (for women) with other guys, he’d be the low man on the totem pole. But look at who he’s compared to in that house – Stephen, who has a girlfriend and some issues of his own, Tyrie, who reminds Jenn of someone from her past (and Colie has no interest in him), and of course our resident gay guy, Davis. So who else is left for these girls to compete over? We only have Alex….not really anything to write home about except that he’s straight (which I know is up for debate) and single.
To be honest, if he weren’t gay, looks-wise, Davis would get many more women than Alex.

Posted on March 1, 2007 8:11 PM
hhmm, touche CMC, touche....
I do think Davis is way more handsome than Alex, but I think Alex does have some skills when it comes to seducing girls with no self esteem.
You're right when you said Colie is well educated. She has degree, she was brought up in a sheltered environment (compared to Jen), and she does have some social skills, I guess. This is why I hate her more so than Jen. Allow me to explain. You would think someone who had a normal childhood would be, you know, normal. When I saw the first episode, I actually liked Colie. I thought she was down to earth and friendly. But it seems like the more you get to know her, the more ugly she seems (on the outside, but especially on the inside.). I guess my disapointment from her for the way she acted towards Brooke, towards Alex, and especially towards Corey, just fueled my hatred for her, and everyone like her in society.

msu11y28,
Jenn is not pretty unless she has the Crayola people come over to put her face on (I know, it's a Chris Rock joke). There have been several episodes that have shown that without makeup, Jenn looks like she should be telling riddles to people before allowing them to cross her bridge.
Colie needs therapy, what's worse is that she kind of reminds me of my roommate's girlfriend. The only difference is that my roommate is also codependent....they kind of drive me crazy...I should set up cameras in my apartment.

E. Colie isn't crazy or damaged, E. Colie is spoiled and self-indulgent. She suffers from the same bullshit a lot of spoiled girls with ugly faces, and decent figures suffer from : HUGE ego and LOW self-esteem.
She thinks she's prettier than she is because guys still want to fuck her, but deep inside she knows she's not - so she tries to balance out quality with quantity. No guy will ever fulfill her needs, because she needs too much. She's just going to get more desperate and less attractive as she gets older, and she'll screw around on anyone she manages to snag.
Jenn is what Jenn is. As strong as Jenn's personality is, she's really mostly a follower. I think she attached to Colie because Colie seemed more accessible than Brooke - Brooke is the real deal; she's got money, culture and education. She's at the top of the social scale (even with the tantrums), Jenn and Colie are lower-class. I think Jenn's a slut, I also think there are reasons ANY girl becomes a slut - I just don't really care because it is a disturbing thing to watch girls debase themselves on TV.
Alex seems like a normal guy to me, I think having his friend there actually pushed him to want to hook up with a woman, ANY woman - that was ALL about the male ego. What I find interesting about Alex, is that he seems to not care or worry about getting involved with Jenn (or anyone), yet he seems almost scared of getting involved with Colie. I think he knows she's stalker material.
Sometimes he actually seems repulsed by her; it's like the alcohol dulls his senses enough to let her in a little, but his instincts are still on full alert. If she wasn't pushing him so hard, and so relentlessly, I don't think he'd ever even consider her.
I STILL love Brooke, she's hysterical in ALL senses of the word. I still can't believe what a sloppy, dirty person Colie is.

Also, for some reason E. Colie's face is weirdly masculine. When she smiles, or sneers, or tries to look sarcastic she remind me of Chazz Palmintieri in "A Bronx Tale".
She is really bizarre looking. I actually really find looking at her at all really unpleasant; even with the Joker face I'd rather look at Jenn's face than E.Colie's.

Colie really really needs to grow up. She totally ruined a decent relationship with what seemed like a good dude for some lustful obessision with Alex. Corey for all his meatheadedness actually seemed like an okay guy.
I wonder what the hell he (Corey) was saying to Colie in bed that Brooke was so offended. I'm sure it was probably just some dirty talk. Brooke doesn't seem like she would be uptight about screwing. She was probably just jealous of people getting some.

g-child (#31), Colie never actually slept with Alex. The first night all they did was kiss and sleep in the same bed. Then she told Jenn she felt his penis and it was big so Jenn felt like she had to go test drive it that night. Then in the last episode Alex slept in Colie's bed but I think he was way too drunk to have sex.

I was just thinking back to the second episode, after Jenn screwed Alex. I thought it was so bizarre, and inappropriate that E. Colie actually pulled up a chair to watch Jenn shower, and the checked her body for sex marks.
That was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Ever.
Looking back, that was the first indication that E. Colie had absolutely NO sense of anyone else's boundaries. Brooke seems really rigid in that regard, so E. Colie must just drive her up the wall. I would probably lose it if I had to share space with that freak too.

Chee-Z, I know exactly what you mean and that's a really good observation. I remember thinking at the time that it would be uncomfortable for a close friend or family member to do that, let alone a new roommate I met 48 hours ago.
Brooke is the new sane?

Chee-z always make good observations.
I actually think Alex felt sorry for Colie in the past episodes, but lost patience and, well, we saw what he did in the tub. but he even said sorry when Colie told him to shut the f up. He was way too nice to her in the tub. If she said that to anyone else, like if it was Tyrie or maybe even Davis, I bet you she wouldve gotten yelled at.

Ok not to get all "feminist" on everyone, but it really bothers me that everyone calls Jen a slut (which I agree with), but Alex is just considered a normal guy. Alex is a slut too, if not more so because just a few episodes back he was having sex with that other girl (Stephanie was it?)and then Jen, probably the next day (who knows with the editing) and it's not fair that women are put down for the same thing that men do. Of course this will never change but I had to get that off my chest.
I agree with you Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict, about the time Colie stood outside the shower and examined Jen. That was beyond weird, and it made me feel uncomfortable just to watch.

I agree with you dmbislove, and I'm the one who stated earlier that Alex was just a normal guy. Unfortunately, in practical day to day living guys get away with it and women don't. I don't know why that is, in the age of STD's.
Although I WILL say, that if I were living in that situation I wouldn't touch Alex with a ten-foot pole. His having been with Jenn alone would scare me STD-wise, I mean she's from a pretty big area and she seems to like rough-trade (despite the whole Alex thing). And his general promiscuity spells high-risk to me. The fact that Colie STILL wants him, says a lot about how little she truly cares about herself.
She should actually be thankful most men find her repulsive, it could actually end up saving her from needing a prescription for Valtrex. Anyway, Colie's first step toward self-esteem and acceptance should be a hairbrush and a bottle of conditioner. To use in the shower BY HERSELF.
Ecchhh! Everytime I think about that whole shower thing it skeeves me out all over again.

dmbislove, I guess the reason I consider Jenn more of a slut than Alex is the way she disregards her supposed friend Colie's feelings about the guy and hooks up with him thoughtlessly. She's more of a slut when it comes to loyalty and integrity. I do agree that Alex is a male slut, but I just consider Jenn less respectable for that reason.
A good Colie-Seinfeld thing would be if she had refused to let Corey break up with her, like George's girlfriend in that one episode. If she had just said, "No, it's not happening."

The reason the "slut" thing is still an issue is because promiscuity is more unusual in women than men. Most men just have a higher sex drive than most women.
If more women were promiscuous, or fewer men were promiscuous, it would not be so noticeable and fewer people would care.
Personally, I don't find promiscuity attractive in either sex, but maybe I'm just a prude.

Not to take this completely off the subject of the Real World but Ronin614 I have to disagree with you. Maybe men have a higher sex drive but there is most definately a double standard with men and women and sex. I think there are plenty of men and women out there who are promiscuous but we are all brought up to accept that it's ok for guys to be like that. Women are brought up to feel bad for being sexually active where for men it shows that they are true men. There may be a difference in men and women's sex drives (I really didn't bother to research it.) But that is not the reason why women are viewed as sluts and men are not. And if you really think that then I think you should take a look at what's going on in our society.

I love how totally deluded / obsessed Colie is. Not really a surprise, considering our introduction to her & her feelings for Alex in the premiere. What do you think the chance is that she would actually read the recaps & learn from her ridiculous behavior?
(Cue peals of laughter.)
