Recap: Real World: Did IIIII Do That?? - 
by B-Side
After last week's self-consciously slutty premiere of The Real World: Denver, we knew it would be hard to follow up with anything worthwhile. Sure enough, episode #2 was a bit on the slow side, despite a few interlocking tongues and whatnot. I fear that I've grown too dependent on Paula Walnuts to provide my drama. Let's face it: I'd rather have five sublime seconds of "KISS MY ASS!!! KISS MY GODDAMN ASS!!!" rather than the twenty-two endless minutes of Colie yammering on about each and every thought that passes through her brain. Yes, she's a talker, but that doesn't mean she's interesting. If she remains the cornerstone of this show, this is going to be a very loooong season.
This week's episode began the morning after Jenn and Alex's pizza-burnin' hookup from last week. Where there was once merriment and mirth, there now were big, red stains and nasty old pizza. Yes, the cruel light of day and sobriety revealed that things were not as joyous as they once were just a mere few hours prior.
Anyway, Colie stumbled upon this kitchen mess and immediately announced that she was not cleaning it up. "Who did it?" she asked, clearly forgetting that she had been partying until the wee hours with Alex and Jenn the night before. This was certainly the handiwork of Stephen, that scalawag!
Meanwhile, Jenn woke up and realized that she might just be the biggest whore in Denver. Oops! She told us over and over again about how she was freaking out and felt badly about the situation, and apparently, her version of "freaking out" involved brushing her teeth and making obnoxious noises on the sidewalk.
Well, Alex and Jenn headed off to brunch at a place called Snooze where they met up with Stephen and Tyrie (a.k.a. the conservative, boring one and the affable but ultimately not-in-the-group one). Conversation soon centered around The Mystery of the Pizza Oven as Alex tried to figure out who could have possibly turned off the oven while he and Jenn were mid-hookup. After briefly accusing Stephen of such a dastardly act, Alex then vaguely remembered that Colie had been in the kitchen. Perhaps if Alex could clear a few more cobwebs off his brain, he'd remember that Colie had not only turned off the oven, but walked in on him and Jenn in flagrante delicto. Scandal!
Upon hearing that Colie had saved the house from a Di Giorno-inflicted blaze, Jenn suddenly remembered that oops! She'd not only had sex with Colie's boy, but Colie had caught her too. "I feel like an asshole," she told us, perhaps realizing that she actually was a mild asshole. Meanwhile, dearest Colie was also somewhat hazy about everything, and so instead of waking up with a chip on her shoulder, she merely called her best friend Becca to have a good old fashioned omigawwwd sesh on the phone. Did she even know about Jenn and Alex? Would the two be able to get away with the perfect crime?

Pink is the new idiot.
Of course, one glance at Jenn and Alex in their matching pink tops was the all the evidence Colie needed to begin sniffing out infidelity. The Jersey Girl happily announced to us that she had "property rights" on Alex, which may or may not have been true, and then after telling Alex that she had proudly cleaned up his and Jenn's mess (the passive-aggressive cleanup -- always a fave), Colie literally followed Jenn into the shower and just waited there. She wanted an explanation, but she didn't want to ask for it; so instead she pointed out the new hickey Jenn had sprouted on her neck, causing Jenn to realize that she'd been totally busted.
Well, what do you do when you know you've been caught? If you're Jenn, you cry your way out of the hole. Yes, she and Colie sat within inches of each other (this was later, after the shower) and cried to each other. This was one of the more laughably ridiculous Real World scenes in some time as the girls tearfully confessed to emotional impulses and whatnot. In between sniffles, Jenn told us, "I've never had to be in this position!" Something tells me she wasn't being totally forthright with us. Nevertheless, she did accurately assess the situation when she then stated, "I look like a hypocrite. I look like a whore. And I look foolish." And that was before the season started. Rimshot!
