Alright Real World Sydney people, here's the deal. You got to spend the summer in Sydney, and in exchange for that I want drama. I want drunken hookups, fights, ignorance, drunken fights, ignorant hookups and someone who's ignorant and should definitely go home. So, let's pop a Xanax for that looonnnng flight out to Australia, and see what we've go to work with.
Sydney's where all the real hipsters are.
The first roomie we meet is Trisha, who has blond hair with black hair underneath. I don't get that look. Make up your mind! The first thing Trasha has to say is that all her friends are just like her - all the hot girls in town. You know what that means. They're so hot they're never taken seriously for anything else. Thank you Real World, for giving Trasha a fair chance to prove she is just as trashy as she is hot.
Next comes Cohutta, in a sleeveless flannel shirt. He feels like he stands out in the big city. Well, a flannel shirt in the summer will make people look twice, country boy. He tells us how everything is slower in Georgia, but he hopes the big city is ready for him! Loving that country wisdom already.
KellyAnne is from Texas which explains why she's dressed in big polka dots. She's always been the poor girl from wrong side of the tracks. She loves attention and doesn't care about consequences.
What an ass.
She gets on a boat with Cowhutta and as they cruise through the breathtaking blue water of Sydney Harbour, all KellyAnne notices is that there are lot of pretty girls in Australia. KellyAnne is going to be one big, gooey insecure mess.
After that, we meet Isaac from Cleveland, Ohio. Isaac's into art and music - rap, of course. He's on probation, after having been in rehab. Apparently, he tells us, you're "not allowed to rob fifteen houses and shoot fireworks in someone's window". He says it an offhanded way, like hey, who knew? Anyone who's not a sociopath, that's who. He may have a whole lot in common with No Consequence KellyAnne. But then he tells us it's a new beginning for him. I'm touched.
Shauvon is the next roommate, and she's working this multi colored hair look as well. Am I missing something? I just think it looks terribly trashy. Shauvon is a journalism major at "Sac State" - that's Sacramento State, for those of us not in the know. She writes a sex column there. But she doesn't want to be judged because of that. Shauvon will do many things during this episode that will prove she's NOTHING like how you would expect a sex columnist to be.
Isaac likes Shauvon right away. He's a boob guy he tells us, and he loves her large "toddlers". So, this is what we've sent abroad to represent people in their twenties from the U.S. MTV, this does not make me proud to be an American.
Next up is Dunbar, who proudly displays his Mississippi state flag, which conveniently enough looks exactly like a Confederate flag. Did anyone else know that? But don't judge him either; he may be a racist, but he assures us that he's also a gentleman. He also tells us people either love him or hate him. Guess which way I'm leaning.
Yummy! Racism is totally hot.
And finally, we have Parisa, the Muslim girl from New York City. She's only worried that the other girls are going to look like supermodels. Why do the two blonds have to be cheap and the two brunettes insecure? Parisa thinks Dunbar is "perfect looking", and she hopes he's nice and smart. Keep hoping darling. I just don't see that happening.
The Sydney house is absolutely gorgeous...so much more beautiful than anyone on the Real World deserves. It has an awesome bathroom, with tiles that look like an underwater scene, and a hot tub that takes up a whole room. "Help me choose which room to pick," cries KellyAnne in her stupid little girl voice, while Cowhutta infers that the blue room must be for the boys.
Trasha approaches the house, wondering if there will be a hot roommate, or a bitchy girl that she's not going to get along with. Magic eight ball says...chances are good! She and KellyAnne are immediate BFF, and run around the house checking things out. Trasha's so excited that they have a gym - of course they do, honey, MTV wants to keep you fit and camera friendly.
There's a reason this kid's not on this show.

Eww I already hate pretty much everybody on this season! The only one I can tolerate at this point is Cohutta-bless his simple country heart.
Also beyond the bad teeth I don't find Dunar attractive AT ALL. There is no need for his ego "a lot of girls ar attracted to me" In fact I think both he and Isaac look- how should I put this- like they have "special needs" if you know what I mean.

ChickBomb: yay! I love you!
OK, my thoughts:
Dunbar is NOT attractive. Look at his red-faced, snaggle-toothed drunkie face! Gah, gross!
KA is Colie 2.0 - girl is seriously codependant. And of course Dunbar is going to be just like Alex, feeding her instability whilst constantly throwing her bread crumbs when he's drunk and horned up. How often does this situation happen with other normal people? It must happen more than we think.
Did you see when Isaac kissed Shauvon when she was holding her boobs at the beach? I found that really awkward and I had to laugh at the stupidity of it all. Seriously, can't these people wait one goddamn day to suck face with each other? It's like their privates are on speed!

I just wanted to point out that Kelly Anne is a tease, she even said it herself that people gave her the nickname '****tease' and admits because she is one.
So I highly doubt that she's trying to hook up with Dunbar or anyone else. And I don't think she'll hook up with anyone during this whole season. I'm just guessing a makeout session is all they're getting from her. Poor guys.
I thought i'd never say this, but I like Colie alot more then I like this Kelly Ann. And I really hate Colie!

LMFAO @ Colie 2.0
This cast is just ridiculous - it's like they're caracatures of former RW cast members. Unbelievable.
With that said, this looks like a really fun, drama-laden season.

Eww how the fuck did they cast this season? They cast 4 potential racists (3 Southeners and 1 Fresno chick) with their first Middle-Eastern chick ever. Good job, MTV!
Trisha is soooooooo clearly from Fresno, its sad. Skank/skunk hair and racial insensitivity.. how much more Fresno can you get. Blech!

I'm glad you mentioned Shavaun laying topless on the beach with her hands over her boobs. WTF? She acted like covering them with her hands was really going to keep someone from looking, making it painfully obvious that she wanted everyone to look.

"Eww how the fuck did they cast this season? They cast 4 potential racists (3 Southeners and 1 Fresno chick) with their first Middle-Eastern chick ever. Good job, MTV!"
Thank you for going along with the status quo by implying that all people in the south are potential racists. Beautiful job at hypocrisy. I know one of them displayed A LOT of evidence in agreement with your comment but, really. Do we all have to suffer for a few people's ignorance?
I'm not really surprised with Parisa's reaction. I'm sure she's had to deal with a lot of girls like KA. The first night they go out, she's falling on her ass and "dry" humping Dunbar. I'm sure she thinks it's only a matter of time before she's either holding the chicks hair back in the ladies room at some random bar or prying the razor blade out of her hand when Dunbar's "girlfriend" comes to visit.
Ya think I've known a few attention whores myself? Hmmm...could be.
heh
Oh and one more thing. I don't know what it is, but I've got this gut feeling that Dunbar's gal is a total fake so he can get a couple or more chicks fighting over him in the house AND he doesn't have to commit when he "accidentally" gets drunk and sleeps with one of them. I think it's because he looks like he's about to crack up when he's talking to his "girlfriend".
Just a theory...

My thoughts:
1. First off, I noticed right off the bat they are filiming/editing Real World like THE HILLS now....letterbox, different camera quality, etc. I dont really like it.
2. These roommates are cookie-cutter, factory made, grade A assclowns. With the exception of Cohutta. He seems truly down to earth and pretty cool........hopefully that wont change.
3. The house is AWESOME...and your'e right, these people don't deserve it!
4. Dubar= NOT HOT. AT ALL.
5. I totally thought Parisa's reaction to Kelly calling her out for talking smack was such a cop out. You got busted talking shit, honey. If your'e so big and badass you better just admit it and talk it out.
6. I hate these people.

I am from the South, born and raised and proud of it and my high school never had any segregated events EVER. Rather than lumping the entire South together as a bunch of hick racists, why don't you applaud those students who finally stood up and said enough is enough and we want change??? The South is so much more than it's past,no matter how recent that past may be. But, I'm sure since you're speaking as such an expert on southern culture, then you must be southern yourself, right?
Also,
I heart ChickBomb and the Rock of Love recaps, we're 2 weeks behind! What's up?

Am I the only one having trouble telling Trisha and Shauvon apart? Such a bad hairstyle, and they both have to have it.
Parisa is frustrating to watch. She thinks she's mature and confrontational ("I won't take any attitude"), but she can't say anything during Trisha's racist McDonald's story? Come on.
Oh, and I also miss the Rock of Love recaps!

Ya know, pollyp, I appreciate your comment, but some folks already have ideas in their small minds of what people are like. Ya know, based on the region or neighborhood they live in, race, gender sexual orientation...I think they call them bigots? Yup...that is the word. Sometimes, it's just not worth arguing with those who don't want to open their minds.
What can ya do?
Well, I gotta go pick up my banjo from the shop in my old Ford pick-up. After that, I'm gonna have some PMS and use some men for their money.To finish off my day, I think, because I'm Irish, I'm gonna go drink a lot and eat potatos..if I can find any. There was a famine, you know.
Yee-Haw!
heh (Too Much? Nah!!)

Great recap Chick Bomb!
People like Kelly Anne (and George Bush) make me ashamed to be from Texas. If she went swimming in the ocean and was eaten by a shark, stung by a huge jellyfish, or just fell off the face of the earth in general I'm pretty sure everyone would be better off. Is there a slut gene?
Dunbar = ugly as sin.
Out of all the roommates I probably hated Cohutta the least. I was cracking up when he was talking to his grandpa on the phone.

Gatsby - I TOTALLY was thinking the same thing. I saw the episode a few weeks ago on Comcast (they showed the first 2 eps before it premiered) and I could not for the life of me tell the difference between them. It took me watching it 2 more times to finally get them straight.
Parisa is kind of bland. She's like a middle eastern version of Tessa, and Shauvon is her Rocky...

she will be back with a fresh rock of love this week. :)

I think MTV was trying to go for the most annoying cast possible with this one.
The cowboy is right out of some Real World Parody.
Trasha is already possibly my all time most hated real world cast member. Which is scary considering it has only been two episodes.
Kelly-Anne is just shallow and annoying. Kelly-Anne and Trasha encompass just about everything I hate about suburban young America.
Dunbar has a huge ego. I don't know why. He's boring and dumb.
I initially liked Parisa, but she is so annoyingly insecure, it's hard to like her. Even if you try real hard.
So far I only like Shauvon and Isaac. They both seem like people I would actually enjoy talking to, and Shauvon is just hot. I'm sorry but I love those big boobs, and she's got a pretty big butt too. Papa likes.

Only the casting of MTV could cast clichés of clichés. Unbelievable. I swear they need to stop getting a cast that breeds so close to the gene pool. Parbitchia is in a constant state of hypocrisy, it is really quite amazing. So far Kid Deliverance seems the most normal and I am not even sure if he is just an actor or he actually is like that (and I am from Virginia so yeah I know there are people like that, but something seems fake about him). Kelly Ann has a fantabulous body and that is enough to keep me form completely wanting to beat her with a rake for 3 episodes. Besides that this series peaked a long time ago with the first Vegas RW and it hasn't been the same since. They need to mix up the formula a bit. Put a 65 year old man in the mix or have Real World-Topeka, Kansas. Anything at this point.

i like cohutta the best... his simple southern-ness is adorable and he seems really cool so far. i love.love.love at the opening credits when he says "good lord woman!"
i liked parisa at first but after watching 2 episodes, there's just SOMETHING i don't like about her, and i can't put my finger on it.. but uughhh its definitely something that irks me to high heavens. she is pretty though.
trisha is prettty! i actually like her hair and don't think she looks trashy..but her looks are about the only positive thing i can say about her, because she's already giving me evidence that she's going to turn out to be a heinous bitch.
i like shauvon so far. she seems nice & not very into drama. i'd kill to have her boobs.
kelly ann is the epitome of annoying, insecure girl who gets smashed & hangs all over guys, hoping they will flirt back so she can feel better about herself.. but i do admire her for walking into that bathroom & standing up for herself to parisa.
dunbar=ugly.
isaac=blah so far. he hasn't really done anything interesting.

chickbomb,
you did a great job with this recap! it really had me cracking up.
is it just me, or does trisha remind anyone else of an even more annoying version of amaya from RW hawaii? something about her face and that whiny voice....
also, wtf is up with parisa and all the attitude? she tries to come off as being a mature, no-nonsense kind of person-but she's really just a being a snooty, dismissive beyotch to people for little or no reason.
i couldn't believe the way she flipped the situation in the bathroom and had KA all speechless and looking stupid when parisa was the person in the wrong. it takes a certain level of self-righteous pomposity to treat a person that way.
then, in an effort to make nice, she tells KA that she would never say anything behind her back that she wouldn’t say to her face!?!? Who DOES that?
she's really making herself look like a big ass hypocrite/idiot.
