Recap: Real World: I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!

G'day loves, welcome to a new day in the Real World Sydney! Last week Dumby gave us solid confirmation that we have at least one dickhead in the house. This week, Isaac does all he can to prove that there're two. What went down in the land down under? Hey, get your mind out of the gutter! MTV is a family network. Ahem. And now for our show!

Omgafrica
OMG! Have you heard of a place called Darefoor?

The day begins with our resident social butterfly, KellyAnne, crawling into bed with Cowhutta. She scratches his back as he sleeps. First she tells us he's not her type but she can see how other girls might like him. Then she backpedals into a little, well, maybe I'm into him as more than just a friend, but hopefully it's a phase and will go away. Hopefully not - this is no show-mance, it's bonafide, country bumpkin lovin' and it's refreshing.

And KA is fooling no one, least of all herself, about her crush on Cow. She caucuses with Trasha (who I have to say, has been a bit of a disappointment in the drama department - step it up, Fresno) and it turns out KA actually has a boy back home! She says his name is Sutton, but with the accent I'm not too sure.

Trashy
Uh huh. Sweetie, I'm trying to concentrate on looking like trash right now. Go call someone who'll pretend to care.

Apparently, KA and Sutton went "on a break" before she came to Sydney. That was a smart plan! What loser comes to the Real World house to pine for someone back home the whole time? Oh, that's right, Dumby. KA babbles on about how even though she and Sutton went on a break, she's still having some kind of problem hanging with other guys. Trasha pretty much ignores her and applies her cheap supermarket mascara. KA finally concludes her one way convo with the determination they're on a break and Sutton knows she's a flirt. Done.

Or maybe not. After deciding that it's all good, KA then decides to call Sutton to try and figure out what she's doing. Creating high school drama, cutie, but go ahead, make your silly call. When she gets Sutton on the line, she updates him on her activities for the day, which included: Talking to Sutton, drinking water, scratching someone's back, and sleeping. Please. If you're having an problem cause you like someone else, and you feel the need to tell your "on a break" dude about it, then grow a set and JUST TELL HIM! Don't cushion your cryptic back scratching in with drinking water and sleeping.

Naturally, Sutton is all over the back scratching part. Why would you tell me that, he asks KA. Why would I tell you what, replies KA with faux innocence. KA, you have to be very smart to pull off dumb, so do us all a favor and don't go there. I don't know who the hell this Sutton person is, but I know I like him a lot when he tells KA that they decided to go on break for a reason, and it's too hard for him to hear about her back scratching escapades in Sydney.

KA cries because Sutton doesn't want to let her have her cake and eat it too. Awwww...considering the feelings of others is such a bummer. Trash and Shauvon come in to give her hugs, and Shauvon really needs to return that crescent purse with the handcuff handles to two years ago when it belongs. Unless it took that long for the trend to hit Sacramento? Regardless, ChickBomb Rule # 1579: Trendy purses are fine, but must be retired within 30 days of said trend hitting the mall. No exceptions, even if you live in an unfashionable city.

Clairesbt
Claire's Boutique is cheap for a reason.

Now KA's crying because she's worried that she'll realize that she wants to be with Sutton, and it will be too late. Well, so far, I'd say Sutton is a keeper, but it looks like KA is struggling with that pesky "perfect on paper" problem. I'm so scared, she sobs, I'm so scared! Welcome to the wonderful world of dating, KA. It's always the guys that are seemingly perfect in every way that you don't have any real feelings for. Isn't being a grown up fun?

YAY! firsts!

this epi was kind of boring and very confusing. from the previews it looked like isaac tried to kill shauvon, but after watching, i'm still not really sure what the heck happened.

looking forward to next week....

Fabu recap, ChickBomb.

Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree with you on the whole Shauvon vs. Isaac thing though. Shauvon is one of those girls that has a few drinks and becomes extraordinarily needy and annoying. I know, half of my friends are just like her. What I understood from it the epi was that she was sitting on Isaac's lap, and he wanted to get up. He told her to move but she just sat there. So he got up, and she "fell" about a FOOT to the ground. Come on now. I know things hurt a million times more when you been drinking, but Jesus H. Christ she had a bandage the size of a football on her back. Overreact much?

I have to say, when alcohol is involved, every little thing that is said or happens gets magnified a trillion percent. I totally agreed with Isaac when he wouldn't apologize. I wouldn't! It's the principle of the thing. She overreacted and NEEDED to hear him say he was sorry for "dropping" her. That's BS.

I'm officially on Team Isaac from now on. Kitchen table hijinks with Cow - next week! On the Real World Sydney... (AUSTRALIA!)

That picture where KA was on Issac's lap with the caption was HILARIOUS CB, thanks for the great recap!

On another note.... these fools need to attend HereKittyKitty's school of throwing drinks on people before applying for the Real World.

1. Always use a wide mouthed bottle/cup/etc. This maximizes the liquid that ends up on the other party.
2. If you can get away with it, pour the liquid down rather than throwing it up, this minimizes collateral damages to other parties.
3. Make sure to throw down said bottle/cup/etc. immediately after evacuating said liquid on said party.

Bitch please.

2 things: First, I love all your recaps CB, hilarious.

I can't even describe how funny that was, thanks for making my day!

definitely something funny editing-wise with the whole fall thing. the thing with dunbar and kellyanne seems set up... a way to introduce the fall. dunbar is saying, oddly, 'ohh kellyanne..' and we here this scream and kellyanne puts on a show about running downstairs when she hears it. and shauvon is on the floor with bandages already on her. also, how exactly was she bleeding from a fall with no sharp objects around? strange indeed.

snackycakes420 [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Chickbomb, funny and entertaining recap once again. But I also have to disagree with you on the whole Isaac/Shavoun thing. Isaac is an arrogant asshole who could have been nicer about the situation as it played out, but he didn't need to apologize for Shavoun being drunk, falling down and hurting herself. I hate dumb drunk bitches who create dumb drunk drama and that's all she was doing.
Also I rewound the scene with the water a few times, and Isaac doesn't pour anything on anyone. He throws his drink at Shavoun as she's walking away. I think what lands on Trasha and KA is the water and water bottle Shavoun was pouring on Isaac as he stands up and bats it out of her hand. Personally, I think that is beyond messed up that Shavoun poured water on him like that because if some girl did that to me I would KNOCK HER ASS OUT, and since Isaac is a guy he didn't have that option unless he wanted to go back to jail and be known for the rest of his life as a woman beater.

shia0bundan [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Mmm here's another person that disagrees with you Chickbomb. :)

I thought Shavaun (or however she spells it) was just sloppy drunk and belligerant. I absolutely loooooooved Isaac in this episode, because I would have acted exactly the same way. I loved the way he handled the situation. "This was a GOOD talk." and "AAA? That's what you call when your car breaks down." LOL. Isaac is funny.

eellsinoc [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Just posting my vote as well...agreed that Isaac was in the right for not apologizing. Shauvon was drunk and out of control - totally her own fault!

BlahBlah [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Classic recap, ChickBomb!

Funniest line:
"After deciding that it's all good, KA then decides to call Sutton to try and figure out what she's doing. Creating high school drama, cutie, but go ahead, make your silly call."

I was thinking the exact same thing. KA is so obvious, it's pathetic.

Although your air train story was hilarious, I think you were trying to tell us the chick who threw the beverage at you is black with that "Flavor of Love" line. Subtle racism? Not sexy.

BlahBlah [TypeKey Profile Page]:

One more thing, Isaac was articulately (look that one up!) hilarious in this show. "I'm sorry gravity worked in your disfavor." LMAO!

And I'm still wondering how drunky got hurt so bad from a fall on her "cushy" ass.

Isaac could've avoided the whole drama by asking if drunky was ok, but drunky really went overboard with demanding an apology for something that wasn't his fault.

k37744 [TypeKey Profile Page]:

blahblah i'm SO not trying to start anything, but i wanted to point out that the trashiest and most beligerently irreverent chicks on flavor of love were white. i think chickbomb merely meant to reference the level of 'class' (with a capital ASS) found in FOL...cuz it's a cultural phenomenon.

on that note, chickbomb...i doso friggin adore your recaps. ridiculously articulate and hilarious. i'm definitely tossing out my claire's boutique novelty 'jeweled' hairclips that i bought in the mid-90s but never really could pull off. you've shown me the light. i have to let go.

oh and herekittykitty, you're absolutely right about the logistics of the perfect drink toss. they didn't really do it justice in this episode. you did forget the last rule in drink throwing though:

use a bottle.

HereKittyKitty [TypeKey Profile Page]:

k37744, I would disagree with the bottle thing. Here's why:

When you use a bottle the liquid tends to travel more in a straight line, and less of the person gets wet. Bottles are sort of like advanced drink pouring. These dummys can barely master the English language, let alone the fine art of throwing your drink on someone.

I pretty much hate everyone this season except Cow and Parisa. Parisa actually seems to have a brain in her head (how did she get picked for the Real World?) and Cow is just a dumb, sweet little southern boy. The trio of KA, Shauvan and Trasha could possibly give Trashelle, Brynn, Irulan, and Hurricane Arissa a run for their money.

kevintheomanharris [TypeKey Profile Page]:

shavaun was a sloppy mess. i cant blame isaac at all for not babying her like she wanted.

sweetleaf [TypeKey Profile Page]:

He's no sweetie-pie back scratcher, that's for damn sure.


HHAHAHAHAHAHA

k37744 [TypeKey Profile Page]:

i hear ya herekittykitty. there IS less of a drenching effect with the bottle approach indeed.

maybe i'm just daydreaming of the satisfying crack of the bottle when it hits one of those idjits in the face.

Oh man. Chickbomb, much as I fucking LOVE your recaps (way lol), I gotta disagree with you. I thought Isaac was Hi.Lar.I.Ous!! When he was joking about dropping ShavaunSlut, I think he was being reeeaallly sarcastic, like, "yeah. I dropped her. On PURPOSE."
I do, however, think he totally should've apologized. THe look on Parisa's face when he "apologized" to Shavaun for calling her a slut? Priceless.

JoeKickass:

You really are awesome Chickbomb, but I have to agree w/other posters. Shavaun was being a drunk asshole. Isaac was funny as hell. He got the Soup's clip of the week for christs sake.

Ishan:

That wasn't KA on Trisha's lap, ChickBomb, it was PARISA!! :D

popo:

I have to agree with CB, just beacuse when you are older than 5 then you shouldn't have shit with your name on it, especially if it's made of leather.

Other than that this season, like the last 4 seasons have sucked major dong.

Yankeesfan:

I'm going to have to jumb on the Team Isaac bandwagon. I thought he was totally in the right and I would have responded in the same way. Shavaun was being an annoying drunk person and being overly emotional because of it (I've definitely been there, I think almost every woman has)...he kinda made the whole situation comical. I think the next day Shavaun realized how dumb she had been. I actually really don't like Parisa...it seems like she thinks she's better than the other roomies...don't go on the RW if you want people with a lot of substance to them!! Good recap BTW!
