As they stroll around the Quay (pronounced KEY, which I never really understood) Trasha manages to find some kind of Christian music concert. She hears her favorite church song EVER, and goes over to listen. KA goes along with her and at first I think she's being a nice girl and a good sport, but then she starts rocking out and singing along really loudly.
This is why I like KA. First of all, she's not afraid to sing along with church music on the street. Second, she has a very sweet voice. Third, she's probably just as Christian as Trash, only she doesn't seem to have the need to throw it in everyone's face every five minutes.
Meanwhile Trasha's tearing up behind her fake Chanel sunglasses. She claims she's upset because in her heart, God is telling her that this isn't her. Partying and going to gay Mardi Gras are not the real Trasha. Listen closer, Trash. Maybe God's also telling you to be a nicer person.
God doesn't look too kindly upon fake Chanel. Change your ways, girl!
Personally, I think she's crying cause she's starting to realize that she's not the queen bee in the rest of the world like she is in Fresno. Don't fret dear, Dumby had a similar revelation last week, and he's starting to come around. But more on that later.
Isaac is dispatched to retrieve God's songbirds, but he can not tear Trasha away. KA stands by supportively, and Cow stands by in a camouflage hat and reflector shades. At first I think, well no one's gonna be mistaking you for gay in that getup, but then I remember the gay bar my friend took me to in Georgia where we encountered a middle aged trucker in the trucker hat (for trucking, not for fashion, cause it's not fashion, you hear me Dumby?) who lip synched a George Michael song to us from across the bar. I swear.
In car ride home, Trasha is crying and very upset about the prospect of the gay Mardi Gras party. She feels it's encouraging gay people to do what they want. Because of her religion, she thinks it's wrong. Gay people should be locked up in cages, along with Muslims, Jews and Negros.
She cries and cries and Isaac tries to be nice, but Trasha just snaps that he's the last person who would understand. But I think he articulates it well when he says that she's sad because she has the urge to do something she believes is sinful. Parisa tells her if it makes her feel better, the entire Muslim community would stone her. Not the gay ones, pipes in the voice of reason, otherwise known as....Isaac. Yes, Isaac.
Once they get home and start getting ready to go out, Cow tells us that he doesn't want to go to gay Mardi Gras. KA starts off getting ready with the group, but halfway into her tiny skirt she decides that she doesn't want to be slutty, cause it's tacky. I don't follow that logic at all, but then I realize that it's really just an excuse to get out of gay Mardi Gras. She asks Trasha if she just wants to go to a pub and talk, and Trasha readily agrees.
Woah. Huh? That's the spirit!
Meanwhile, in what may be the most shocking move in Real World history, Confederate Dumby is ripping a huge V-neck in his t-shirt. I'm beyond confused. Is this a closet case, or can this good 'ol boy actually be a friend of the Marys? This is what the guys out here wear anyway, he says. Wait, did Dumby just make fun of the way Australian guys dress? If so, then we have something in common, and that scares me.
Parisa wants him to show more bicep. Then she comments that he's very good at gaying up. How do you think I paid for school, he asks. OK now, this is really starting to freak me out. First he's making bitchy comments about other people's clothes that I agree with, then he makes a self-deprecating joke? Is this a parallel Real World?
The holy Christians are downstairs preaching away. Cow was just brought up differently, he tells us, with God in his life. Yup, that's right, no God for gay people. You've got to stand up for what you believe in, he continues. Which, I believe, is the very thing the gay Mardi Gras crowd is doing, but if there's one thing the holy rollers know how to do, it's mold an argument to only apply to them.

Dumby and Isaac totally redeemed themselves in this incredibly disturbing episode.
Even taking this episode into consideration, I'm quite enjoying this season so far.

hmmm talk about bigotry. calm down against the Christians ChickBomb- I dont think they meant it like that, Trasha just seems obviously confused and upset over the issue, and Cow just believes in what he believes in. not everyone has to share your views.

It makes no sense to put the page numbers only at the top. When we're done reading a page, we have to keep scrolling back up? Boooo!

I didn't like Parisa at first, but it seems like she's mellowed out and is enjoying herself more. I like KA because she does seem like a genuinely nice person who just wants everyone to get along. Bummer for her she chickened out on Gay Mardi Gras.
I couldn't stand Trasha or Cow this episode at all. I thought the basis of Christianity is love, acceptance, and treating others like you would want to be treated. So I guess Trasha wants to be judged and condemned for who she loves and how she chooses to live her life.
I'm glad you were able to write this though (as lame and gross as their behavior was), because your recap was funny but still made really good points!

I feel like I have to defend my Australian brothers dress sense.
I, as a born and bred Aussie, was shocked and dismayed at the outfit KA's date chose to represent us to the international community.
I promise you that the matter has been dealt with and won't occur again on these shores.

while i dont agree with the WAY Trisha expressed her opinions,I dont think its right to bash people just because they dont agree with the gay lifestyle.
The same way gays want people to respect their opinion of what they think its right, they have to respect that others may not believe their lifestyle to be right. everyone doesnt have to AGREE w/ the gay lifestyle, but they can respect someones RIGHT to have that lifestyle.
If Trasha said that she wouldnt feel comfortable at the parade..she can stay home if she wants to. She could have been less offensive in the way that she expressed herself, but she had the right to stay home & not be harassed about it. And it turn the roomates didnt have to be harassed for ATTENDING the parade..
...although i dont recall where she ever harassed anyone for going. she just said SHE couldnt go.
bottom line..everyone respect everyones opinions.

I'd like to know what the "Gay Lifestyle" is. Most of the gay people I know of pretty much do the same sorts of things that I do, it's just that they do the intimate things with members of the same sex.
Great recap...and please continue to bash these idiots.

How do you not understand 'hate the sin, not the sinner?' if someone believes that homosexuality is wrong, it doesn't mean that he/she is afraid of gay people or hates gay people. you may not agree with the lifestyle, but you can still be friends with the person and appreciate them. it does NOT mean that you have to support them in that specific manner, and it's kind of ridiculous to call people ignorant if they feel that way.

good recap!! i think i've always liked isaac and he is pretty much the voice of reason.
I don't think KA missed the gay mardi gras b/c she was uncomfortable w/ it, i think she skipped out b/c she wanted to stay w/ Cow and is already jealous of Trasha and Cow's flirty friendship. She was only policing the two. I doubt she is THAT nice, she proved she has a fake side to her.
I didn't like Parisa or Dumby so much initially, but they are kind of redeeming themselves, scary!!!

Yeah Trasha is an obnoxious sloot, but she had every right not to go to Mardi Gras, same with Kid Deliverance. If you are going to preach the Christianity acceptance speech, that you better start preaching the other side od acceptance.
Hell, my girlfriend hates the fact that I like "Heroes" doesn't mean I force her to watch it to accept who I am. It would be nice if both sides weren't so punchy and just threw the "different strokes. . . " line out there.

I wish Trasha would just get a grip. Take a lesson from Cow. He has his opinions about being gay but he was quiet about it and didn't turn it into a Help me God snotfest. You can be a Christian and not be a tard. That girl is a TARD. She acts like being gay is a disease and it's contagious! Wait a minute, I have been getting this incredible urge to listen to Liza Minelli after reading flipit's recaps.....But I digress, Great recap, chickbomb. Keep em coming!

I have to agree with all the trashing of Trasha. Nothing is more annoying than a self-righteous, Christian-when-it's-convenient slut. The arrogance of anyone to think that the gay community needs their approval is just appalling. People need to mind their own business. She didn't have to go, but she didn't have to act as though she was choosing between good and evil. Gay people are not evil. They're just people. No more evil than us heterosexuals. People like Trasha are just annoying. I'm sure if we took a look in her closet, there are all kinds of freaky skeletons hanging out. And would someone tell that dumb whore how horrible her trailer park dye job is? She should go to hell for that alone!
22 of 24 | Posted by the_baddest_bitch | Posted on September 26, 2007 4:08 PM
funny in this ep I found myself finding Trasha physically attractive but repulsive at the same time. That's pretty much how I feel about all the chicks in this house.
23 of 24 | Posted by bakismaki | Posted on September 27, 2007 2:19 PM
Such a stupid bitch. Trasha is really living up to the Fresno reputation. And I'm sure here hookerwear is a real hit with God too. I'm so sick of "Christian" people using gays and sexual ORIENTATION (it's not a lifestyle--fuck, c'mon people) to demonstrate some faux sense of personal or moral convictions on these shows. If she needed to stay on moral high ground, why go on RW? Completely transparent bullshit gyrations to feel like less of the hypocrite. And you know she's for real, cuz if she had real gay friends, they'd immediately tie her down and fix those fucked up clownbrows and that horrible dye job. Go back to Clovis, bitch--your trailer is waiting!
