***Please welcome your newest recapper to the fold, VirginiaApple!
Hola, Gasmii! In the spirit of this year's Real World theme (that would be "CHANGE" in case any of you live in a vacuum), I am here as a brand new recapper to bring you the Real World: Despite Jersey Shore, not all hope for the future is lost. We swear. Let's see how long we can embrace this "change" before you inevitably turn on me for not accomplishing enough in my new position due to my inexperience. Or before TVGasm pulls an NBC and decides to replace me with my predecessor.
Previously on The Real World, the roommates moved in. I know, you forgot about that part, didn't you? Emily and Ty are already, to put it in Facebook terms, "It's Complicated." So far, everyone has been pretty polite. I think this is the week were it gets "real." Let's find out, shall we?

We begin with Emily and Ty hanging out in one part of the house while Virgin Andrew (who, by the way, already has clothes EVERYWHERE in his room) and Rocker Chick (who is really more like Adult Contemporary Chick) convene somewhere else to discuss whether or not there has been any nookie. Odrama's spidey sense goes off and she appears from nowhere to whisper that the sex (or "naughty-naughty" in Jesus talk) has been had. Her reasoning? Emily is "happy today." Because she's been a real downer before today. Odrama is so sure, she swears on her beloved Bible. I'm sure God appreciates that.
The Virgin has finally had enough of her speculation and runs off to get an official confirmation or denial. The alleged lovers don't really give a straight answer, which leads everyone to assume they did. Emily doesn't understand the big deal, and neither do I. But then again, I'm not a virgin or a drama queen. Moving on...

Emily tells Odrama about her fear of all emotions. I can't even concentrate because I'm too busy concentrating on Gayish Guy (what's his name? Mike?) who is, hilariously, sleeping next to Odrama while they have this conversation. Was she just lying next to him while he slept? That is en route to bunny boiling levels of creepy right there.

But anyway, Emily's scared of feelings because they remind her of the time when she was in a cult or something. Odrama is already thinking about their "black/white" babies. Does she think they come out like zebras? She opines about how perfect they are for each other and expressed her excitement in anticipation of the drama that is sure to follow. Emily reminds us that she is an independent woman who can't be tied down.
Next topic is Callie's veganism. I am surprised to learn that Odrama and I actually do have something in common when she announces that she loves cheeseburgers and bacon. And of course, she then changes the topic to weight. Callie promptly counters all of her attempts at body-image related drama, which kind of makes me like Callie. This makes Odrama uncomfortable, which is kind of fun for everyone.
The Lovebirds and Gayish guy work out at the gym (no tanning or laundry to be seen), after which the Lovebirds have a cuddle session on a bench. Ew, sweaty. Turns out Emily's got some body image issues of her own, but Ty loves those Thunder Thighs.
Now Ty's having a chat in bed with Odrama. Do any of them ever have conversations that don't take place while in a horizontal position? Honestly, the proportion of hooking up to amount of time spent in each others' beds is nowhere near proper Real World standards. Does this place even have a couch? Anyway, Ty is thinking about his exgirlfriend and the fact that he already broke his promise to himself not to sleep with anyone while he was here. Relationship talk... blah, blah, blah. Wait a minute? Didn't they decide 2 episodes ago that they didn't get along and didn't need to talk to each other? Damn, has Odrama outtalked everyone else ALREADY?
Ty calls his ex to discuss their status. She suggest being friends sometime down the road. When he mentions having sex with one of his roommates, she promptly says she has to go. Probably to stick "I told you so" pins in her Ty voodoo doll.

LOL's on Ty blaming Emily for his girlfriend fiasco. I really can't stand Emily, I think under her rational demeanor lurks serious craziness. That spitting thing was way out of line and sick. She's the biggest drama-queen and attention-whore in the house, she just uses other people to feed into it. She's also a control-freak.
The whole girl power-hour cracked me up. Did anyone notice how as the other girls were "comforting" her, no one said "Callie, you are NOT fat!!" She's easily the prettiest girl in the house - and clearly not overweight. All their comments are along the lines of "You might not be thin, but you have a beautiful face", and references to how even at a size 2 or 4, they are still insecure. First of all, 2 or 4 MY ASS - Rocker Chick MAYBE, but her face looks a boiled egg so who cares?
Ty is an ass too, what a fucktard on the Playboy comment - the two most iconic women featured in it are Anna Nicole and Marilyn Monroe. What's he talking about? LOL.
Great first recap, especially because there's so little work with!! I think they should send Marion Barry in there with some strippers and crack - how great could this season be with quotes like this one:
"First, it was not a strip bar, it was an erotic club. And second, what can I say? I'm a night owl." -- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
LMAO

Welcome aboard! The hazing doesn't start until you are at least 3 recaps in :)
I am against spitting, however! You overpower and pin a girl with control issues, you might get spit on...I'm just saying. He should be glad she couldn't get a knee free or his nuts would of been in trouble too.

Ya done a FINE job!

Callie is the prettiest one there and I just wanna smack the shit out of Emily. Of course, she would probably want to knuckle up or spit on me... so maybe I should rethink that. Good job on your first recap!

Bring back the binge-drinking nutjobs. I don't think the Ty/Emily romance or whatever it is can sustain the season like the Rihanna/DJ/Jazzy triangle last season. You know it's a horrendously cast season when at least two cast members have no airtime and they are supposedly "rockers." This season is blah.

Welcome!!
These "close your eyes and point", "hot button" issues are so lame. I can't remember, were we talking about family issues, eating disorders or racial tension? And who belongs to which issue? These people are blah blah blah, then they talk about the blah blah blah, then they do a confessional about the blah blah blah. Can someone please spit in a taco (as opposed to Ty's face)? Who didn't see a bad ending to that fiasco coming? The troubled black guy and the opinionated cult girl in a wrestling match - yeah, that had ANY chance of ending up well.
I would be so pissed if I made it to The Real World and got stuck with this cast. I don't know if Andrew's growing on me because he's funny, or because he's the only one who doesn't make me want to pick my eyes out. These people are so lame they're gonna grow up to be the parents on "World's Strictest Parents".
