You Know You Make Me Want To Shout

rachel_shouts2Wow. I hope everyone had their entertainment system turned down low Tuesday night because if your volume was anywhere higher than 3, chances are you blew out your speakers, what with Rachel's ear-shattering tirade on The Real World: Austin. Yes, tempers flared and libidos swelled on this week's episode, and after a few weeks of piddling drama, we finally returned to what Bunim/Murray Productions does best: sex and anger. And honestly, is there any better way to encapsulate the twentysomething experience?

The show began at... (drum roll)... The Dizzy Rooster! Yay variety! On tonight's episode of Life At The Cock, Wes met a lovely young woman named Wren -- like the songbird, or perhaps the Waste Recycling Environmental Limited. Either/or. Anyway, Wren (no relation to those hotties Toucan and Cockatiel) inspired nothing but love from our boy Wes; although you wouldn't know it to hear him speak. "Life at the bar is like being a hunter," Wes explained. "I look for the best girl in the bar, and I will go after her." Yes. Like the barrel-shaped Megan from a few weeks ago.

Nevertheless, despite being positively smitten by Wren, Wes still felt the need to talk a big game. "I'm telling you right now. I'm not a nice guy," he insisted as he walked her back to the house. Moments later, as they stood at the doorway, he then said, "I'm going inside. If you want to come in, I'd be ecstatic." WHAT AN ASSHOLE! He's so not a nice guy! What sort of pussy-ass sweetheart ever politely invites a girl inside without applying that much pressure! JERK!

Amazingly, Wren took Wes up on this "not-a-nice-guy" offer, and inside they sat around the kitchen table while Johanna, Rachel, and Lacey ogled just inches away. Making this scene even more awkward was Wes -- surprise, surprise -- who after a good 45 minutes seemed to have discovered his soulmate in this random barfly. "Right now, you're the kind of girl that I swear to God I could make changes in my life for," he confessed, apparently not concerned with coming off as ca-RAY-zee (cuckoo clock sounds going off left and right). You see, it's not that Wes wears his heart on his sleeve. It's more like his heart IS his sleeve.

The Wren and Stumpy Show


Of course, threatened by the attractive competition sitting at the table, Johanna immediately began ragging on Wren behind her back, making silly pantomime gestures and goofy faces. One might say she was the one-woman TVgasm of the mansion. Ah, but nary an episode can go by without Johanna saying at least one dishonest comment. Let's hear what she has to say about Wren and Wes: "She's young, pretty, thin. Am I jealous? No. Do I feel sorry for him? Yes." Oww! I just got stabbed by Johanna's nose poking through the TV!

As for Wes, well, he's never one to fail us in the self-deluded department either. Regarding Johanna: "I really don't care that much. If she's jealous, great. Good for her." This coming from the man who made a bet insisting he could make Johanna jealous -- NOT THAT HE CARES.

Anyway, Wes continued to dote on his freshly caught Wren. "Do you not think that it's fate maybe that I met you so early?" he asked in a classically embarrassing moment. He continued: "I think it's an asset that I met you so early." As asset? Whaa? Will the capability of being able to meet Wren "earlier" somehow better Wes's life skills? What is he talking about? Why is Wes such an idiot? God, I love this cast.

Well, Wren had the patronizingly non-commital response Wes so deserved: "Believing something like that is really good." Ouch. Is it cold in here? Actually, what was so amusing about Wren's comment was that she delivered it in this sweet, "I love you" tone that completely distracted Wes from her subtle put-down. Good ole Wes. Always quick on the uptake.

jackie:

I hate nehemiah.

LizaD:

B-side, you are freakin hilarious. The picture of Rachel crying because "the Postal Service has banned cotton candy ice cream"...I laughed out loud.
You are always so right-on in your re-caps.

DEZ:

yeah isnt he such a jack ass? at first I thought he was the level headed one in the house, but then I realized he's a shady little instigator.. and how arrogant. catch the part where he tells Wes after making out with Johanna- "you better fuck her".. eww

bacardi:

What exactly is wrong with this overly emotional hippopotamus?

Duckie:

Wren was seriously hot! I wish we'd get to see some more of her, but sadly I suspect that Wes' creepy lovetalk wigged her out so much that she'll be a no-show the rest of the season. Wes is teh idiote.

So what did Wren mutter as she hung up the phone? Something about "guess I won't be seeing you around then"? Heheheh.

In other news, when did Nehemiah become such a dick?

Captain Save-A-Ho:

I think I just found my new username. Hopefully Rachel goes on an eating binge and gains another 100 lbs. Stupid fat bitch.

Captain Save-A-Ho:

Oh, on Wren. Was it just me or did she have an enormously large forhead. She's hot and all but that frontal bone goes on forever.

bacardi:

How strong is Danny to be able to carry that beached whale Rachel? DAMN!

nima:

I love Nehemiah. He speaks the voice of the people (the viewers) on what we all want to say but can't convey through our televisions.

Viva la Nehemia!

C-side:

Rachel is pretty funny. I liked how they flashed back to the last argument she had with Nehemiah about being in Iraq.. My only question is was she holding the handcuffs during the fight this episode like she was when arguing about Iraq??

ali:

HAHA! I too laughed out loud when I saw the picture of Rachel "Rachel just learned that cotton candy ice cream has been banned by the Postal Service." HAHAHA!!! She is a freak.

It really pissed me off that Wes and Johanna hooked up because just to be an obvious girl that gives girls a bad name, the only reason that she hooked up with him was bc she saw him getting someone else and Wes is so annoying!!! He is so full of himself and should not be.


thedizzycock:

ok..ok...about wren. that's not forehead, that's a fivehead!! and seriously what is the deal with johanna hooking up with wes, the hunter?

watch_these_shows_and_hate_myself_for_it:

Can Wes be taking himself seriously? I laughed out loud at this tool more times than I can count. He is FAR from good looking. His head looks like it was stuck in a vice and smushed just a little too much.

And Rachel, oh Rachel. She's got issues. But please, everyone - she is far from fat. A lot of the "skinny" girls on these shows, I think, look unhealthy. She at least looks like she eats. And that is NOT a bad thing.

mike:

Saw the previews for the next episode and wren was in the previews.

Captain Save-A-Ho:

No, she's fat. And she needs a nose job desperately.

the dude:

she's definitely on the chunky side. great candidate for dr. 90210.

Leah3t:

Well, in this episode we saw something I dont think I've seen on the real world. SOMEONE READING A BOOK. Rachel was reading (or looked more like feigning reading) some non bookjacketed tome as she really just made a show of ignoring Neh.

And who calls their parents when someone calls them a slut? MOOOOOOMMMM my 22 year old roommate called me a naaaaame!!!

But Nehimiah better stop saying that he's about peace. he's about starting crap in his house.

curly:

Uh, did anyone else notice that Rachel called Neminah a slut FIRST? She said 'you're a slut' and he retorted back with 'no you're a slut'

Sorry but if you call someone a slut- (or anything) you can't be hatin on someone for giving back at you.

I also question her talking about all the death and destruction in Iraq but then telling Neminah she hopes he dies/get shot in the street.
Not that Nem is an angel or anything but seriously this girl is such a hypocrite.

Rachel:

Rachel is NOT fat. You guys are maniacs. Clearly you are bitter about your 300 pound wives sitting AROUND the house eating bon bons all day and you are being passive aggressive in your determining that Rahel is fat.

EdHill:

THe best aprt about RAchels full on meltdown was the look on dannys face as she went from joking screaming, to psychotic bulging even crazy yelling. And you caught a screenshot of it. perfect.

She freaking turnfd on a dime. it was crazy. I loved it.

I also get a kick whenever MTV shwos those ugly black and white pictures of her and her boyfriend from a kissing booth. Man she looks like a fat tranny in those pictures.

lovin life baby:

post #19 has got to be rachel from the show, or another fat girl taking up for one of her peeps!! hahaha

lovin life baby:

oh...and rachel is fat.

melinda:

nehemiah & rachel were both wrong.

i'm the slut.

joslyn:

Hey, I was on the "Rachel is not fat" bandwagon at first, too, until this episode. I could see if she had a couple of kids, had been married a few years, living a stressed out life of a working mom with little time for personal upkeep-OK, then I would say she looks pretty good for like a 35 year old. But I'm sorry, to be only 22 and to have that much spread is just unnecessary. And she is supposed to be in the miltary, too? My sister is just in the Army Reserves, and they have to workout and do drills all the time, so what's up with all that jelly? Aren't you supposed to develop discipline in all areas of your life, including your behavior and eating habits in the military? Rachel is just a ball of contradictions and impossible to feel sorry for.

Surprise-the outcast will turn out to be Rachel or judging by next week's preview, Neihmiah in this cast.

couchpotato:

You guys/gals are harsh! Rachel has mental and physical issues and I'm sure those aren't easy to cure. The look on Danny's face during Rachel's outburst - priceless! And what's the over/under on when Neihmiah gets kicked off the show? I hope that doesn't happen, but I just sayin...

embarassedfan:

I'm going to get an eating disorder from reading these posts. Stop calling normal women fat. Consider it a challenge, trying to be funny without the words fat, cow or hippo.

EdHill:

Rachel is a fatty boombatty fatty.

Rachel is so fat the back of her neck looks like a pack of hotdogs.

Rachel is so fat the last time she seen 90210 is on the scale.

Rachel is so fat when she stepped on a scale it said "to be coninued".

Rachel is so fat she makes Free Willy look like a tic tac.

challenge is on:

I agree completely with embarassed fan:

I'm going to get an eating disorder from reading these posts. Stop calling normal women fat. Consider it a challenge, trying to be funny without the words fat, cow or hippo.

fatfatfatfatfatfatfatfatty:

Rachel is so fat when she sits around the house..she sits AROUND the house!

Rachel is so fat she has to take her jeans off to get the change out of her pockets.

Jennifer:

Personally, I don't think Rachel is fat. She may be a little thick but FAT, come on. Yes, you do run a lot in the Army but give the girl a break. She just got back from Iraq, no matter if she was nursing sick soldiers or running from bombs. And to top it off, SHE WAS DRUNK that night that she flipped on Neh. He was being a total ass. His reason for her to not mess w/ the bouncers was b/c he didnt want her to mess up his "hook up w/ drinks." F that!

Jennifer:

OH by the way... "fi-ya," I LOVE IT! I love Danny too!

Emily:

Rachel is a pretty big drama queen. Did anyone else notice that Wes & Johanna were wearing the same clothes when they made out that they were wearing during the nehemiah/rachel argument? Could it be the same night and they portrayed it to be the next night that they made out???

curious fan:

does anyone know if wes and johanna end up hooking up again?? kissin, grabbin butts, doin it?? just curious.

scorpiella:

Leah3t #17

I was also completely creeped out that Rachel would call not just her parents, but her FATHER and talk about her random hook up! Who tells their dad that they made out with a random guy at a bar?!?!? He must be so proud of his little angel.

amygirl:

Dude-
You are fucking hillarious... "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you... Wohanna"
YOU KILL ME!!

E:

Emily, I think you're right, because I saw some fajitas cookin' in the kitchen when people were reacting to the Wohanna hook-up. And you know, nothing stands between Rachel and her fajitas.

As for all the fat/not fat chatter, I don't think the shallow bastards who believe making fat jokes is a form of high social commentary should criticize our little Real Worlders on their behavior. Maybe y'all are compensating for something missing in your lives?

josiedt:

"Rachel just learned that cotton candy ice cream has been banned by the Postal Service."

LMAO. I live for these recaps.

jindun:

I love Neh, but he is hurtful sometimes. Oh, & stop making fat jokes, you're making all the fatties mad.

bacardi:

OK so maybe Rachel isn't Rosie O'Donnell fat or Star Jones fat, but she is definately, absolutely, positively Real World fat.

easy-e:

very well put, bacardi. (applause)

Captain Save-A-Ho:

All you fatties saying she isn't fat are wrong. Her BMI has to be in the overweight range, just look at her body on the next episode. Perhaps you should stop bitching about us calling like we see it and get an exercise program. Your heart, kidneys and circulatory system will appreciate it.

Holly:

curly--I did notice that. RACHEL CALLED NEHEMIAH A SLUT FIRST. And whatever, I think she's annoying as hell so I really didn't care that he gave it back to her.

And oh yeah... she IS fat, and doesn't even have a good shape to make up for it. You guys are nucking futz if you can't see that.

Did I mention she's ANNOYING??? And loud (in a bad way). Let's not forget that. :p

Sure, Nehemiah's not perfect. No one is. But I still like him best. (Go Neh!) ;)

Holly:

Yeah I love how she called her daddy--and of course LEFT OUT the fact that she was barrading Nehemiah (without just cause; sound familiar??) for at least 3 minutes before he said A WORD. Can we say BIACH? lol...

ali:

I totally agree with you Holly. Rachel is damn annoying. She may not be completely fatty but she is gross and her personality doesn't maker her any better. what is up with saying she "hopes he gets shot in the street"?? or has an aneurysm in his sleep"??? Who says that and then is all high and mighty about everything else...what class..

go vols:

i just saw the new lineup for celebrity fit club...and rachel is on it!!! hahahahahaha

danny:

tha house is on fi-ya!!

Nina:

"Okay, okay. Eat your fajita. Man, I don't even want to think about what would have happened had Nehemiah interrupted her cotton candy ice cream experience. She probably would have come at him with a chainsaw, yelling "DIE DIE DIE!!!"

God, could you get any funnier B? Websites that make me laugh out loud are A's in my book. And my book is a place that you should want to be.

Nice re-cap! I laughed my ass off! "fi-ya!!" That's awesome! He's adorable...but, weren't Danny and Nehemiah telling Wes he had to sleep with Johanna "for America?" I didn't think it had anything to do with his trip to the bathroom.

Holly:

Yeah Danielle, that's what I thought too.

whocares:

was she really yelling about fajitas?

PwRlifter:

MELINDA...MELINDA...MELINDA is so hot!!
Is Danny nuts? If he takes a pass on her, send her to me. Pretty, sensative, built like brick crapper, and smart [mostly].
How can I write her and be sure she will get my letter? Melinda, lets go to Hawaii for 10 days and get to know one another.
PwRlifter

Anyone else notice that Television without pity totlally stole the Wren and Stumpy caption for their real world headline?

Cheap!

Courtney:

Has anyone else heard that melinda is pregnant????

Jenna:

MELINA IS SO FRIGGIN PRETTY ! and also i dont think rachel is "fat" i mean i guess she is chunky but not like 300 lbs fat but she could use a healthier eating plan maybee

DANNY is so hott they're all pretty hott this timee

THIS SEASON IS MY FAVORITE YET
