The Real World Sydney: Friends Again

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Isaac's back! And bringing some ruckus with him. I never knew Isaac could be so much fun. We never really saw that side of him all season until recently. The most we ever saw from him was a few back handed comments here and there which led me to believe he was not that nice of a person. Turns out I couldn't have been more wrong. It's not that he's a bad person, he's just very honest and likes to enjoy himself. And now that they're showing more of his time in the house we get to enjoy his crazy antics too.
What do I speak of? Well, anyone who saw this week's episode knows exactly what I'm referring to. The guy jumped into the massive fish tank in the house and swam around with snorkeling gear on. More than that, he did it naked!!! With Noireen undressed and wrapped in a sheet and the other roommates watching, Isaac reminded everyone in the house that they're still in this amazing place for another couple months and there's no reason to dwell over Trisha. Instead, they should have fun, be friends, and rejoice in the fact that the most manipulative roommate is gone. The truth is that Isaac was right and I'm glad someone finally said it - Trisha was a mean and manipulative person and everyone in the house will now be able to enjoy themselves a lot more with her gone. We can already see it getting better; when was the last time you remember seeing everyone in the house laughing together? I honestly can't remember.

Isaac homecoming made this episode great and one of the best in a while. I think Ashli did a good thing in talking to Kelly Anne. Isaac really got to Ashli when he made her realize that not only did she not know Trisha but that she wasn't necessarily the best person. Ashli realized after this that she was in this new place with a great opportunity to make lifelong friends and she was blowing it over something that she wasn't even a part of. Her talk with Kelly Anne was very well thought out and I'm glad someone was able to knock some sense into her. I still Ashli is wrong for her extracurriculars with Dunbar and that Kelly Anne is extremely immature but at least Kelly Anne recognized how immature she was and that she needs to give Parisa a chance. It was nice to see all three of them talk and decide to start fresh. It'll be a nice change to see everyone in the house get along; maybe we'll even see some fun being had.

Speaking of Ashlia and Dunbar, who is Ashli kidding? "I never crossed the line." Just because she hadn't hooked up with him yet doesn't mean spooning and sleeping in the same bed with him isn't crossing the line. It's sad how people convince themselves that what they're doing isn't as bad as it is in order to suit their purposes. Ashli doesn't want to believe she's doing anything wrong because she wants it to keep going. And then, they had sex. We knew this was coming. They were flirting with the possibility for so long that there was no way it wasn't going to happen so long as they kept pushing the envelope. I feel terrible for Julie because she seems like a really good person. It's incredibly selfish of Dunbar to not tell her what happened. He needs to tell her so she can make a choice about what she wants, he doesn't get to decide what he wants anymore. Oh, and the dude has to stop saying he loves Julie; YOU DO NOT LOVE JULIE! Or at the very least you don't respect her if you're willing to do this and on national television!
Aside from that, Dunbar pretending it was his birthday was great and I really like the fact that he kept it a secret. It was funny watching everyone toast his birthday.This was a great episode and could be a turning point in the season. I can't imagine the Dunbar-Ashli stuff is going to work out given all the baggage and apparently the honeymoon is going to end pretty soon. Don't forget we still have the Dunbar and Kelly Anne pregnancy scare to look forward to. It seems that the condom burst and Cohutta thinks she may be pregnant. Whether or not she is, is yet to be seen. What do you all think? Is Kelly Anne pregnant? I'll do my best to find a spoiler for you and let you know. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: Enjoy Your Flight

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

This is what it comes down to - do or die; apologize or pack your bags. I guess Trisha really wanted to go home because that was probably the worst and remorseless apology I have ever heard in my entire life. Trisha literally looked Parisa straight in the eyes, knowing how much she's hurt her, and apologized with a smirk. She showed absolutely no remorse or sympathy for Parisa and this is why Parisa had no choice but to send her home. Peace out Trisha! Apparently, you'll be missed...by maybe 1 or 2 people.

From Day 1 Trisha was out for herself. She started fights, she talked trash behind the roommate's backs, and she generally manipulated everyone in the house. Somehow Shauvon (when she was there), Kelly Anne, and Ashli managed to be completely blind to this and "loved her." So when Trisha left (in a really touching and sad moment; oh please, we'll get to this soon) Kelly Anne reverted to a 13 year old with her little home wrecker buddy Ashli tagging along. To be honest, I have always been a big fan of Kelly Anne's. Not only is she cute but she was always the sane one in the group of girls. This week though I lost just about all respect I had for her. She turned into this disgusting person who not only tortured Parisa for pure pleasure but acted with less maturity than the 8th graders a friend of mine teaches. Did she really need to lean over the stairs and spit on the phone room glass while Parisa was on the phone? This was definitely a very low moment in the life of Kelly Anne and I only hope she'll realize how pathetic she looked.
I said I'd get to it so here it is: Trisha's farewell. If you're a person like me you probably felt a bit sad for Trisha even though she completely deserved to get kicked out of the house. That is, until she said her final goodbye to Parisa. You would think that after everything she might have some sense of wrongdoing; that maybe she would realize that she did something wrong. Well, as we all saw that never happened. In fact, Trisha left with the same "better than thou" attitude that she had all season and the very same one that lost her the spot in the house. She really showed just how terrible of a person she is and I for one am glad person kicked her out.

Normally a departure like this takes up a whole episode but the producers actually moved us through it pretty quickly. Probably so we could watch Kelly Anne embarrass herself the rest of the episode. Anyway, not much else took place. The rest of the night we basically saw the repercussions of Parisa's decision. Essentially, the guys have no problem with her decision (and actually support it) and the girls are torturing her for it. It should be interesting now that Ashli was moved to Parisa's team and made the leader. Considering everything that went down it might not work out so well for them.

In the end Trisha was not the bigger person she claims to be and the other girls became her heir apparents. Maybe things will get better next week. I can't imagine they'll go the next 2+ months in that house hating each other with such intensity. Only time will tell though. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: The Birds & Off The Hook

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

So here's how today's review is laid out. I'm basically combining the last two episodes into one review because I think they fit well together and the same drama has sort of bled it into each episode.

Let me start by saying that Isaac is insane. It's plain and simple, he's just insane. He sees birds because he used to be addicted to acid? Now, I'm not a doctor or anything but I'm sure there is absolutely nothing normal about that occurring even after being addicted to a powerful drug. Add to the insanity the fact that he sees black birds once in a while and if he does it means someone close to him is dead. That's just creepy and the fact that it actually turns out to be correct is even creepier. How in the world can something like that happen? What's even more odd to me is that he claims its a result of taking acid for a long time. So is he saying that if you're addicted to acid then the after effects cause you to become some sort of psychic? I don't know what's wrong with this guy but I've had this odd feeling all season that something just wasn't right with him. He's always seemed a bit off and this may explain a whole lot.

So what was Isaac's response to seeing the black bird? He leaves the house very early in the morning to go back home for his grandfather's funeral. At least he told Noirin where he was going so that someone knew but he should have mentioned something to the roommates. Plus, his note about being faxed to China was just weird. Hopefully everything was alright back at home, or at least as alright as it can be after losing someone close to you.

I was VERY angry at the blatant attempt at creating drama by the producers during this episode. Are we really expected to believe that it was pure coincidence that Dunbar, Ashli, Kelly Anne, and Cohutta were put on the same work team? I think it's pretty crappy to screw with a guy that's trying to stay faithful to his girlfriend (not that he's trying all that hard as we see in the next episode). More than that though, it's a shot at our (the viewers) intelligence that we wouldn't notice such an obvious attempt at creating drama. Also, Parisa and Trisha on the same team? Blatant attempt to create drama? Hmmmm. On this note though, I have to say that I think Ashli is very scummy. She claims to not be the type of girl that hooks up with a guy who has a girlfriend yet she takes every opportunity she can to flirt with him and put her hands on him. For instance, when they were at the bar not only did she call another girl trying to hit on Dunbar a slut (which was totally random and not necessary) but she also was openly flirting with him and grinding with him on the dance floor. Who really was the slut there?

Dunbar better watch out or Julie is going to dump his butt faster than he can even say the name Ashli. As we see in the next episode, he finds even more creative ways of getting close to crossing the line he can never go back over.

(next episode)

In "Off The Hook" Dunbar became a moron. Alright, alright...he was a moron even before tonight. Does the guy seriously think that just because he hasn't actually hooked up with Ashli at this point that Julie isn't going to dump his butt when the episodes aired? If my girlfriend was constantly talking about another guy, flirting with him non-stop, grinding with him at the bar every night she goes out, and now sleeping in the same bed with him, we'd be over in a heartbeat. I cannot understand what he's thinking at all. Obviously he isn't thinking too much or he wouldn't be doing any of this. Can he really think that just by placing a pillow between himself and Ashli in bed that he's safe from being accused of cheating? PLEASE! You two were cuddling all night while your faithful and understanding girlfriend is at home thinking you're still in love with her. Then on top of all this Dunbar picks a fight with Julie because she thought the nickname "Dummybear" was funny. Which it totally is by the way. If Julie has any respect for herself she'll dump him the second she sees this episode because there's no way he'll stay faithful down the road if he's willing to do all of this and justify it too.

Before I move on, I'd just like to point out again how ridiculous Ashli is. She totally pulls Dunbar into this web of cheating even when he's not thinking about it (not that he's totally innocent). The perfect example is Ashli's teasing about having a 3-way spooning with her and Kelly Anne. No guy in their right mind would avoid that conversation. Any conversation about two beautiful girls wanting to spoon with you will always be something you want to hear about. And Ashli totally kept pushing the point, trying to get him worked up thinking about it. She's very devious and I could totally see her getting Dunbar to cheat and then being like, oh whatever I don't want you now. He needs to watch his back and decide one way or the other what he wants.

As for everyone else in the house Kelly Anne and Cohutta have been pretty quiet lately with their goings on. Apparently they sleep in each others bed on a regular basis but we haven't seen too much drama from them. For now I'll take that as a hint that they may actually be establishing a legitimate relationship there. Unfortunately, it seems a pregnancy scare is going to be coming their way in the near future...

Next we get to Parisa and Trisha. Ah, don't we just love these two. Well...no we don't but I do have some friends that think Trisha is gorgeous. Personally, I think she's alright; nothing special. But that's all besides the point. The point here is that these two just cannot seem to get along at all. Every week I go back and forth between who is right and who is wrong. Each of them seems to do something stupid and inconsiderate to the other, alternating between aggressor and aggressee. I've come to the conclusion though that they're is no right person in all of this; they're both equally wrong. They both purposely egg on the other and both of them purposely attack the other, looking for ways to start a fight. Tonight, for instance, Trisha purposely had to push Parisa's button about the phone calls while Parisa just had to ignore all the roommates cleaning and go work out. Parisa knew this would drive Trisha nuts just as Trisha knew making fun of Parisa's family would do the same. In the end though, it seems Trisha may have lost. She let her temper boil over and pushed Parisa down to the floor. As we all know, physical attacks are not permitted in the house and I guess now Parisa gets to decide whether Trisha stays or goes.

Parisa certainly has a tough decision to make now. Given the animosity with Trisha and how much she's been hurt, of course she should want to send her home. She probably even deserves to go after everything she's done to her. But if Parisa sends her home then the other roommates are going to be pissed at her the rest of their time there since Parisa has been just as bad. This is a tough situation but I think Parisa may end up letting her stay. These situations often turn into love fests where the person in Parisa's shoes allows the other to stay. Then they end up reconciling the rest of the season. I don't see them being best friends but if Parisa wants to save face and show she's above all this she should let her stay.

Fun times at the Real World house. I'm glad to see the drama picking up a bit. Things should start to get even more interesting in the next couple of weeks. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: The New Girl

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Fun times in the Real World House again! Well, not so much but at least Isaac is having fun with his new friend/girlfriend/sleepover friend Noireen. The two of them have no idea exactly what their relationship is or where it's going but they seem to really enjoy each others company. Isaac in particular is an entirely different guy when he's with Noireen and it's nice to see that he could be a good guy when he wants to be. To be honest, I didn't think Isaac had it in him to not only be nice but to smile and be happy. The guy has skulked around for the entire season and the only time we really hear him speak is when he's putting someone down.

This girl brings out the best in him and he should hold on to her as long possible. Sadly, he was a dumbass and brought home three girls from the bar the first night he didn't hang out with Noireen. I have absolutely no idea what he was thinking because they weren't even cool girls. Even more, why would he tell Noireen about it if he wasn't planning on anything happening with them AND he kicked them out. It was harmless and if she's not his girlfriend then it's good that he didn't do anything but he didn't need to say anything about it. True he was piss drunk which just goes to show why you should unplug all phones before drinking; drunk dialing is never a good thing.

The rest of the episode didn't contain too much drama (which is a bit disappointing since that's really why we all still watch). We did get to meet Ashli for the first time and you know what, she was no where near as bad as the producers made her look in the previews. I thought we were getting a new roommate who would be disrespectful to Shauvon and her pictures on the wall, that would come in and purposefully cause drama with Parisa, and who would purposefully try to get with Dunbar despite him being with Julie. In reality, she is none of those things and in fact tried to get to know Parisa who totally shut her out from the beginning. I don't think it's because Parisa is a bad person but rather she's trying to protect herself from being hurt by a new roommate. Sadly, this just won't work. I've been there before and totally shutting yourself out to a new person actually makes a situation worse and I think we've already seen that starting to happen. I feel bad for Parisa but at the same time she puts herself in situations where she's vulnerable to attack. I think she just needs to let lose, stop caring what everyone thinks, and also think before she acts. She has a tendency to do things without thinking about others feelings but then gets upset when they're pissed at her. Ashli seems like she could be an ally or at least a mediator between the old roommates feelings towards her and Parisa but the way Parisa is pushing her away will just make her an enemy instead.

As for the future, there are a few very interesting things we saw in the preview that I can't wait to see:

- Dunbar appears to cheat on Julie with Ashli!!

- Trisha physically hits Parisa and may get kicked off the show if Parisa decides she should leave

- Kelly Anne totally turns evil and decides to go after Parisa too
- Kelly Anne may be pregnant after sleeping with Cohutta this whole time
- Isaac has a thing where if he sees a black bird it means someone is dead and he does in fact see one. Whether its a real bird or not I don't know but it sounds as if someone in his life dies while he's on the show.

The future seems to be littered with intense drama and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: Second Fiddle

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Shauvon left!!! What is this girl thinking? Great, she's in love. But what really is the point in being in love with this guy David? I've said it so many times before and I'll mention it again one last time tonight, you can't be with someone who doesn't let you live your dreams and your life. David refuses to let her experience life and pursue her passions. True, the real world house isn't the ideal place to be when you're in a relationship but the fact is that he isn't just upset about her choice to be in Sydney. She mentioned numerous times that he doesn't want her to work (which is something she wants to do) and many other specific things she mentioned over the last few episodes. He's controlling, insecure, and unwilling to allow her to live her life. Does this sound like someone you want to be with? Sadly, Shauvon left decided it was and she left Sydney to go home and marry David.

Meanwhile, the rest of the roommates left for a one week work vacation. Contiki sent them to the Cairns in order to go on one of their vacations. This was supposed to give them a perspective on the reality of the vacation packages and what they should look like. They all seemed to enjoy the trip and the Great Barrier Reef was really cool. Parisa is up to her old tricks again this time messing with Kelly Anne. Parisa is well known now as someone who will always go for a guy that happens to be involved (at whatever level) with one of the other female roommates. As Kelly Anne spent a night out dancing with a bartender (I'll talk about her situation with Cohutta in a second), Parisa immediately cut in to dance with him the second Kelly Anne walked away. Parisa is real sketchy and definitely not cool. She needs to chill out, mind her own business, and get her own life.

Now, for my favorite part of the episode, the Kelly Anne and Cohutta relationship. FINALLY we get some of the goods one what's been going on. Apparently, they've been hooking up and sleeping together for weeks now despite us not seeing anything about it. Kelly Anne though decided to speak with her ex-boyfriend Sutton on the phone and also to read some letters he wrote. This didn't go over well with Isaac and Dunbar who tried to convince Cohutta he should cut everything off before it gets messy. Cohutta refused and I think if he can control himself then it might be alright. Unlike some other people in this house, Kelly Anne never played any games. She didn't tell Cohutta there was a future for them when there wasn't or that he should expect anything in particular. They just started hooking up and never even said if they liked each other. Cohutta knows the deal though, he knows that Kelly Anne isn't the most stable relationship girl and he's taking it all very easy. Although he appears to be getting attached at least he's not deceiving himself about the reality of the situation.

After Kelly Anne spent some time flirting with guys on their trip she came home and realized that she never really should have spoken to Sutton because he did treat her very badly in the past. She fully admitted that she didn't want to get back with him and that she truly does like Cohutta. I think that although she thinks that if she likes him then after a week she won't, this isn't really the case. They've been hooking up for a while and still likes him, which is why I think it appears that at the end of the episode she finally decided to go for it full on. She told Cohutta she liked him and he did the same. This could be a very big thing as the episodes roll on. I think these two are the coolest people in the house and it would be great to see them happy together.

Next week we meet the new roommate and it seems she's not going to be all that nice. I can't wait to see her bring the drama and I would love for her to put Parisa in her place. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: Anger Mis-Management

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Hey, so Dunbar fought with Parisa for a change. Wait, that happens every week, hmmmm. Maybe Cohutta and the roomates are rigtht - there could be some sexual tension there. I mean, there has to be a reason that these two fight ever single week! It's not like they fight over anything that even matters. For instance, this week Parisa was cleaning the house, then Dunbar helped clean, and next thing we know they're yelling at the top of their lungs at each other about whether Parisa did or did not clean the house. It's ridiculous! And it's starting to get old, VERY old. These two need to either sleep together or stop talking to each other. Apparently, there's no other way for them to co-exist without freaking out on each other.

With all this excitement, you may have missed a visit from Dunbar's girlfriend, Julie. Well, probably not since they covered her visit a lot throughout the episode including the spooning and other nighttime extracurriculars that took place. These two really seem to be in love and I think she's great for Dunbar. She's his 100% opposite; whereas he is loud, obnoxious, mean, and out of control, she is very quiet, nice, put together and tolerates all his faults. I loved when she told Dunbar that he can be very mean. He refused to believe it whenever the roommates told him and I was hoping that after hearing it from her it might hit home how awful he can be towards people. Unfortunately, he still can't control himself and right after she left to go back home he attacked Parisa verbally at work. I'm convinced that Dunbar is just not a good guy and it's sad that he treats people, especially women, the way he does.

Not all that much else took place since the camera's mainly followed Dunbar and his fight with Parisa and visit by Julie. Shauvon continued her conversation with her overly insecure ex-fiance' and still hasn't decided whether or not to go home. I think this entire situation is absurd. I agree with Kelly Anne that it's understandable why he would want Shauvon out of the situation she's in now with the drinking and hooking up everywhere. The problem is that this isn't just about the Real World house. He's insecure, jealous, and demands of her things that he shouldn't be demanding. He's trying to dictate her future not just her present and that's just wrong. No one should give up all their dreams for the future because someone else tells them they have to. I hope she makes the right decision and decides to stay and look for someone who will let her be herself.

I'm still hoping we'll find out more on the Cohutta-Kelly Anne front. The producers apparently want to keep this all a secret but I think they ought to let us in on some of it already. Until next week, enjoy the review!

The Real World Sydney: Girl Fight

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

It never ends, does it? These girls can't help but fight about trivial stuff every single episode. It seems like all we've watched this season are the girls fighting with one another, the guys, and their boyfriends/ex-fiance's. Each time though I end up choosing one side and then in the next fight realizing that person is just as stupid. The only girl that ever seems to make any sense is Kelly Anne. She never really fights and the one time she did (her and Parisa over Dunbar which wasn't really a fight) she ended it in two seconds by sitting down, explaining her thoughts, and working it out with all sides. She also gives great advice. Tonight, for example, she told Shauvon that it's not love if you try to control someone, if you want things for yourself that your significant other won't allow you to do then you shouldn't be with them, and if it's this hard for Shauvon then it's not working. Too bad the other women aren't as normal as Kelly Anne.

So we started the night with the continuation of Trisha and Parisa's drunken screaming match from last week. The crazy thing is that once morning rolled around they were sitting in the kitchen talking all civilized. These girls run so hot and cold its dizzying. This little truce (if you can call it that) didn't last for too long though. Trisha decided she wanted to stay with Jared and would cut Alex and all other guys out of her life. Personally, I think this is too little too late and it seems Jared may be thinking the same thing too. Now Parisa has generally been the victim in all the fighting. The girls really do attack her unnecessarily but the girl isn't helping herself now. She took the high road many times and the one time it really mattered she didn't. Trisha came to her civilly and explained that she wanted to make sure things with Jared were alright and asked if Parisa wouldn't bring Alex to the house for right now. I think this was a reasonable request given everything. Instead of doing her this favor and maybe smoothing things over in the process, Parisa fought with her about it and made everything that much worse. The girl needs to chill and realize when she should be nice. It could go a very long way in making their lives better.

As for Shauvon, this girl needs to realize what's staring her right in the face. Thanks to Kelly Anne it actually was when she told her that any guy who tries to control you like this is not in love with you and you need to move on. This is the straight up truth. Understandably she's torn because it's someone she truly loved and was supposed to marry up until a short time ago. Except, sometimes you just need to look at reality and ask yourself if you want to be controlled and have no dreams of your own except those of your husband or if you want a life for yourself. Some people don't mind putting their life on the back burner to their spouse but if you want your own dreams the answer is easy and it's not to stay with the person and accept a life you never wanted. Man is David a controlling guy. We finally go to hear the words come out of his mouth over the phone and they not only seemed controlling but mean too. Life with him couldn't be too pretty.

One thing Parisa needs to chill out about is being judgmental. Case in point, not only does she form an opinion on Shauvon's activities with the guy at the bar but she's also completely wrong. Shauvon might love and miss David but SHE'S SINGLE! A single person can care for anyone they want, speak about it all the time, and still be free to go out and hook up with whoever. If it helps her get over David or even if it doesn't, she has every right to do whatever or whoever she chooses.

Speaking of nutty women lets get back to Trisha. I have to hand it too Cohutta and Isaac, they really surprised me with what they said to Trisha at lunch. Trisha said she thought she was testing the relationship but clearly made the wrong choice. Cohutta's response was "why did you need to test it?" and Isaac pointed out that he was once in love and never would have done what Trisha did. This is basically what many of us have been thinking as we watched her 100% knowingly go for Alex over the last few weeks. Thankfully someone over there finally said it. And man, the girl finally decides to come clean and still can't tell the truth. She tells Jared that Alex kissed her when she totally kissed him! Doesn't she realize that even if he buys it now he's going to find out what really happened when the show airs?!?! Man is she thick.

Anyway, tonight's episode was pretty good. I could go for a little less fighting and a little more loving. I want to know more about Kelly Anne and Cohutta but the producers keep giving us the fighting instead. It seems like next week it's going to be the guys turn to yell but I'm still going to hope we get more info on the roommate lovin'. See ya'll next week.

The Real World Sydney: The Grilled Cheese Incident

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Craziness ensues when women get drunk. This was the theme of the last couple episodes and very much so during tonight's. The women of the Real World house are just insane! Other than Kelly Anne I really don't think any of them are within a thousand miles of rational and I'm not even sure Kelly Anne is all that rational. Basically the situation is this: Trisha has a boyfriend; Trisha decides she likes Alex (a native Australian); Parisa also likes Alex; Parisa doesn't care about Trisha's feeling towards him because she has a boyfriend back at home; Alex plays Trisha and Parisa against each other with loads of sweet talk; Parisa makes out with Alex; Trisha then makes out with Alex; Parisa then makes out with him again...then all hell ensues.

The true issue here is beyond me because neither one of them has said any one thing consistently. I don't think they have any idea why their fighting other than that its based on the childish claims that he was theirs first. The only thing that makes any sense to me is that Trisha has a boyfriend. As I spoke about last week, I get that she saw Alex first and had feelings for him but that doesn't entitle her to any claim when she has a boyfriend that she says she loves and wants to marry. How can she then claim that Alex is hers and no one else can touch him? If she feels this upset then maybe she doesn't love her boyfriend as much as she says. It doesn't mean Parisa is the bad guy; if anything Trisha is the one in the wrong because she cheated on her boyfriend and is holding Parisa responsible for her guilt. The girl needs to get her feelings straight and figure them out before she goes after anyone else.

Speaking of lunatics, Shauvon showed her true colors tonight. First off, she needs to just back off and stay out of everyones business. It's not helping that she's throwing around her opinions in an already volatile situation. Second, what is her problem? Parisa never said anything about her or even got in her face about anything. In fact, for all we've seen, Parisa has been a good friend to her and kept her mouth shut even when Shauvon was going at her. Now, I won't pretend to believe Parisa is innocent in all this but this fight is not Shauvon's. On top of all that Shauvon then goes after Cohutta when he rightfully stood up for Parisa who was doing nothing to her at all. She went beyond nuts and even threw a glass at Cohutta which is beyond alright. Clearly she has some issues and needs to grow up A LOT! I thought she was cool when the show started but not so much anymore.

There's a couple more points I'd like to make. Was it me or was Trisha denying making out with Alex at the end of the episode? You know she's messed up in the head when she can't even admit out loud what she did. She knows she did it, we know she did it, the roommates know she did it but somehow she's trying to argue that she didnt do it. Whats up with that? Parisa might have tried to use a better word than slut when yelling at her, but is it that far off? She did cheat on her boyfriend and is still trying to get with the Alex. So is Parisa really that wrong.

Also, Parisa can be damn stupid. If you know you're drunk dialing then you're not drunk! No one who drunk dials knows that what they're doing is wrong at the time. That's the whole reason why there's a term for doing it. I think she pretended to be drunk so she would have an excuse to call Alex which is just pathetic. Also, she was pretty slutty herself when she dragged Alex into the bathroom at the bar.

Basically this was craziness and apparently it continues next week. Hopefully, the girls can work this stuff out and realize that Alex is playing both of them. It seems Parisa is starting to catch on but I doubt she'll back down as long as Trisha is coming after her. I liked the episode (craziness is always fun on the Real World) but I still want some Kelly Anne and Cohutta news. I caught a few glimpses of them flirting around the house so I think they might still be hooking up. Maybe we'll find out more next week...

The Real World Sydney: Breaking The Girl Code

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Finally!!! Finally we get some Kelly Anne-Cohutta information. We didn't get all that much but it was still something; I can't complain too much, that would just be boring for you guys to read. Well they hooked up but it doesn't seem like there's all that much going on with them at the moment. I said it in my review from a few weeks ago, if Kelly Anne knows Cohutta likes her (even after they hook up) then she won't like him anymore. She's so damn weird like that. Then again most girls are (just kidding ladies, well alright I'm not but it's all good). Her thing is that if she's more into a guy than he is into her then it's cool, but if it's the other way around then she wants out. And I think we're starting to see a bit of that in this episode. Cohutta got a little jealous when the guys in the bar wanted her and then he was extremely touchy feely and sappy back in the house. Except Kelly Anne didn't seem all that into it. Plus she had a conversation later with Isaac about how hooking up with a roommate can't work out well and that she doesn't want to hurt Cohutta. I'm thinking that this relationship won't be going much further. Then again I could be totally wrong because the girls in the house seem to be insane (so far with the exception of Kelly Anne).

Speaking of insane women in the house, Trisha, Parisa, and Shauvon are ridiculous. I'll get to Shauvon next week because the scenes for next week show her flying off the handle. For now I have enough to say about Parisa and Trisha. "The girl code" is certainly a bit different than "the guy code" but for the most part the idea is the same. My take is that if a guy/girl has hooked up with or dated someone else that person is off limits to roommates and friends in every situation unless the two happen to fall in love in which case they should be allowed to be together. So I don't really understand what Trisha is flipping out about. She has a boyfriend!! Not only that but she wants to marry this boyfriend. Not only is she flirting with this guy (and in my opinion she's even going to far with the flirting) but she's claiming him as hers when she's supposed to be faithful. You can't call dibs when you're in a monogamous relationship so Parisa should have every right to go for it with Alex.

Not that I understand why either of these girls wants him anyway. Even if they both think he's hot the guy is playing both of them. It's not even like they don't know this though. In the span of two days they caught him in a number of shady situations and then they both make out with him knowing the other person made out with him that same night. The whole situation is insane and so are these women. It is beyond me why women are so willing to go for the bad guy even when everything that's shady about him is smacking them straight in the face. Trisha is the worst in all this because on top of everything she cheated on her boyfriend at home when she made out with Alex.

Shauvon needs to chill out on the vanity a bit too. Cohutta was totally right when he said that if you don't want to know what people think of your looks then don't ask. The fact that she would get that upset because one guy doesn't think she's the hottest person in Australia speaks to how shallow she is. The girl needs to get over herself.

I really feel bad for the guys in the house, not that they're perfect themselves. Cohutta is the only real nice guy but how they can live with all these crazy women and the drama is beyond me. Thankfully, I don't have to be there myself. Next week looks to be feeled with lots of fighting but I'm hoping we get more Cohutta-Kelly Anne info. Until next week...

The Real World Sydney: Boys vs. Girls

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Finally the roommates get a job. I was actually wondering if they were going to work at all. It seems like these guys went a lot longer than past seasons before having to begin working. Their work is alright, nothing special. I think having them start a band or something would have been more interesting since they have a studio in the house. I'm sure that they're going to fight and totally screw up the tours so I won't mind seeing that.

Dunbar needs to chill out when dealing with Parisa. He looks for any excuse to attack her even though I agree that it sucks when people wake you up early. Like that morning in the car, the other guys have no problem with her cooking but Dunbar is annoyed that she does it and more than that refuses to eat her food even though its good simply because she was the one who made it. It really is terrible how he treats her but what's perplexing is that somehow the two of them always end up in the front seat of the car together or talking alone somewhere. You would think that if he hates her this much he would be as far away from her as possible.

Man though, Trisha is a horrible person. She keeps fighting with people and now she's stepped it up to flat out lying and deceit. She was full on attacking Parisa behind her back WITH Dunbar making fun of her singing but then tells Parisa everything Dunbar said and completely didn't mention anything she had said. What's even more insane is that the conversation with Parisa was about how the guys all start drama! She's far worse than the guys when she does stuff like this. It isn't the guys or the girls alone that start more drama, they all equally cause unnecessary fights in the house.

At least Dunbar told Parisa the truth about Trisha; unfortunately he still couldn't help lying at the same time. Even when he's being honest he lies. He told Parisa he didn't say anything bad about her cooking when he clearly was trashing it in the van earlier in the episode. Someone just needs to step up and admit it when they're acting shady and just accept the fact that they were caught. And Trisha lives in this alternate reality apparently where she says things but somehow they don't come from her. I think there are more than a few politicians who wish they could pull that off.

I do have one beef I need to talk about. Now I mentioned it last week but now I'm REALLY pissed!! Kelly Anne and Cohutta hooked up and after two episodes we got nothin!! Not even a mention about it, nothin! This is ridiculous. For two or three episodes we heard Kelly Anne talk about her crush and when they finally do hook up they gives us nothing more. The producer's need to get their act together and gives us a little something even if its a confessional clip of one them saying nothing more will happen. That way we'll at least know what's going on.

See you all next week and hopefully we'll get some more Kelly Anne-Cohutta info

The Real World Sydney: Mardi Gras Mayhem

ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 10PM ON MTV

Honestly, the Real World producers suck! How can they show us Kelly Anne and Cohutta finally hook up last week and then give us nada this week?! We need something man; I mean give us a little controversy, a discussion, some more footage, something!!! This is a big deal and instead, we get an episode about the Gay Mardi Gras Parade in Sydney and a big, odd, and unnecessary fight about god knows what between Trisha and Cohutta. They better give us a little something next week or I'll be crazy pissed.

Anyway, as I mentioned above, Isaac, Dunbar, Parisa, and Shauvon get all dressed up in extravagant outfits and attend the Sydney Gay Mardi Gras Parade. From what they showed us it appears to be a very large parade with groups of people dressed in extravagant outfits celebrating Mardi Gras and the gay lifestyle. It actually looked like a crazy time and they all seemed to have a lot of fun. Except, Cohutta and Kelly Anne decide not to go because they just weren't into chillin with the huge crowds. Trisha also decided to stay back because (as she said over and over and over again) her Christian beliefs do not allow her to celebrate homosexuals. This is all good and well if that's her belief but she ended up talking about it non-stop for the entire episode and then on top of it started a fight with Cohutta that was completely unnecessary. It's cool that she has such a strong religious base in her life but the girl has to chill out a bit. She just kinda went a little nutty during the episode and even cried the day before when she heard a Church song being played out in the public square that she remembered from her childhood. I think we're seeing a bit of tension between the roommates and Trisha which could lead to some interesting confrontations down the road.

The fight with Cohutta and Trisha seemed to put a damper on this episode. While the Mardi Gras scenes were fun, the fact that we spent 5 minutes watching them fight just kinda ruined this one for me. It might have been a "trip to hell" for Cohutta and Kelly Anne but it was a trip to hell for me too. I understand that Trisha didn't like Cohutta pulling up her skirt as a joke but I really have no idea what she was yelling at him for. She kept rambling on about him not understanding the principal of the thing except Cohutta kept apologizing. And she was telling Cohutta that he doesn't realize when he's in the wrong even though he still kept apologizing! She wasn't making any sense.

And let me bring up one more thing. Granted Dunbar wasn't an angel to Parisa in this episode but when did the two of them start getting all buddy-buddy and sharing intimate stuff in private with each other. Just last week he was calling her an "uptight, high class, New York bitch." When did this all change? I feel like between not getting any info on Kelly Anne and Cohutta and now Dunbar acting all close with Parisa that somehow they forgot to air an episode after last week. It's nice to see him not being an ass but it really came out of nowhere. He also spent some time telling Shauvon and the others about his grandfather molesting him and all. It's some pretty messed up stuff and no one should ever have to go through that. He says he's fine and a stronger person for it but I think he still has a lot of anger issues to work through.

So it seems that we're going to get our fill of drama next week when Trisha, Parisa, and Dunbar all clash. Maybe other's do as well but we'll just have to see next Wednesday. Leave some love and let me know what you thought about this episode.
