Been thinking about how to go about recapping last night's episode... I typically write up a number of offensive things in the recap and thats a little hard to do when someone on the show received word about their mom losing her fight against Cancer.
It's kinda hard to not think how exploitive these shows are... but the Real World kinda has a shitty track record when it comes to this stuff. I don't want to openly speculate how much Jay's chances were improved to be on the show because of what was going on at home...
I just want to make it very clear that he's not exactly the most compelling character on the show this season and he's possibly the worst MC I've ever heard.
I don't quite see how he could ever leave his mom at the drop of a hat and fly across the country to have my life documented 24 hours a day by MTV.
You're probably reading this and wondering why I'm shitting on Jay... well, I had intended to simply post scores and leave no recap but Jay did something that made no fucking sense to me last night. After pounding "in loving memory" shots at the bar with family, he goes outside with Jenna and camera crew to call the roommates out west.
Perhaps this is something they asked him to do... I'm pretty sure I'd be in a social coma and checking in on people I just met 9 days earlier wouldn't really be on my mind.
On said phone call -Jay informs Thomas that it's his roommates that are providing the strength for him to propel forward. I wish I fucking wrote down what he said... because it was absolutely absurd.
So enough about that... lets get to the top 3 ballerz of the week.
85 points - Ashley M.
Can we briefly acknowledge the fact that nearly 70 percent of the episode was spent on Jay and Ashley still lead the week in scoring? She was practically in half of the remaining 30 percent of the show because she decided to pull a fucking no-show and quite possibly got kicked off. So how exactly did she pull 85 points off? Glad you asked...
- 10 points - for crying twice in the episode... once over a purse that may never have been recovered.
- 20 points - for getting drunk... she didn't get the full 25, because we've seen her get that drunk
- 25 points - for getting THAT DRUNK
- 30 points - for threatening to leave and actually doing it.
65 Points - Jay
I've already shat on Jay so I'm just going to get to his score...
- 40 points for crying
- 25 points for Funeral Sex... I'm presuming he got it in with Jenna while back east. No sex is better than mourning sex.
35 points - Arielle
How do I say this without it sounding "stalky"... I fucking love this girl and I want to be her friend. Can we work together and get word back to her that I'm awesome and that we would be great friends? Real Talk: she was trying to find some private time to use her vibrator - got interrupted by Thomas (who's a fucking waste of space by the way) and she politely humored him. She's a fucking angel!
- 5 for crying
- 5 for the sexy kiss
- 25 for Sex. Well deserved, post Arielle home made dinner - sex.
