The Peasants Revolt!

*I had to write this as sort of an addendum to Chig’s take on last night’s episode.*

Let’s get right to the bottom of this one folks. Last night’s Real World was, to say the least one of the most ridiculous, yet entertaining episodes I have ever laid eyes on. This season has gone from being one of the dullest seasons to, frankly one of the best (The episode was that LEGENDARY). Let’s recap.

Ryan, Sarah's boyfriend comes to visit. When he arrives she jumps into his arms and tells him how much she has missed him (Although, it would have foreshadowed Ryan’s personality way more accurately if he had jumped into hers). At dinner later, Will and Ryan share a few awkward moments as Will proceeds to have a burping aka flirting contest with Sarah right in front of him. This begins the “The Ryan is a pussy and has no backbone” portion of our program. When Greg returns home, he makes sure to introduce himself to Ryan. This is followed by Greg in the confessional room shitting (figuratively of course) on Ryan for being a ‘dweeb’. When Greg brings a girl (episode skank #1) home for Dave, Kimberly (generic blondie Dave fucks occasionally) is left alone. Will tells Kim to confront Dave, but she doesn't want to (because she constantly lies to herself that she doesn’t like him). One of Greg and Dave's guest make a comment saying that Brianna is ghetto (not the first time she has been called that) and she starts ranting about how the guests are whores (this coming from a stripper). Brianna and Greg proceed to have a shouting match (first time we really see emotion from him, which is a huge breakthrough for his character). Then all of a sudden Greg starts in with Sarah. Sarah charges out of her room and confronts Greg on his behavior towards women (If you didn’t all ready know, Greg refers to women he hooks up with as ‘Associates’ and regular girls as ‘females’, which is a little weird but not nearly as bad as the common bitch, slut, skank vernaculars). Greg calls out Ryan from another room to say that if he wants to defend his ‘female’ (Sarah) and fight he will get beat up (Greg says this only because he knows Ryan is a pussy). Ryan tells Greg that he doesn't want to fight (for the obvious reasons of not wanting to get his ass kicked) but insists that Greg not to call Sarah a bitch and also that Greg not call women "hoes".

Because Real World hadn’t made Ryan look like a pussy enough, they cut to him admitting that the argument with Greg felt like a real fight (Haha). Brianna decides that she likes Ryan because he isn't the type of guy that has balls (girls always say that but what they really mean is they like guys that are pussies as friends, not hook up material). Kimberly admits to her Mom that she has been getting close to Dave (fucking constitutes getting close, right?), but says that she doesn't want to get too close. That night, Dave admits to Justine (skank #2, who Dave actually like likes) that he had people over the night before. Justine tells him that he doesn't have to explain to her. Back at the house Dave and Justine do a confessional together and proceed to make out in the confessional booth. Kimberly sees an opportunity (to be an ultimate bitch) and informs Justine and her friends that Dave has been intimate (the same kind of intimate as with her) with other girls in the past few nights. Justine and her friends decide to leave the house and Dave gets so mad that he threatens to knock out the girls (what is it with huge muscular guys threatening to punch girls this season? First Joey, now Dave?) if they even look at him wrong. Greg looks up at Dave and tells him that Justine wasn't even that hot, and so he shouldn't be upset. Dave gets very defensive and starts to yell at Greg, his anger towards the girls being displaced at Greg.

Inside the house Dave is still mad at Greg. Brianna takes Greg's "associate" Reva (queen of all hoes) aside and warns her about Greg. Greg tells Queen Ho that she can't talk with any of the females in the house or he won't be her ‘associate’ anymore. Brianna and Will take some time to soak their feet and talk about Greg. When Greg comes outside and wonders what they were talking about Brianna ends up telling him that he is a dog because of his chauvinist attitude towards women.

Meanwhile, Sarah discovers that all of her brand new underwear has been stolen. She confronts Greg, but he swears that he didn't take the missing underwear. Sarah tells Ryan about her missing things and cries that she can't live like this. Sarah calls her parents and they comfort her about her missing things. When she is done with her call, Greg tries to get in to use the phone, but Sarah stubbornly keeps the phone away from Greg, even though her vagina boyfriend tells her to let it go (is that 4 acts of pussyism for Ryan now? I notice a theme here). Greg admits to some of the pranks to Will but still denies taking Sarah's underwear.

Ryan quietly douches his V and exits stage left (I didn’t even notice he left). Later, Brianna decides to rummage around Greg's belongings for Sarah's missing underwear. She doesn't find it. That night at a club (which one I forgot as they go to 2 or 3 different Hollywood clubs every episode), Greg admits to Will that he took the underwear (notice how he thinks of Will as his only friend in the house? This will come into play very soon). Will then proceeds to inform Dave of Greg's confession. Back at the house, Will takes his aggression towards Greg out on a punching bag and a wall. Greg wonders what Will's problem is and Will tells him that he needs to return Sarah's missing underwear (He apparently is the keeper of Sarah now, like a brother). After Sarah finds her missing things Will tells her about Greg's admission of guilt. The roommates discuss how they can't trust Greg anymore (which is funny to me because they never trusted him in the first place) and Dave says that he would love to kick Greg's ass (Dave at least once an episode tries to get into a fight for no reason at all). Will makes a move on Greg's "associate" Reva. On the dance floor Will and Reva start to kiss.

Later that night Reva calls for Greg and he informs her that he is upset with her. Reva denies anything happening and Greg decides to invite her over to the house. Once Reva is at the house she wastes no time in jocking Will behind Greg’s back. Kimberly tells Reva of Greg's pranks. When Will enters the room, Kimberly agrees to be the look out for Reva and Will so they can hook up in the confessional room alone. Greg searches the house for Reva but to no avail. When he tries to look in the confessional booth they slam the door in his face.

Greg worries that Reva and Greg are doing something in the confessional (obviously), and is right. When Will and Reva exit the confessional (after oral sexing each other and who knows what else), Reva lies to Greg and says that they were just talking (Haha, ok…). Greg ends up believing Reva (even though he states it isn’t logic to do so) and forgives her, as long as she agrees to stay away from his roommates. Fade to dark…

Closing thoughts…

When the season began, I automatically thought Greg was an arrogant douche (and I still think that) because he calls people peasants and gets under people’s skin every chance he can get. But this episode was down right cold. The gang mentality in the house has officially gotten out of hand to the point where everything Greg does is blown way out of proportion by the rest of the roommates. Besides being arrogant, his biggest offense was putting rocks in Will’s bed, putting a bloody tissue in Dave’s bed, and stealing Sarah’s underwear. Annoying for sure, but hardly serious. I used to think Will was awesome but for him to punish Greg by fucking his ‘Associate’ was just uncalled for in my opinion.

Did the punishment fit the crime? You tell me.

I end with a photo of happier times
