Real World: Explosion - Week 8 Recap

Oh shit another crazy episode of Real World Explosion. Shockingly, even with only 10 people in the house, drama continues. Let's dive right into it.

Simeon's thoughts

Jamie helps Hailey by meeting a German dude at the club named Janis. Nothing to interesting happens he's lame, she's lame, and MTV cares more about Thomas's jealousy which at this point is too played out. MTV, this shit is hackneyed, drop it. But then, newly single Jenny pulls the robbery. She starts talking to Janis and makes out with him in a random alley way hoping the cameras wouldn't find her. Is she not aware that these people literally have been doing this for 25 years? You're not going to trick them with a quick getaway into an alley way. Only reason this whole thing is worth mentioning, I haven't seen a robbery this bad since season 2 of Jersey Shore, and to be honest, it was exhilarating.

Follow the jump to see the score breakdown.

The whole time the fighting and drama was going on, Arielle and Ashley ordered a pizza. First thing that struck me as odd was Ashley's topping choices. I know they are in San Francisco and California in general loves their vegetables but shit she asked for heart of palm. Heart of fucking palm. Who wants their drunk pizza to be covered in heart of palm? They end up having to settle for artichokes. When the pizza finally arrives Jamie throws out one of those "man that pizza was a really good idea" while quite obviously hoping they will offer up a slice. Arielle snubs Jamie's advance and gets into her terrible drunk pizza.

So happy to have pizza but all the fighting ruins it. I still contend it's the shitty toppings that ruin it though.

Mike's thoughts

Best part of the show hands down was Jenny's bizarre shout whisper fight with Brian, which sporadically took place between their physical fight (Jenny delivered one of the best kicks I have seen on the Real World). So Jenny's technique during this fight is amazing, she alternates between shouting at Brian for being an inconstant hypocritical ass and leaning in super close to him and whispering freaky shit.

To be honest, I don't know how effective the technique was, because I don't know what she was trying to accomplish. But if she was trying to develop her demo reel for possible acting gigs, we can expect to see her on a Broadway rendition of Lord of the Rings as Gollum. That shit would win a Tony.

Also, Jamie got a chance to do what she does best and get into other peoples business when she confronted Jay about his relationship with Jenna. Jamie is by far my least favorite person on the show, and this doesn't help. But on the bright side Jenna finally put up points! After 7 weeks of having -5 points Jenna finally gets some screen time and instantly uses them to drunk cry. GOOD JOB JENNA.
