Can someone explain to me why Emilee misses Joey and thinks he was all about growing as a person? It seems tremendously disloyal to Ayiiia.

Also, I can't believe he's coming back next episode.

I'd like to take this moment to discuss how much I hate Jonna. She is the absolute worst. She is obssessed with attention. And even worse, she's obsessed with MALE attention. Even when she had a boyfriend and wasn't planning on rudely breaking up with him, she would sit on her guy roommate's laps and cuddle them and run her fingers along their arms, etc. UNNECESSARY.

Then, she breaks girl-code by going after Jasmine's crush WHILE having a boyfriend that she swears she's in love with...and then doesn't even have the decency to be honest with Jasmine about it. She just kinda ignores her actions and hopes everyone else will, too. Then, she even admits that if she were Jasmine she would be upset at her! I mean, worst.girl.friend.ever. Of course after all this the guy who she "stole" from Jasmine and broke up with her BF over then left Cancun and was like "kthxbye."

Now, she continues to be obsessed with male attention to the detriment of her relationships with her female roommates and has NO IDEA what they are talking about when they say she needs to lay off all the boy-craziness for a second. She's all "this is why I'm not friends with girls."

UGH! You're not friends with girls because you dont RESPECT your relationships with women. You will flirt with their men and drop them in a second to hang out with some dude you just met. It's insanity. But then I realize she's 20 and might grow out of it. Please, do. Please, do.

@JinxyMcDeath: Exactly! You treat your female friends like you can't wait to get away from them, and you don't respect their relationships/crushes? That's how you self-fulfill a prophecy.

When Bronnie talked to Emily the first time around, I was expecting him to flip, instead he seemed genuinly upset and came off as trying to make her understand how the act hurt him. I was really impressed with him since hes the last person I would have expected a "mature" (loosely) from.

but then he went and talked to dudes who provoked him to come back and throw out Hitler comparisons. which was lame, and props to Emily for not laughing at him for trivilizing faschism and comparing death camps to shirly templing a zombie magazine.

It was pretty weird that Bronne left, which really should have given him time to cool down, and then went back again several minutes later with renewed rage and randomly flipped out on the girls. His big speech about Hitler was embarrassing to watch, it just showed a huge lack of self-awareness and a huge amount of self-importance... I was cringing as he went on and on about it. He came off as a massive douchebag.

If I were Emilee though, it would have been the Maxim that got trampled, and the Zombie that got read.

The way that Bronne talks reminds me of a line from the theme song to a beloved 90's public television program that my brother and I, to this day, still lovingly mock.

"He's a ghost. And he writes to us! Ghostwriter."

Ok, now that I am aware that zombie magazines exist, I will buy them, and probably flip the shit out of anyone who is so foolhardy as to tapdance on them. The fox trot, however, is perfectly acceptable.

This is totally something I would probably have done during a drunken night in college, maybe even high school. I think 'tap-dance' is a little generous, though, at least she wasn't wearing shoes

@golublog: negative. I was talking about doing a drunken jig all over something I deemed incredibly stupid, such as the ill-fated zombie mag

Good Lord, Bronnie is the unfunniest try-hard in RW history. He's like a shell of Dane Cook.

@velvet.fistfull of love: Yeah, I see the Isaac connection, but like you said, Isaac was genuinely funny and loveable whereas Bronne looks exhausting to be around and not in a good way.

1. Jonna and Pat are so obsessed with Jasmine it's pathetic. It's like neither of them can conceive of a world where they are not the center of attention, and it makes them uncomfortable to see Jasmine moving on. I never got the impression that she was with JR to make him jealous, rather that she was so desperate to move on from Pat that she went for the first guy who showed any interest. Also, how ironic was it when Jonna was accusing Jasmine of needing to be the center of attention? Cuz, yeah, Jonna, you handle being on the sidelines so well.
2. JR did kinda set off my gaydar, too, but I was willing to let it go after he and Jasmine had sex.
3. Pat set off my gaydar more than JR and I guess I'm wrong about him too. Conclusion: gaydar is not foolproof.

I stopped watching a few weeks ago when they were discussing that annoying girl Aliyah or whatever habit to cut herself. It bothered me immensely, as it seemed that no one really cared, and then the producers kicked off that lame pop punk dude for missing a shift but not basically antagonizing someone into self harm. And the fact that I couldnt try out for this show anymore cause im too old bugs the shit out of me. Where's Pam, Judd, Irene, any of them? Thats what this show needs again.

Oh, am I the only one who didn't think she went out with JR for revenge? I kind of thought she was actually digging him.

@lovecake: No i thought so too, even if it started out the dishonorable way. She seems like she's kinda desperate enough to like anyone who is mildly attractive and straight right now.

@lovecake: Yeah me too. I think the "revenge" thing was mostly wishful thinking on part of Pat (who doesn't like that she's not into him anymore) and Jonna (who doesn't like that she's not able to get under Jasmine's skin as much anymore).

In the last clip of Jasmine that I saw, she was drinking pretty heavily. Maybe it's clouding her judgment. I know it has mine, on occasion.

Jonna breaking up with her boyfriend over the phone was painful. I'm always baffled by Real Worlders who can't take a long distance relationship for three months. I mean, really?
GOD I'm too old to watch this stupid fucking show.
