The Real World DC: Looks Can Be D.C.-ving

So the first episode of a new seasons starts with us meeting the cast. We first meet Ashley who wants to band Obama and Mike who lives with mommy and daddy. They are both riding in the van together and Ashley has never been to DC before so of course she starts acting like an annoying little sister. They both think (CASUALLY) that one another is cute.

We then meet Andrew who is extremely desperate to get laid and Emily who is very emotional because of her past experiences with religion. Andrew is absolutely stunned when he saw her and acted like a complete nerd upon meeting her.

Callie is the next new roommate who cannot wait to live the city life coming from a small town and Ty is an intelligent man who wants to experience everything he can in life.

Erika is the rocker girl who has a rocker boyfriend to match and she says she wants to get down on her music career. Josh is another musician with a girlfriend and discusses his troubled past and how he's changed. They meet and although they don't say it, it was love at first sight!

So in the car, Andrew starts lying to Emily saying he's a professional cage fighter. He really wants some! Mike and Emily discuss each others religion and they find out they both go to church each Sunday and plan on going during their stay. They are the first to enter the house and go find rooms which are all "president themed" (one room is decorated Lincoln, another Kennedy, etc.).

Callie shows up and Ashley and Mike let her in with open arms (before tricking her into thinking she showed up at the wrong place). Callie ends up choosing the Reagan bedroom, much to Ashley's dismay. Andrew and Emily show up thinking they're the first ones in the house until they see the others. Andrew makes Emily his roommate in hopes that they'll...have sex (ewww). So they go out into the music room with the rest of the cast and Andrew starts bullshitting again saying he took 7 years of piano lessons and he's a photography major (dude, for trying to get laid by chicks, you're making yourself sound awfully gay lol). He gets away with most of it except when they catch him while asking if he's a virgin.

Ty comes in and is warmly greeted by everyone as the "Big, Black Guy". Josh and Erika come in and Andrew is a little nervous about Josh because he thinks he is cooler than him.

So at dinner, the topic comes up about how many people each roommate has slept with. Ty says 45, Josh says around 30, and then Mike drops the bomb when he says 15 girls and 5 guys. And then they ask him if he's bisexual and he says yes but doesn't want it to be a big deal. Mike says that his church is somewhat accepting and then Ty interjects saying to him, "God doesn't exist man." Ashley is offended by the discussion of religion and tries to calm Ty and Mike down.

So Callie and Erika are nervous about their roommates and want to room together and switch rooms. So they do it without Ty's permission. Mike goes to Ty's room and tells him he doesn't want to have tension the whole time and they both decide they will be more open-minded about each other. Ashley comes in and Ty and her find out they are clashing way too much and they can't get along. She leaves the room and says that's one person she WON'T get along with.
