The Real World DC Ratings

So far, I think The Real World: DC episodes have been doing fairly well, ratings wise. Here are episodes 2-4.

• Episode 2- 2.02 million viewers

• Episode 3- 1.84 million viewers

• Episode 4- 1.79 million viewers

I'm not sure of the Real World: Cancun ratings, but I'm pretty sure this season has picked up from the last one.

The Real World DC: Playboys and Proper Portions

Andrew, Erika, and Ashley are all in a room discussing Ty and Emily's love life and Ashley interjects saying they slept together. Erika and Andrew decide to confront them to find the truth and Ty and Emily get all giggly and shady about it. (...they fucked!) Later on, Emily is telling Ashley how she feels and Ashley says she thinks they will be boyfriend/girlfriend by the end of this and she wants to see "little black-white babies." (SMH oh my god)

The girls, minus Emily (she's giving Ty some at the moment), go out to lunch and the topic of weight comes up. While Ashley runs her mouth about how she thinks she's gonna gain weight, Callie tells them she's always been the bigger girl and she can gain weight easily. How appropriate, we cut from the fatties to the athletes where we see Ty, Emily, and Mike in a gym working out.

Back home, Ty tells Ashley that he is upset his girlfriend broke up with him right before he got here and that fooling around with Emily just made it worst. So he calls Lauren, his girlfriend, and tells her he had sex with a roommate. He asks her for a response and she says "I don't want you."(REALLY? I thought she was going to take him back after he said that!)

Callie goes running, near the White House, and she gets home and tells them she got lost and had to run an extra 3 miles. Emily notices how Callie is always caring about her image. Outside, Andrew and Josh (0h, so he's still alive?) talk about how they are able to look through the shower glasses while the women are showering. They add at how much they both love Callie's body.

The crew goes out to a club and Emily gets her flirt on with another guy. Ty gets a little jealous and goes to Emily and tells her he is willing to pursue "it". Ty really wants to have a relationship with Emily except she keeps wanting it to not go further than what it is. When they get home, Ty and Emily fight about how Emily loves to dance with other guys but this quickly turns into a playful fight on the floor. That is...until Emily spits in his face. Josh and Mike quickly intervene to make sure nothing crazy happens.

The next day, the topic of playboy comes up with a couple of the girls, and Callie says she has the right hair color but Ty says she's not skinny enough (oh lord, here we go). Callie goes outside, gets teary eyed, and then all of the girls try to comfort here. Ty comes out and Callie tells him he hurt her (hmmm...that's 2 girls that don't like him). Ty tells her he was just being honest and she gets up and leaves. Emily tells him he needs to apologize.

So Ty goes to see Callie and they both feel like they're on good terms now. The next day, Callie, Erika, and Ashley go out to lunch and Callie says her mom was always worried about weight. She goes home and calls her mom and starts crying about her weight (and you were worried BEFORE about embarrassing yourself).

The Real World DC: Bipartisan Lovin

If you had to pick one roommate to give you a rundown on the 7 other roommates in the house, who would you choose? Well Episode 2 choose Ashley, and she tells her mom all about the people she will be living with while the rest of the cast has playful fun. Andrew and Callie share each others passions (photography and cartoons) and Andrew says he likes her (I have to agree, Callie is getting hotter and hotter each time I see her).

So Emily opens up to Ashley about her life with religion and surprisingly, Ashley sits there and listens instead of running her mouth like you would think. Later at night, the crew hits up a club, and there's a clear divide in the house based on attraction, there's Andrew and Callie who sorta like each other, Mike and Ashley who flirt...a lot, Emily and Ty, and you might say Josh and Erika. So while dancing, Mike and Ashley start making out, and the cast goes crazy with excitement (let's just pretend they're 5th graders who've never seen a kiss before). And of course, Emily has to copy and kiss Ty. But things don't go so well when Ty sees Emily grinding with other men, so Ty tries to outdo her by getting a lapdance. That just pisses her off (duh!).

The next day, the cast is invited to a block party which eventually leads the cast onto a boat to watch some 4th of July fireworks. Andrew tells Callie that he had a girlfriend but she cheated on him. Callie tries to cheer him up but he seems a little disappointed that she isn't showing romantic interest in him (Someone's a TAD bit desperate).

At night, the group decides to go to a gay bar. Andrew gets a little make-up makeover by Ashley but lets his secret lover Callie wash it off. At the GAY CLUB (emphasis on the GAY), Mike is the only guy that is extremely nervous and he ends up dancing with Ashley (ummm...she's a girl). When he does start dancing with a guy, Ashley looks lost. He ends up taking the guy home and they hook up...or something.

Andrew continues to stalk Callie practically asking her to come fall asleep with him. When Callie declines, Andrew says they're done. The next morning, Mike goes out to interview for a summer internship at HRC which is a Human Rights organization. He opens up about his differences and says he hopes everything works out. The boys in the house decide to have a guys night out. Andrew meets a girl and brings her home and rubs it in Callie's face. In Callie's defense, the girl looks 40.

The girls try to spy on Andrew and his girl while they're in bed, until the girl tells the female roommates to go to bed (WTF????). In the morning, Andrew is pissed at the women for how they acted and they end up calling that girl (she had already left at this point) a bitch which causes him to freak.

Emily's sister Amy stops by and Emily somewhat tells her she's bisexual. Later on, Emily gets an email from Amy saying that she thinks Emily is gonna break up the family and Emily is severely hurt by this. But Ty makes it all better (*wink wink*).

The Ruins- The Road to Ruins: Episode 3

So today's episode starts off with Evan loathing Veronica on a boat. And yeah, and then Tonya acting like a psycho on the boat by climbing the mass. Back home Veronica starts telling Evan she's nervous because she hasn't done a challenge in a while but Evan says he'll protect her. Then in another room Adam and Brad start saying the need to go into The Ruins and start taking out Champions.

So for, what is it, the third episode in a row, Wes has a meeting with his team telling them he wants to work things out, he wants to change, and, oh yeah, he's going to donate his winnings to... charity?!

So challenge time comes and the Challengers immediately agree Danny, Adam and Brad will go in after they volunteer. Brianna volunteers herself but Casey is a little adamant when they say her name. But after a vote, she is voted in along with Kim who volunteered.

The Champions choose Kenny, Evan, and Syrus. They have a problem with the women too when Ibis and Susie volunteer but Veronica and Tonya resist. Johnny says that Veronica is shady and I quote,

"Instead of going to work to get the raise, she says why not just f*** the boss and I'll get it that way." (LOL)

But the majority ends up voting Veronica in anyways.

The challenge is called Repo Race. The object is to get all of your teammates over a what looks to me like an extremely easy obstacle course with out touching the sand. What you do is line up on the ground so your teams runner (Champs- Derrick, Challengers- Cohutta) can walk on you and then the back of the bridge comes to the front (god, why isn't Big Easy on this challenge?).

So they start and Cohutta touches the sand sending the challengers back to the start and giving the Champions a lead. Throughout the rest of the race the teams are tied. Towards the end, the runners had to grab a bag and this caused confusion with Derrick. Then as he was running he hit the sand and had to go back. The Challengers were very calm at this point and Cohutta ended up running past the finish line first. You know what that means, don't you? I know, THE APOCALYPSE! Ok, not that, but yes, the Challengers won!

So the Challengers go back home with their six nominees and deliberate as to who should go in. They decide to do secret ballots (dumb idea IMO). Brianna ends up getting 5 votes and Adam gets 3. And they have no objection (Why the hell would you not vote Casey?). Adam easily picks Syrus to go against because he's friends with Kenny and Evan. Brianna picks Susie and Kim questions her and she still wants it.

So in the ruins, they are playing a game called "Burnout" where they stand on a platform holding a wheel, trying to maneuver shooting water to put out their opponents fire. The girls go first, and Bri is doing a hell of a job. That is until Susie sadly wins. And Brianna goes home.

Then comes Syrus and Adam. Adam starts off really good and Syrus is getting nervous. Adam gave it all he could but Syrus ended up winning sending Adam home and taking his money. Now there is only 8 challengers left :(
