Real World/Road Rules Challenges are like potato chips — once you start, you can’t get enough. Which is why I’ll be sifting through the ‘Challenge Dailies‘ each afternoon to make sure you’re getting your fill of the crazy castaways. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)
It's no secret that our Islanders are somewhat lacking in the personal hygiene department. And while we always thought of cleanliness as black-and-white (i.e. you're either clean, or you're not) it turns out there are many, many gradations of smelly. At least, according to Kenny, who says his no-shower policy has to do with that "intentionally rustic" look he's been cultivating, as opposed to, say, Cohutta who just "naturally looks like a dirty guy."
Can you say 'huh'? Cuz that's all I've been thinking ever since Kenny spilled some serious beans to us about fellow Islander, KellyAnne. According to the King of the Jungle, KellyAnne is no sweetie pie -- apparently she toyed with Cohutta's heart and made a beeline for Johnny as soon as the coast was clear (of Cohutta, that is).
Johnny? Really? The guy who's been slinging insults left and right at KellyAnne ever since the show started? Hard to believe, but Kenny stands by his story...

When you're trapped on a desert island with no tv, radio, iPod, internet or Blackberry service, you're pretty much forced to provide your own entertainment. Which may or not explain how Cohutta and KellyAnne (the odd sort-of couple from Real World: Sydney!) ended up in a mostly one-sided discussion about which of their fellow challengers they'd like to see naked. It's worth watching both for Cohutta's general state of awkwardness and the part where KellyAnne (aptly) describes Jen as "an easy bet."
After returning from Cairns, everyone is anxious to meet their new roommate. Ashli is from Huntington Beach, California is 19-years-old and currently unattached. The very attractive new roomie strolls into the house and quickly introduces herself to everyone with a huge smile on her face. (So far so good right?) Read more...
Tonight there were two major events that need to be discussed!!
"Big shoes and Big bras to fill"
Shauvon finally makes the decision to go back to California to be with David. The final straw being when David flipped out that Shauvon was even considering going on the "business trip" to Cairns. Shauvon was pressured to make a decision and ultimately decided that she needed to be with a man who will not let her be who she wants to be or let her experience what she wants to experience. It seems like almost everyone in the house is totally understanding of Shauvon's decision, but Parisa -- in true New York City fashion -- seems to be judging her actions saying that it is "unfortunate for the quality of her relationship with Shauvon." Honestly, Parisa why don't you just say that you think it's ridiculous that she would let a man run her life!... Read more...
Thank goodness!! It's really starting to heat up. And, if I'm honest, for the first time this season I truly CANNOT WAIT until next weeks episode. I think I'm getting a little too excited but for this week I have to just point out the most amazing parts of the episode.
-- Drunken Argument #1: Parisa has definitely taken on the role of "Den Mother." She takes care of the drunkards, is constantly cooking for her little roomies and even thinks she's supposed to help Trisha get ready for the beach by tying her bathing-suit. One would think that this would be a fabulous characteristic to have in a roommate -- apparently Shavoun thinks otherwise... Read more...
"Next time you come in this house, you better wear a helmet."
Cohutta and KellyAnne are starting to get A LOT closer -- first with a drunken confession of interest and then when KellyAnne finds out that her "ex"-boyfriend has been hugging and making out with a girl at a bar back home. Later Cohutta fights with some random guy at the bar who was hitting on KellyAnne. "Every girl loves it when two guys fight over her," he tells his drunken roommate and "I will ride in on a white horse to fight over you." How adorable! No other real developments with these two because tonight was all about the new love triangle....

I can sum this week up into three "major" events.
First off, Dunbar is starting to turn into the biggest a-hole of the bunch. He seems to be so extremely stressed about... well nothing. He jumps on anything that anyone says. Think about the kid in school who just argued for the sake of arguing, not because he had any real opinion about anything he was commenting on. Which can be fine for a few minutes, but when you cross the line of arguing about religion and basing your arguments on a 10 page paper you wrote in college -- there's a definite problem.
