This week's episode of the Real World in Austin continued with the prevailing theme of the hook-up. Minus a few episodes in which the focus was not on the hooking up of the roommates - with each other and others around them - this season has taken a look at the hook-up a great deal. Probably as much as the past season in Las Vegas did, if not more.
This episode began with a fight between Nehemiah and Rachel. These two have fought verbally before, but that previous encounter didn't even hold a candle on this one. Nehemiah got upset with Rachel for making out with one of the doormen at the bar they regularly attend. He didn't want her to ruin the in they all had at the bar by treating him bad.
Somehow this set Rachel off, and she had an extreme outburst of anger. It took Danny and Johanna pulling her away to finally calm her down. Nehemiah sat there laughing the whole time, and this only angered Rachel more. At first, I was shaking my head, upset with Nehemiah for laughing and egging her on. However, the longer the scene went on, the more I could see why he was laughing. She had gotten so angry over what really was a minor incident.
Later in the episode, Rachel even talks to Wes and Johanna about the fight with Nehemiah, and she was even shocked by her outburst. She blames it possibly on her Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a result of her time in Iraq. I honestly feel bad for Rachel in this episode. It seems a lot has effected her in her life, and you have to hope she does resolve the issues she has.
A surprising development involving the hook-up did take place on this week's episode. For weeks, Wes has expressed interest in one of his fellow roommates. All the other roommates make mention of the high amount of sexual tension between these Wes and Johanna. Just a couple of episodes ago, these two were fighting, and out of nowhere on a night out with the boys, Johanna ends up kissing Wes, pulling him away from Nehemiah and Danny, only to go from club to club making out and dancing the night away.
They then return to the house, and Lacey can see the change between these two immediately. Nehemiah does as well when he and Danny return home. Danny is the last to catch on. Nehemiah expresses disgust at the situation, saying he has lost respect for the two because of their little hook-up. Even going so far to say he has lost more respect for Johanna. Of course we know this is all in part to Nehemiah's own minor crush on the roommate. A little jealousy maybe?

I think rachel was being a little emotional freak... she started the whole thing by asking him his opinion on the subject which opened the door and then she was the first to use the word slut (she called him that). SHes is the one with a boyfriend/fiance and who keeps making out with different men when she goes out.

I want to say thank you to holla for that link to the site for Danny. That was awesome. I thought this week's episode was pretty good. I thought it was sweet that Danny took Rachel for a walk to talk about Iraq and stuff. He is a good guy.

I think Wes is a f*cking idiot.
He obsesses over Johanna, spends like all of his time not sleeping thinking of ways to get with her, and hatches stupid plots to try and get her to notice him. THEN he meets Wren, who is NOT CUTE, and starts spouting sh*t off to her like he's in love, CLEARLY making her uncomfortable, and he DOESN'T PICK UP ON IT.
The chick effing HUNG UP ON HIM, and he CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY.
IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S NOT INTERESTED IN YOU, YOU F*CKTARD, JUST LIKE JOHANNA.
Do you see Jo bringing random guys home just to make Wes jealous? NO. Do you see Jo ever go into Wes' room to talk to his ear off? NO. Are HER confessionals always complaining how Wes doesn't notice her enough?
NOPE, because she's NOT INTERESTED. He has no idea, but she just TOLERATES him. She even says "I enjoy his company." That is NOT the way a girl talks about someone she's got the hots for.
Wes is such an idiot and all the signs are there; he's too stupid to pick up on them!
...and um...it makes me a little angry.
...
...that's pretty much it.

who the fuck do you think that you are? I was just agreeing with him, do you really think that I use that word in every day conversation? Uhh..no. i was just expressing my agreement with him. A copy kat, I do not think so. I write what I want when I want to and you can just fuck off! But no one would wnat to fuck you. Why should I grow up when I am only seven years old? Do you really want another person like Michael Jackson running around. I am going to be a kid for a while so don't tell me to grow up because you do not know shit bitch.And by the way I think that fucktard is a cool word so now I am going to use it all of the fucking time just to spite you.

ooohh... im scared of a seven year old.. isnt it past your bed time, little kid...??
LOL!!! ps. if your suicidal at 7 theres somethin wrong!! tell mommy, maybe shell understand..
10 - holla
my mommy is the reason why i am suicidal. I am going to a phychiatrist, however you spell it. My father was murdered when I was four, maybe that is why I am so insane. I don't have a bed time. And you should be scared of me. Anyone retarded enough to pick a fight with a 7 year old must have shit for brains. So I will beat your shitty friends. Why are you even picking on me. What did I ever do to you. Fucktard?Screw you bitch. Hollas worst nightmare is a douche.
