It’s time again for another recap of The Real World D. C. This is the 3rd episode and sorry for the delay but I practically had to hack into MTV to get screengrabs for this.  So here we go.

We were lead to believe by last week’s “next week on” that this week would be all about Emily and Ty, but we were lied to!  In fact this episode is all about self image, specifically female self image issues and dealing with that.  But we’ll have some serious discussion of that a little later on.

If you remember last time we left our Real Worlders Ty and Emily were mid-coitus.  This episode picks up the next morning.  Emily and Ty are messing around on the computer upstairs and Erika, Andrew, and Ashley are in Andrew & Emily’s room.  Andrew says she slept in the room last night.  This leads to awesomeness from Erika:

She must not be one of those girls who likes to cuddle after getting fucked.

Ka-pow!  Ashley says the proof is that she’s happy today.  In the after show we learned Ashley also heard “noises” during the night.  When asked outright this is the faces they make:

Emily and Ashley have a talk where Emily is all like “I don’t want a relationship”.  Emily has crazy issues.  So we move on to Erika, Ashley, and Callie going to lunch together.  They all think they’re fat and gonna gain a ton of weight on the show.  This segues into Emily, Ty, and Mike at the gym.

When they get home Ty and Emily sit outside and Emily talks about having body image issues after Ty compliments her nice abs.

Emily says she hates her legs.  Ty says he sees nothing wrong with them (because he’s a human).  Also Emily calls him her “cuddle buddy”.  Note that whenever either of them use the term “cuddle” it means “fuck”.

For some reason Ty decides to call his ex-girlfriend, who dumped him right before the show cause she knew he’d do something like fuck Emily, and tell her that he did just that.  Obviously she’s upset and also like “why are you calling me and telling me this?”.  Ty also has issues.  His ex hangs up on him.

For some reason a bunch of the house goes boxing.  They only show Emily and Ty though.  This is like foreplay for them as we’ll learn later.

Next we’re treated to a montage of Callie jogging through D. C.  As she runs we get a voiceover about how she was always raised to be healthy and how her mom was a personal trainer and she’s always been touchy about her weight.  After her run she hits the shower.

Josh and Andrew talk about how the girls think the guys can’t see anything through the frosted glass of the shower but that they totally can.  This is cross cut with Callie taking a shower.  They also discuss how Callie might be the hottest girl in the house.  Josh likes that “she’s got some meat on her bones” but they can never tell her that cause girls are “touchy” about that.

There’s more boring Emily and Ty stuff where Ty is being all vulnerable.  Clearly he wants a relationship and Emily never ever under no conditions wants a relationship.

At the club that night Emily starts flirting with a guy that looks oddly similar to Ty

Seriously they both even have almost the same outfit on.  It’s weird.  Ty is off in the corner getting pissed off about this (the flirting, not the strange similarity).  So drunk Ty pulls drunk Emily aside (these two are awesome when they’ve had some drinks) and pours his heart out to her and she’s all like:

Upon arriving home Ty greets Emily with the best line ever:

Hey Emily how were all the black guys in the bar?
