Ashley and Emily talk more about this outside.  Then Emily talks with Mike inside.  Then everyone is talking inside and Mike is talking about how he doesn’t like what kind of person Ashley is and then she walks in so everyone shuts up and it’s awkward.

The next day under Callie’s supervision, Andrew e-mails Alli to ask her on a lunch date.  She agrees and they go for a picnic.

He makes a joke about being in love with her.  She actually goes:

Uh….Awkward

Then she says she has to go back to work and leaves.  But that night she’s coming over again!

Andrew is very excited.  Until she arrives…

…with her cousin.  Awkward.  He tries to proceed with his plans anyway.  He shows them some of his drawing skills.  Josh tells us what’s going on in the confessional.

Andrew has this art trap supposedly.  That every girl loves an artistic man and as an artist myself I know there’s just something there that attracts a woman.

It works!

A little later and Emily has sacrificed her bed to sleep in the bean bags.  I don’t know why she’s not in Ty’s bed.  And Alli’s cousin is still there and sleeps on the couch?

But Alli doesn’t want to do anything still.  I’m just as confused as Andrew.  Why is she there and sleeping in his bed with her cousin upstairs (?) and they’re not doing anything.  Not even fooling around.  Just sleeping.  That’s all she wants.  This is crazy.  Why didn’t she just go home with her cousin?  Why didn’t her cousin go home at all?

As a country why can’t we come up with something better than spooning?

Andrew asks the tough questions.

Andrew is totally bummed and sleepy.  He says he didn’t sleep at all because he was awake with a boner.  Emily asks if he hid it and he’s all like “no I just kept poking her with it”.  Eww.

That night they all go out and like all good Real Worlders get wasted.  Apparently though some girl takes a picture of drunk Andrew and this makes Ashley angry.  I have no idea why this would make her angry but it does.  Mike is still not too happy with her so on the walk back to the house as she keeps going he’s finally like:

Stop being a bitch!

Best. Reaction. Ever.

This occurs right outside the house so Erika pushes them inside to continue the argument off the street.  Good thinking Erika.  A big argument ensues.

You are just a big bitch.  I can’t even think of a good word for you better than that. — Mike

Outside Ty is actually a voice of reason.

He explains that essentially the two of them are different because Mike is from a small town and he’s used to being able to go up to people and talk to them on the street and everyone is friendly, but Ashley and Ty being big city people would never talk to a stranger on the street and they hold themselves differently.  I think this actually sums up the frustrations between the two rather well.  Good job Ty.

The next day Andrew calls Alli who says she can’t talk to him because she’s writing him an e-mail.  That’s not a good sign.  She says he should read his email.  So he does and obviously she dumps him.  Via email.

After he reads it and walks away the girls of course read it.  Then go down to where Andrew is now dead.

They think it’s sort of funny.  The dumping was harsh but they think Andrew is just more upset that that’s a chance to have sex he’s once again missed.

Back to Mike and Ashley.  Ashley is upset because she really wanted to be close with him.  There’s more yelling.  All from Ashley.  Mike can’t apologize cause she was being kinda bitchy.  Then she cries and Mike says he wants to be friends and be close and they wind up making up.

Now the episode is over and Mike and Ashley are friends again.  All is right in the world.

Next On: Josh might be cheating on his girlfriend and Erika plays a show with a band.  I’ve been dying to see more of Erika on this show so I hope there’s a lot of her and MTV isn’t just leading me on.
