The focus of this thrilling(?) episode of the Real World DC revolves around Ty and Emily’s stunning sexual tension. Ty is a moderately attractive guy, and Emily is an unattractive girl who thinks that she’s a total daredevil because she punches guys who can’t hit her back because she’s a girl.
23 seasons of this crap, people. THIS IS YOUR DOING.
Ty is extremely self-righteous, but on the other hand, Emily spits on him and then says it was “not a sign of disrespect”. Uhhh… is that like how Hitler really loves Jews? On the other hand, Ty clearly has NO self respect because he follows Emily around like a needy little puppy, even though Emily is not that hot. C’mon, Ty. Then the rest of the house doesn’t help by telling Emily how badly she “broke his heart”. Jesus Christ people, let’s inflate her ego just a little more so that the house lifts off the ground and we can pretend we’re watching Up instead.

"What the hell is this shit?"
Then of course, Emily wants to discuss it more in the morning. It’s like she’s an attention whore or something, but she’s way too much of a tomboy for that!
Sadly the conversation moves to Callie and how Ty doesn’t think that she’s skinny enough to be a Playboy bunny. That’s a pretty bitchy thing to say, but my sympathy is limited since the next 20 minutes are Callie saying “Oh I’m so hurt; I won’t tell you what he said.” Callie, if you were bigger than a size 2 MTV would never let you on the show. Problem solved.
It’s Erika to the rescue! She and her purple hair tell off Ty for causing the epidemic of anorexia and beautification in young girls. Ty actually gives Callie a pretty nice apology and tells her that he just feels the need to cut his friends back down to size sometimes. If only he’d do that to Emily.

"My hair dye to the rescue!"
Sadly, the girls just rip him to shreds for being insecure. Oookay. Then they go back to the fascinating weight issue. Thank god that’s never been covered on reality TV before.
Then it’s off to “life celebrating” yoga! And the yoga teacher who tells them that their body will never ever fail them – tell that to my broken tailbone. Of course, the tribal drums lead to a huge body breakthrough for Callie, who loves herself and her positive body image and yadda yadda yadda. In addition, if I never heard the phrase “shake what your momma gave you” again, I could die happy.
