As the episode begins, things are looking down all around for the cast students. Andrea’s bitching to her ex-boyfriend Josh about her life, but is upset that he has the audacity to comment. Jordan might not get his sleeve tattoo finished because his family hates him now. Kevin is trying to guilt his roommate into taking the fall for partying in the room, because he’s been dumb enough to get caught twice already. And Lindsay’s happy about a fairly unattractive guy named Max, which can never be a good thing.
Andrea and her roommate Erica continue to passive-aggressively bitch at each other throughout the episode (nasty words exchanged off camera of course), true to form of girlfights everywhere. Instead of talking about it rationally so they can live together without sniping at each other, they insist on bitching at each other 24/7 to the vast entertainment of anyone who walks through the room. Maria and I are still confused as to why Erica cares so much about Andrea’s relationships drama… probably because she is too ugly and abrasive to have any of her own. While Andrea’s extremely full of herself, Erica seems to be fashioning herself into the college version of Lauren Conrad, butting into everyone’s love lives. Who knows, maybe Erica will have a new show by next season… called The Dorm.
Lindsay starts to be worried that Max isn’t all that into her, so she harasses his roommate about whether Max really likes her or he really really likes her. Instead of continuing on her good girl theme, Lindsay decides that the best way to get Max to declare them facebook official is to… get in the shower with him? Good plan, Captain Insecure! Word to the wise: Calling a guy over and over again when he hangs up on you is not Romeo-recommended to win hearts. Someone should give them Speidi’s relationship counselor’s number…
Jordan is pretty much ignored in this episode because MTV has realized that much like Baya on Real World: Brooklyn, Jordan is terminally boring. Unfortunately being mixed race and… Wait! It’s election day! Never mind, time to capitalize on Jordan being black.
Kevin predictably, like 80% of all minus-90 IQ frat guys, is all for McCain because… uh… well, anyway, he thinks McCain would do a better job. Jordan’s reasoning is way better in that he’s supporting Obama because the future President is half-black, just like him!
Kevin finds out fo sho that he’s kicked out of the res halls, which he says is a “reality check”. What he actually means by this is that he’s now gonna need a check from his mommy to pay for the apartment he’s going to rent with 3 other fraggots who think playing beer pong is the most epic thing since keg stands.

“Jordan is pretty much ignored in this episode because MTV has realized that much like Baya on Real World: Brooklyn, Jordan is terminally boring. Unfortunately being mixed race and… Wait! It’s election day! Never mind, time to capitalize on Jordan being black.”
and capitalize they did… for 2.5 seconds. something that somewhat bugged me about it is that he didn’t have a single intelligent thing to say about Obama and seem COMPLETELY unmoved by his win. i was crying my eyes out and Jordan is just picking his (half-black) ass.

That is HILARIOUS if it’s true. But how do you know?
