The Real World: Las Vegas just gets more and more interesting. I’m thinking seriously about keeping up with it until the end of the season. I’m not a big fan of reality shows but we’ll see. This week’s episode featured two major events: an STD/pregnancy scare and a girl-on-girl hookup/make-out session. I’m really glad about the way the STD issue played out.
For those of you who don’t watch, two of the cast members — Leroy and Naomi — are friends with benefits. Concerns were voiced about the probability of Naomi having an STD and being pregnant. She was scared, he was scared. They both regretted having unprotected sex. Leroy was a bit childish at first, concentrating on making it known that Naomi was the first girl he’d ever had sex with without protection. They were both pissed; him for being less responsible about his sexual health since he’d been on the show; her because Leroy wasn’t being supportive. Long story short, she made an appointment at a women’s clinic, got tested, the results came out and she tested negative on everything.
The part I was really glad about came at the end of everything. She told him she was baby and STD free, he insisted on getting tested even though she’d been declared ‘clean’. And then they both made comments about how important it was to always use protection and how they’d never be that careless about it ever again. Simple and open; no immature circumvention of the issue. Leroy also mentioned that if he’d found out that he might have an STD, he would have called all of his former sexual partners to warn them. You go Leroy! You’ve earned a gold star in my book.
On to the next.
Last week, during the montage advertising the next week’s episode, there was a clip featuring Nany and Heather in some serious lip-lockage. My first thought was that it was just another stunt to get higher ratings but I had to get my facts straight first. The memory of Natalie Portman’s comment about her sex scene with Mila Kunis is still very fresh in my memory. Actually, I feel like that was never properly addressed. In Portman’s opinion, the best way to get guys to see a ‘girly’ movie like Black Swan is to insert a girl-on-girl sex scene – every man’s fantasy yeah? Forget the mental rollercoaster and the creative genius behind the illusion-fueled plot; it’s all about two females getting ‘nekkid.' Here are her exact words:
I’m surprised GLAAD didn’t get on her case."Everyone was so worried about who was going to want to see this movie. I remember them being like, 'How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller? The answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that."
After the whole FratPad, gay porn thing in the last episode, everyone has pretty much moved on. Things are kinda normal, except between Dustin and Heather. They break up because she can’t handle the heat, but Dustin still harbors hope that they will eventually get back together after it all blows over. Dustin’s brothers and friends come to see him. They’re all very supportive and encouraging; it’s really cute. He shows them pictures of him on the internet and they all laugh about it all.
And then came the highlight of the episode. The girls have a nice night in the Jacuzzi with lots of alcohol and clowning around. It starts to build up, starting with Nany doing shots(?) off Heather’s tummy and then kissing her. And then there’s some serious making out going on. It was kinda funny to see all the guys gawking. It seemed a lot like they hooked up; Heather implied as much to Dustin a few hours later after she became sober and the regret kicked in. Meanwhile, Nany laughed with the others and asked them not to judge her as the dudes made comments like:
I found the comment about non-judgment really interesting since last week he’d had some pretty interesting things to say to and about Dustin. A dude had sex or whatever with other dudes in the past and it’s gross, but two female cast members make out/have sex and it’s so goshdarn awesome. Double standard much? Even Cooke had something to say about it, voicing her opinions to Mike about how hypocritical it was for Heather to reject Dustin for having sex(?) with a guy, and then doing the exact same. Dustin for one, was ecstatic that Heather had hooked up with Nany because it now made her the same as him, especially since she’d expressed shame and regret over it all.“This is the hottest thing I have ever seen. Ever...That was hot! I’m serious! I’m not judging you” - Mike
Hilarious! I love it!“We’re in the same boat together and we’re riding on the sea”
He was really nice though, telling her that everybody does things they’re not exactly proud of at sometime in their life. Let’s hope she understands him a bit better after this.
Admittedly at first when I saw the whole Heather+Nany make-out/sex thing I was like “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Using homoerotica to push ratings now are we MTV?” and “I wish the world would make up their minds about whether same-sex encounters are hot or not without pandering to one kind”. While I’m still on the fence about the whole ratings thing (after all this is MTV we’re talking about. They’re ratings whores!), I’m excited to see where all this goes. How will Nany feel about Heather’s shame? What’s the next step for Dustin and Heather?
