Real World Atlanta: Episode 8

Previously on The REAL WORLD…
Abby and Jimmy go out to dinner with Vlad and Carly. Abby doesn’t let Carly get too close to Vlad, constantly interrupting their conversation. Once home they head to the porch for a smoke and a drink. Cailie comes out, looking very nice in a skirt with neatly styled hair and a nice, low cut top and revealing bra. The heels she was wearing showed off her legs which go ALL the way to the floor. Vlad couldn’t help but notice. The crew of five decides to hit up the hot tub and Carly kisses Vlad, in front of Cailie. The crew gets into the hot tub and Carly is taking forever to come out of the bedroom. Vlad can’t help but kiss Cailie in the tub. When Carly tries to sit in between, Vlad pushes her away.
In the hot tub Jimmy and Abby are watching Cailie and Vlad make out. Jimmy and Abby sneak off. At the compound, Kevin and Carly are dancing. A guy tries to dance with Carly, but she says she is with Kevin. She starts to grind on Kevin.

This is the TRUE STORY, of Seven strangers (you’re a rapper?), picked to live in a house (ATL BABY!), and have their lives taped (get the F*** out my face!) to find out what happens when people stop being polite (say it again, I DARE YOU!) and start being real. The Real World: Atlanta!

The morning after the big night of hookups finds Abby and Dani cooking eggs and talking. Abby is wearing just boyshorts and an apron, revealing quite a bit.
“So have you had a good time since you’ve been here?” Dani asks.
“Yeah, it’s been a blast. I miss Jimmy, but I know he is having a once-in-a-lifetime experience here. I’m happy for him.”
“Is this how you normally cook breakfast?” Dani asks after checking out Abby.
“No. Normally I don’t wear the boyshorts, but James told me to cover up from your wandering eyes,” Abby says then slides around to come face to face with Dani. “But that was back when you were a lesbian. Now you are straight? Is that right?” Abby asks.
“I don’t like to define myself with labels,” Dani trots out her old line.
“Whatever. I think you should just pick one. You are just screwing yourself up. And hurting the people you are in a relationship with too. How is Todd going to feel when you guys break up and you go back to chicks? Or how does your ex feel now that you are on to men?” With this Dani turns on the blender and decides to ignore Abby. A sly smirk appears on Abby’s face.
In confessional, Abby, still in her apron and Jimmy talk about Dani. “I don’t have a problem with lesbians. I like them. But make up your mind, you know?” Abby states point blank.
“The homewrecker just wanted to explore her options. Do you really think she’d have gone after Todd if he didn’t have a girlfriend?” Jimmy asks. “She is seeking drama. Drama-seeker. Drama drama drama.”
“Oh, so kind of like you!” Abby playfully hits Jimmy.
“When the Puppetmaster goes about his business, it is under the radar. She craves the spotlight.”
Dani enters Todd’s room and plops down on the bed. Todd throws on a Mariners hat and sits up. “I am really starting to not like Abby,” Dani admits.
“What did she do?” Todd grumbles.
“Questioning my sexuality. Wondering aloud if I am a lesbian or not. Just pissing me off,” Dani lets loose.
“Just ignore her. She is leaving soon,” Todd says as he turns over. Dani puts a protein shake under his nose to try and entice him to get up. “No working out today. I have to work on the show.”
“No, the other roommates have to do that. Remember?” Dani reminds him.
“Crap. That was going to be my excuse. Curses!” Todd shakes his fist at the sky.
“I tell you though, if Abby says something else to me, I’ll curse her!”
A shot of Jimmy spanking Abby in the kitchen is shown.

Carly, Cailie and Vlad are trying to come up with two characters for the Tyler Perry show while eating at F2O. “WHATEVER! I don’t care!” Carly shouts as she throws her hands up. Several people shoot her a glance. Cailie tries to calm her down. Vlad could care less. “Carly, you cannot be that loud. I don’t like doing this either, but we have to do it,” Cailie whispers.
“F-This. Fine. A white woman that moves into the old woman’s neighborhood and joins the church, maybe as the Sunday school teacher. I can write her,” Carly unloads.
“That is good. I like that. Maybe she isn’t new, just the Sunday school teacher?” Cailie offers.
“WHO CARES CAI. New, old, whatever. Let’s go with it,” Carly says.
“How about the granddaughter of one of the other characters that has taken a job as a nurse of one of the other characters. She has to be with her at all times, including at the church and at the bingo halls?” Vlad throws out. “You can write for a young girl 22 years old right? Vlad is laying the sarcasm on thick.
“Yes Vlad. I can do that,” Carly snaps. “Are we done here? I’m going to go and make an outline of the white teacher. Can you two keep your hands off one another to do the outline of the young nurse?”
“I think we can,” an embarrassed Cailie answers meekly, without looking at Carly.
“Good. See you two at home.” Carly picks up and leaves. Kevin is walking by and sees Carly and he runs to catch up.
“Hey Car, wait up!” Kevin shouts.
“What, are you stalking me?” Carly says, then semi-smiles. She slows down to let Kevin catch up.
“What’s up girl?” Kevin starts.
“No. Stop that. I saw Kevin last night and that’s who I want to walk home with. If you pull that a-hole K-Dawg out, you can walk by yourself,” Carly threatens.
“OK, OK. That’s cool. I’ll be cool,” Kevin reassures. “You know, I didn’t think you’d like me when we first met. I’m glad you gave me a chance.”
“Well, I’m gonna be honest. I was tipsy and you WERE a bit of a rebound.
“Hey, I’ll be used!” Kevin shouts. “I don’t mind.”
“Don’t act desperate Kev,” Carly says, before breaking out a smile. She grabs Kevin’s arm and he “escorts” her home.

Todd is working out and Abby and Jimmy are also in the weightroom. Dani is on the treadmill with her iPod on. She put the earbuds in when Abby walked in.
Abby realizes that Dani cannot hear so she pulls up beside Todd. “So, what’s it like to be with a lesbian?”
Todd ignores her.
“I was just wondering in case I wanted to pull a Dani and flip to the other team.” Jimmy laughs at this.
“You know, that is pretty disrespectful,” Todd grunts as he continues to work his legs.
“I think your hooking up with a lesbian is pretty disrespectful to your girlfriend,” Abby counters.
“Hey Jimmy, does this one have an off-button?” Todd says between clinched teeth. Dani sees Todd is upset and takes out the earbuds.
“Oh I see you are back with us,” Abby says to Dani, who is still ignoring her.
“Come on Honey. Let’s just work out,” Jimmy finally says to Abby.
“I’m just having fun. Gosh. Kind of like these two,” Abby says, motioning towards Todd and Dani. Todd is trying his hardest to ignore Abby.
“Abby, let’s just work out in quiet. Cool?” Dani asks.
“Sounds good to me,” Todd says before Abby can answer.
“Amazing Jimmy, how she has him on a leash when his leash is supposed to be held by someone else,” Abby cuts.
“Hey Abby, when are you leaving?” Dani asks.
“She leaves tomorrow morning. She is my guest, and I’d appreciate it if you respected her,” Jimmy defends Abby.
“How about she respect your roommates?” Todd barks at Jimmy.
“Listen, if Ray came for a visit, I’d respect her. She’s kidding. Learn to take a joke guys,” Jimmy is exasperated. Todd and Dani just roll their eyes.
“Sorry if you guys don’t get my joking,” Abby offers, with a shrug of the shoulders.

Vlad and Cailie are on a date at the Twisted Taco for Happy Hour and Cailie is trying to have the talk with Vlad. Vlad though seems more interested in the group’s friend Denise they met at compound. She just happens to be at Twisted Taco with some of her friends. They are on a bachlorette party and it is Denise’s turn to get a kiss from a guy at the bar. She picks Vlad and Vlad lays one on her cheek. Cailie laughs but Vlad appears that he might have liked it.
After Denise and her crew leaves, Vlad and Cailie do some karaoke and all seems right with their relationship again. They walk hand in hand to a cab, make out a bit in the cab and arrive home. They walk by Kevin and Carly, snuggling up on the front porch, next to the fire pit. Kevin leaves Carly and runs after Vlad.
“Dude, you don’t have any hard feelings that I hooked up with Carly last night?” Kevin asks, half bragging.
“You hooked up with Carly last night? You mean sex?” Vlad is a little slow to catch up.
“Yeah, you didn’t hear?” Kevin asks.
“She didn’t mention it this morning. But I don’t care,” Vlad says and turns back to Cailie. “You want to go down the water slide?”
“Only if you go! NAKED!” Cailie shouts. She had a Vault-ka at Twisted Taco. (From what we hear, it IS a bitchin’ after-party!)
Kevin returns to the porch and Carly pulls him close.
“You didn’t say anything to Cailie or Vlad this morning about last night?” Kevin asks, almost hurt.
“I’m not going to brag about what I do. We Do. Kevin. It is none of their business,” Carly explains.
“You aren’t ashamed are you?” Kevin asks.
“Would I be seen with you right now like I am if I was ashamed?” Carly asks. “PS, you were a monster last night. We are doing that again.”

Abby and Jimmy are headed to the airport. “Babe, thanks for coming and I’m really going to miss you.”
“I will see you before you know it,” Abby says as she squeezes Jimmy’s hand. At the airport Jimmy gives Abby a big hug. They are both crying. “I will see you soon Abbs.”
“James, have a blast. I love you SO MUCH,” Abby says. Suddenly an Airport cop honks his horn at them as they stand at the trunk. Jimmy waves the cop to pass them, but the cop honks again. Jimmy once again motions and the cop once again honks. “You are a FREAKING AIRPORT COP! YOU HAVE NO POWER MOVE ALONG!” Jimmy shouts. The cop honks again and Abby says, “Jimmy, don’t get arrested. I’ll go. I don’t want that prick to ruin this.”
“Arrest me? How is he going to arrest me?” Jimmy shouts. The cop honks again. The two hug and Abby walks away. Jimmy yells “a-hole” at the cop before getting into the car and driving away.
Back at the house, a plane is shown flying overhead and Dani wonders aloud to Todd, “Do you think that’s Abby leaving?”
“Nope. It isn’t a broom!” They laugh as we cut to credits.
