On tonight's The Real World, romance is blooming in Sydney for some and dying out for others.  While Kelly Anne and Cohutta seem to get closer, Parisa begins losing interest in Dunbar, who has been treating her poorly almost since they stepped foot in Australia.  Kelly Anne says she doesn't want to be interested in Cohutta, but her actions betray her words.  However, she met a guy in Sydney named Carey who's interested in her and sets up a date with him.

Carey sends Kelly Anne flowers, which for some reason strikes a chord in Dunbar.  He says he won't let his money define himself with a woman and screams at his housemates.  Despite her suitor, Kelly Anne can't stop thinking about Cohutta.  Tensions continue to build between Dunbar and the women of the house, after they get into an argument about religion.

Dunbar alienates himself from everyone in the house and doesn't feel like socializing with them.  He vents his frustration to his girlfriend back home.  Isaac decides Dunbar needs to chill out, as perhaps we all do, so he buys him an adult magazine to get him to relax.  We learn a little more about why Dunbar is the way he is.  He had an abusive father and neglectful mother, and emancipated himself from them as a teenager.  That certainly explains a lot about his demeanor in the house.

Parisa gets upset when Dunbar begins swearing at her and calling her names, which he says is all in good fun.  When she calls him out on his behavior, he becomes a little more aware of how he has been upsetting her and others in the house.  Cohutta displays a little jealousy towards Kelly Anne's date as she heads out for a night on the town in Sydney.  Cohutta apparently seems to be on Kelly Anne's mind as well, since she spends the date talking about how amazing he is.  Poor Australian guy.

Isaac tries to encourage Cohutta not to get too involved with Kelly Anne, since roommates who hook up is rarely a good situation.  When Carey asks Kelly Anne for a kiss, she shoots him down, and heads home to the guy she's really interested in.  Parisa and Kelly Anne gets a hold of the Dunbar's dirty magazines and make a collage out of it.  Cohutta grills Kelly Anne about her date but she doesn't want to talk about it but finally says she wasn't interested in him.  The two climb into bed together and seem to be hooking up, despite Isaac's warnings.

On next week's The Real World, the housemates head to gay Mardi Gras, which doesn't sit well with Trisha and her religious beliefs.
