The Real World

Things were definitely a little quieter in the house without Greg.  Last week, he was kicked out of The Real World house after getting fired from his job.  This week, though, there was still enough drama to fill up 60 minutes.  After getting out of rehab, Joey is seriously struggling with staying on the wagon.  It must be tough, considering Hollywood is, by far, the worst place someone could be while trying to stay away from drugs and alcohol.  His insensitive roommates don't help much, barely listening to him, never mind respecting any of his wishes.  Brianna got some opportunities to advance her singing career and worked hard to get noticed.

Brianna received the opportunity to sing for a top music producer in Hollywood.  He works for Matthew Knowles' label.  She was told that she really needs to get herself out there and perform for people.  Brianna headed to the streets of Hollywood, where she sang for tourists and even made a little cash.  Her big break came when she was invited to sing at a charity event with Alex Band of The Calling.  It was a great opportunity for her, and she was seen by a large amount of people at The Hard Rock Cafe.

Joey struggled to stay sober while in The Real World house.  When an old friend of his, who first introduced him to coke, came to L.A. to see him, Joey decided that he just couldn't do it.  Between the confrontation with his friend and Sarah's constant nagging, Joey felt that he was having a very difficult time dealing with his anxiety without turning to drugs or alcohol.  He finally decided that it would be best for him to get out of this environment and go home to Chicago.  Before leaving, he read a very emotional goodbye letter to drugs and alcohol, that he wrote while in rehab.  The roommates all felt that he did what was best for him and wished him the best as he got in his taxi and headed home.
