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.

I'm a little bit of a fight with MTV. On Monday night, some friends and I caught the premiere episode of Legally Blonde: The Search For The Next Elle Woods when a commercial for The Real World aired. In it, they said right out that Greg gets kicked off the show, leaving no mystery about tonight's episode. We also didn't have to wonder what happened when Joey came home from rehab, since we all pretty much figured that the roomies wouldn't have the common sense or tact to keep their binges to a minimum. Brianna headed home to Pennsylvania again to face the music in her court case and Will tried to start a showmance with a Real World alum!

Last month, we reported that The Real World was renewed for its 21st season, which is set to take place in Brooklyn, New York. Now, further reports have surfaced, talking about what’s in store for the next season and where our MTV housemates will be residing. The men behind the production have already promised viewers that the new season will focus on individuals who are “genuine” and have “meaningful conflict” that would eventually tell “powerful stories.”

The Real World is many a college co-ed’s dream. You live in one of the sweetest houses, get a trendy job, surround yourself with beautiful people, drink every night, and oh yeah – you get to be on television. In 20 seasons, thousands upon thousands of people have applied but only a little more than 100 have made it onto the show. Some have milked their Real World fame for all its worth, like Beth from the Los Angeles cast. Some have never been seen or heard from again, like Irene from Seattle. However, no cast member has ever behaved the way Greg of the Hollywood cast has and we’re still trying to figure out what the heck he’s doing there.

On tonight’s episode of The Real World, the house was divided. On one side, we had Greg and on the other … well, we had everybody else. Greg has had a difficult time making friends with anybody in the house since the season began. It could have something to do with the pranks he plays: putting rocks in people’s beds, wiping toothbrushes in grease, and stealing the underwear of the female roomies. Tonight’s episode featured a full fledged meltdown in the house with one cast member removed for a night by production.

On tonight’s episode of The Real World, Sarah’s boyfriend came to Hollywood to visit the house. At dinner that night, Sarah and Will engage in a burping contest while her boyfriend awkwardly looks on. Greg meets him later on in the night, after all the roomies, and immediately assesses Ryan as a "dweeb".
Dave and Greg bring some girls that they met out at the bar home, which doesn't sit well with Kim, considering they just hooked up. When one of the girls disrespects Brianna, she calls the girls "whores" and Greg fights back.

One has to wonder why Greg even wanted to be on The Real World: Hollywood in the first place. After winning an internet contest on MTV's website, Greg became the seventh and final roommate this season on The Real World. He has yet to form friendships with anyone and, on tonight's episode, finds the entire house against him. Greg has seemed unimpressed with his surroundings and uninterested in anyone or anything involving The Real World. Today, Greg spoke to BuddyTV in an exclusive interview about what sets his roomies off, if he liked his job with the improv group, and if he left the show with any friends.
Below, you will find the complete transcript and mp3 of the interview.

The Real World used to be about more than a bunch of 20-somethings, without direction, who liked to party and hook up with each other. Once upon a time, they dealt with social issues such as race, religion, and sexuality. These days, most scenes for the MTV reality show are filmed in the bar or the bedroom. The fights are bigger, the meltdowns are scarier, and the booze is always flowing while cameras wait to capture a television worthy moment. With so much debauchery to be had in Hollywood, why did MTV choose to cast not one, but two former addicts on their show this season?
