MTV Real World: Ex-Plosion Episode 12 Review

Last week, we left the Real World crew in a taxi cab battle.  Brian and Cory's boiling pots finally grew to a royal rumble.  The two start throwing punches and Brian gets in a face-kick.

Jay screams two octaves higher than his naturally higher voice.  It is now that the producers have the cab pull over to remove Brian from the vehicle.

The cast returns to their house and Brian is pulled aside until Cory gets tucked into bed to avoid any more feuding.  However, Brian returns to Jenny's bedroom and tries to sleep in the spare bed.  When Brian finds a reason to get up, Jenny throws all the spare water cups in the room on the bed in order to deter Brian from staying in the room.

It's all the power she has left.  This is what her stay in the Real World house has become.

Brian, obviously upset, rips the blankets off of her and storms around the house, pouting.  He finds his way to some sort of nook in the house layout and makes himself a nest.

The next day, the housemates try to avoid Brian but he confronts Cory in an attempt to work things out.  Unfortunately, things don't exactly smooth over.

Big surprise.

On the otherside of the house, Jamie and Tom discuss their future relationship.  Tom is hesitant because his last long-distance relationship (with Hailey) ended two weeks into the distance with the ex cheating.  Jamie has had similar past experiences, but she points out that neither of them were the cheaters in the circumstances.

The group decides to go on an outing on a boat and then they return to the house before going out to another club.  Jenny is having her last night as a Go-go Dancer while Brian is having his last night to get plastered and fight Cory.

The group seems to be having a great time: no punches thrown and Jamie has a three-way kiss with Arielle and Ashley.  This then prompts Brian to say "I've had threesomes and foursomes," while Jenny is carrying him... which upsets Jenny.

Brian is visibly blacked-out at this point: His eyes are glazed, he can barely stand on his own, he's talking nonsense.  However, the rest of the house does not recognize this and Cory kind-of eggs him on.

Cory, noticing that Brian is pulling on Jenny a little to hard, guides him into the bedroom for Brian to have some space to cool off.  Cory's tactic is not productive because after Brian does a slight, drunken body-check to Cory, Cory pounces and knocks Brian onto the ground.

Thiks is upsetting to Jenny because she knows Brian is making a fool out of himself.  She says, "I've never seen a person like that in my life."

Arielle, finally noticing that she's been the on-call therapist for quite some time now, jumps to Brian's aid and tries to console him.  Not to knock Arielle's house therapist skills, but it does not work because Brian is too drunk to even know who he is at this point.  Brian somehow manages to charge Arielle for whatever reason and is then taken into house security custody.

The house security brings Brian to a hotel room for the remainder of the night.

The next and final day is filled with tearful goodbyes and Brian's proposal to Jenny.  He says, "I want to commit," as he pulls her aside to talk about their experience.

"Well," Jenny says, "I don't."

Brian's Top 8 Quotes:

1.) "I am trying to win this game."

2.) "5 years."

3.) To Cory: "What inner demons do you have?"

4.) Wearing camouflage: "I am a soldier... I am ready for war, baby."

5.) "I am hurting inside very deeply."

6.) "I've had threesomes and foursomes."

7.) To Jenny: "I want to commit."

8.) "I went big and now I'm going home."

Stay tuned for next week's Reunion Show!  I'm sure there will be a lot of explaining to be done.
