-[Arissa] This is the true story…
-[all] True story…

[Frank] …of seven strangers…

[Trishelle] …picked to live in a casino…

[Alton] …work together
and have their lives taped…

-[Brynn] …to find out what happens…
-[Steven] …when people stop being polite…

[Irulan] …and start getting real.

-[all] The Real World: Las Vegas.
-[Arissa] Baby, yeah!

[all laughing]

♪ Ooh-oh, all night long ♪

♪ Oh, I wanna rock you
I… ♪

[Trishelle] I like that color.
Is that the same color

-you've been wearing?
-[clicks tongue] No.

[Trishelle] It looks good.

I don't know
if I can really be Trishelle's friend

because I'm so jealous of her.

Trishelle has a really nice body.
She has huge boobs.

She's very sweet and cute,
and guys flock to her.

[Trishelle] Oh, my God.
I love Jack Johnson.

-You want to go with us?
-Yes.

[mid-tempo music playing]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[elevator bell dinging]

-Hey. I'm back. [chuckles]
-Hey.

[Irulan chuckles]

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Did you have fun up there?
-Trishelle needs help.

-Oh, God. She's up to no good again.
-We're there for like, ten minutes…

We're there for like,
ten minutes, swear to God,

and, like, she has a guy's phone number,
and then a guy talks to her.

And I'm like, "Are you kidding me?"
I'm here for, like…

-I was there for, what, three hours?
-At least she's not making out.

I wonder if she feels
like she's got to beat you

to the punch, if she's got to be you.

You know what I mean?
You know, "I'm down for whatever."

-"I'm gonna have a good time."
-I'm still down for whatever.

-But it's different.
-It is so different.

The sweetest girl. If I could describe her
in one word, it'd be "sweet."

But is she really that sweet or…

There is something there
that has me, like, "Mm."

It's Sybil and Trishelle.

-[both laugh]
-[Arissa] You know what I'm saying?

[soft pop music playing]

[Trishelle] Me and you are like--
I mean, I felt like we were cool. [grunts]

But honestly, people
in the house getting up

all in our business
is not [bleep] cool with me.

Oh, I agree. I don't think
that they're jealous of the fact that

any of them want to get with us.

But they're just jealous
of the fact that we're having sex.

-Yes. And they're pissed.
-Yeah.

[Trishelle] And to me, honestly--
Okay, look at me. I don't care.

-Oh, I know.
-I'm having fun.

I'm having a lot of fun.

[Trishelle] Steven
is a really good friend.

But I want to go on dates
with other guys… [chuckles]

…'cause I feel like
if me and Steven aren't dating,

then it's okay for me
to go on dates with other people.

I'm cool. You're cool.

Let's just keep that in our heads…

-[chuckles]
-…what's going on, okay?

[upbeat rock music playing]

[Marc] You guys have
that list, a copy of everything

with some of the more creative devil stuff
that we talked about?

Yes, we do.

We are promoting
for a night club called Rain,

which is in the Palm.

-We're gonna throw parties, tight parties…
-[indistinct chatter]

…where people are going
to get drunk and have a good time.

-[Frank] It's like eight--
-[Irulan] Temporary tattoos,

-do you have that?
-[indistinct chatter]

"Good to be Bad" is the theme
of Thursday night's party.

And Marc's asking us
to hand in a schedule of the day's events.

-All right, this looks good.
-[Arissa] Mm.

[Marc] The other thing is,
is find a good, nice, solid block

on the floor, interacting
with the customers, and then promoting.

You know what I'm saying?

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

-[Arissa] Should we put our boots on?
-[Jean] Yes, please.

-[Arissa] Okay.
-[Frank] Aw, man. Wrong foot.

[indistinct chatter]

Today we're just gonna get,
so I can get the feel for it, the motion.

[Frank] Jean is the person
in charge of our entertainment portion.

When we need
to get costumes or learn choreography,

he's the person in charge.

[Jean] We're gonna figure out first,
like, the basic movements.

[man] Yes.

[Jean] Try to create
the smooth motion that it looks,

-you know what I mean?
-The ski dance is very sensual, sexy, fun.

Whoo! [chuckles]

I do like to be the center of attention.
I'm not always.

But I like it when I am.

You guys are gonna push
against each other.

[Jean] Straight.

I don't know if I can do that.
Frank, can you do all that stuff?

We go a little bit forward,

-and then we'll come down.
-[Trishelle] I can't see him.

[Jean] Sit all the way down.

-Sit all the way…
-[Jean] All the way down.

Okay, lay on your back. There you go.

-Like, on my back?
-Yeah, come up from here.

-Pull yourself up.
-I can't pull myself up.

-[Steven] Oh, that helps. Wow.
-[chuckles]

I really don't like the ski routine.

I feel like I'm not as flexible
as the other girls, and I'm really tall,

so it's kind of hard
for me to, like, bend down.

And then when you go forward,
you throw it up and away.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Which one you don't understand?
Which one you don't remember?

-[Trishelle] Wait, where are you going?
-[Jean] You're going this way.

-I didn't even know we're--
-[Jean] The opposite.

-I think we should do that with the arm.
-[whimsical music playing]

Trishelle, I think if she just focuses
on what the moves are

and what the instruction
that we're getting is,

like, she would be great.

[Brynn] There you go,
there you go. Whoo!

-We go back down.
-[Trishelle groans]

-[both chuckle]
-[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

But she's not all there…
[chuckles] …when we're practicing.

[inhales, exhales deeply]

[upbeat music playing]

[Alton] On Thursday,
at the Good and Bad party,

I'm gonna be an angel. It's gonna be nice.

-Like this right here? It's kind of cool.
-That'd be cool. That one's cool.

-[chuckles]
-[Trishelle] Oh, my God.

-Jean?
-It's a no, take this off.

-[indistinct chatter]
-A muscle shirt or something… Yeah.

[Alton] This looks more like a fairy.

I'm out there standing
in front of a mirror.

I see one of the Village People
down from heaven.

[chuckles] I feel like an idiot,
man, a complete idiot.

[chuckles] What do you think, Jean?

I know this is gonna leave
a lot of room for suspicion.

-[Jean] Very much suspicion.
-Yeah.

Is that what you want? [chuckles]

[grunts]

This is not cool at all.

Oh, man.

[upbeat music playing]

[Brynn] Buy me some clothes.

The girls I live
with are beautiful, very thin, very sexy.

I love this.

I'm sexy, but not in, like, I don't know.

I don't think
that guys think that I'm sexy.

This one is a "B."
You want to try this one first just to see

-how full, it looks on you?
-Yeah.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Irulan] Look, she got you boobies.

I have no boobs and love handles.

-[Irulan] You didn't put the boobs in yet?
-[Brynn] No, I did.

[Irulan] So try it on with the bustier.

[Brynn] I'm not gonna be able
to rock it, but I'll try.

-[Irulan] Why not?
-[Brynn] Because I'm too fat.

-[Arissa] Oh, jeez.
-[Irulan] Oh, girl.

We go through this
every time we try clothes on.

[Jean] Sweetie, that looks good.
Why are you unhappy?

'Cause I'm unhappy with my body.

Let me tell you something.
From my point of view, you look great.

I don't know what your eyes see,
but my eyes see good.

All right.

[Trishelle] Brynn,
I want to see your outfit.

-No, I don't have an outfit.
-[Trishelle] Oh, you don't?

[Trishelle] Ever since Steven
and Brynn's fight,

things are changing between Brynn and I.

I feel like we are floating apart,
and I don't want that to happen.

-[Brynn] I know.
-[both laugh]

[soft rock music playing]

-[Brynn] Three…
-[Irulan] Right.

[Jean] Okay, now, I know you guys told me

that you guys rehearsed
something last night?

-The girls did.
-The girls.

We'll just go over it,
and then we'll show you.

[Brynn] Irulan and I thought
it would be sexy

and fun for two girls
to do a ski dance together.

[Irulan] Fish up.

Down.

And then it was…

Yeah, I feel like I need
to pay money to watch this.

[Jean laughs] Yeah.

[Trishelle] Brynn
and Irulan's ski dance is unreal.

Cool. I like it.

They look really great doing it,
and I feel like I'm not gonna look

as good as they are,
so I don't really want to do it.

Am I doing this,
or can I go upstairs or…

[indistinct chatter]

[Jean] You don't even want
to do that, do you?

No, I'll do it
if you think I'm good enough.

But I'm not very limber.
But if you want me to, I will.

Okay.

Watch out.

Oh, thank you.

-[Frank] Wait, you're done?
-Yeah.

I know she's not dumb,
but Trishelle can be so, like…

"Duh" that it's annoying. [laughs]

Okay, guys, that's what we're gonna do.

We're just gonna do it with two of you.

The rest leave the ski equipment here.
You're ready to go.

-Really?
-[Jean] Yeah,

I'm not gonna waste
anybody's time and effort

-and energy.
-[Steven] You're not wasting my time.

[Jean] No, I'm wasting my time
and Jenae's time, so…

[Brynn] So I can't tell
if the airheadness is fake

or if it really is just how she is.

[Trishelle] I'm ready.

-Hey, are y'all going upstairs or what?
-[Alton] Yes.

Man, I feel like we're pissing
all our bosses off, or me.

Yeah, definitely you.
[chuckles] I'm kidding.

Seriously.

[Frank] Well, there might be
some truth to that.

[Trishelle] I want to work hard in this.
I just don't know what the hell to do.

I think that confidence
is something that you get

whenever you're growing up back home.

And my family really
didn't give me that confidence.

I feel like everybody's really talented,
and I'm not. [scoffs]

You're not a stupid girl.
You are a good dancer.

You just need to show people that

instead of sitting around, saying,
"I can't do this. I don't understand."

Start believing in yourself.

[soft music playing]

You know what? Just do it really slow.

-[Brynn] And bring it back.
-[Irulan] And push back.

[Alton] Trishelle says that

she doesn't feel comfortable doing it
or whatever.

Hey, it's fine. Trishelle, go home.

I say that, "Hey, if there's
anything else I can do,

-I'd love to do it."
-Get the skis on.

[Alton] I'm just like,
"Put me where you're gonna put me,"

so he puts me with Steve.

Right now, you guys are too far.

-Yeah.
-You got to really come close.

I was totally gonna do
the ski thing with a girl.

-I wasn't paired up with no guy.
-[Jean] Go backwards.

[Alton] I have to do what I have to do.
Part of my job is performing,

so therefore, I'm gonna try my hardest
to make it look good

if it can at all possibly…
[chuckles] …look good.

-Just jump right on it, Alton.
-[Alton] Straight looked g*y, fool.

-[Trishelle] So, Alton…
-[sighs]

-…so you and Jean made up?
-[Alton] Shut up.

-[Trishelle] No, but I mean…
-[Frank chuckles]

-…are y'all cool now?
-Oh, yeah.

I thought you said like "made out," like…

-[Trishelle] Made up. [chuckles]
-Yeah, we made up.

[Trishelle] Alton, I think that shows
a lot that you still stayed over there.

I'll deal with it even
if I have to dance with a guy.

[Trishelle laughing]

I'm not into that whole,
like, whirling around,

dance like a ballerina,
or twirling like a girl.

So, you're cool with it?
You don't mind?

Well, I mean,
I'd like to do it with a girl, but…

-I don't care.
-I care.

I think Alton's only perception of,
like, how g*y people are, like,

the really flamboyant g*y people.

He probably skates with g*y guys
and doesn't even know it.

Most g*y guys are, like,
really manly men that like manly men.

-[Trishelle] It doesn't look g*y.
-Clearly.

I think everyone in the house would agree
that Alton's a little h*m*.

Body paint, wings,
and a halo. Looks pretty g*y.

Oh.

[upbeat music playing]

Tonight's event is a party
that you have to dress kind of like

either a devil or an angel.

So I'm gonna be an angel.

I'm not too excited
for the Good To Be Bad event

because of the costumes
that we have to wear.

But I think
that the performance on the skis

will help me get
a little bit more into it.

[Steven] Poor Alton.
He's so embarrassed about this.

-Really? I thought he was into it.
-Like, he's…

He wants to dance with a girl.

[Arissa] It's gonna look hot, though.

[upbeat pop music playing]

How are we supposed to carry the flyers,

-the kisses? Little bracelet.
-[indistinct chatter]

And then Jean brings
these little shorts. I'm like, "No, no."

-[Steven] Oh, my God.
-[Brynn] Beautiful.

[Alton] I mean, I know nine
and a half inches ain't much,

-but it's too much for this.
-[all groan]

-[Alton groaning]
-[women laughing]

What's bad about it?
They don't fit you right?

-Are they too big?
-Let us just see.

I have a smaller size.

That was the worst situation
I've ever been in.

-I'll go naked before…
-[Trishelle] Okay.

That's worse than a pink leotard for me.
It's not even out of the box for me.

That's like out of the closet.

-Honestly, I just--
-I didn't know that. I'm sorry.

I want you guys to look good.

Well, no, you don't. You want me
to look like a fool with those.

Well, if you have something
that you'll be comfortable

and you're not gonna damage it,
go ahead and do it.

Cool, cool.

I want to go downstairs and mingle.

All right, well, it's 11:30,
so get out of here.

[electronic dance music playing]

[Trishelle] Here's some flyers.

Frank and Arissa and I
are supposed to be interacting

with the people in the club,
and that's gonna be our role.

Our responsibility is to promote
these parties and to entertain the crowd.

[electronic dance music playing]

[Steven laughs]

[Alton] And I'll just promote,
hand out cards, and talk to people.

No. It's a little too late
to ask that question.

Hey, you had a whole week
to pick a costume

that you were happy with.

[Steven] Do you know how many
guys' numbers you're gonna get tonight?

-[all laugh]
-[Alton] I hate 'em.

Yeah, I hate the wings.

This is the worst possible situation
I can be in.

[electronic dance music playing]

No, not at all.
How long are you in this outfit, doll?

Trishelle has stopped
mingling with the crowd.

She's only talking to the bartender.

I'm pissed off
because here I am, all alone,

working my a*s off.

And here is Trishelle having
the best time in the world.

[electronic dance music playing]

-[Jean] Go, girls.
-[woman] Go, girls! You got it!

[Irulan] Oh, God.

I'm just like a deer trapped
in the headlights

when it comes to performing like that.

Brynn is fine. She's great.

Me focusing on her
is the only thing that keeps me

from just falling over and dying.

I'm walking down the stairs,
and there's Alton, right?

And I go,
"You look really good for a q*eer."

[gasps]

[Trishelle]

Seriously. Is he really?

[electronic dance music continues]

Guys, I'm sorry to say that,
but right now, you're one of us.

[laughs]

-Thank you.
-[Jean] Aw.

That was good, that was good.
Good job, guys. Thank you.

[soft rock music playing]

So, do you know Jean personally at all?
Or just pretty much all…

-[Denise] Business.
-Yeah, all business?

[Alton] Denise is a dancer. [chuckles]

She's a go-go dancer for Rain
and is actually one of Jean's employees.

I felt like Jean was trying
to make me look like a g*y for--

-I don't know what he was trying…
-[Denise chuckles]

…to do to me. I was like, "Homie."
But the thing that I felt so much worse

about the way I reacted
to the whole situation

than if I'd just wore
the damn shorts and been like, "Whatever."

Learning from that mistake
may not be that bad. Who knows, you know?

So, I'm like, "Hell, yeah,
I'm growing up a little bit,

like basically just growing up."

[exhales sharply]

[women giggle]

So, we're trying to go to bed here.

-Okay.
-So, we're all working,

and we're working really hard,

and we're actually promoting
and doing our job.

And then where's
little Miss Trishelle?

Take a guess. I know you know.

-[Irulan] A bartender? [laughs]
-But guess what?

I tried to pull her away and say,
"How about you promote with us,

because it's not fair." And she said,
"Y'all, what do you mean? I am promoting."

-b*tch, you have--
-[Irulan] You've been promoting

-her damn self. [laughs]
-[Arissa] Yes.

I'm tired of the dumb
as rocks routine. That's all I got to say.

-I have the brain span of an avocado.
-[both laugh]

[Irulan] All right,
no more info for Trishelle.

Let's see how quickly she can get fired.

-You know what? Yeah?
-[shushes]

This confessional's
not completely soundproof.

-[Arissa] No. [laughs]
-[Brynn] I'm sure that when we go outside,

she's gonna be, like,
standing next to the door. [laughs]

-I know. Yeah. Yeah.
-[Brynn] Okay, are we done?

-Okay.
-Finito.

-Good night. Peace.
-[laughs]

[all laugh]

[Trishelle] I feel like we have
to live with each other

and that we should just be cool
and stop the whining.

I feel like the girls
in this house are just,

like, freaking against me.
I don't know what it is.

I don't know.
Maybe they're jealous. I don't know.

I think that's [bleep] up.
I don't think that anybody should

[bleep] talk about me behind my back.

I don't feel like
your behavior tonight was appropriate.

Then fine.
Hey, you know, say it to me.

But don't, like,
talk about it behind my back.

Every single time I saw you,
you were in a corner with that guy,

either holding his hand
or, like, cuddling up with him.

[Irulan] There's just a time
and a place for everything.

I know that you like that guy,
but, like, it's not cool.

I was walking around too. I mean,
like, yeah, I was talking to Ryan a lot,

probably more
than I should have. But I promoted too.

Like, I handed out flyers.

I feel like I've been
more than nice to everybody

because I respect people's feelings.

-And, like--
-Trishelle, you didn't respect

anybody's feelings tonight.

I don't care.
Like, if you say that you worked tonight,

that's fine if you believe that.
I don't believe it.

Whatever.

But I still don't feel like this
is solved.

And if it's not, then… [scoffs]
…I don't know what to do about that.

But I'm just really tired right now, so…

I don't know. Good night, I guess.

[sobs] I honestly love,
like, everybody in the house.

And… [sniffles] …I don't know.

Like, I feel like… [chuckles]
…such a cheeseball saying that…

[sniffles] …but I love everybody
in the house so much. And…

And I feel like I'm making--

I want to make,
like, six new best friends. And,

I'm just afraid that,
you know, there are some people

in the house who don't feel
the same way about me.

And that bothers me. [sniffles]

[somber music playing]

[soft music playing]

[Trishelle] I've always,
always been the baby

with my friends,
my family, everybody. But…

I think it's time for me
to start taking care of myself and…

I need to grow up.

The whole thing last night
was a little bit

of disappointment, you know?

-'Cause we're sitting there…
-No, I know.

…busting our a*s or whatever.

-And it kind of was just like--
-'Cause we were supposed to be a team…

[Brynn] Yeah, and I wanted to have fun.

And maybe it was a little bit
of jealousy because you were having

-such a good time and…
-[Arissa] Definitely.

-…we weren't.
-[all laugh]

-[Arissa] I was like, she…
-I'm so sorry.

-[Arissa] Sober…
-[chuckles] I'm so sorry.

I want Trishelle
and my friendship to be on the level

of we both understand each other.

Not a best friendship,
but just a really like a good friendship.

Last night, I was in my bed,
and I was by myself,

and I was just like,
"These girls hate me."

"Like… [chuckles]
…they want me out of here."

I was, like, looking around. [laughs]

[Brynn] She was gonna
wake up and be packed.

Trishelle is a genuine person.
And I truly feel like she has feelings

and that she sees
a lot more than we think that she sees,

and that she truly does get hurt
by the things that we say.

[Trishelle] I'm sure that, at some point,

all of us are gonna kind of feel
that way, but…

-[Arissa] Oh, yeah.
-[chuckles]

[Arissa] Oh, yeah.

I just want us to all talk like this
whenever we have problems,

'cause I feel so much better.

[Brynn] You can talk to us.

I want to be able to.

[soft music concludes]
