[woman] Ow!

-[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!

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Frank] I'm at a strip club.

-I hope it isn't. Oh!
-No. [chuckles]

[Steven] Frank is so uncomfortable.

I don't think he's ever been
to a strip club.

[Frank] I can't go to a strip club

and appreciate it
for what it is and be like,

"Cool, there are naked ladies here.
I'm aroused."

Me, I'm more, like,
talking to the strippers

and getting interested in them.

[indistinct chatter]

Is that, like, a lap dance
or something like that?

Do it.

Shake it. She wants…
She wants that too.

[Steven] Look at that lady here.

No, I really don't want this. No.

-[chuckles, laughs]
-[Frank] Honestly. No, stop, stop.

-[Steven] Do it.
-[woman 1] Do you have a girlfriend?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

-Stop, stop, stop.
-[women laughing]

Do it to him. He likes all this stuff.

-Like, go over there.
-[chuckles]

[Frank] I just feel like it's so hard
to find a decent girl in Las Vegas.

I'm going to find a good girl.
I'm determined.

There's one in Las Vegas,
and I'll find her. I swear to God.

[song continues playing, fades]

[Trishelle] What about your mom?
How is she? I mean…

[Frank] My mom is the church lady.

[Trishelle] Really?

[Frank] She's the definition of a mom.

She pampered and babied me
my whole way through it,

but at the same time,
she's taught me a lot, and--

[Arissa] But she [bleep] you,
because you'll never be able

to find a wife to measure up.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Frank] I think I will.

I want a girl that is really nice
and loves… likes cooking me dinners

and likes taking care of me.

The saddest part about all this
is his mom is so, like,

religious and everything,
and he's dragging me to strip clubs.

[Irulan laughs]

[upbeat music playing]

We have everything in place
to make this a successful performance.

"Lust" is a theme party
that we're throwing at Rain on Thursday.

We have about two little skits
that we're going to put on for the party.

[Marc] When you're licking
whipped cream off one another

and spanking one another,
these are very provocative scenes,

so I don't want you
sh**ting yourselves in the foot.

Um, that we're a nightclub,
not a gentlemen's club.

I'm not gonna do this.
I'm not gonna participate.

I'll be a photographer,
but I'm not gonna get up on a bed

in a nurse's costume or whatever.
It's not me.

Irulan saying, "All I'm gonna do
is take pictures the whole time."

How the hell are you gonna work…
That's stupid. That's a big cop-out.

I'm not here to be exploited or degraded

or to feel bad about myself
at the end of the night.

But you guys chose the theme,
and you guys chose the skits.

I did not assign you these genres.

You… I gave my suggestions
and my opinions, but you chose these,

so if you're not comfortable with them

and performing them,
then you shouldn't have chose "Lust."

[Trishelle] I don't think
we work as a team

because I think it's hard
to get seven people

to all come together and do one thing.

You know what has
to get done at this point,

especially with the promotion.
I'm sure you'll promote it well.

You need to promote it well.
It's a big part of the job.

Each week, we promote the show
that we're having on Thursday.

I absolutely hate that part of the job.
I don't want to deal with that,

so I just would rather not do it at all.

Okay, here's the bottom line, okay?

There has to come a point
where you guys take some ownership

of this job.

[soft acoustic music playing]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Trishelle] Tomorrow night,

if y'all don't have plans, I work at Rain,
and my roommates do too, and we, like,

promote and perform over there, and…

I made a commitment to myself
that I am going to do everything

that I need to do to help the group.

[Alton] My name is Alton.
I work over at the Palms Casino for Rain.

I just want to know if I can just leave,
like, a couple flyers, maybe?

Like, I promoted all night tonight.

It's another week of Alton promoting hard
and nobody else working.

Here's some passes, actually.

[mid-tempo music playing]

I don't feel like we've done
a lot of promoting for the week,

so I decide, "Hey, you know, if I go out,
and I hand out one management pass,

it's better than me sitting
on my butt all night and doing nothing."

I meet this girl, Melanie. She is so cool.

Melanie is one of the nicer girls
that I've met in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, she is here
on spring break vacation.

-[indistinct chatter]
-I'm in Vegas.

Like, I wish I was in any other city,
any other city,

because I could be meeting,
like, normal girls.

-[Melanie] Right.
-But I can't here.

-[man] Hey, good luck.
-And then I meet someone like you.

I know I'm only 22,
but when I go out with girls,

I think about, like,
"Could I marry this girl?"

[Frank] I don't even want
a bachelor party,

because when I'm marrying,

I don't want it to be a thing of,
"Oh, my God. I have one more day."

"I should see naked strippers."

'Cause I don't even care
about strippers right now.

[Melanie] Not the kind of guy
I would want to marry.

-♪ I brought you something close to me… ♪

[Melanie] So where do we go now?

[electronic music playing]

[snores]

Alton's in there. Come here.

Alton's there.

I don't want to disturb him,
so we're just gonna go in here.

[Frank] Let's do a confessional.

I swear to God, she's the only good girl
I have met in Las Vegas.

I invited her back to Rain,
because I'm an excellent promoter.

I care about my job so much.

[Steven] I know that Frank
and Melanie are in the confessional.

I know that max
all they're doing is kissing.

-[Melanie] You're so cute.
-No, you're so cute.

-[Melanie gasps]
-[Brynn] Oh, I'm sorry.

Everyone's [bleep] in this house.
Hello. Come here.

I open up the [bleep] confessional,
and there's people…

-Some guy's naked a*s. [chuckles]
-Who's guy? What guy?

Somebody's [bleep] having sex
in the confessional.

What?

I opened the door,
and there was a [bleep] a*s,

-and I was like, "Sorry."
-Whose was it?

[Brynn] I don't know.
It was dark in there.

[Irulan] The lights are off.

-[Dave] Like Christian porn.
-That's so much trouble.

[Arissa] In the [bleep] confessional?

-Was it Alton?
-[Brynn] Pretty sure.

Frank came in with a girl.

-That's right.
-[Brynn] Bet you it's not Frank.

-I guarantee.
-Is he too, like, straightforward or what?

I don't think he would do that.

-[Irulan chuckles]
-[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music playing]

[snores]

[Arissa] Whoever is in here
that's having [bleep] sex,

know that this is a [bleep] communal space
and take your skank out of here.

Take your…

Take your [bleep] skank
out of here, you a*s-[bleep]!

[upbeat music playing]

Arissa is sitting out there,
waiting for them to come out,

so she can stare down
this poor little girl.

She seems to be just, like,
looking for things to get angry at.

Yeah, there's somebody having
[bleep] sex in there. That's gross.

That's a [bleep] communal space.

-You know what I'm saying…
-Can I ask you guys a quick question?

She seems to think that everyone here
thinks we were having sex in there,

so if it's at all possible,
she's, like, frightened,

and, like, I was just kissing her.

Could you do me a favor
and get out of here?

[Arissa] Yeah, I'll just…
Come on, let's go outside.

-Exactly, just--
-No, no, no.

-No, that way.
-[Arissa] Okay.

-Walk over that way.
-[Arissa] Okay. [chuckles]

I'm biting my tongue
and acting very cordial to Arissa,

because it's going to be a lot worse
for Melanie

if I scream and yell right now.

[upbeat music playing]

It's okay. I'm here for you, okay?

[Melanie] What's going on? [chuckles]

Just [bleep] was having sex
in the confessional,

and that's not cool really.

That's someplace you have to go,
like the shower and the bathroom.

Did you have sex in the shower?

-No, I haven't.
-I heard that somebody in this house

-had sex in the shower.
-It wasn't me.

-It wasn't me.
-I heard a rumor…

-[Steven] It wasn't us.
-…that we did.

[laughs]

-[Melanie] Okay.
-Okay, let me just give him…

[smooches]

[Frank] Did you have fun with me?
Did you like me?

-[Melanie] It was just a bad ending.
-[Frank] You know what?

-[Melanie smooches]
-[Frank] That ending sucked. [smooches]

I'm extremely mad at Arissa.

I want nothing more,
but to just scream and yell

and tell her how much of a b*tch she is.

-[Steven] This is just an evil place.
-[Arissa] I know.

It's definitely an evil place.

-Can I talk to you for a couple minutes?
-Sure.

-Let's just do this somewhere else.
-Okay.

You really pushed me over the edge.

I don't like you, Arissa.
I don't like you at all.

All that happened
was I was kissing a girl in there,

and that was it.
You screamed, you yelled, you kicked.

You yelled things
that weren't true without knowing.

After everything that happened
in this house,

as far as sex goes,
I was brought up very differently.

You were brought up the way
that I was brought up.

Arissa is being defensive,
because she's very afraid to admit

when she's been wrong.

-[Arissa speaking indistinctly]
-…is that you make the smallest issue

out of anything and blow it up.

[Arissa] You're right.

You are totally, utterly,
completely right. I'm a very hothead.

This is something that I know

and that I am learning
so much about me right now.

There are a lot of behaviors
that I need to amend.

You are very valid in everything
that you say and that you feel.

[Frank] The more Arissa is crying
and apologizing,

the more I'm realizing
that she's being very, very genuine.

She realizes what she did was wrong.
I don't need any more.

I don't need to rub her face in the dirt.

I think we've gotten to the bottom
of this issue, Arissa, okay?

The point is…
Here, I have a favor for you.

When Alton brings another skank home,
yell at him, okay?

[soft guitar music playing]

We're at the "Lust" meeting
with Jean to discuss

what we're supposed to be doing.
Picking up costumes, all of this stuff.

[jean] You know, because we're gonna need…
Today is Wednesday,

because by the time you get there
and you have to pick up

some of the costumes,
this way, we're gonna see

what costumes are available
to take care of,

because she's gonna be coming, like…

[Irulan] Is Brynn here?

-No.
-She's on her way.

Everyone is there except for Brynn.
Brynn is at Josh's house.

Josh is Brynn's friend.

-[indistinct chatter]
-I am not getting costumes

until Brynn is here.

I can't. She needs a costume,
and I don't, so…

I'm pretty pissed off
that Brynn isn't at the meeting.

[Irulan] I'll go, I'll get the costumes,
but Brynn should be here,

and I don't think
that it's fair to the group.

[tense music playing]

I know it's not very fair
for my roommates,

but if they don't tell me what to do,

-then I'm not gonna do anything.
-[Josh] Yeah.

I don't really know how
everything is coming together,

because I don't really care,
and everyone else is on top of it.

I'm not sure
what's going on this week,

because I haven't
been paying attention,

and I haven't really put forth
any effort for any of this.

-[Josh] Right.
-Because I don't really like this job.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

I am a sexy nurse,
and it's really sexy, and I like it.

-Can you see my butt now?
-No, no.

I think you should try that again.

-There you go. That's nice.
-[Trishelle laughs]

I've been having these dreams
that Trishelle and Steven may be pregnant,

and then last night, I found out
they have been having mad unprotected sex.

And I'm like, "Are you that stupid?"

[Steven] I think it's cute.

Alton is the ugliest woman
I've ever seen in my life.

-[Trishelle chuckles]
-I'm over… What?

I think he's a pretty sexy woman.

And it's glorious. You have glorious hair.

[Alton] Thank you.

[music continues]

You were having fun last night.

We all were, but all the rest of us
were here for the meeting.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea

to go hot-tubbing
at seven o'clock in the morning.

I know I wasn't very responsible
with this whole job situation,

and there is times
when I'm like, "[bleep] it,

I don't care," when I need to care.

-You know what I mean?
-But think about how you felt

when Trishelle was all hugged up
with Ryan,

and we were hooched out,
and she was drunk,

and we were sober, and--

-And we were working, and she wasn't.
-Yeah.

Think about how mad you were,
and we all take the brunt

-when it's bad…
-With Trishelle…

…and we all get the rewards
when it's good,

and, you know, it's just not fair
for anybody to feel like

they're doing more than their share,
because we're a team.

We're here, and we have a task
that we need, you know,

to accomplish, and I don't want
to be dragging anybody

along with me.

[Irulan] And the truth of the matter is
is that if you don't cut it for that,

there's a big chance
that you will go home.

I know.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

The fact that I don't feel
that I should be in a position

to be somebody's supervisor and to say,
"These calls need to be made."

"We are expected to promote."

"This needs to get done,
that needs to get done."

And we are seen as team.

We're treated as a team
by you and by Jean,

but that is not what's going on.

I don't have the strength and the energy
to work for more than one person.

I mean, I will say that Trishelle has
really put in a major effort this week,

because she got a lot of flak last week.

I think Brynn has stepped up,
to be honest. You know, I…

If going and being in somebody's hot tub

takes precedent over needing
to get up early tomorrow

so that tomorrow can happen
and be successful, you know,

it leaves it on the rest of us
to get it done.

It really bothers me that Brynn
just doesn't care at all about the job

or about her responsibilities
to us and our team.

I can't put a curfew on you,

but if I think your partying
is affecting your job,

maybe you have to be disciplined.

There is no team.

There are people who do work.
There are people who don't.

And there are people who kind of do.

[Marc] I know you're in Vegas.
I know it's a 24-hour party.

But for the love of God,
you're a real person

with a real life and a real job,
start acting like it.

[gentle electronic music playing]

[telephone ringing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Arissa] So I definitely,
totally, utterly, completely apologize.

I'm apologizing to Melanie right now,
'cause Melanie is not that girl

that I assumed she is.

[Arissa] Because I totally did not mean
to make you uncomfortable.

So totally feel comfortable to come here.
Like, I'll be on my meekest behavior.

Like, you have nothing
to utterly worry about, okay?

-And I'm sorry again.
-[Melanie] All right.

-Okay, bye-bye.
-[Melanie] Bye-bye.

[soft guitar music playing]

Like I said, I had
a really good time.

If you ever get bored,

maybe just hop on a plane
and come to Las Vegas.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

-[Melanie] All right, bye.
-Bye.

[instrumental music playing]

[Brynn] I mean, like,
I can understand, like…

First of all, you don't eat correctly,
and that can… any fluctuation in weight

can make you not have your period,
but I think that you're pregnant.

I hate to go to the doctor.

-Seriously, it's--
-You'll go with me on Wednesday.

But you need to go.

And the pregnancy thing,
I want to put that off,

-because, like, if…
-[sighs] There's no turning back.

And then what?
You're stuck with a little

Steven-Trishelle kid
running around? Like, "Whoa."

-This is just bad.
-You're 22.

Like, this is really bad.

[upbeat music playing]

-[Steven] Are there people in there?
-I wonder if they--

I wanna see how busy it is.

Please, God,
don't let it be a horrible turnout.

We have the worst turnout.
It's, like, 600 people.

Yeah, Marc told me
if we get a bad turnout, we're [bleep].

-[indistinct chatter]
-[music continues]

-[chuckles]
-[indistinct chatter]

-[laughs]
-I feel like an idiot.

Tonight's theme for the party is "Lust."

In the first skit,
I'm going to be walking around

in some sort of blatant Roman outfit

carrying along Trishelle, Alton,
and Arissa in a threesome.

Being in a bed acting lusty
with Alton, I feel so incestuous.

-[crowd cheering]
-[heavy rock music playing]

[Steven] Irulan has the gall
to go and talk

[bleep] about everybody else,

when all she's doing
is running around taking pictures,

and she just really irritates me.

[music continues]

I am very proud of the nurse scene,
and it's really fun.

[chuckles]

Alton is a very scary nurse.

I'm nervous about going out on stage

and Alton massaging me
with a blonde wig on.

I hope that the crowd understands
that it's humorous.

["She Is Beautiful" playing]

♪ She is beautiful, she is beautiful ♪

♪ Nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah ♪

♪ She is beautiful, she is beautiful… ♪

We did it. [laughs] That's some comedy.

-Yes.
-[Alton] Did that look good?

-That was funny. Did you see…
-Now, as your boss,

I'd like to have seen you guys do that
with about 300 more people in the room,

but that had to be one
of the funniest things

I've ever seen in my life.

I think that, as a whole,
the house is more interested

in getting drunk
and partying than anything,

and we're all guilty of that.

[Alton] We're gonna party regardless,

late into the night, early,
early into the morning.

That's gonna be what we do,
because, yeah, we're here in Vegas.

["When I Get You Alone" playing]

-[song concludes]

Jeez, I hope I don't have to run
out of this meeting and puke.

[Irulan chuckles]
Everybody looks so tired.

The two of y'all's eyes are, like, red.

I am real hungover
after our night of partying.

-It's the [bleep].
-[Irulan laughs]

You guys look like death
warmed over today. I'm sorry.

You're burning yourselves out.
I think that you're…

you're allowing
the social aspects of this job

to get the best of you in certain cases.

Your skits the other night
for "Lust" were great.

If you guys had to be rated
right now on a scale of one to ten,

you would be probably a seven, okay?

But a seven doesn't put

consistent bodies in the room.

Every time you say
that there's something positive,

it's always followed by a negative.

-Like, that is crushing us.
-[Steven] Like several negatives.

[Marc] Okay, I'm not trying to be negative

if you don't like
what's coming out of my mouth.

I'm trying to help you learn.

The challenge that I'm facing
is the current status

-of your guys' ability to work as a team.
-[tense music playing]

I don't know if you can really see a team

when there's all sorts
of little cliques going on in the house,

so Marc is sending us
to a team-building workshop.

What you're gonna do Sunday will help you

in preparing and succeeding
in the upcoming projects.

[Frank] If we keep on fighting

and letting all our little
personal problems come into play

and not doing the job, yeah,
we won't have a job anymore.

[Marc] So that's pretty much Sunday.

It's a balance-- a rebalancing act,
to put it in show terms.

[music fades]
