12x18 - Down Under

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[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]

[upbeat music playing]

I feel so liberated right now.

[Arissa] I’m in Australia,
and I've been doing things

that I never thought I'd do
in my whole life,

and I think that this trip is gonna be,
like, a stepping stone to change.

-Get your full body on?
-Uh, no, I'm--

-k*ll the tan lines?
-I'm trying.

Irulan’s angry, I think, because,
for one thing, I changed rooms.

I ended up rooming with the boys
instead of rooming with her.

She thinks I’m gonna go hook up
with all these girls on the island.

[Brynn] The vibe between Irulan and Alton
is a little cold.

Irulan kind of shut down a little bit.

-Like, whatever.
-[all chuckle]

[Irulan] If four days of Temptation Island
is more than, like,

everything that this has led up to be,
then like… You know?

[Irulan] Alton deciding to room
with the boys makes me feel bad

because it makes me feel
like I'm getting shafted again.

[Trishelle] Men will be men.

[Irulan] That’s not acceptable to me,

and the men that I deal with
are not like that.

[Brynn] How many times do you think
you’ve been burned by this gentleman?

More than once. Just too many.

The point of the matter
is that I'm not feeding into it.

He’s like, "Where do we stand?"
I’m like, "We’re done."

[Brynn] Ooh. No, really?

[Trishelle] Are you just all set now?

[Irulan] Well, if I was all set,
would I feel like [bleep]? No, right?

[pensive music playing]

[Trishelle] Me and Frank
are just gonna go ride together.

[Frank] I'm having the best time here.

Every day, I'm doing something
that I've never done before.

-[man] Hold on with two hands, everyone.
-[shrieks]

You’re asking me… You’re begging me--

I don’t care. Do you want us to die?

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music playing]

This vacation has just opened my eyes,

and let me see another part of the world.

Isn’t that the cutest thing
you’ve ever seen in your life?

[laughs]

[birds squawking]

[Arissa] Being in this amazing place,
I’m not having the time

that I could be having
because there’s tension

between Alton and myself.
He’s a big [bleep],

and I hate him.

[upbeat music playing]

[Alton] I think this affected her.

I told her I'd share a room
with you guys. We haven’t really

said a cool thing after that.

-She took that so offensively, like…
-[Steven] Yeah.

Yeah, but I'm sure y’all are gonna hook up

-a couple more times.
-I'm telling you, dude--

[Steven] But eventually…
I’m just saying, eventually--

Yeah, you are.

If you have a boyfriend, you have no right
to say anything. That’s what I feel.

I just don’t see how Irulan has any place
to tell Alton

not to hook up or talk to any other girls

-when she’s dating two people.
-There’s so many girls.

Like, why? Who… Why? Why?

I makes me just be like, "Yo,
I should just go and mingle

like I’m single also," because I am.

-Psh, psh, psh, psh.
-[Steven] I don’t even know

-what you’re doing.
-[laughs] That’s my mating call.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Arissa] Mm.
-[Irulan] Mm!

-Mm.
-[Arissa] Pass the salt.

That possum is, like, going up
and eating out of her damn hand.

It’s a wild animal.

She better watch out.
They said they’ll take your food.

And then they’ll bite you.
They’ll scratch you.

[women chuckle]

-[distant singing]
-[Arissa] Wait, where he's going?

All of a sudden, like,
Alton’s over there talking to two girls.

-So they call this a possum.
-Yeah.

[Alton] Well, 'cause in the states
we have possums,

-but they’re huge, ugly things.
-Not like this. They’re really ugly, yeah.

-[Arissa] Where is he?
-He’s in the middle.

[indistinct chatter]

-[Alton] Are you guys going to Salt?
-Oh, Salt.

-We’re having a party.
-[Alton] You’re having a party over--

-Yeah.
-[woman chuckling]

[Alton] Awesome.
So I'll definitely show up

after we eat some dinner.

Okay, so,

there’s, like, a Temptation Island party
over at 515.

Irulan definitely gets mad
whenever he flirts with other girls.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Alton] If I had a girlfriend,
I wouldn’t be doing everything I'm doing,

but the fact is, I don’t.
Irulan is definitely not my girlfriend.

[upbeat music playing]

[Trishelle] It’s terrible.

Alton… Oh, my God,
he’s the biggest player ever.

[Alton] I came out here just thinking
I’m gonna have fun,

and be a 22-year-old, single young man.

[Irulan] Am I not gonna make out tonight?

No! Oh, my God.

You were the one who said
if you want to do it, then do it.

[upbeat music playing]

[Trishelle] But do you really want
to do it?

[Irulan] I don’t know. I’m drunk,
and I want some.

[Trishelle] Exactly.

[Trishelle] Irulan is looking like
an a*s-[bleep] 'cause of him,

and it pisses me off.

And I feel like that’s probably
how I looked with Steven.

[Trishelle] I'm telling you,
I’ve been there,

hooking up with a roommate.
He’s just gonna make you look stupid.

-[Trishelle] If you want to look stupid…
-[Irulan] But will he give me

-a big, fat [bleep] before that?
-[Trishelle] …be me, please.

[Arissa] Big, fat [bleep]
or look stupid? [chuckles]

-No, it’s not [bleep] worth it. Like, no!
-Big, fat [bleep] or not even worth it?

-[Irulan giggles]
-[Trishelle] Not even worth it.

She needs to stay away from Alton.

I'm crashed out on the big bed
in the guys’ room.

Alton comes in.

[Steven] Hello! Hello. What’s up?

-[Alton] This is not cool, man.
-[Steven] What happened?

-[Steven] Irulan?
-[Alton] No.

-[Steven] Somebody else?
-[Alton] Mm-hmm.

[Steven] Cool.

[Alton]

[Steven] That’s cool. Never feel bad
about that.

Just remember to forget
everything I've said.

[gentle music playing]

[Alton] So what do I do? I just say,

"I want to talk to you,"
or something like that?

Just pull her aside.

[Alton] I’m really not enjoying myself
on Keppel Island.

It’s a beautiful place,
but I want quality time with Irulan

on a beautiful island.

I'm guessing she’d be like,
"Let’s just try to do this again,"

or something like that.

I didn’t tell Irulan that he told me
that he had a threesome.

I don’t know what to say about the guy.

In a perfect world,
that’s what I would want,

but it’s, like, not a perfect world.
I just--

Are you sure? You really don’t think
that she’s gonna be like that?

I really, really don’t think she will.
I’m telling you the truth, man.

Even though I'm really gonna
be putting myself out there…

-[Steven] Yeah.
-…and making a fool of myself.

I don’t think she’s gonna reject you
or say anything negative.

I have no doubt in my mind
that Irulan’s gonna take Alton back,

and they’re gonna continue dating,
especially in this

extremely romantic vacation that we’re on.

-I would tell… You know…
-Yeah.

-Life’s too short not to.
-Yeah, you’re right.

You’re right. Yep.
You might as well go ahead and do that.

I'm gonna have to ask Irulan

to go have a conversation.
To go talk, you know?

See where we’re at.

On the bus, when you were like,
to Reuben, like, "Okay,

it’s 18 to 35-year-olds and nothing else?"

-Do you remember saying that?
-[Alton] Yeah, I totally remember.

I mean, he remembers.
That’s what we were talking about, yeah.

You were just like, "Okay, so I think
I should room with the boys,"

And I was just like, "Okay."
You know, like, "I see you."

[Alton] But definitely wrong, though.
Definitely, like, totally not how it was,

-like, intended.
-I mean, if you tell me

that that’s not the way
that it was intended, then I believe you.

I don’t think that you have any reason

-to lie to me or whatever.
-Yeah.

[Irulan] I very much want to believe
the things that he says to me,

but there are certain things
that I've seen or heard

that affect my trust.

I was pissed off at you.

Like, I thought that things were one way,
and I thought that, like,

we were having a good time,
and then all of a sudden, just, like,

in an instant, like, it all just switched.

We’re being stupid,

acting like we don’t care
about each other,

and the whole truth of the matter, like,

is that I care about Irulan,
and she cares about me.

I just miss you. Like,

I do. I miss your friendship
and all that good stuff.

-[Irulan] I've been miserable.
-[Alton] Yeah, me too.

I just know it’d be just 100 times better,
you know?

-At least inside.
-[Irulan] I'm really wrapped up

in the moment with Alton.
He just seems so…

caring and sweet and sincere.

The biggest thing, I think, with me
is just, like,

when we were in the water, and I was like,
"Well, I’m in love with you."

[chuckles] 'Cause I am.
I’m in love with you.

[Trishelle] Alton’s like,
"I love Irulan so much,"

and he’s telling her
that he’s in love with her.

Don’t tell a girl that over
and over again,

and don’t tell other people that,
unless you really mean it.

I respect Irulan, and I love Irulan,

♪ Oh ♪

♪ Hey ♪

-[man] And…
-[Trishelle] He hooked up with two of 'em?

[man] This is what I heard.

Alton… He was with my next-door neighbor,
like, and he wrote her this letter.

-He got with another girl the same night.
-Alton’s telling Irulan

that he loves her and all this stuff,
but then he’s hooking up

with other girls at the same time.
Alton is just playing her for a fool.

-[Trishelle] What did the letter say?
-[man] Like, it was like,

"Thank you… thank you
for the lip service."

"You are really blessed."

"It is such an honor
to meet such a person like this,

-and I am really blessed…
-[Trishelle] Mm-hmm.

[man] …to spend the night with you."

-[Trishelle] Right, right.
-[man] How can you write that…

[Trishelle] That’s Alton.

-[man] But no, like--
-[Trishelle] No, that’s Alton.

Do you know that he’s sleeping
with one of my roommates?

Alton just makes me want
to puke sometimes.

-She’s sleeping with him right now.
-[man] Beats me, because--

[Trishelle] It’s gross.

-[Trishelle] What happened?
-They were just all over each other.

[Trishelle groans]

[Brynn] Everyone’s like, "get a room."

[Trishelle] I told her that he freaking

didn’t come in till 7:00 something
in the morning.

Obviously he was with a girl.
Why else you gonna do that?

I told Irulan. I was like…

"You said you wanted to know,
so I’m telling you."

"Alton didn’t come in till, like,
7:00 in the morning,

and he was probably hooking up."

And she was like,

"Oh, well, I’m not gonna, you know,
look stupid."

But now I’m not gonna tell her anymore.

Because obviously she doesn’t care.

[both chuckle]

[gentle music playing]

I don’t want to go.
I took all these pictures,

like, "This is the pool where we were."

[Irulan] Being here in Australia
seems to be breaking down

all of those walls that we kind of put up

between each other,
and we’re just sort of, like,

chilled out and loving life together,
and it’s nice.

[Arissa] I know we have
to leave eventually,

but I just don’t want to make
any steps away from this island.

I don’t want to leave paradise.

[Frank] I like Arissa a lot.

Now that she’s become comfortable
with everyone else,

I think her true colors are showing,
and she’s such a sweet girl.

Bye, beautiful place.

[horn honking]

[Arissa] We went
to the most beautiful place

that I’ve ever seen in this world.
I thought about a lot of things

on this vacation.

I’m starting to come to the realization
that it doesn’t have to be drama.

Everything will just work out
and be calm and copacetic.

where, like, you could go topless and--

-[Dario] Did you?
-Oh, my God, yeah.

I did things that I never
in the world thought that I would do,

see, experience,
Eat, touch, taste, feel. [inhales]

It was unbelievable.

Like, I’m so happy.

I’ve never been this happy
before in my life.

-[Dario] Yeah?
-Yeah.

A lot of things are changing for me.

I see the world differently,
and I see my life differently.

What are we gonna do?
You’re not ready to pick up

and move away with me.
I’m not coming back to Boston, Dario.

[Arissa] I am in a different place
from when Dario came to visit.

I feel that now I’m not placing
so much of my need for happiness

upon his shoulders.

What are we gonna do?

That’s what I’ve really been thinking
about a lot.

[upbeat music playing]

[Brynn] You guys are both amazing people,
and, like, to get that together

is, like, ridiculous.
Do not [bleep] her over,

and just promise me to God
that you will not.

I don’t have the heart in me
to play a girl like Irulan.

The only place I have in my heart
for a girl like Irulan is just love.

-[Alton] I would never--
-Please.

Only thing I can do with Irulan
is [bleep] myself over, man.

[Brynn] I'm going to Alton to find out
if he did anything In Australia,

because if he says he didn’t…

then he didn’t, and if he says he did,
then he needs to tell Irulan.

Did you do anything with anyone
in Australia?

If I did, all you have to do
is ask Irulan.

-I’m asking you.
-I’m telling you the truth.

-Did you?
-No.

I really didn’t.

If I did, I would be, like, some G.
I didn’t.

Why do I find that hard to believe?

I don’t want to believe
that Alton did it, because,

you know, he’s a great guy.

But I just heard through the grapevine,
and that’s why I came to you

-before I went to her.
-Maybe the grapevine got misconstrued.

I’m Alton. They can’t help
but just see me as what I give them.

They can only process the information
that I give them.

My roommates, they know me as that guy
that’s gonna hook up with all the girls,

and that’s it, and they can’t help it.
That’s just what I’ve done.

I really didn’t
hook up with any girl in Australia.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Irulan] I love you so much.

-[Alton] You what?
-[Irulan] I love you so much.

-Like, I’m so happy.
-I love you too, man.

I do.

I don’t feel that Irulan is really
or truly in love with me.

-[Irulan] This is real, and it is--
-[Alton] Exactly.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

It’s real for us, you know?

How can you be in love with me,
but yet in love with Gabe?

[man] Come over and meet the girls.

Meet the girls? You look great tonight.

[indistinct chatter]

[man] Just real quick.

[Irulan] I'm sitting right there,
and he still feels the need

to go and flirt with six other girls.

When I think about how you can say
to somebody, "I love you,"

and then

turn around and do something like that…

My actions are totally contradictory
to my feelings

because I didn’t feel comfortable
expressing those feelings and actions.

I didn’t feel right. I didn’t feel…

It was too out of my comfort zone,
and I felt so vulnerable.

Do you want to do, like,
a guest appearance on our team?

Yeah, I’ll come and play on your team.

[indistinct chatter]

[Irulan] For Brynn and Mo to sit there
and just be like,

"You are better than this."
"Open your eyes,"

It starts to make me feel like
I just can’t breathe.

That’s what's gonna happen!

-[woman laughing]
-Will my bum be red?

-[woman] Your bum will be so red!
-Will it be so red?

-[woman] So red!
-Oh, my God.

-Yes, it will be done.
-[bleep] that. [bleep] all of them!

The sum total of everything…

Bringing a girl home on my birthday,
what may or may not have happened

in Australia, sitting in a bar
and watching him flirting with, like,

six women in front of my face.

It was just like the straw
that broke the camel’s back.

In all reality--

-[woman] You want to be spanked.
-Well, it’s like this.

[all laughing]

[Irulan] My way of dealing with things
is just to walk away.

I’d much rather just walk away
from a situation that’s driving me crazy

than to deal with it.

You’re crying 'cause I found you here.

-[sobs] I don’t care.
-[Brynn] No, don’t tell me you don’t care.

-[Irulan] I just can’t do this anymore.
-You can’t do what?

I put so much on the line.

-[Brynn] Who cares?
-And I let my guard down. [sobs]

-And I have to tell my boyfriend.
-[Brynn] You’re with friends!

I have to tell him everything
that I did here.

-[Brynn] Irulan!
-And for what?

For what? I am going home.

Like, I don’t need this.
I don’t need to feel bad.

Irulan wants to go home
because she misses Gabe, and…

she can’t be with Alton
because of what he has done to her.

-Look at me!
-Look at my boyfriend.

-No, no, no--
-Look at how beautiful he is.

-[Brynn] No, look at me.
-I don’t want to be here anymore.

[Brynn] Irulan.

I don’t give a [bleep].

-[Brynn] If you go, I go. If you go, I go.
-I can't. I just can’t do this anymore.

[Brynn] Irulan’s sitting here saying
that she’s gonna go home.

I’m not gonna let that happen.

[Brynn] You don’t care about this?

You don’t care about this,
this, or this?

Look it.

Okay. All right, fine. I don’t care.

[Brynn] I don’t want Irulan to leave.

I’m upset. The fact that Irulan
is gonna go home.

-[Alton] You’re going home tomorrow?
-[Irulan] Yeah.

[Alton] Why? Dude,
you’re not going home.

[Irulan] I don’t wanna talk about this.

-Yes, I am.
-To allow anything that I may have done

to make her go home, that's…
that’s just stupid. It’s petty.

[Alton] You’re not going home.
Why are you going home?

[Irulan] I don’t want to be here anymore,
and that’s the end of it.
