The real world...
I think we should start
Thinking about fantasy fest.
I've heard that next to
Mardi gras, it's, like,
The biggest party...
Yes.
In the united states.
Fantasy fest is basically
What key west is known for.
This is perfect, dude.
Getting to put on, like,
Ten costumes for fantasy fest
Is so great to me.
I want to be this.
Why couldn't this have
Happened on a different weekend,
You know?
Well, hurricane wilma just blew
Through town.
It totally decimated our city,
But I don't think me, the rest
Of the roommates, or for
The rest of key west is gonna
Let, you know, a little
Hurricane stand in the way of
Us, you know, having one last
Final bash before we leave
This beautiful place.
This is the true story...
Gorgeous, man.
Of seven strangers...
[Laughs]
Picked to live in a house...
Work together and have
Their lives taped.
Whoa!
Find out what happens...
[Gasps]
When people stop
Being polite...
And start getting real.
All:the real world:
Key west.
So they're gonna walk in.
Turn the fog on.
It's gonna fog the booth up.
Lights, the whole nine, right?
I got you.
And then out is gonna pop me
And, I think, paula bronzed
Head to toe, and we come out.
We're all jumping around, like,
All crazy and sh**ting
Streamers, you know?
Yeah.
I have been waiting for fantasy
Fest for a long time.
It's like mardi gras.
You've got people in costumes,
Beads.
All the restaurants in key west
Have different themed parties
Every night.
We're gonna do it once
Per block.
The parade lasts three hours.
Okay.
The pinnacle of the fantasy
Fest experience is the parade
That takes place on
The last day.
This booth takes up about this
Much of the float.
It's not gonna be all covered
With vegetation, but, like,
Mainly just on the corners
Are, like, big tufts.
This float has really--
Has really gotten me excited.
Janelle's gonna be the queen
Fairy or whatever, and she's
Just gonna sit up at the front
Of the thing and do stuff
And look beautiful.
So tyler--what is tyler
Wearing?
Tyler, what are you wearing?
Tyler, what are you wearing?
Next to nothing.
Okay.
I'm wearing mystic glow,
And that's all that's important.
And tons of it.
[Laughter]
Can I talk to you, ricky?
Yes.
So how about across
The street?
Okay.
There's been a lot of things
That I've wanted to say to ricky
For a while.
Before I came out here, I had
Been accepted to go to law
School, and that was my plans
For the next three years of
My life.
Right.
When I gave up my job as
A makeup artist to go to law
School, it took a huge chunk
Out of me, but being here and
Seeing you passionate about
Something that you are very
Convinced about has been very
Inspirational in my life,
'Cause now I feel more confident
About pursuing makeup and
Knowing that if I keep trying
And pursuing it and if I really
Want it, I can have it,
You know?
Because if it makes you happy,
Everything else kind of really
Doesn't matter anymore,
You know?
No matter what you do, if you
Keep trying and you keep doing
It and you keep telling people
You're gonna do it and you keep
Doing it, it works.
For me, I think this has
Encouraged me and sort of
Reaffirmed that success is
A journey.
It's not a destination.
You've touched me with what
You said, and it's made me happy
To hear all this.
Thank you.
Do you mind?
* It's the little things *
* That we do
* That mean anything
So what are we doing first?
Well, I want to paint this.
If you stand that way while
John's painting, blue will just
Fly all over you.
Look, he's acting like, "what?"
Stop thinking.
You're gonna hurt yourself.
Me and tyler are working on
This float together, but tyler,
You know, works for about
Ten minutes, gets sidetracked,
And then there's something else
To take care of, so the only
Person that's helped me out
At all has been ricky.
Where's that gaffer's
Tape at?
He realizes at this point
That without a little help,
This thing's not gonna get done.
Okay.
You've put tyler's glitter
Throwing to shame.
[Laughs]
Okay, now we'll let that dry.
I couldn't ask for fantasy
Fest to be at a better time,
Because it's a celebration.
It's the ending of our
Time here.
Open.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
Close.
Let me see you in
A different light.
Stand up for a second.
[Laughs]
You look so g*y.
[Laughs]
Oh, my gosh.
Aqua's having a competition
Called "sex or next," where you
Get up onstage and take off all
Your clothes and strip.
Okay, look up.
I like this lighting better.
And that night, I decided to
Do drag, so I thought, "well,
What better night?
I can strip out of
A bob mackie."
What time's the toga
Party start?
No idea.
Are you dressing up?
I have to try this--
My sheet on.
Tonight we're going to a toga
Party at sloppy joe's.
Jose, just get a bedsheet.
Get a bedsheet, dude.
That's what I'm wearing.
But you need a--you need
The--the--not that part
Of the sheet.
Nice.
Everybody is looking good.
You ready?
Yeah.
Fitz?
[Cheers and applause]
[People shouting]
Who do we got next?
I got one new contestant.
And what's your name?
Oh!
Johnny bananas.
[People cheering, screeching]
I'm entering this contest
'Cause basically it's a chance
To win a bunch of money.
Yeah!
From southern california,
This is the banana boy.
[Cheers and applause]
All the roommates and I are
Just going crazy, yelling,
Screaming, and trying to make
Sure that he wins the contest.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The winner of $ tonight,
From southern california...
[Cheers]
Yeah!
Whoo!
[Laughs]
After the toga contest,
I'm saying, "you know, guys,
Let's go, because tyler is
Participating in the drag show
At aqua at midnight."
I don't want to go to aqua.
Johnny bananas--
I don't want to go to aqua!
I'll hang out with you.
Where do you want to go?
Anywhere.
This is going off, dude.
We're going to rick's.
Go to rick's.
Go to rick's.
All right, let's go.
I'm disappointed in
The roommates because, I mean,
Once john starts whining and
Crying about the whole
Situation, they all just kind
Of give in to what he wants,
And they do what he wants to do.
* Ladies, say
* La, la-la, la
* Take off
* Take it
* I want to touch that
So, ladies and gentlemen,
Give a big hand for matthew.
[Crowd cheering]
Tyra quan is getting ready
To come up here now.
This is a boy, but he's gonna be
A girl for you tonight.
Give him a big hand.
Tyra quan.
Give it up!
[Cheers and applause]
[Saucy jazz music]
*
Go, tyler!
[Laughs]
Attaboy!
Go, tyler, go!
Go, tyler!
*
[Cheers and applause]
All: wow!
[Saucy jazz music]
*
All: wow!
[Cheers and applause]
Ladies and gentlemen,
Give it up for tyra quan!
[Cheers and applause]
Contestant number six.
Part of winning the
Competition is having the most
Friends there to cheer you on,
So the fact that I only have
Two friends there doesn't really
Bode well for me.
They all went to rick's.
All it takes is for john to
Start whining.
Everybody changes whatever they
Have to do to make john happy.
Well, thank you for being
True to tyler.
Tyra, thank you.
You were amazing.
And we have ourselves a winner!
[Cheers and applause]
The audience carried me
To second place, so I couldn't
Ask for anything more.
That's close enough.
It was close enough.
It was close enough.
I gave them two days' notice
Before the event, and none of
Them showed up, other than jose.
I was a little disappointed
That you guys didn't come
Last night.
I asked jose, obviously, why
Everyone didn't come, and I know
Johnny, like, freaked out, and
I was just kind of disappointed
That you guys would, like,
Indulge in that.
Would you have, like, won
Money and stuff?
Yeah.
I got second, and the reason
I didn't win was that, like,
He had all his friends there,
And none of my friends showed.
Yeah.
And I'm like, "oh, of course
They wouldn't show up," so--
I feel bad.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Zach, could you come here
Please?
I'm disappointed that the group
Was on its way to come see me,
And then he had a hissy fit,
And then everyone went back
Because he didn't want to go
To aqua.
As far as I'm concerned,
I--no one ever had a hissy fit.
No one ever complained.
No one ever said, "I'm
Not going."
I was having fun...
Once--
And the last thing I know
You want me to do is to do
Things just for other people--
Do things for myself.
I'm trying to explain to tyler
That it wasn't john who
Said anything.
It was purely my free will,
Wanting to--
Well, if that's the case,
Then I'm happy, 'cause that's
What I want, in all honesty.
I'm really hoping that all of
Us can finally end some of this
Ridiculous b.s. That's going
Around and just enjoy each
Other, enjoy key west, and be
Part of something that is very
Unique to this part of
The world.
This is gonna work.
Are you getting an audience?
Yeah!
Svetlana, you need to stand
Right here.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Yes.
[Laughs]
[Air hissing]
Yeah!
[Cheers and applause]
Hey!
Yeah!
Isn't that awesome?
That is k*ller.
Love it.
That looks kick-a*s.
It's perfect.
Yes.
Well, john, this is awesome.
Awesome.
[Upbeat pop music]
*
[Laughs]
Are we allflashdance?
Well, no, I'm 's
Aerobics instructor.
Tonight's 's night at
Fat tuesday's, and I decided
To be a.c. Slater for the night.
Zach's take on 's.
[Laughs]
It's really 's.
That is really 's.
*
Perfect.
Aww.
*
We're gonna win.
Well, we need to practice
Real quick.
The rest of the roommates
Have taken it upon themselves to
Enter themselves in an 's
Costume contest.
I guess all this planning went
On when I was outside working
On the float.
No one really let me in on it,
But to be honest, I am not in
The mood to participate in
Something like this anyways.
I'm exhausted.
Cab is here.
Cab's here.
Let's do it up, 's style.
That's how we roll.
Ha!
Whoo-ooh!
Whoo!
Thank you for coming down
Tonight.
And our first contestant--
We need cookie, matt freaks,
And number five is
The 's house.
All: one, two, three, 's.
Yes.
Yes.
First place winner will take
Home $,.
Yeah!
It's bucks for each of
Us, which is a lot more than
What we've been making at
Mystic tan.
That's for sure.
Right now, we're gonna bring
Up the 's house.
[All cheering]
Okay, guys.
Get in line.
Okay.
[Electronic music]
*
It's my time to shine.
I have money on my mind.
I go out there, and I do my best
Rendition offlashdance.
*
Go, 's!
Both: go, 's!
All: go, 's!
Go, 's!
And in first place and
The winner of $,,
The winner of the best
'S-themed costume,
The 's house!
'S on three.
All: one, two, three, 's!
I've been working on this
Float since : this morning.
I asked the roommates, "can
Someone come down and help me
Decorate all these things?"
It's just no one wants to help.
Hey, hit this guy right here.
Hey, get back here.
I cleared a spot out for you.
Over here?
Right here.
Okay.
Right here.
Yeah, I cleared a spot out for
You, man.
Without ricky's help, this thing
I don't think would've come
Together the way that it has,
And he really has come through
When I've needed him, and it
Really means a lot to me.
Let's go.
You're from paradise?
No, no, mystic tan.
Mystic tan.
.
Is paula gonna be able to
Help us on this?
Help you with what?
On the float.
Yeah.
Paula, are you going down to
Help them with the float?
Well, I'll take a cab.
I'll go down there with her.
Are you about to leave now?
Um, okay.
Well, we're gonna have to be
Sort of quick, 'cause we need to
Make sure we're ready for
Tonight too.
I understand that, and--
But we need to make sure
The float looks good.
Okay, well, we'll take care
Of it.
We'll be down there.
Thank you very much, girls.
Bye.
Okay, now I've got--
Got 'em coming.
They were unclear.
I knew from the beginning
That this was gonna be a project
That I was gonna be doing
The majority of the work on.
I just need this to be a success
Just to show everyone else that,
You know, I can do it.
I asked a long time ago,
"Do people need help on
The float?"
Well, the day of, it's not
Working out for janelle's
Schedule because--
Well, no, it--
I have to concern myself
With my costume.
And if you're gonna take
And say, "you know what?
I'm gonna do the float,"
You don't wait till the last
Two days before a parade.
Before you say, "I need
Everyone to help me."
At this point, we all have to
Put our costumes on, so it's,
Like, go help out on the float
Or jeopardize having our
Costumes look terrible on
The float, so I decide I'm gonna
Stay home because I want to make
Sure I look good on this float.
So when does the parade
Start,
:.
[Sighs]
And when do we have to be
Lined up?
We have to be wherever
The float is at :.
We need somebody to help
Paint the name across the float,
Our name.
We need people to help put
Glitter on it.
We need help--people putting
The foliage on it.
I'm just stressed out because
There's a lot of work here.
Well, I'm not--i'm just
Pissed that they weren't up here
Earlier helping you guys out,
'Cause it sucks that you guys
Are stressed now, 'cause you
Know I would've been there and
Jose would've been there,
But there wasn't the car.
There was nothing.
I have been stressed out about
The float since john had
The idea to build one, because
I knew it was going to come down
To the last minute.
Well, ricky, when we get there
At :, will we be able to
Finish everything up in time?
Yes, we will.
All right, ricky, we'll see
You then, okay?
I know that when : rolls
Around, jose and I will be
At the float, but I know--
I know that the roommates
Will not be.
I'll see you at :.
All right, buddy, take care.
Bye.
Thank you.
I'm really starting to wonder
If this is actually gonna
Come together.
I did not expect it to require
This much time and effort.
Brought you something.
Oh, my god!
Barb, I was freaking out.
Dude, I was like, "I don't have
Her number.
I don't know how to get
Ahold of her."
The theme for this year's
Fantasy fest is freaks, geeks,
And goddesses, so naturally,
I chose to dress as a geek.
If you were to marry any planet,
What planet would you marry?
Uranus.
[Both chortle]
We're the best.
You said it.
We're gonna get all the chicks.
All the chicks tonight.
[Both chortle obnoxiously]
We are now all rushing to
Get out of the house because
We know we have to be on this
Float within minutes.
John!
Hey!
Hey, john, what can we help
You with, sir?
It's gonna be a fantasy fest
Marathon.
I don't--i mean, it's just
Stupid, dude.
Like, :--
How hard is it to show up
At
I know.
What's really frustrating me
Now is that the roommates can't
Even show up on time.
I mean, we actually are leaving
The staging area now, and we're
Missing four people.
Tyler, janelle, paula, and fitz
Have had all day to get ready,
But instead, they've been at
Home all day, screwing around.
Come on, let's go.
Tyler, let's go!
We have no idea where
The beginning of
The parade starts.
We're picturing the boys,
You know, fuming at the ears
'Cause we're not there yet.
They're probably, you know,
Thinking we're never gonna
Make it.
This is awesome.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
[Bleep] everything else.
Who cares? This is awesome.
Seriously.
I'm trying to help john
Realize that it's not about
The girls.
It's not about tyler.
This is not about them.
This is about you.
This is about mystic tan.
This is about something that
You've been working on.
Pick up the pace!
Pick up the pace, b*tches!
Oh, I can't run.
My boobies fall out.
Well, we should've thought
About that earlier now,
Young lady.
Knowing janelle, tyler,
Paula, and svetlana's track
Record, I wouldn't be surprised
If we don't see them till midway
Through the parade.
You can't start without us!
Next onthe real world...
Fantasy fest is one
Giant party.
All: mystic tan on demand!
Four months of working at
Minimum wage or less has
Definitely been worth it
With this final chapter
At mystic tan.
Here's a cab.
Oh, my god.
It's gonna be hard to leave.
I guess all good things got
To come to an end.
[British accent] cheers from
London.
[British accent] london.
We come a long ways.
Both: cheers.
And we are here to perform
A performance at fat tuesday's
This evening.
You know what?
London?
Jose.
That's the worst british
Accent I've ever heard.
Yes?
I think my friend cindy
Behind us here is one crumpet
Short of a proper tea.
This is true.
[Laughter]
Bloody mess.
Bloody, bloody mess.
Bloody, bloody.
Cheers.
Cheers to that.
Long live the king.
Long live london, cheers.
London.
