Food For Thought - Real World Key West, Episode 2
by Clicker
What do you do after a gruesome night of tears and tequila?
Go out to eat, of course. At least, most of the Roomies do. They decide to leave Paula behind and let her sleep off her rough night – not that she would have wanted to eat anyway.
While at breakfast, Svetlana and some of the roommates express how worried the are about Paula and they try to figure out just what might have been her so hysterical the night before. "Have you ever just met somebody and just sensed they are deeply, deeply, deeply saddened by something?" Svetlana asks.
"I'm deeply saddened by your feigned interest in this," Tyler says sarcastically.
The cat fight breaks out between the two.
Back at the house, Paula is in the confessional. She can't figure out why she got so out of control and yelled at John when she got drunk. She doesn't want to be labeled as the "girl with issues" but that may be too late.
Later the gang decides to go to a Studio 54 night at a gay club. Svetlana doesn't want to go because she thinks it will be a bunch of young boys hooked up with old guys. Or at least that's what she tells her roommates. The argument seems kinda week. Even Paula says she's disappointed in her.
The other roommates don't seem overly eager to go either, but are willing to give it a try, even John who tells the camera he's never been to a gay club before.
When they get to the club, John goes wild. It's drag night and John is up on stage dancing with some of the drag queens, letting them slap his behind.
But soon he tires of the drag scene. And wants to hit a more hetero place. He asks the other roommates to go with him and Tyler gets upset that everyone agrees to go. He thinks it's all peer pressure. But he leaves too. John leads the gang to an Irish Pub. In less than 5 minutes, Tyler and Janelle decide to go back to the gay club. And Zach wants to leave too because he wants to dance.. So the gang splits up.
Back at home, John and Tyler get into a verbal fight at the pool because each of them feels the other didn't give "his" bar a chance. Janelle tries to smooth things over by saying that she just wanted to hang out at the gay bar and didn't want to be "convinced" to do anything else.
To which John replied: "I'm glad everyone "convinced" me to go out with homos tonight and not my own peeps."
John and Tyler continue to fight and fight and fight.
Janelle talks to Tyler separately and finally makes him realize that John made all the effort that he could by just going into a gay club and should get some slack for that.
Tyler agrees and apologizes to John. They hug and it's all good.
That night in bed, Janelle and Svetlana are talking about Paula and the fact that she is taking diet pills that she bought over the internet.
Paula gets drunk the next night when they go out, but this time she just gets drunk and wild instead of sad and weepy. She's so drunk that when they get back home she just spreads herself out on the floor and the guys wrap her up in the carpet and carry her to the side of the pool.
She and John have a heart to heart where she asks him to get rid of the cigrarette he has behind his ear and he says he will if she promises to eat every time he eats the next day. She does agree to go in and have a hotdog – with no bun. He is happy to just have this baby step.
The next day, the roommates are sitting around the kitchen and John asks Paula if there is ANYTHING that she likes about herself.
"You're so negative toward yourself and I don't know why," he tells her.
All the attention proves too crushing for her and she starts one of her crying jags again.
Right as she starts to hyperventilate Janelle pulls her into the pool room to talk and persuades Paula to get some professional help.
Too bad for MTV. I'm sure they are hoping to milk this for a whole season!
