Is Swift condoning cheating on women!?

That's what it sounded like.

I knew Trey wouldn't man up and break it off. He never intended to. I was in a situation where I liked a girl but I knew things wouldn't go further. Instead of dragging it around I told her I had to cut it off. It is not easy, you want to string her along and have your fun, everyone likes being liked but man, if you really care for that person, you have to let them go. It isn't easy, it will hurt but you gotta do it. That's the most upstanding thing to do. She hated me for it but she will get over it. She will find somebody else and move on. The hard part is not caving in and going back to her because you want that attention. That's an adult decision.

This was a great epsiode. Too bad nobody watched it. Season is picking up but the viewers are already gone.

I knew he wouldn't as well. I'm disappointed in Laura. I was hoping she would just end it and move on. Honestly, it's tough watching her willingly put herself through this crap each and every week.

Trey is such a manipulator. And Laura is an idiot. They deserve each other.

LaToya: Preach! Probably my favorite cast member. Brandon: WTF, my feelings on him have done a complete 180, it's making me confused. He's gone from the most attention-seeking emo ****** to one of the most mature people in the house. I guess that AA really is doing him some good. It's sweet to see him be there for Robb. Speaking of... Robb: Woah. Dethroning Brandon (and in close competition with Trey) for the house title of Person with Creepiest Issues. I'd like to know what exactly has gone on in his life that's turned him into a closet self-mutilator (I say closet since he only does it when uninhibited due to alcohol). Marie: Another one whose image is changing! Gah! She was cool at first, but now she's coming across as a selfish *****. Not a fan of her this episode. Trey: A legitimately terrible person. Let's review. Mad at Laura for drinking. Mad at his baby mama for drinking, and for daring to consider going on a date with anyone else, despite the fact that he's continuing to sleep with Laura. Is too selfish to break things off with Laura when he has a chance. BTW, did anyone notice that when he listed all the reasons he cares about his relationship with Laura, EVERY single one was a way that Laura benefits him? Every single one. This guy is the most selfish ********* I've ever seen. I cannot believe Laura can't see through it. This guy has a LOT of growing up to do before he will ever be a legitimate man. Laura: Sad. Swift: Who?

I think Brandon came in wanting to play a character, but it is hard to play a character 24 hours a day for months. He has come off as likable in the past couple of episodes.

I like how this dude claims he gets a bad edit. No, you're hooking up with your roommate while yelling at a girl back home that she can't date anyone. What a fool

Trey is such a ******* *********, right!? No "bad edit" here....just a bad, terrible, despicable human being. The part where he was talking to Brandon about Robb/Marie and talking about how sad it was that Marie couldn't make up her mind - Laura walks in - and he just BLATANTLY DISMISSES her.....wooooow dude. I almost laughed out loud because it was such a perfect example of his *********gery. I'm starting to feel really old watching this show. That said - I really like this group of people, with the exception of Trey, its a shame that the location is so limiting. Stupid idea, BMP.

hahahah I love that girl

Trey/Laura...Honestly Both of them are pathetic. Robb-Stop Hurting yourself! Brandon-I like him now slowly becoming one of my favorites in the season. Latoya-See Brandon. Marie-She's horrible. She needs to decide what her and Robb are going to be. Swift-I like him but him Condoning cheating in that clip just made him go down in my book.

Word.

Trey makes me really mad, so hypocritical...I hate how he makes Laura feel guilty when this is his choice to make. And he said he was gonna end it but of course he didn't! Poor Laura, although she should have put a stop to things too. She has more fun when she's not with him! She knows the situation and when she gets hurt the blame is on her too. Love love love LaToya!!!! Robb scared me this episode, I feel bad for him and hope his relationship with Marie gets more clear. Brandon is getting likeable, definitely seemed in the beginning as though he was very attention seeking but I like how he was there for Robb this episode. He seems to be the one that people can talk to lol. Swift...don't love him don't hate him, but he kinda annoys me sometimes. Marie, come on I love you and Robb...they were so fun in the beginning.

Afterbuzz is KILLING Trey and Laura. Man, these two get put through the ringer every episode now.

Rob With Two Bs (Real World, Connor), 25 points: Once in awhile things happen on these shows that just aren't cool to joke about. For example, this week Rob With Two Bs on Real World punched himself in the face, real hard, three times in a row (25 points). I hope he works his **** out. It was pretty gruesome. Can we get back to the Bachelor Pad, please? Yes? Good. Trey (Real World, Simmons), 20 points: Trey cried this week (20 points) and HATES it when his girlfriends drink. Just to prove it, this week he was a **** to both of them. Yes, both of them. Marie (Real World, Simmons), 8 points: Marie the International Heineken Smuggler got slammered (8 points) and started crushing on a rich dude in a Rolex watch. Since when did this whole Sugar Daddy/Gold Digger thing become so shameless? Curious, I did extensive sociological research into this and found that it all can be tracked back to the Destiny's Child song "Bills Bills Bills." Laura (Real World, Lisanti), 5 points: Laura cried because Trey yelled at her for being drunk and fun (5 points). Trey HATES fun.

Hearing Marie and Trey comment on each others relationships is comedy gold Jerry

I really wish they'd stop throwing in those random Laura/Trey confessionals. They're not cute. They jut trigger my gag reflex.

I just can't seems to really like anybody this season...they are at best okay I guess...also my opinion about some did a real 180 since the beginning, while I never understood the wuss about Laura (disclaimer: still don't!) On the other hand, I was quite fond of Marie ...and now my list would look like this.. 1) Latoya: Appreciate her sense of humor and she seems to have her heart in the right place. Still does not leave a lasting impression though. 2) Robb: Seems to be a solid dude. Definitely still in his party phase, but seems to have a deeper side too. 3) Brandon: I guess a few steps ahead of Trey in the whole "facing the issues" agenda. Was pretty annoying at the beginning. Getting more bearable and sane. Though, I wonder if coming to the RW as a recovering addict was the right choice.. Yeaaahhh, probably not. 4) Swift: Tad delusional but okay. Can be pretty annoying. 5) Trey: I for one can understand his behavior (hell, I like to think, I can understand the way most of them behave...I am a psych grad after all lol) While I do believe that he is a decent enough guy, he has so many underlying issues that he does not face front-on, that they simply get the better of him, which result into his possessive or defensive behavior...*note: NOT a fan of his behavior and would have slapped him silly a long time ago, as would have any other person with an ounce of self-respect (yeah I am looking at you Laura) but I think some of the things that are said about him are a bit too extreme. 6) Laura: Oh boy, where do I start... The thing is, she is probably a perfectly sweet girl but everything she does makes me cringe at this point, mainly because I just do not like clingy and "weak" girls and her wanna-be player aka fee-spirit status is also quite questionable.. She is just a girl who wants love and comfort so bad, that it makes her look borderline pathetic.. 7) Marie: Like I said before I liked her pre-season... but she just seems to get more self-absorbed, grim and drunk every episode... no wonder, she is besties with Frank after all:) (ps. she reminds me REALLY bad of the one person I hate with every fiber of my being..so I am probs a little biased:) I hope things pick up in Portland again even though sadly I believe this franchise has run its course..
