Actually, he didn't "need" her.. Rachel is a nurse and had been taking care of him but stepped aside for Melinda because Melinda thinks she "owns" Danny. Seemed to me she sort of claimed him at the hospital too, when his dad was there for him. I'm not saying she wasn't helpful but I suspect her motives. And I don't think Danny minded, but it looks like her player instincts come out next week and I hope he does hold her at arm's length and let her squirm.

That's true Sea... I guess because he was so happy to have Mel there cuz he's obviously a bit infatuated with her, can't blame him, she's a good talker and she's putting on a nice sweet act for him (okay I don't KNOW it's an act but looks like it), I think her being there for him was what he really wanted and I think most of us like to feel needed, I'm sure she enjoyed that. But of course the true person will come out once the novelty of "Danny" is over for her... True Mamie, Danny obviously can't resist her, can never tell from previews, maybe he gets pisst at Melinda but chances are he'll get over it quick and be back in her bed or his bed or any bed! lol.

Here's a spoiler since this show is done taping anyway. Danny and Mel just moved into an apartment together in the "real" world.

Wow Krit.....that's interesting! Has there only been 2 shows so far? Everytime I catch reruns, it's part of the two shows I saw part of! If that makes any sense!

Was at a party yesterday at my godsisters. Her oldest boy goes to UT and we started talking about this show. He said that they RW kids aren't too well liked on 6th street. They walk into bars thinking they are 'all that' cause they get free drinks and such. The son also works as a bouncer at one of the clubs that the group would come into on Thursday nights (a big night for the college kids) and MTV started doing sort of a racial or demographic profiling thing. This bar had alot of blacks in it, so the producers started telling the bar to not let anymore in cause they wanted the background scenes to look balanced racially.

I think there have been 3 episodes so far. One hour long premiere and 2 half hour regular shows. Am I right?

Everytime I catch a rerun, it's one I've seen! For some reason our weekly TV book that comes with the paper, only lists MTV during primetime, so you have to find when the shows rerun online or just happen to click onto one.

Well, Lacey is going to find herself in some hot water eventually if she keeps talking. I like how she was trying to backtrack her way out of who said what or why they said it. I couldn't believe when Nehemiah told Rachel that she wasn't there! I am glad that he apologized afterwards and realized what he said was wrong.

I what dislike in general is when people say they/we are fighting in Iraq for our freedom. Wrong. Sadam was not a threat to our freedon in the U.S.A.. I find it astonishing thay even those over in Iraq don't realize that. All that said Neheamiah was out of line and needed to apologize. Lacey would make a good spin doctor. I'm pretty sure she knew what she was saying when she went on about who was kissing whom.

Yeah I think Lacey will be caught and shunned for that, but, really, it WAS better for Danny to know. LOL that the previews gave us hope he'd dump Mel and that only lasted for a nanosecond.

Watching2, I'd love to give you a recap but I'm probably the worst person for the job. Even though I watch these shows, it's in one ear and out the other. Lacey was "casually" speaking with Danny about his relationship with Mel and saying he shouldn't fall too hard until he finds out how serious Mel is you know since she making out with girls and the other guy roommate not Neh...can't remember his name. Other roommate was out in front of a bar asking girls for kisses or something like that when Mel came out the group said kiss her and they did kiss a good long time. They both kinda went ewww afterwards. It was as innocent as that kind of behavior could be. Rachel went on and on about her being in "the war" she went on about it a lot saying how no one knows how hard it was. Neh finally said well it's not as bad as being in jail (huh not sure why he said that). Neh pointed out he's against the war. And talked again about being in jail is harder. Rach again went on and on about the virtue of her being in the war. Neh finally said you weren't in the war or there you were a nurse. None of the roommates liked that. They all seemed to say that we ALL need to support the president and the troops. Neh walked away. I don't remember which roommate maybe Lacey??? talked to Neh and said he needed to apologize because she was there and did her job. Neh aggraded and wrote a note to Rach. They forgave each other and hugged. Rachel and Lacy had a conversation while folding laundry. Rachel was wondering how Danny found out about "the kiss". Lacy spun it real well. She said probably one of the roommates probably aid it in passing without realizing...since we all agreed it wasn't a big deal. Ahem...she knew it was a big deal. Oh, they spent some time at their work location learning to work the handheld cameras they'll be using. And Danny had a few scenes where he wasn't using a bandage to cover his eye. His eye didn't look that great. That's the best I could do. adding...After Danny found out about the kiss he was pretty sure he didn't want to persue the relationship. But she wiggled her butt and apologized a good deal. Played semi-hurt and semi- hard to get. At the end of the day he couldn't let her go. He walked into the bathroom while she was washing up and wearing her glasses...he said you look so cute when you wear your glasses they hugged and kissed and he said don't kiss other guys again.

Rachel did not go on and on about her time in Iraq - it was editing for one episode for us to see her and Nehemiah have the argument and then make up - we dont know how many times it actually came up or what sparked it - maybe rachel started conversations, maybe other roommates asked about her time there, her photo album, her boyfriend etc - we dont know and i dont think it was right for them to make it look like she always was talking about it - its a hot topic for today and they are playing it up as much as possible but that doesnt mean it was played up that much in the house. rachel is right about one thing - no one in the house does know what it was like, and neither do I, and its just as important to respect other people's views and experiences as it is for them to respect our own views and opinions - I am not going to question what a person says they were fighting for, just as i wouldnt question nehimah's feelings against the war because both of those are real - they come from those people and whatever opinion i may have on anything doesnt mean i would question the belief another had. Melinda was the one that talked to Nehimah afterwards and supported an apology.

Well I certainly question Rachel knowledge of why American solders are fighting in Iraq. Just like I question (and I’m not sure which of the males) I think Danny said – we definitely should be fighting in Iraq after all 4,000 Americans got killed- I assume he was talking about 9-11. Not only did he get the numbers wrong but it wasn’t only Americans that were killed in 9-11. Sadam/Iraq had nothing to do with Osama’s plans for that day. We went to war with Sadman because of WMD’s. Separate issue from 9-11. I don’t think either of them have their facts straight. I think they are confusing Osama and Sadam. My perspective is that she went on and on and on and on about her "specialness" because she signed up and got deployed. Of course this is just my opinion.

I agree with Lilfair. Serving your country by being in the military isn't neccesarily fighting for our freedom. In Iraq they are fighting for Iraq's freedom not ours. I was shocked that Danny gave 9/11 as the reason for the war, obviously that is what he believes. That being said I also agree that Nehemiah was way out of line and disrespectful and he will never open any good lines of discussion attacking like he does. I was so glad to see him apologize and I think Rachel was really gracious in her acceptance.

i am just saying Rachel said SHE was there to fight for our freedom - you can agree with that or not in terms of why you think we are there, but if that is what she - and anyone else who is there, believes in, then i am not going to question it - this isnt a question of why the US is there (and i agree that Danny misspoke as many do) but Rachel was not saying WE are there to fight for freedom, she was saying that is why SHE was there, and i think she has just as much a right to have that belief as others have the right to differing views. Questioning why a solider is over there, on a personal basis (versus questioning why the US is there overall) is just as wrong as if i questioned why someone was against the war. There are soliders that disagree with the war but there are also soliders that truly believe in what they are doing and believe that it is for our freedom - and there is nothing wrong with either belief, because that is what america IS about - being able to have our own beliefs and views. but guess what .. that is just MY view

I understand your point Legalboxer and I sure don't want to be in the position of questioning anyone's motive that joins the military. I appreciate and admire every one of them.

Thanks for the synopsis and the following comments. I'll be interested in watching how all that went down. I'm against the war, but my nephew is there and I support him 1000%. I don't have to agree, but I will support our troops. And yeah, it's amazing how many people still connect Iraq with 9/11 after there was so much in the news about the 9/11 reports, etc. Thanks for all the comments!

re: the comments on 9/11 - the sad thing is that as much as it is "in the news" the majority of people dont pay attention to the news or they hear hedalines or 30 seconds and just go from that info -

Nehemiah must never watch the news otherwise he would know that everyone in Iraq is in danger 24/7, you don't even have to be a soldier to be kidnapped & beheaded. There is no frontline.

And although I think that this is an important topic why are we bringing up our personal political views in an entertainment forum? Usually one would get modded for that sort of thing and there are forums on this board for this kind of discussion. (I know, I've been modded enough...LOL!)

Not to be a party spoiler - but can we not get the war discussion going in this room too. It seems there are 2 strong views on this debate and it's getting rather tiresome to hear the great debate in every room. There has to be something else that happened in the last episode that we can all dish on.

Remember, there's probably only 15 minutes of fresh "show" each episode, if that.. half hour time slot, lots of the typical Bunim-Murray city scenes, recaps from prior episodes, previews.. so this episode mostly consisted of Lacey letting the cat out of the bag about "the kiss", Danny's reaction to that, DAnny talking to Nehemiah about how Mel's a much different girl than he usually likes, Mel's reaction to being caught and reeling him back in, Lacey deflecting possible blame for "telling", and then the arguement between Nehemiah and Rachel (who hardly had time to go on and on) and then the apology. And of course the obligatory scene of some of them dancing and partying. Ah and a snippet where they got some training in using the cameras for their job. And showing how Rachel's military training leads her to "take charge" and be the herding dog and nag and organize the others to be out the door on time for work, which naturally annoyed the others who probably expect to be the usual RW slackers until they are reprimanded at work.. I think that was part of the lead in to the discussion and argument. I certainly agree that RW has become totally snarkworthy .. the few who come in as thoughtful souls aren't in the majority anymore (I live in the past, missing RW San Francisco, for instance) and usually are not the featured/repeat challenge participants.
