Real World: D.C.airs Wednesdays at 10pm, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, we’ll be sifting through the ‘Real World Dailies‘ to make sure you’re getting your fill of the D.C. crew. (Tough job, we know, but hey — someone’s gotta do it!)
Emily, Ty, Andrew and Callie helped us break downAshley and Mike's love-hate relationship -- she loves, he hates -- and now Josh is ready to weigh in with his two cents. Strangely, Josh, who's said next-to-nothing so far (but looks to have a larger, Lothario-type role in next week's episode!) seems to think he's partially responsible for Ashley's off-the-wall comments. This, however, does not stop him from casually throwing around the word "bitch." Hear the hot rocker dude explain why he's on Mike's side, then watch him go off on a nonsensical rant about something or other. Ladies and gentleman, he speaks!
Since arriving in D.C., Ty's managed to alienate his roomies (and, apparently, most of you) by dissing religion, blaming Emily for his messy breakup and honing in on Callie's biggest insecurity. So was he serious when he said he wanted to use this opportunity to grow? Based on what we saw during tonight's Real World, we'd have to say yeah.
Instead of fueling the fire between Ashley and Mike, Ty assumed the role of peacemaker, encouraging both parties to "chill out," take a step back and see where the other's coming from. In fact, Ty was such a calming, comforting presence it actually made us wonder: is he really an instigator? Or just a nice guy who got off on the wrong foot?
+ Think Ty turned over a new leaf tonight? Or did he (finally) show us what he's all about? Take the poll and tell us whether Ty's bark is as bad as his bite.
On tonight's Real World: D.C., the girls finally got fed up with Andrew's lack of etiquette/cluelessness about the opposite sex and devised a plan of action to bring him up to speed. While their first few phases of 'charm school' (see above video) included age old necessities, like lessons on How To Butter Up The Ladies (e.g. leave out the words "nice tits") and Conversation Starters (less Pokemon, more "Where did you grow up?"), there were other, less obvious tips to follow that even taught us a thing or two. (What? A two-hand self bra removal always seemed more practical!) Check out five episode highlights from Andrew's adventures in dating, then take the poll and tell us whether or not you think dude's got game...
Were Real World: D.C.'s Ashley and Mike really fighting about whether or not to talk to strangers? Sure, that's what it sounded like on the surface -- but something tells us these guys have been getting ready to butt heads for a while. Fact is, somewhere in between making out at a club (and sharing a pew at church), these roomies went from best friends to sworn enemies.
So what happened? Well, depending on who you believe, Ashley either went after Mike because: a) she secretly disapproves of his bisexual lifestyle, b) it's her way of coping with rejection, c) she really, really likes to fight or d) all of the above. Hear Andrew, Callie, Emily and Ty hash it out in this week's D.C. On The DL, then hit us with your best theories in the comments.
Andrew has a lot to learn when it comes to ladies. Fortunately, he just HAPPENS to have four female roommates willing to teach him all their tricks of the trade! So how long does it take for Emily to school Andy Pandy in the art of seduction? Four steps -- starting with How Not To Be Super Duper Inappropriate Towards Girls. Watch as Em takes Panda under her wing and gives him a crash course in boy-girl etiquette while Mike teaches an important guest lecture on how to "one handedly" unhook a bra.
With all the yelling, screaming and spontaneous spitting that happened during this week's Real World: D.C., we almost lost track of what's really important: Ashley's stance on full frontal nudity. Turns out, the sassy brunette isn't just liberal when it comes to her political views. Before Episode 3 hit the airwaves, she took to the internets to set the record straight 'bout rumors that she auditioned for Playboy. Ladies and gentleman, be advised: everything you heard is 100 percent true.
"Right before I found out I'd been casted [on the Real World], my headshots were sent to Playboy into their general editor," she wrote on her personal blog. "A few days later I got a phone call from a Houston-based producer for the mag. They set me up with a private test shoot with an amazing *female* photographer Mikki Chernoff not far from my place."
So does she have any regrets? Nope, not a one! Ash said she had a blast and would do it again in a second.
"They were incredibly professional," she continued. "[They] made me feel very comfortable and I had a lot of fun ... In my opinion, Playboy is a tasteful magazine that shows women in their natural form beautifully. I feel honored that they were even remotely interested in me."
There haven't been too many fights (yet) on Real World: D.C., but all the altercations we HAVE seen had one thing in common: Ty was always at the center. Whether slamming Mike for his belief in God, hassling Emily for being a free bird or starting shiz with Callie about her weight, Ty's been determined to speak his mind since the start of the season. 'Course, as Em pointed out, there's a pretty big difference between being upfront -- and just, well, being an ass.
So is all that bluntness coming from a bad place -- or is Ty really THAT clueless when it comes to discretion? Watch Emily give her psychoanalysis (reminder: she ballparked him at 80 percent tool, 20 percent good guy), then take the poll and tell us whether you agree with her.
When Ty first dropped the Playboy bomb, Callie was (understandably) shaken up. But while she might've let it ruin her night, she refused to let Ty's callous remark get her down for good. As we saw on tonight's Real World, Callie allowed herself one good cry (okay, fine, maybe two) over the Great Weight Debate before forcing herself to take a deep breath, move on and make the most of her time in D.C.
We caught up with the tough Texan backstage at the Real World: D.C. Aftershow to find out how she shook off her "shock" by shaking her booty with the girls, so listen up -- and hear her explain how she went from pity parties to dance parties without even missing a beat.
+ BONUS: After the jump, find out what Ty had to say about (deliberately) pushing Callie's buttons, then catch the rest of our exclusive backstage interviews with the Real World: D.C. cast!
Apparently, there's been some confusion when it comes to what you can -- and can't -- say to a girl. So we've decided to make it real simple for all you guys out there by writing down four simple rules to live by:
1) Never, ever ask us if it's "that time of the month." Especially if there's a chance that it might be.
2) Don't make fun of us for crying at Grey's Anatomy. It's cathartic.
3) Like football? We don't!
4) We don't talk about your receding hairline. So don't talk about our weight.
Sure, it SOUNDS easy. But, this week on the Real World, Ty gets himself into a whole world of trouble when he tells Callie she doesn't have the bod for Playboy. (See Rule #4, jerkwad.) Check out this sneak peek from Wednesday night's episode and watch as Emily, Ashley and Erika put their personal politics aside to start a bipartisan committee (otherwise known as the "We Hate Ty" club).

Ashley may have less-than-platonic feelings for Mike, but when it comes to Andrew, she's got three words: not gonna happen. Okay, fine, that's a lie. She's actually got SIX words for her sex-crazed housemate, starting (and ending) with "I don't want to f*** you." (Ouch.) Watch as Panda's roomie offers him everything BUT sex on a stick instructs him to "keep the penis in his pants" then proceeds to shoot down Ty's pseudo-serious erotic advances. Swing and a miss, slugger.
