So for this week's Trashy Fridays, we will continue with the amazing journey of our four virgins from MTV's "Virgin Territory". This week we continued with Kyle, Dominique and Luke, and we were introduced to Anna, which made a very entertaining episode. So let's get to the trashiness!
First, let us have the pleasure of introducing Anna, a 19 year old virgin from Florida. Now unlike the other characters in this show, Anna is, well, she's a slut. Anna hasn't had vaginal intercourse, which is her only definition of sex. She does everything else though... which is one of the reasons she has this title. Anna shares with us that she previously had a boyfriend named Parker, and she cheated on him with a guy named Alex, who she's now interested in. Anna hangs out with him a lot, asks him to sleep over, and they party together, etc. She shares that she wants to take their relationship to the next level and tell him she really likes him, but she's afraid that the relationship that they have will become awkward if she tells him her feelings. Okay, first, I really do not like Anna; she is like a tease, she fools around with people, it all disgusts me. Unfortunately, we have to see her in the next episode. The preview for this week said someone would lose their virginity, and I thought it would be her, but she keeps it. I really do not understand this girl's morals on anything.
Next, we continue with Luke's story. So, first he says that he must keep up his grades so he can get into med school, and he explains his Catholic school's weird rules (you can't hug a girl more than 5 seconds, you can't kiss in public, no girls are allowed in the boys' dorms...) For this reason, many of the students go to parties off campus to get in touch with the ladies. Luke goes to a party at a hotel and meets some girls. There, he reveals that he doesn't think that a bj is sex, and that he's had a few, but he must save sex for his wife. Ugh, I hate guys who do this, it can't be both ways, seriously!!! (NO SEX=NONE OF ANY KIND!!!!!!) Luke ends up hanging out with this girl later on (I never caught her name, nor do I care), at a snowboarding place. She reveals that she's interested in being more than friends, but might not want to get involved with him because he is a tease (and he agrees that he has a bit of a reputation). Well, I got a vibe from the preview from last week that Luke wasn't a great guy, and this episode proves it.
We also had the return of the best cast member, Dominique, who has stayed true to herself throughout the show. Dom goes on an adorable date with Sain again, to a place where they can just paint together, and she really likes him. She is so excited about her dates that she tells her family. I think Sain and Dom are the best couple. Sain is willing to waiting until Dom is ready for sex, and I think he's a great guy for her. Dominique shares that she is confident in her sexuality, and tells us how to fight sexual urges (use your fingers, pray, take cold showers). At the end of the episode, she is able to see her mother at her grandma's house, and confesses that her pickiness is due to the fact that she had to go through her parents divorce by herself. Dom's mother consoles her and lets her know that it's okay to let people into her life.
Lastly, we have Kyle, who decides to go back to Rhode Island to visit his family after the semester is over. Kyle first talks to his mom, who is actually surprised that he's still a virgin. He tells her about how hes planning to hang out with Amanda, and his mom says she'll buy him condoms (to which he responds that he doesn't like condoms, but, um, how would he know?) Amanda, who is my favorite person that isn't a star of this show, comes over with wine. She and Kyle go in the hot tub, which is kinda crazy because it's snowing. Later, Kyle skypes his douche friends for tips on getting to the next level with a girl. Amanda and Kyle go ice skating together, and she again gives it to Kyle; while tying her skate, Kyle jokes that he must be careful not to cut his balls off with the blade, and Amanda says "Well, you don't use them." Lol, I love Amanda! Amanda then invites Kyle over for the night. Kyle is super awkward, but Amanda is understanding and accepting. He gets a condom and turns off the lights, and the next time we see Kyle, he isn't a virgin anymore.
So as I got to the end I was like yes, Kyle will be gone now that he isn't a virgin anymore! Then, the preview comes on and guess who's on the next episode? Kyle. Apparently they got rid of Dominique, the best person ever, and replaced her with a new person. Why keep Kyle when he's not even a virgin anymore..?
This week we are also briefly discussing FYI's "Married at First Sight". This show features three couples who were paired up by matchmakers and first meet each other at the altar, on their wedding day. They agree to get married and stay married for five weeks, then they can decide whether or not to get divorced. It's a strange concept, described as a "social experiment", but it makes for an interesting show. The episodes feature all three of the couples getting to know each other and facing issues in dealing with specific situations, such as the wedding night, the honeymoon and moving in together. There is also commentary throughout by psychologists, sociologists, sexologists and others.
From the beginning we see that Cortney and Jason have a connection, and it is clear that Monet and Vaughn have a strong physical connection on the wedding night. However, Jamie and Doug do not look promising, as Jamie admits she is not attracted to Doug and refuses to let him touch her in any way. She warms up to him over the course of their honeymoon, but they are still the couple with the most distance between them. Maybe that's a good thing, since Monet and Vaughn were the first couple to be intimate and they seem to fight more than others. But Jamie's initial resistance to getting close to Doug seemed strange to me (I know we can't expect her to be into him right away since they were complete strangers when they got married, but you would think she'd be less hesitant since she, ya know, signed up for this show..?)
As for the realistic-ness of this series, I think it seems more realistic than a lot of "reality" shows, though it doesn't seem completely natural. Maybe that's because it's scripted (even if just slightly) and maybe that's because it's about complete strangers who just got married. Though one thing that doesn't lend much credibility to the show is the fact that Jamie has been on ABC's "The Bachelor". It could be that she has just had such little luck in love that she needed to try multiple TV series, but it seems more likely that she's just making the rounds on the reality show circuit... Only time will tell, I guess.
