In this week's episode [1] of MTV [2]'s The Real World [3] “Work” we find Devyn [4] (and to a small degree, Sarah [5]) working for Jovani [6], Chet [7] working as an interviewer and an interviewee, Baya [8] (and to a small degree, Sarah) working out at dancing, Katelynn [9] working to launch a website for a local commuity outreach center, Ryan [10] working the guitar, JD [11] working the camera for Chet, and Scott [12] working hard to avoid any camera time whatsoever.
I think this episode answered my question temporal changes in editing [13] as an incident that “happened” a month and a half ago [14]—Baya turned down a chance to work with a hiphop dance troop and only now did someone ask her about it. So to me, it's clear that each episode of the show is “scripted” around a person (or persons) or a theme (as this week it seems to be “work”).
Katelynn, for the most part, is portrayed much better in this episode than last week [15], explaining more about the transgendered process she's going through. And Chet was quite likeable (and he pulls off wearing a bowtie for not being an economist), although his taunting of Kayelynn bugged me.
