Parisa and Trisha will get into a fight; Trisha leaves; Ashli replaces her

It's been quite a few seasons since a castmember on the Real World was replaced. If you think about it, it's only happened a handful of times: Beth A. replaced Irene and Glen replaced David in Los Angeles; Jo replaced Puck in San Francisco; Charlie replaced Frankie in San Diego. That's right, it's only happened four times. If you think about the actual number of people who left the show early or momentarily and were never replaced, there's Melissa (Miami), Irene (Seattle), Justin (Hawaii) and Ruthie (Hawaii) whom all left the show earlier than scheduled or in Ruthie's case, went to a treatment program for alcohol mid-season.

It's happening once again: Trisha (Sydney) either decides to leave or hits Parisa (Sydney). It's not clear at this point what exactly happens, but tensions between the two are heating up, as you see for previews for tomorrow night's episode. The trailer makes it seems as if Trisha runs up to push Parisa.

In the past, whether it be on Challenges, Road Rules, or the actual show, the policy on hitting or physical contact has been varied. Stephen (Seattle) actually slapped Irene (Seattle) while she was leaving the house and the rest of the cast was able to vote to keep her in. Brynn (Las Vegas) threw a fork at Steven (Las Vegas) and while he demanded at first that she leave, he rescinded and decided to let her stay. Gladys (Latin America) was immediately sent home after attacking Abe (Latin America), with no intervention from the cast, who later asked if she could back to the show. Steven (Las Vegas) was immediately sent home for slapping Shane (Campus Crawl) during the Battle of the Sexes 2. So, the policy has varied.

The incident which instituted a "no hitting" policy was Steven and Shane. So, by virtue of the fact that Trisha pushes Parisa (as we see in the trailer) she could be immediately sent home. Nevertheless, Trisha does go home midseason.

Who is her replacement?

Sydney Episode #10: The house takes sides in World War III: Parisa vs. Trisha

Last night's episode begun with Cohutta (Sydney) maintaining that he and Kelly Anne (Sydney) didn't do anything. Trisha (Sydney) also tells her boyfriend that she is flirting with the local, Alex. Later that night, Alex is flirting with both Trisha and Parisa.

Alex writes a letter/poem to both Parisa and Trisha. The two compare notes and it creates tension between them. Shauvon (Sydney) says that Parisa is asking for drama, but Trisha should not care. Kelly Anne says that Trisha should back off.

Meanwhile, Parisa gets the feeling that Alex isn't romantically interested in Trisha. At the bar that night, Cohutta (Sydney) saves Kelly Anne from two local drunkards. Cohutta saves the day.

Kelly Anne calls her friends back home and finds out that her boyfriend is seeing other people. Kelly Anne tells Cohutta. Trisha begins flirting with other boys and goes out to Cargo Bar with some of the other locals. Parisa and Alex get closer that night. Trisha says that Parisa doesn't understand "Girl Code" that when a girl hangs out with a guy first, she's marking her territory.

Shauvon claims that even though Trisha has a boyfriend, she has dibs on Alex. Trisha calls Parisa an idiot for going after Alex and tells her to "watch herself". Isaac (Sydney) even weighs in on the conflict, telling her to back off Alex, even if he has a boyfriend.

Later that night, Alex tells Trisha that he doesn't like Parisa. Then, Alex rates Trisha a six, a seven. Shauvon gets rated a six and the two are furious. Cohutta gets extremely annoyed. Parisa tells Shauvon that it is ridiculous that she's hurt over the rating, from two drunk guys who were teasing her.

That night at the house, Alex and Parisa make out. Isaac says that "Team Drunk Girl" will get Alex, that if Dunbar gets drunk, he might get Alex. Parisa feels bad that she made out with Alex. So the house is abuzz that they made out. Then, Trisha takes Alex outside, and makes out with him. Shauvon tells Parisa. Then, Parisa walks out with Alex, gets his number, and makes out with him once again.

Next time: World War III starts as people start taking sides on "Team Parisa" and "Team Trisha". While Kelly Anne seems to side with Parisa and Shauvon seems to side with Trisha, the argument comes to a head as Cohutta and Isaac defend Parisa over a grilled cheese sandwich. Glasses are thrown, words are exchanged. Don't miss it.
