Brad, a sleeveless-shirt-wearing dude from Illinois says goodbye to his girlfriend of four years, jumps on his motorcycle and heads to beautiful San Diego to pick up his new roommate and the keys to the Real World house. He's hoping it's a chick because he doesn't want some dude riding on the back of his bike. Cameran, a 19 year old from South Carolina, waits near the harbor to meet her new roommates and stresses how much she does not like Yankees. No, not the baseball team. This southern belle is talking about the loud people from ""up north"" who wear sleeveless shirts and ride motorcycles. Frankie, a massage therapist from Kansas City, Mo., is 21 and is drawn to skinny, tattooed white boys. Guess there's no chance of a hook up between her and buff Brad. Robin, from Tampa, Fla., is a 23 year old looking to have a good time.

On their second night in the house, Cameran notes that Brad is everything she doesn't like in a guy, but for some reason, she is attracted to him. Jamie, the sharp cute chick, smells a hook up.

She confirms that Brad has a right to brag about what's in his bag.

While the roommates party in the hot tub, Robin asks Jacquese if he is from the ghetto and he wonders ""what does someone from the ghetto look like?""

Jacquese talks to his cousin Calvin about the incident in the hot tub and explains that respect is really big with him. When Jaime and Jacquese are together, they talk about how the two of them and Frankie are not in a clique in the house, but the others have formed a clique. Jaime wants everyone to be one giant clique, but it's not quite working out that way. Jacquese is upstairs using the computer and no one tells him they are going out and he's upset that people aren't including him. Cameran thinks that Jacquese is very sensitive and doesn't think anyone meant anything by not telling him they were going out. Randy notes that Jacquese is a little more introverted than the rest of the group and is being left

The boat crew trainees learn that after only three days on training they will be given a test to see how much they have digested so far. As soon as their instructors say ""test,"" Jaime starts to ask a lot of questions and really puts an effort into learning everything about sailing. The seven strangers are told that if they pass the test, they will earn their salary for the last few days, which will work out to be about $200 each. Star student Jaime is concerned that Robin is going to fail the test because she has not been showing much interest in the sailing. But Robin comes to Jaime for some study help and Jaime is more than willing to tutor her. It's the night before the test and Cameran, Brad and Randy have not studied and decide to put that off until after they go out and party.

Jacquese is 19 years old, carrying a fake ID. Never a good idea, bro. He's turned away from a club that some of the other roommates easily get into. Inside the club Brad and Randy press the female flesh and get their drink on. And get their drink on. And get their drink on. Meanwhile, Jamie calls home to warn Cameran that the doorman is being strict with IDs. When she gets to the club Cameran is denied entrance as well. While Cameran and Robin are standing outside the club, some guys behind the girls starting ragging on them. This behavior pisses Robin off, especially when they say, go back to the ""fake world"".

Frankie wakes up and calls her boyfriend David, who can tell she is feeling guilty about something. Frankie claims she has no recollection of the evening's events, but she does feel a nagging twinge of guilt. Hmm, maybe that's cuz she was rubbing Randy's stomach and blowing on his neck. Meanwhile, Robin calls the house because she does not want to be in jail overnight. Through this conversation, Jacquese learns that Robin hit a Marine. Jacquese tries to help her understand that she's probably going to spend the night in jail cuz they don't have $800 to post her bail.

Robin thinks that she and Randy have a connection (they can, like, talk about the nightclub industry) but their relationship hasn't crossed that boundary yet of getting more intimate. They playfully snuggle, while Jacquese and Cameran can't believe the two of them haven't even kissed yet. Randy explains that both he and Robin need a certain amount of attention from the opposite sex, but he's not looking to get into a relationship and he hopes that Robin won't hold that ""no strings attached"" edict against him at some point.

While Frankie innocently bats her eyes, Adam tells Frankie he can hook her up with some free tattoos while she's in San Diego, but she explains that she has to okay any tattoo artists with her boyfriend Dave, since he is also an artist. Frankie thinks that Dave would be more upset if she got a tattoo from someone else, than if she slept with someone else.
