Jemmye and Knight's relationship was doomed from the start - she was still coping with a past abusive relationship, and Knight was just interested in being the first white guy she'd ever slept with. The two were abusive to each other, and their drama dragged the entire season down. The fact that they're reportedly still together only makes the whole thing more depressing.
Though they didn't officially get together, conservative, straight-laced Rachel and sociopathic Puck flirted up a storm. It ended when Puck got kicked out of the house, and Rachel ultimately married another Real Worlder, Sean from the Boston season.
Although she had a boyfriend back home, Melinda didn't waste any time in the Real World house. On the very first night, she flirted with Danny and showed him her chocolate starfish. Their relationship eventually ate the show, giving them way more airtime than the other cast members. They got married but have reportedly divorced.
Although Dunbar had a girlfriend back home, that didn't stop most of his female roommates from being attracted to him. He ultimately hooked up with Ashli, who joined the cast when Trisha left halfway through the season. Ashli ended up in a Facebook war of words with Dunbar's girlfriend Julie, and Dunbar ended up doing porn.
Colin and Amaya's passive-aggressive relationship was annoying, although not as annoying as anything that came out of Kaia's mouth. Amaya talked baby talk and made Colin snuggle with her stuffed animal; he was angry at random intervals. It was like every terrible freshman year dorm relationship rolled into one. No wonder Justin quit the show rather than share a room with Colin.

Philly had the chance to be a great season because the kid from Ghostwriter was on it, but Landon and Shavonda's relationship made everything weird. Shavonda had a boyfriend; Landon had a drinking problem. Shavonda said she had a phobia of disabled people. They both had baggage from their exes. Man, that season was boring.
Las Vegas, as I've said before, was the season when the show started to take a serious downhill turn. One major factor was the amount of roommate sex and drama, including the tumultuous Alton/Irulan relationship and Trishelle and Stephen's on-again, off-again hookups. Frank had a thing for Trishelle; Brynn had a thing for Stephen. I had a thing for banging my head repeatedly against a wall. When Trishelle turned out not to be pregnant, the entire world breathed a sigh of relief.
Though they were never really a couple, Stephen and Irene had a weird relationship. He sang songs for her but had a girlfriend at home. Irene insisted Stephen was gay. She ended up leaving the house, and Stephen famously slapped her. They may not have been a couple, but they sure made for some uncomfortable TV.
But we played beer pong next to Frank once and then trudged back to Brighton Beach at 2 a.m.
Do we know if Ryan and Baya are still together? They aren’t on the “worst couples” list, but they flirted all through Brooklyn and announced at the reunion that they were together, and they’re totally cute.
