A premonition of bad things to come for NYU's Parisa
Real World Update

Issue date: 11/15/07 Section: Features
This week's episode of "The Real World: Sydney" was all about bad signs. Isaac saw a blackbird, which he said is an ominous premonition. He couldn't have been more correct.
At their job at Contiki Tours, the cast was split into two competing teams for their upcoming task. Parisa was paired with the perplexed Isaac under team leader Trisha. The forced association of Trisha and Parisa, considering their tumultuous history, was definitely a sign of bad things to come.
Around the house, Parisa and Kelly Anne noticed that the newest roommate, Ashli, had been flirting with Dunbar. Given Dunbar's wavering loyalty to his girlfriend, pledging to be faithful but often coming dangerously close to cheating, Parisa thought Ashli's advances could be a recipe for disaster.
In the end, all of the roommates' bad omens came true. Isaac's grandfather passed away and he quickly left Sydney to be with his family, not notifying his roommates. Ashli made a fool of herself going after Dunbar at a bar. And, by looking at the previews for next week's episode, it appears that the inevitable Parisa-Trisha throwdown takes place as well. Stay tuned!
