If you think you've seen the worst of Nia and Jordan, think again. This week on The Real World, she announces to the house that she's writing a book about how to get with an athlete. Nia gets a job with the group at Pizza Schmizza, but doesn't seem to have much interest in working at all. This gives Jordan a lot of ammo to push her to her breaking point, but not before she pushes him first.

Jordan meets Molli out at the bar and the make plans for a date, but when it comes time for them to meet up, she says she lost her debit card and has to go looking for it. Sounds like a blow off to me! He tries her a few more times but when he gets her voice mail, he writes her off and heads out on his own. Molli ends up calling back and gets Nia, who tells her that he's really upset but she insists that she really would like to go out with him. Sorry, Molli. You missed your chance!

The roomies head out for a day of gokarting and Vanessa, Jordan's latest girl, tags out. While Averey spends her time trying to beat the guys on the track, the other girls talk a ton of trash about Jordan to Vanessa. She seems to like him and back at the house, he opens up to her about his hand and feeling self-conscious about it. The night comes and goes, and he doesn't make a move on her. Perhaps he just has too much on his mind.

Things start to blow up between Nia and Jordan when she tells him that he should keep his hand in his pocket and not talk. He fires back later that night, calling her a whore and a gold digger, bites her leg, and spits cereal at her. When he refuses to leave her room, she threatens him, puts her hand on his neck, and brandishes a lamp at him. I have no idea why the producers aren't stepping in to stop this madness, but Marlon is the only one trying to keep some peace in the house. The others just stare in disbelief as the madness continues.

It doesn't look like things get any better next week, when Malon steps up to defend Nia after Jordan makes some comments about her race. Whose side are you on?
