Meet and Greet and Moan and Groan

A diner, in an unspecified town between Taos, and Los Angeles. It's Bible Talk time. Dom tells his roommates that "he who has not sinned, should cast the first stone." I think this is supposed to look like it's in regards to the Sedona Incident, but God knows, Dom could have been talking about anything. Jon says he thought that Dom didn't believe in the Bible. Dom says he believes in the parts he wants to believe in. Jon explains that that isn't quite how faith works. Dom chortles that he believes in the "water-into-wine bit." Jon rolls his eyes. Dom brings up the fact that Tami is Muslim, a fact which stuns poor naÏve Jon for a moment. Dom, in an interview, helpfully explains that the three of them "are very different." Wow, thanks for that! I had NO IDEA. At the table, Jon asks Tami to explain her religion to him, telling her that he's not familiar with it. Let me just say that, although you'd never guess if from Tami's mood swings later in this episode, Jon's request is posited very respectfully. Back in the interview, Dom further explicates the group dynamics by explaining that "Jon is very, very white." Dude, wait until you meet Aaron. Dom sighs that he doesn't think the three of them could be more different "if [he] had antlers sticking out of his head." Oh, hang on a second. These people are different? They aren't the same? Oh my God, now I get it. Because I had no idea. Back at the table, Jon listens as Tami explains her religious beliefs; Jon looks, I think, quite interested. But in interview, Tami says that Jon thinks Islam is "a terrible religion," because Jesus is not involved. Let's just point out here that Jon hasn't said anything of the sort and actually appears quite fascinated by what Tami has to say. In an interview, Jon explains that he's "a country boy from Kentucky, and she's a black girl from L.A. I'm supposed to be prejudiced against her. And I think it bothers her that I'm not. And she's trying to create that." Either she is, or Bunim-Murray is. You figure it out, Jon.
