Romances on a show like 'The Real World' (Wed., 10PM ET on MTV) are very challenging. It's hard to successfully develop a bond with the heightened reality created by the cameras and all those roommates.

Adding alcohol to the mix just makes it worse. Adam is a violent drunk, too, which is another warning flag that a relationship may not be a great idea.

At least he was limited to punching walls this week, but the way he went after them was still very dangerous and a little frightening. Especially if you're between him and the wall, as Nany was at one point.

Part of Adam's problem probably stems from the fact that he thinks more of the connection he's shared with Nany than she does.

"That's not my problem," she kept saying when others tried to solicit her to help corral and control Adam which came across as an indication that she didn't care about him at all.

When he lashed back at her from another room, though, Nany lost her own cool. So maybe she does care a little what he thinks after all. The difference is she'll remember every word he said, where he'll be lucky to remember where he is when he comes to the next day.
