Songs From the Big Chair -

Wow, can you believe it's been only a week since the last Brat Camp? Yeah, well, it's acutally been two weeks because last week was a two-hour Peter Jennings retrospective. Thanks for paying attention. But in that two-week period we haven't exactly been brat-less (or is it Brat Camp-less?), because our troubled teens have been all over the news. First lovely Jada plowed a speedboat into a family in MA, and then "Angry Punk" Isaiah was caught scrawling racist epithets on a neighbor's home. Something doesn't make sense here. I mean, they were given hippie names! What else could they possibly need!? Yeah sure, I suppose you could go the "traditional" route and say that "years of therapy" would work better than 40 days in a commune being followed by a camera crew, but that would just prove that you're a total square who just doesn't get it, man. Now pass the doobie.
This week's episode starts with the camp counselors, "Flying Eagle," "Mother Raven," and "Honey Pie" (Wait that last one is actually a Beatles song; I meant to say "Fire Bear") deciding who can stay and who can go home in time for the Holidays. Holidays? In August? Perhaps they are referring to Labor Day, or the Celtic holiday of Lughnasadh? Or maybe even the International Talk Like a Pirate Day? (Celebrated every September 19th in my household without fail. Arrr matey!) Of course not. Remember, we are on reality TV time where everything is 4 to 6 months behind. We're talking about Christmas 2004.
