sg-dub, I also love "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Hopefully more people will start watching so it won't meet the same fate as "Arrested Development."

This season of Surreal Life seriously confuses me. I have NEVER even seen/heard of many of the cast. Has that chick done anything other than Playboy and how does that make her a "celebrity?" I'm not an avid reader of Playboy, but don't they have like 10+ naked chicks in every issue??? Wendy the Snapple lady is like a bazillion times more famous than her. Was she busy with Celebrity Fat Club 12 or something???

Obviously the Surreal Life has exhausted the market of b list celebrities. Oh well. Who really gives a shit about this show. Nice recap sg-dug. You got talent.

I don't know why I get sucked into this show every season. Great recap sg-dub! However, I find Alexis Arquette to be some much needed comic relief in a house where everyone seems to think they are greater than they really are (Does anyone remember a band called POISON!) I also think that Steve Harwell is going to put the moves on CC before the end of the show, as he waxes poetically about him every chance he gets.

Is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" actually still on? I love that show.

While I logically know "The Surreal Life" is a terrible show, I can't help watching it. Just like a train wreck.

sg-dub is right about one thing. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is a great show. I'm glad he turned me onto it. I hear they are filming season 2 now.

CC Deville looking forlornly at the alcohol was both sad and funny. Why did they have him on the show? You need to ahve them on surreal life BEFORE rehab, not after. now hes just boring.

Sherman Helmsley and the wreestler dude are complete wastes of space. total borefests. weezy would be more entertaining and shes been dead for 2 years.

youre right about the tranny. Starved for attention because its so talentless.

Tawny kitaen on that car was depressing. it was like the Lucas AFI achenevemtn secial where they had harrison ford, carrie fisher and mark hamill onstage in the same pose as the finale of star wars. Only han solo is 62, carrie fisher is 62, and luke sywalkers face is more pockmarked than the death star.

that playboy girl is not hot. I means, shes Hartford CT hot, but Playboy? Not even close.

So tanwy is "too classy" to go skinny dipping? Either she has a fantasticly ironic sense of humor, or shes a goddamn retard. And my money is on the latter. Methinks the only reason she doesnt skinny dip is she has the body of a frumpy 40 year old ex junkie. For taht at elast, I am thankful.

Oh, EdHill, how naive are you? Do you honestly think any woman who appears in Playboy looks that good in real life? Come on, dude, it's called makeup, lighting, airbrushing- not to mention what computers can do.
Stella, I agree with you about Alexis. And I've seen him/her act and he/she has as much talent as anybody in the Arquette family. Which I do realize is not saying much but come on... And let's face it anybody who appears on this show is attention starved.

So let's all sit back and enjoy watching the train wreck and just thank God we are not living it.

What's funny about Tawny calling the playboy girl a slut for jumping in the pool naked, is that if you saw the preview for the upcoming season, Tawny appears to have some sort of breakdown and they show her flashing her boobs and jumping in the pool naked. Now that's attention starved!

Tawny in that nun habit was really frightening. Her face has become so grotesque and mishapen that wearing anything that features it is a ghastly mistake.

tawny put herself front and center in every shot, I kept thinking, please someone pay her some attention. Oh I hope Flo kicks her ass after the talk show
"Do you remember a band called POISON?" um, yeah, but I don't remember you in it.

great recap, thanks

TAWNY.....get thee to Celebrity Fit Club! NOW!!!
So sad, someone should have told her not to get on that car.

EdHill, you read my mind...this girl was in Playboy? Really? Cause they sure make it seem more selective than that on MTV's True Life.

Man, Carol Brady has NO sense of humor! Why even bother coming on the Surreal Life? And why am I putting any thought into this?

As tiring as it was to listen to Florence implode about the nun outfit, it was even more pathetic for Tawny to think that wearing pink fishnets with a habit is the apex of "outrageous" and "daring." Snore. She and Alexis should live in the same room, where they can "shock" each other in private.

I wonder how Florence can be a therapist with her blind reverence for nuns -- haven't they fucked up more people's lives than anyone, except maybe priests? Does she just tell a patient to leave if their issues are in any way connected to the church?

Watching Alexis do a lap dance was like watching Baby Jane Hudson do one.

This episode was such a freaking yawn. I can't even blame Sherman Hemsley for napping or keeping his ass off screen.

sg-dub - you forgot to mention the fact that Alexis sucked the whipped cream off of Maven and then said something to the affect: "your career is ruined" - I couldn't believe Maven allowed that - that was WAY beyond the lap dance.

As for the comment about Poison, um, yeah, I do remember them. Fondly, actually. And considering they've done two successful summer tours in the last few years, I'd venture to guess a LOT of people remember them. And I know that the LA music scene happens to have a lot of fondness for CC - so I hope this show doesn't cause him to relapse.

And will someone PLEASE slap the hell out of Tawny??? First of all, I never thought she was great in the 80s - and the years (read: all that plastic surgery) have been hard on her. When they showed that final cut of the video, she was in it more than I even thought she would be. DISGUSTING! Who in the heck chose her to be in charge??? ICK!!!

The do you remember a band called Poison comment was in reference to CC introducing himself to Andrea. I was not making fun of the band. I absolutely love Poison.

oh - sorry stella...I misunderstood. :-)
