Commercial.
We’re back to Drunky at her first day on the job. Long story short, she makes no effort to control the kids or impose any kind of discipline or order.
Do whatever ya want, kids. Nanny needs a drink.
Cindy comes home, goes to work on the patio, and Drunky is supposed to make dinner for the little darlings. She just lets them run outside instead. Cindy shares she thinks Drunky was overwhelmed, but she doesn’t have time to interview new nannies or hold a bunch of trial days.
To her credit, Drunky tells Cindy that she’s more suited to older children, and this isn’t a good fit for her. Cindy calls Kristin and reports on the day, which results in Miss Stick Up Her Ass proclaiming that Drunky’s put her business and reputation on the line. Being honest isn’t compromising your reputation it’s enhancing it, idiot.
Over at the Faulks, where Justin and Marcus greet Heifer and Amanda. Amanda gets a “swimming lesson” from Marcus while Justin is ignored.
Poor overlooked Justin. Always the bridesmaid.
Justin and Heif do seem to be getting along though, so there’s that. We end with Marcus taking Amanda’s number. Will he call? The lack of suspense is killing me.
Breast friends.
Commercial.
Curtis arrives at Lucy’s to talk. She shares needs to understand why he gets so frustrated, and goes on to say it’s been 7 days and 4 hours since they’ve seen each other.
Don’t you want to eat your dinner in a fancy restaurant?
Lucy starts by saying she has been neglectful (something Tricia told her), so is that the problem? Curtis says if there’s a problem he tries to hide it from her. Which is not an answer. She says she doesn’t want him to be angry with her over things like falling asleep, to which he responds “Oh, you’re stuck on that”. HISS! He then says he’s “never dated anybody who’s so busy”. She has what appears to be a part-time job. What “so busy”? Are all the other gals you’ve dated unemployed? Amber says she wants Curtis to feel happy, he says he loves her (note, no interest in her happiness), she says she does too.
If I tell her I love her, will that shut her up?
As they embrace, Lucy tells Curtis he “smells like construction”. I had to rewind to hear that because I was too busy screaming NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO the first time.
At the Faulk home, Justin is helping Lindsey pick out dresses. He’s going to introduce her to some men. Isn’t that called pimping? Just asking.
I’m a fairy princess!

I hope ari gets rid of amber!
Curtis was weird and it was uncomfortable to watch him. Somehow Lucy is looking better these past few episodes. Maybe she would be okay to hang out with but never to work with and not if she brought her boyfriend.
Lil’ Drunky needs to do some soul searching and pick a new career path. Usually gymnastics coaches and such can do the “tough love” thing since they have an actual skill to teach the kids and they dont have to see the kids beyond the allotted gym time. So she is probably alright with kids in that setting… but basically no other setting, especially not as a nanny.
I want to take Justin home with me and make me laugh.
Okay, this show blows. That Cindy chick should try getting her makeup done by someone who knows what they are doing. If someones doing her makeup they are doing a horrible job! She looks like she is in her late 50s now and her eyebrows are in the wrong place! Why is this chick never dressed and looking like trash? What happened to her? Wonder if alcohol plays a part. Those poor children!
Don’t get me wrong, I understand why people find Amber irritating. But I am not why Ari would invite Amber to the party in the first place, since she doesn’t seem to enjoy Amber’s company and Amber’s wardrobe is not up to par?
*not clear, or *not sure.
I agree with Helena.
I feel that Amber, while having room to work on her interpersonal skills, is not mean-spirited or really mean at all. Ari ALSO needs to work on her interpersonal skills AND is mean.
What I wonder is what has Ari done to get to her position in life. The way she spoke to Amber last episode made me wonder if Ari has gone through any type of hardship; did she work hard to get to her current level or marry well?
Also, I couldn’t believe Amber borrowed such an expensive car from her employee! My personal feeling is: if I can’t afford to replace it, I won’t borrow it (without insurance).
Well Nat it is very difficult to lay around naked while someone takes photographs. She was a playboy bunny and I am sure that includes all the daddy issues one can handle.
She married one as well.
Not sure what is going on with Lucy and Chris, but I don’t think we are getting the whole story from her.
Penny I don’t wear makeup either. It seems to disappear from my face no matter how expensive the product.
Please don’t hate me.
What is wrong with drunky? She needs a ‘tude adjustment and learn to speak up to Kirsten and say I would rather help you run the business than be a nanny.
Thanks Penny! Luv your recaps
Thanks to everyone watching and supporting BHN – luv ya! xo
Great recap! Oh the Seinfeld references! The Sinead references!
I am not a fan of Amber but Ari is vile. She (rightfully) disapproves of being so irresponsible your car is towed, but then wants Amber to have designer shoes? How do these women think nannies can afford nice cars and clothes on $30/hr? Also Ari said they were the same age but she is so pumped full of Botox and smeared in clown makeup I thought she was at least 15 years older than Amber. She always looks like her makeup was applied with a paintball gun at close range.
Thank you for pointing out the weirdness about Curtis. I have had lots of tempestuous relationships and fights, but could never describe someone as “yelling at me”. Alarm bells are ringing, Winston.
Does anyone out there have nanny experience/info? These people don’t seem like they work many hours a week so it must all be cash, under the table type pay right? How can that turn into a referral service without the IRS getting involved?
@labowner in the minicap you said something about all the boundary issues.
I think it’s because except for maybe Justin they’re Delusiona. And not just the baby sitters. Which is what a lot of that long New Pain Pill rant last week was about.
If any of them have said anything about career etc goals I missed it. Specially not the goal of going to nanny school. Or teaching or anything to do with kids. That baby sitting would be a stepping stone for.
A couple of them came right out and said they just like being able to look at all the stuff rich people can buy. And maybe get to be around people that know celebrities. Instead of what they’d be looking at if they marked time with a different job. So in other words it looks like they’re just marking time.
Some of them think baby sitting for rich people will make them more liable to catch a rich husband. Which reminds me. @darlingclementine I hope Ari gets rid of Amber too. They’re chalk and cheese. So it’d be better for both of them. Kristin’s a much better match for Ari’s way of thinking.
My guess is most of them must be getting some $ from their parents too. Or from somebody. Because LA’s not cheap to live in. And doing hourly rate jack leg work like that is not the same as getting = or > 40 hrs of that same rate. As the take home number on a check every week. Everybody that’s ever worked jack leg wishes LOL!
@MrsMiaWallace Specially since they’re on tv I bet they’ll all have to put every scrap of it on their tax papers. Along with their tv show $.
@Nat and the Mrs….FINALLY! Folks who see Ari for what she is (an entitled elitist beeyotch)! Thank you thank you thank you.
Oh, and Amber is not a bad person. I’m not sure how she has ended up being a villain. She’s the only “real” person on this “reality” show (even though I adore Justin – he’s really just a character).
