Maggie, for her part, knows what’s really important in life: she wants to know if Katie has come clean to Tyler about her Twilight obsession. Tyler exclaims that he’s obsessed too, and Team Jacob to boot! Tyler politely helps Maggie with getting the dessert from the kitchen, and Ladonna takes the opportunity of being alone with Katie to gush about how wonderful he is. Tyler walks in on the conversation, which leads to an awkward moment, and Katie interviews that she’s glad he passed the Ladonna Test, but she’s still not sure how she feels about Tyler, herself, but it’s a step in the right direction.
I do feel though, now that I’ve been made aware of Katie’s obsession, that I understand better the attraction she has to Tyler. I think this is as close as she’s gonna get to Taylor Lautner in West Virginia.
When they get back to the car, Tyler goes in for a celebratory kiss, and Katie pushes him off so that she can explain to him she doesn’t want to be just another number. She tells him that this was important to her, which yes, but why is she trying so hard to make him commit to her when she’s still not even sure she wants to be with him? Anyway, he assures her that she’s not just another number; she’s only number 45.
Joey and Shae are hanging out at Shain’s house, and she tells him she’s hungry and she wants to go eat. The catch is though, she wants to drive. Joey shoots her down, but we all know where this is going, right? Can we just get there? Anyway, Joey drives Shae through some mudholes while she tells us that she’s determined to drive the truck. Is it his gearshift you want control of Shae, or something else? Shae, as she did while camping last week, shows remarkable insight into the human condition. She realizes that if she asks him “What are we, anyway? Am I your girlfriend?,” then just to avoid answering the damn question, he will agree to let her drive. Good one, Shae.
I’m capable of manipulating a 4-wheel drive AND a man’s psyche! Woo!
At Shain’s house, Shain’s dad has asked the guys to stack some firewood for him, but instead, for some reason, they are tossing it in the general direction of Shain’s poor cute little pig, Bacon.
Word, Dale. I feel the same way about your son.
Shae asks Tyler about the dinner with Katie’s mom, and he says it went alright. Shain’s dad takes the opportunity to rib on Tyler a little bit about having a girlfriend. Ashley asks in a weird post-production voiceover if the guys want to have a party that night, because she’ll bring “the girls.” I hope she means Anna and Salwa, because I’m really missing them in this episode! And as soon as I wrote that, I realized we’re talking about Ashley, and she probably means her breasts. She asks Tyler if Katie will be mad if she brings the girls, and he tells her to shut up – he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Shain pulls a Shain and has a conversation with the only creature equal to him in intelligence – the pig.
If you like it, spread it!:

Katie’s freak out was absolutely hilarious. It reminded me of that chick who would always scream during the Denver season of The Real World.
Tyler has got to be the dumbest person on the planet. Or he is legit mentally challenged to ask Ashley to not tell anyone when there are cameras IN HIS CAR! At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe he forgot about them, but no he’s a moron.
I also think you worded something wrong. The pig isn’t equal with Shain intellectually. I’d bet everything I own that pig is way smarter.
I demand to see more Salwa in the next season! It drives me nuts that she’s obviously there for everything, yet they never put her on TV when she’s stripping, not that I’m complaining. I just want to see her more often. Also the fact that she was willing to drink the deer juice in the bonus episode won her some points from me. That took guts.
Excellent recaps Dashley! Can’t wait to see what you’ll have to say in the future!
Why was Cara even involved in the Tyler/Ashley/Katie discussion? She was acting like she was the victim in the whole thing. I was just waiting for Tyler to tell her to shut up because the entire discussion did not involve her. Did anyone notice how Tyler’s forehead injury was subject to the MTV edit. The editors wanted us to believe Tyler had dinner with Katie & family, then the next day slept with Ashley. I am guessing it was edited for drama. Like Tyler and Ashley slept together earlier in the filming but it wouldn’t add anything, so they kept it around until he started hooking up with Katie. That is why the producers had Cara there, because they were not sure where they were going to edit it in when they finished editing.
I think the ‘holler’ is owned by Shane’s family, ‘holler’ is like their farm/compound. I think Shane and Joey live in that one place together, Grandma Gandi down the street, Ma & Pa Gandi on the other side. MTV should do ‘Gandi Holler’. That would be epic. And lot of subtitles. Is
I looked up a British reality show on Wikipedia and it was labeled as “a structured reality television series”. That is the classiest description of scripted heavily edited ‘reality’ show.
Thank for for the great recaps. Hope there is another season, soonish.
Anyone else notice that when Joey was driving the back hoe thing (sorry, I don’t know what it’s actually called) he would have facial hair in one scene, then the next scene it would be gone, then back again? It’s like MTV isn’t even trying this time. Haha.
Salwa was busted over the weekend for possesion with intent to sell for heroin and oxycodone. She was found hiding in a shed with two guys who were not featured on the show. Here is a link:

Caligal…..I saw that too!
There were some internet rumors a few weeks back that Courtland (Teen Mom Janelle’s scumbag) visited someone from Buckwild on this way back down from Michigan……and supposedly the police were tipped off about a car with Michigan plates was delivering the heroin to Salwa and her crew. Coincidence???
either way…..heroin and oxy are bad news. I am afraid for her, what the hell?
OH MY GOOOOOD thanks for sharing Caligal. I predict that this is going to make Ed cry.
I am sobbing indeed! Oh Salwa. Why’d you do it?!
If true Caligal that is effed up and twisted. What really sucks is she is looking at a felony. Will not be easy to get out. Salwa do that stupid shit here in California – we have so many criminals you could be out in a day or two if convicted.
Ed – she needs a knight in shinning armor……
Let’s hope Najee was not with her.
Dashley – (speaking about lost footage episode) I can’t believe the amount of hair Anna lost in her fight. WTF woman. Where was Ashley and why wasn’t she apart of the lost video? Same with Katie.
Carol your explanation of the Holler would help me with the living arrangements. Didn’t I see a “Joey and Tyler’s place”? If so why didn’t they ever film there? Where did Katie drop Tyler off after dinner at her place?
I must be old fashioned because I would not be okay with Ashley and Tyler. Where is Ashley’s loyalty to her friend?
They own SUVs, so why were the girls cramped in Anna’s car for the trip to Blue Foots?
Okay, Labowner, I’m going to do my best here:
Oh, it’s true about Salwa. Yikes. And as far as I can tell, Najee was not with her, because he’s been tweeting all day (the rest of the cast too) about not judging good people until you have the whole story. Salwa, meanwhile, is silent, because she’s in jail.
Yeah, Anna is like the Hulk and Bruce Banner. She is the most logical, levelheaded one of the bunch… until she’s got a little alcohol in her, and good God, someone better have a tranquilizer gun handy. Ashley was probably off somewhere staring creepily as a couple was about to have sex (see: Shae and Joey), wishing she was a lesbian (see: Cara and her ex), or screwing a friend’s boyfriend (see: Tyler and Katie.) Ashley is seriously creepy guys, I’m not even kidding.
I suppose it’s possible, as Carol suggests, that the guys all live in the Holler, but what I do know for sure is that Shain was living with his parents and Tyler and Joey were sharing a place, but I don’t know where that place was. And they did film there – remember when Shae woke Joey up to discuss the state of their relationship?
I have a feeling no one is okay about the Ashley and Tyler thing, but they all have contracts with MTV to live happily ever after by the end of the season. It’s possible, again like Carol suggested, that Ashley slept with Tyler back before he had even met Katie’s mom, but even still it’s gross and weird that Ashley wouldn’t be upset about it until Katie found out and got angry. But they all have to play nice if they want to stick around – the producers of this show clearly want a little drama to happen, but not so much that it takes away from the fun of the crazy stunts and redneck lifestyle.
How’d I do?
Awesome Dashley and don’t forget the weird, lame party, drunk guy Ashley brought back with her to the house. I wonder if either she is sowing her wild oats (I had a crazy, hey who else can I screw summer) or she is hoping one guy will stay after she puts out. May be daddy is out of the picture. There is something wrong with her.
Love Anna, I just can’t believe how much losing that much hair had to hurt. I take it the dark color hides that massive loss? That was a good couple of inches of hair both ways. OUCH
Crap Najee keeps getting better. Damn you man.
We’re not dealing with brain surgeons here. They gotta do what they gotta do to get paid.
I wondered how Salwa was the seemingly the only one with her own trailer.
I just saw this: http://perezhilton.com/2013-04-01-buckwild-shain-gandee-dead#.UVnhMoUQ07A
It was also reported on CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/01/showbiz/buckwild-star-death/?hpt=hp_t2).
Shain was found dead! He was one of the few from Buckwild that I actually liked. As dumb as MTV reality shows can be, his family seemed very close and real.
I am guessing there will be no season 2.
