BUCKWILD Recap: The Bonfire of the Hormones


Supposedly, Tyler then gets dared to make out with Katie, but I call BS, because video or it didn’t happen. Anna is the only one who would have made that dare, and they didn’t show that. They make out, and Cara is irritated. She sits down to have a heart-to-heart with Tyler, who asks him if he’s into Katie. He protests, saying he can’t answer that, and she claims she’s just asking as a friend. He admits his crush.

Tyler is letting all the women take control of his life!

Time to go camping! The guys arrive at the girls’ house as we get quick glimpses of the girls packing for the trip. Cara is packing a hair dryer (if you’re really camping, you do not need a hair dryer) and Shae has a big pool inflatable that gets chucked over the balcony by Tyler. Cara is angry that he doesn’t want to bring the inflatable, and Tyler complains to us and Katie that Cara has been acting out at him ever since he started giving Katie his attention. If I was Cara, I’d be annoyed that instead of using his words and asking me not to bring it, he just threw it over the balcony, so I’m Team Cara on this one. 

On the car ride, Katie, Shae, and Tyler play a rousing game of Let’s Bitch About Cara. Meanwhile, in Joey’s truck, Cara tries fruitlessly to stave off Shain’s advances. I kind of feel for Cara. She hooked up with a guy she liked, he began to ignore her and then started hooking up with another chick that she lives with, plus she’s the new girl. This is no time to start making fun of her bleached denim jeans, Katie. Even if you do have a point there. 

They go camping in an area that Shain deems God’s Amusement Park (the GAP?) Cara prances around in the skimpiest bikini ever, the kind of bikini that’s practical when you’re hanging poolside in Miami, but not so practical in the woods by a raging river. Joey hilariously asks Shain if his hair looks alright. Joey tells us that Shain is trying to get with Cara, and he wants his buddy to succeed, but he tells us with a tone that says he really doesn’t think it’s going to happen. 

While everyone jumps into the river, Katie’s stuck on top of a rock that she’s afraid to jump off of into the river, or climb off onto the ground. Tyler encourages her for a little bit, but gives up and jumps in the river himself, leaving Katie to fend for herself, climbing down a skimpy-looking tree, while accidentally flashing her genitals to some very lucky cameramen. 

Back in Sissonville, Anna, Salwa and Ashley have apparently decided to forgo the Couples’ Camping Extravaganza in favor of staying home and talking about what matters most: their boobies. And we are very lucky to have Najee back! They girls are throwing a fiesta, and they invited cute boys over. 

Najee is a good start, but I would tend to classify him more as a gorgeous man than a cute boy.

    I’ll be honest, as a guy, it embarrassed me to see Shain flirt with Cara. That was just sad. Any hook up that happens between them next week, be it a kiss or sex, is going to be just done out of pity. It’s especially lame because Cara’s far from the most attractive of the bunch.

    I also admit that I was stunned to see Shain and his family wearing gloves while making that candy. Even though the promise of seeing Salwa flash her boobs at me wouldn’t convince me to try any of it.

    I went from liking Cara in the first episode to hating her in the second. She was just really rude to Sevgi for now real reason. When describing her as the girl in their relationship, she made sure to say that she was emotional and dramatic and she said them in very cruel ways. Sevgi’s better off IMO.

    I also vote that we include making Salwa a permanent cast member next season too! Far too little of her in these episodes!

    Can we just have a reality show with Shain’s family? I’d totally watch a show about Meemaw Gandee’s candy-making business. Najee and Salwa can help too. I love those two. I think they don’t show them as much because all that gorgeousness makes the rest of the cast look bad.

    Anyone else wondering why none of the girls have accents while the guys have to have subtitles? As a Southerner, I call bullshit on the authenticity of the chicks – the guys, however, are like every fella I went to high school with. Tots agree on the Shain fam show – much more authentic than what these chicks are dising out.

    I might be totally wrong, but I really don’t think Cara went out with Sevgi. I think that is a story she came up with for the show thinking it would get her more screen time. It was more like childhood friends and one of them had to move away. I did not sense any romantic feelings between them, even if it was in the past. Their whole discussion of who was the girl vs guy seemed very scripted and rehearsed.

    Overall, this show is not that bad. I would feel differently if they only showed one episode per week. It is also one of the most scripted ‘reality’ shows on MTV I have seen in a long time. Burying money in the yard while your two friends are there, oh and a whole tv crew? Um, even Shane is smarter than that. I do think a lot of the stuff Shane’s family does is true. They are hilarious. Maybe MTV will take a page out of TLCs book and give the Gandee’s their own show like TLC did for Honey Boo-Boo.

    The one thing that has impressed me with this show is the 3D words/chapter titles. They are pretty cool. I know it is basically a new program MTV bought, but you can tell they put some time into it.

    I am so damn enthralled with these kids. How in the fuck do you forget to take your tent from the camp site?

    Loved the party the girls had when everyone else went camping. Good for you Anna, you deserve a man you are so awesome. And Najee cooks – steak no less. Yummy

    S-Natch I wonder if the girls aren’t more educated than the boys and learned to “lose” their accents. I can hear a slight accent in Anna’s voice.

    Cara was being a typical man in the relationship. She is so stupid she doesn’t see she is taking her anger for Tyler out on her ex?

    Damn season is over next week. I think they are going to do another season since their ratings have been going up.

    S-Natch: Cara (I think) is the one that goes to WVU, right? Do we know for sure that she’s actually from WV? A lot of my friends went to school there and they have a pretty large out-of-state attendance (and internationals too). She could be from somewhere else, but has lived in WV attending college for the past couple of years. I’m not sure about the other girls though. The rest of the girls had that house in South Charleston in the first episode. If they’re from the city, that may explain the less obvious accent as well. The boys obviously live in the country, so their accent would be stronger.

    I dunno what it is about rednecks but they always make a fascinating watch. And of course add the familiar reality formula of a mix of horny attractive coeds and now all of a sudden I’m hooked…plus I’m learning new vocabulary every day.

    Also I thought it was great they played the song “Caged Animals” by Ambassadors when Katie and Tyler go to sleep in their tent and the girls mess with them, because that song sort of describes this show..and probably how Tyler felt in the tent!
