BUCKWILD Recap: The Bonfire of the Hormones


As night falls, Joey, Shae, Shain, and Cara go to the Gandee family cemetery to go ghost hunting. The guys concoct a reason to separate from the girls: they’re out of beer. The girls hear noises and trip over a couple of things, and start to get a little freaked. Especially when they see someone “down in the graveyard in a mask.” Shain and Joey pop out at them and they just laugh and tell the guys they’re cute. Then Shain’s mom jumps out at them in a while costume, and scares all of them. 

Between this and Shain’s parents convincing Joey last week to treat Shae like his girlfriend, I’m convinced that they’re the ones who should be starring in a reality show. 

Joey and Shae wander off to have some couple time. Cara flirts with Shain, telling him that she could tell he didn’t like having Sevgi around, and wonders what she can do to make it up to him. As he’s talking her into a kiss on the mouth instead of the cheek, Joey pops out from behind the truck and scares them! Ha! Then the boys wrestle and prove that they don’t need Cara or Shae, they only need each other. 

Next week on the season finale (!): Katie frets about Tyler’s intelligence level and whether or not she should introduce him to her family, Ashley makes the moves on Tyler at a bonfire which he later denies to Katie, (jeez, he’s going to get around to everyone, isn’t he?) and Shain breaks his nose at the All New Best Slip ‘N Slide Ever.

So what do you think, Gasmii? Did Cara singlehandedly set Feminism back about ten years tonight? Are we ever going to hear from Anna’s hookup guy again? What age is Shain, psychologically speaking? And, most importantly, should we start a petition to make Najee a regular cast member for next season? Let me know in the comments and check back for next week’s recap!

    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!
