Next stop, Mormon.  He asks her if she should be on reality TV if she’s Mormon, because she’ll have to lie and the Bible says not to lie.  Well, she’s Mormon, so it’s more of the Book of Mormon you’ll want to quote to her.  Then he asks her what her husband would think of her sharing a room with Kevin.  She gets a little flustered defending herself.  I can’t, for the life of me, understand why these people are falling into his pitiful excuse for a trap.

Alex ventures back into the kitchen to harass Joy.  They get into it and Alex pushes her even further.  He has a ridiculously transparent smile on his face which indicates to everyone that he’s trying his best to piss her off.  Then, he asks if she’s going to cry and she takes off to cry. 

Ah, tears get me every time!

Erica is next on Alex’s lame hit list.  He tells her she’s a fat cow, should stick to one-pieces, and takes too many dumps.  She handles it like a badass, which instantly makes her my favorite.  It’s like drawing water from a stone, so he leaves. 

Alex stops off at Robin’s room to preach about how everyone is weak.  He can’t even keep his “secret” for 2 hours.  What a douche.  Meanwhile, Joy tries to give Jacob a pep talk in hopes that Alex will go home and not Jacob.  Apollo steps in to do his card wizardry and the person up for sacrifice is Ashley.

The walking, talking stereotypes are off to vote.  They use an Xbox Kinect and do cheesy moves to cast their votes.  I guess every other idea has already been taken.  I say they drop a name in the toilet and flush it.

Apollo, being the nice guy that he is, sticks to his word and votes for Ashley to go. 

Kevin votes for Alex with a golf swing.

Holly votes for Erica.  I guess she’s threatened by the massive ta-tas paired with humble self-confidence.

Alex votes for Ashley with a stupid ass DX pelvic slam.  I’m kinda’ hoping Triple H comes in and DDTs him.

Joy votes Alex. 

The votes are tallied up and presented to the players.  Two votes for Ashley, one vote for Erica, and the rest are for Alex.  Thank God. 

Jacob and Alex descend to Limbo together.  Immediately after they leave, we are told that Jacob decided to leave the game.  That’s funny.  He goes down the tubes with douchey Richie Rich and winds up leaving of his own will?  I’m willing to bet Mr. Highland Park paid him to leave.  Alex doesn’t need the money – he wants to be famous.  As we can all see, this fame thing really works out well for reality stars…

I usually don’t participate in these voting thingies on TV shows, but I definitely went on and voted for Alex to go home.  If I have to hear “baby back bitch” or “Primetime 99 Alex Stein”, my head is going to explode.

To be honest, aside of the fact that Jeffrey has been edited to be a total stereotype, I really like him.  I also like Erica, Apollo, and Robin.  Maybe the others will do something to make me care or hate them.  I hope so, because I want to be entertained.

What did my lovely Gasmii think of this show?  It might become interesting, but I’m thinking there won’t be a second season.  Tell it to me, y’all!

Until next week, my loves.

Sugarbush xoxo

About

Hi, there!  About me...well, let's see.  I like to think of myself as an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in a mystery.  Sometimes my personality doesn't even reconcile in my own head.  I'm a really caring and sensitive person, but I have a dark, dry, sarcastic sense of humor which tends gives the impression that I have no soul.  I am married to a great guy who shares my sense of humor and we have a son who, both fortunately and unfortunately, has his mother's personality.   I'm an independent contractor who works from home and keeps the kid all day, everyday.  I've loved to write my whole life and have big, never-to-be-achieved dreams of one day writing a book.  My favorite past time is laughing, which is what brought me to this site.  I can laugh at almost anything, so beware.

    So far, I like this show better than Big Brother. I like that the viewers have so much power. Was the challenge in their outside area? It seemed like it was still inside a larger building.

    I sadly don’t think Alex will be going home. He was being a total tool, he reminded me of Stiffler from American Pie. As annoying as Alex is, he did call the Mormon out of the lying. Maybe I don’t know enough about her religion (and religions in general), but saying that it is okay to lie just because it is a game seems like a huge double standard. Isn’t that like a Muslim saying it is okay to eat pork because they are at a luau in Hawaii?

    Wonder if CBS is doing some recasting of Big Brother to get a better cast before it starts this summer. Trying to fill the different stereotypes that ABC didn’t cast.

    I haven’t watched the show yet, but damn that guy is an old-looking 40! Isn’t he? Please tell me he is!

    @maryedith: I believe he said he was 48 or something like that. Which probably means he’s 51.

    Thank God, (and sarcasatire). I didn’t want to think that’s how I look on camera.

    Sarcassy&MaryE, I agree! He looks Oh. El. Dee. That’s why I mistook him for the granddadude from RPDR. Men usually look more youthful in middle age (did I just say that?) than women which is why I agree about BS on his age. Mid-fifties.

    Haven’t read past Sugarbush’s comment that Alex has way too many teeth. His toothy smile totally creeps me out–who smiles with ALL of their teeth showing? And he does it so quickly, like he’s practiced in the mirror all of his life. Maybe his self-named “Prime Time 99″ tag is his way to showing us all 99 of his teeth at one time!

    So far I like Robin, Eric, Stephanie, Jeffrey and Kevin. Gene is growing on me since he seems to have dropped his “Hollywood” nickname.

    Jacob was just a sad, stupid little boy. He looked just like the Stuart character from MadTV and claimed he walked away from a three year modeling contract? Modeling what? Onsies?

    I’ve already talked about Alex and how pathetic his villain routine was. Good riddance and I hope he doesn’t come back. Go home and see if daddy can buy you a law degree. “Highland Park doesn’t hang out with Oak Lawn.” Good one, Sugarbush!

    There have been a couple of things that have been found out about two of the contestants that are kind of interesting. First, Stephanie’s husband died suddenly a couple of years ago. So she gets sympathy points from me for moving on with her life after losing her spouse so young.

    The real bombshell is that Andrea had posted pictures on Facebook of her and her family (including three young kids) protesting in favor of Prop 8. It will be very interesting if the subject of gay marriage comes up to see if she’ll be honest about her opinions or not. But most of the people who watch the wepisodes and poll know about it. I don’t think she’d survive a vote if she wound up in Limbo.

    All in all, this is kind of a lame show but a good warm up for Big Brother. I’ll just do some stretches and see how long I can last. Thanks for recapping this mess, Sugarbush!

    Sounds like a clusterfuck.

    I actually watched this show online solely on the basis of your hilarious recap – you made it sound like a dumbfuck version of Big Brother, and sure enough it was!

    I like most of the people on the show so far. Kevin is hot and I loved how smoothly he shut down the dancing ape Alex. Apollo is adorable but I don’t think his schtick will last long on reality TV. I’m 50/50 on Robin so far, she could either be cool or become the resident ‘alpha female’ bitch. There is NO WAY Holly is 21 – 31, maybe! It’s nice that the women are generally cool and not immediately sniping at each other like they tend to do on this show. I like the giant stunt man as well.

    Alex is indeed pathetic and obvious. He reminds me of “Evil Dr. Will” from Big Brother if he had a full frontal lobotomy and got smacked in the face with a shovel a few hundred times. Epic reality TV villains can get under people’s skin in a subtle sneaky way, making them turn against each other – that’s entertaining. A grinning fool running around throwing schoolyard insults in people’s faces is just irritating. The people getting angry and crying about his transparent trolling are even dumber than him; have they never seen a reality show before? Gah. If he doesn’t get voted off I’ll probably just stick to reading your recaps.

    Making girls cry does not make you entertaining or epic.
