So, Stephanie is in a giant bird’s nest and she’s tossing the eggs to a suspended Andrea.  Andrea then tosses the egg to a suspended Ashley who then tosses the egg to a suspended Kevin.  Kevin then has to toss the egg into a house.  Jeffrey and Joy are directing the suspended players with hanging ropes.  The first two eggs are dropped by Kevin.  Finally, they get it together and Kevin just throws the eggs into the next house he can get them into – no real strategy, he claims.  Ashley screws up the next egg badly.  They throw Ashley’s egg into a $1000 prize house.  They’re done and I’m surprised by the kindness shown towards Ashley.  I’m so damn gullible, because this must be some sneaky strategy.

Now for Ali P’s team.  The order is Ali P in the nest throwing to Holly, then Gene, then Mike.  Robin and Erica are directing.  There’s really not any order going on.  They’re just throwing to be throwing instead of trying.  Gene’s having a hell of a time catching or throwing which leads me to believe that Ali P is going to use that as a way to convince the rest of the housemates that he’s trying to throw the game.  Finally, Mike catches his first egg.  They seem to get their shit together and score the rest. 

Ali P’s team completed in 5:54 and Ashley’s team completed in 3:48.  So, Ali P is going into Limbo hopefully with Holly.  Ashley’s thrilled to win and get $1000 for her birthday.  She’s a little boring, but I’m starting to like her.  At least she’s not a bitch.

I’m wondering if they’ll all team together against Gene.  I think some will play on the idea that Gene might have been screwing the team over on purpose.  When I watched Gene on those misses, it wasn’t on purpose.  Holly threw two passes short and Gene got a little overzealous on his two missed throws.  And, Mike won’t be getting into the NFL anytime soon.

He looks like Tony Romo trying to catch a snap.

So, Ali P pulls Erica aside to discuss voting.  He knows she’ll want to vote for Holly because they have beef.  Ali P starts to campaign against Gene.  I KNEW IT!  He tries to get Erica to believe that Gene threw the challenge on purpose.  Erica sees this for what it is which I love.  Gene walks in and Erica asks him straight up if he threw the game.  Ali asks him if he’s such an athlete, why was he involved in every single failed pass?  Maybe because he was in the middle??  Gene doesn’t like Ali P questioning his integrity.  The argument gets heated as Ali P gets at him as much as he can.  As Gene walks out, Ali P questions his abilities as a stuntman.  Well, I’m an idiot.  I really did believe Ali P was a nice guy, but he’s obviously playing the game now.  Gene takes the bait and I’m sad about that.  He doesn’t get why catching balls should have anything to do with falling off building and being set on fire.  As they argue, I start to wonder if Gene ever does stunts for actors like Angelina Jolie or Nic Cage.  That would be damn funny. 

Ding Dong.  Stephanie has to squeeze her 5 gallons of oranges and transfer packing peanuts one by one across the arena.  Andrea has to blow up 500 balloons, and Jeffrey has to peel 200 hard-boiled eggs.  Jeffrey preps with flair, meaning he puts on a crocheted shawl, a satin kerchief, lipstick, shades, and carries a creepy old-people decorative doll.  That’s a little kooky.  Not much creeps me out more than a big man with a beard wearing lipstick.

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!

Gene wants them to have a house meeting in the living room.  He wants to talk about this idea that he threw the challenge and hear from everyone who is accusing him.  Ali P jumps all over this.  Gene was involved in all the drops, his best friends are mostly the people on the other team, and he knows he is safe from Limbo.  Erica, always the voice of reason, notes that anyone who was in the middle would be involved in the drops.  Holly’s celebrating the fact that the focus is off of her for the moment.  Don’t get too settled, bitch.  The housemates still don’t like you.

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.

    Yo Holly if you’re gonna lie, at least have the knowledge to back it up. Dumbass! And the answer to who painted the sixteenth chapel is – probably the same company who painted the fourteenth and the fifthteen chapels….
    I don’t like Ali P he looks like Dr. Spock and everybody knows you can’t trust a Vulcan!

    I loved, loved, LOVED that Alex was totally rejected. Probably his first time–definitely won’t be his last. And just for sh!ts and giggles, I’m saving the photo of him going down the tubes to enjoy on my desktop for a while.

    @ChaCha – the look on Alex ‘s face was priceless!! I floved Kevin ‘s impersonation of him – spot on.
    I’m starting to like this show!

    Isn’t 16th chapel the same mistake Beiber made on Letterman? Way to go…

    Why not just say your a business major Holly? That’s easy to cover.

    Ali P you leave Gene alone! I like him. And really viewers you would vote Holly back in the house? Why?

    Has Ashley been on another show? She looks familiar

    I haven’t seen this one yet and am still deciding whether or not I want to with Big Brother just around the corner. Since I haven’t seen it it’s entirely possible that I’m completely wrong, but could she have said the Sistine Chapel?

    @Tadow – She meant the Sistine Chapel, but she said the Sixteenth Chapel pretty clearly. I listened a few times just to be sure.

    Actually, Holly probably does know who painted the Sixteenth Chapel – they should have asked her that. It was that one guy that did that thing on that one bridge, right?

    I just can’t get up the energy to watch this show. They should have stocked the pond with prettier people, is all I’m saying.

    But you people already know how shallow I am.

    @Sugarbush, totally unrelated to this show, but any Dorian Lord reference makes me a fan of your recaps for life. As a soap fan, putting her in the same

    @Itchy, no love for Holly? I thought about you when I saw her, but I wasn’t able to figure out if she had the fake boobies or not. (Not my strong point)

    If she’s on a reality tv show, there’s a 75% chance they’re fake. But I’m just not interested in this show. It’s too much of clone of Big Brother, but even more half-assed. Just one show a week? And they get to leave on the weekends? What’s the point.

    What?!? Leave on the weekends? So are they not sequestered?

    Admittedly, I haven’t been paying much attention to this show. But from what I understood, they were allowed out of the Glass House on the weekends — whether it’s to be sequestered or not doesn’t really matter.

    Wait…I’m not OK with this! They leave on the weekends? I think it’s not nearly as interesting if they aren’t stuck with each other 24/7.

    I lost a bet to my friend – he said Holly would say either Dr. Phil or Dr. Oz. I went with Dr. Scholl.
    We actually started on the artist question – he said Warhol. I went with Draw Something.

    Apollo’s “card” strategy that I am sure he thought would be seen as brilliant … wasn’t. His trash talking of Gene was transparent and lame and desperate.

    Well, I’ll be the odd man out and admit it, in this episode I began to loathe that blonde bitch. Yeah, Holly may be a dumbass, but Erica can go suck on a corndog and choke on it. I abso-fucking-lutely HATE the type of raging bitches who go all “OMG, you’re like, such a bitch, I’m like, totally walking away from you right now because you are so not worth my time and totally important presence”. I hope she stumbles and crashes right through one of those glass walls and gets the broken shards so embedded in her skin that any light could turn her into a fucking disco ball.

    Okay – I just watched both GH in a row (that’s Glass House, not General Hospital). Alex looks like one of those faces that happens when you look at yourself in a distorted mirror. His eyes are freakishly open wide. I’ve never seen someone smile and talk with so many lower teeth showing! I don’t know how people can stand him back home. that being said – he will probably pop up on another reality/contest show. Ugh.

    Poor, poor Holly. It’s haaaard being so beautiful. And the Sixteenth Chapel – I thought I heard it wrong!!

    And if Gene DID throw the challenge…hmmm.

    finally – I can see that ABC is editing this show to within an inch of it’s life, desperately trying to find a likeable villain, goof, handsome guy, brainiac, etc. that’s why Ashley is getting a bum rap. She’s the ghetto bitch. Good job being racist, ABC. Please. I hate ABC. Except for Revenge and Once Upon A Time.

    I’m late on reading recaps, so I’ll just post what I was thinking after reading the first show recap now, and then read THIS recap and comments. Thanks for the recaps, BTW…I so pity you :-(
    Thank JEEBUS Big Brother has nothing to worry about. This lame-ass show will never see its second season, as has been pointed out. I can’t wait for the REAL Big Brother to start.

    Cheesy as it s, I’ll watch it for the recaps. I like Stephanie (she’s nerdy-smart-hot…I really like that). I also dig Erica, the hilarious gay guy, the cop, Gene, and the older chick (I’ll learn names soon).

    Andrea (thanks @kczar) can shove Prop 8 where the sun don’t shine. NOW I have someone to really dislike, since douchnozzle is gone.

    I decided after the first episode to not watch this show because of Alex. Now that I read he actually did get eliminated, I’m thinking it might be worth watching this thing after all.
