Joy, of course, jumps onto this opportunity to razz someone about being a bad person.  She tells Andrea the fact of the matter is that Gene is over honest and Andrea is manipulative.  Andrea’s pissed peeved because she thinks she’s the only one who isn’t manipulative in this damned gosh-darned House of Stereotypes. 

Andrea instead learns the hard truth of the reason you never go to someone and trash talk someone else behind their back to try to jump ship only to turn around and start chastising those very people you turned to for shit-talking.    Immediately, Joy chucks her right under the reality show bus by announcing her desire to transfer alliances because it was a “sinking ship” that she didn’t want to be on in the first place.  She tries to deny this, but Gene steps up because he was there when she said all of this.  Whoopsy-pants!  He asks her if she really wants to go on record saying that and she says, “Roll the tapes!”  So, ABC does exactly that only I wish they did this at the time to the whole house.  Wouldn’t THAT be awesome?  This show would be way better if they actually did that.  Instead, we at home get to see that she’s lying through her well-brushed teeth.  Then, Joy says that she mentioned she felt like she was forced into an alliance she didn’t want to be in and she confesses to that, because she says she did – at the time – feel forced into it.  So, how is that different, you ask?  Well, I’m not totally sure, myself.  She flips out.  She keeps saying, “Roll the footage!” and it’s proved, yet again through sepia-colored tape, that she is being quoted verbatim.

Joy announces that the difference between her team’s strategy and their’ s is that they would never vote one of their own into Liimbo.  Well, except for Jeffy, that is.  Kevin gets all bro’ed out over this and over-excitedly yells that they voted Jeffy which was disgusting on their part and yada yada yada while Andrea gets all giddy that the negative attention is finally off her.  The Friends team keeps telling them that they put him in only because he wanted to go.  It goes back and forth about Jeffy wanting to go and Jeffy being arrogant for volunteering.  This is all getting a little irritating, because I’m starting to not like anyone here.

Nice ‘stache, brofus!

Questions are asked of the housemates.  The first one is for Gene and we learn that he originally went into this game with the now infamous Ron-Ronism – Never fall in love at the shore Glass House.  Well, we all know how that tends to turn out.  It should actually be, “Never start up a relationship with a psychopathic, immature girl who will just run off and pout every time her widdle feewings get huwt.”  Erica responds with, “I beg to differ” which, of course, gets Joy all riled up about being used.  This winds up getting Erica into a little pickle which leads her to let out that she trusts Kevin more than Gene despite the fact that Gene has never voted for her to go to Limbo.  Gene tries to wear a pa-pa-pa-poker face, but you can tell what he’s really thinking…

She’s a helluva’ lot smarter than Joy.

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.

    And that my friends is why there are no other comments on this rant. This is about as tantalizing as a package of ramen noodles for dinner, and that’s insulting ramen. TVgasm? More like TVspasm, like my brain is seizing after reading this pile of moldering filshribble (yes I had to make up a word to describe the paper that this mental emesis just defiled). Thank you and goodnight.

    Wow, MoJo, why don’t you tell us what you really think? I happened to like this recap – it gave me the details of what happened with just the right amount of snark. You can’t blame the recapper if the show sucks!

    Tsk, tsk, MoJo, we’re here to make fun of the idiots on reality television, not each other. You might prefer the recaps over at People magazine. Personally, I’m a big fan of Chris Harrison’s EW blog. Man, he REALLY tells it like it is!

    I thought Mike was Irish, which is why his being a “bar-mitzvah” DJ seemed like so much fun.

    No doubt the Mormon Machine is gearing up to get Andrea into the finals, just like they put the fix on Prop 8. The whole “bring her family in” ploy was just a gambit to generate some sympathy for this soulless drone. I was truly shocked when she basically admitted the only reason she married her husband was for his family (‘s money, no doubt). Her creep factor went up 1000%.

    I can’t dislike Joy. I wish I could, but I just can’t. I mean, I realize she’s whiny and needy. But she also seems to be the most insightful in terms of the others (and I doubt she’s really fooled by Gene, she’s using him too).

    I don’t get the whole ‘webisodes’ part — you mean there’s more to watch than each week’s episode?

    Maybe something happened that we didn’t see, but I am not sure why Erica doesn’t believe Gene. You’re telling me that you believe the guy that made out with you and the next day put you in limbo?

    Be honest Erica. You’re pissed because Gene and Joy have a connection (whether is calculated or not) and you don’t have that with Kevin.

    Personally I am rooting for Gene or Stephanie. So I don’t really care who comes back this week.

    And if these guys don’t think that Joy is using Gene then they are just as stupid as they think she is.

    @Itchy – Ah, you’re right about Mike. I totally forgot!

    @Mojo – I think someone might be a bitter Mormon. Hmmm?

    I can dislike Joy for you Itchy! I can’t stand the girl and the argument that Erica, Gene and Joy had was hysterical to me because Erica had to use the “parrot voice”. Gene is just skating by and using the audience’s perception of him as a strategy, which kind of pisses me off. That tells me that Gene is not being himself, JMO. The only one’s I like are Kevin, Erica, and Jeffery. I wish this show was on more then once a week.

    I thought I would stop watching this once BB started, but I’m a follow-through-er dammit. The only people I even can stand on this show is Kevin and Erika. Can you imagine if these were the people that got chosen for BB?? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    Didn’t catch this epi, so thanks for catching me up, Sugah!

    Mojo, I can’t stand people who criticize the recappers. Shut it!

    The show does sound kind of dreadful. I don’t really like anyone, but I don’t mind looking at Kevin.

    I kinda want Gene to get his, tho, I don’t like cocky, and I enjoy when they get served!

    Joy is annoying, but they all are. But I agree with Itchy that she seemed somewhat ok in the beginning . . . at least as a player.

    I used to work in the office at a mall, and yes, many mall cops use it jump to being real cops and EMTs and such.
    And yes, a lot of them are mall cops for life. Or until they get fired LOL!!!
