Leo, an add-in guy, is a stand-out for wearing skimpy blue speedos in the pool and doing weird sumo exercises in the morning while grunting. His team is comprised of the overinflated egos of Tairhead-Dr. Cox team so he’s definitely out. It rains the entire first night and already stressed out Ali has to lay all her clothes out on the thatch roof to dry, only for it to start raining again. The timing was really priceless as her soaking wet clothes are poured on yet again. God hates princesses.

“I know just how the holocaust feels”

The next morning the winning team gets a “reward” of being forced into ugly clothes and practicing latin dance step together. The “losers” are all spending the day at the pool.

Sometimes it pays to lose.

Jesse (the blonde winner) hasn’t exactly had a better night than Ali anyway since he was so chivalrous he slept in the soaking tub instead of the bed. I bet he would’ve happily traded for a tent.

As expected the girls get to pick between their two guys but it’s advised the guys should really get to know every lady because there is always a chance… meaning there is probably an opportunity for cross team picks. There is also heavy-handed foreshadowing that the tables will turn so I am waiting on the bombshell of 7 new bitches to upset these girls’ superiority complex. Given that news, the day is for wooing!

We find Shauna doing yoga in inappropriate, um, footwear, and Ryan joins because he wants to be picked by her.

This is what happens when you forget about the cameras. Sandals.

Ryan doesn’t seem to notice however and works on his flexibility.

Might have something to do with that tank top and hometown

Ken is making his subtle moves on Yanina to differentiate himself from Desperation Mike. Ken fosters puppies! And asked for a kiss in a romantic way! They see a double rainbow! They are now favorites for the win. Meanwhile, Ginger Jen also sees the rainbow and her conversation with Cockney Carrot Top is far more playground flirting. Yes, she references the Double Rainbow video. No, he does not laugh. Yes, it is awkward because she loves him and he likes her like a friend. Sand ginger horns.

Chase realizes he’s with the most superficial moron there and his competition is better looking so he starts getting on Ali’s good side while she drowns her eyes in kohl. Mike has given up on Yanina in the face of puppies and has now started courting the Zombie Monkey. He wisely chooses to suck the brains out of a coconut with her, genius!

“Don’t worry, I’d never eat a brain underneath  Trump Starter Hair”

Mike then lays it on so thick by asking her to kiss and pressuring for a commitment that she skitters away under a hammock to chuck Zombie feces. Mike is a favorite for going home! The blue-eyed Jason is trying at the last minute to get Ali to pick him by helping her choose her shoes for the elimination ceremony. Friend zoned!

Time for the elimination, Jenny asks if anyone thinks they’re going home:

2 points for honesty. Out of 6,000

As another reward for winning; Summer is allowed to pick from ALL the guys. Although she seemed into Jesse the blonde during salsa lessons she totally disappoints/vindicates me and chooses Dr. Cox! Tairhead is PISSED because she’s left with Sumo Slap by default.

You might think this is bad, but its not blue speedos at least

Yanina obviously goes for her love connection Rainbow Ken. Cina can’t decide between Chase the marine and the bland Jason E, but goes for looks and chooses Jason E. Uh, oh, looks like Jody got the girl again. Ginger Jenny of course chooses Ben and Arkansas Ali opts for the blue eyed bff Jason. Zombie Monkey goes for Yoga Ryan over the obvious loser Christian. But wait! Everyone but Summer gets to swap out if they like! The guys plead their case so of course Mike reminds Zombie of all the coconut brains they ate.

He also unfortunately reminds her of this

    YAY! I am so glad this show is being recapped. I cannot stand Jenny M – but was intrigued by the show. Reading your recaps are BETTER than watching the show – all the snark, none of the Jenny M’s voice!

    I agree that it is “Chase the Marine” show to lose. And I love Ginger Head girl. :)

    I watched this show in its first season last year. The premise itself is fun, and the picturesque surroundings made it easy on the eyes (the nature shots were OK, too, hehe).
    The only thing that I thought was going to keep me from watching the next season, if it ever came, was the fricking Australian host. He was unbearable! I swear he made even that awesome, hot accent somehow annoying. So I was extatic to hear that there is a new host this time.
    Oh, s#it!!!! Beware what you wish for!
    I never suspected that anything could make me wish for that Aussie weirdo to come back, but ‘Jenny’ (I refuse to just call her that as a real name, it sounds like a stage prop or something; but then on her, probably only some stripper name would sound natural) – oh, yeah, she’s it.
    This bit@h’s voice is killing me!!! For the love of all that is good, WHO gave her this job? Did they not realize she was going to have TO TALK?!
    Mother of…, that constant screaching, that incessant ‘humor’ forcing, that delusion of remaining ‘hotness’ are f-ing pathetic.
    I shall from now on call her THE SHRILL. :)

    Polk8, am I correct in assuming that you’re not a huge fan of the host?

    It’s always difficult to know exactly how Polk8dot feels. Such a diplomat.

    Love the recap! I will look forward to it each week. My only “reality” guilty-pleasure was “The Apprentice”, so I’m happy to find this show to take its place. Perfectly summed up as being both less Disney yet less trashy as well. Thanks for the laughs…
    …Oh, and just for the record, Leo was actually cavorting in the pool in his UNDERWEAR, not a Speedo in Episode 1. (Note how they had to blur his package, as his little underpants showed a bit too much when wet – Ugh!)

    Ah, see, I’m a sucker for southern princesses, so that pretty much says it all. There’s something off about most of the other girls’ faces — especially Summer (and her boy hips) and the Monkey Girl, but the Argentinean girl too. The redhead seems kind of frumpy — she’s covering up. But at least her tits seem real.

    The guys are just your typical slab-0-beef reality Ken dolls.

    Also, Jenny McCarthy may be annoying but she at least a bit more animated than the soulless stiff they had last season.

    I watched this show last year and it was my guilty pleasure. I didn’t find the host as annoying as the commentor above and was dismayed to find Jenny McCarthy now center stage – she’s awful. I do think it’s much more interesting than all of the other “dating/love shows” because it shows situations where you have to count on your partner and it doesn’t sugar-coat the results. Last year there were some actual friendships/relationships that developed, according to Jenny, are still going. So for all of you newbies – enjoy!
