Latoya insists on an incredibly detailed Google search before allowing Marie to complete the prank.  Her research yields the mention of something called “fish tuberculosis,” which has symptoms that include “loss of scales.”  This subtle hint clues Marie in to the fact that this particular disease inflicts fish, not humans.

Toya opts to sit this one out, but Marie persists in putting on gloves and carrying the fish in a bucket up to Swift and Ginger’s bathroom, gagging all the way.  RomCom and the guys must be the heaviest sleepers ever, because she pulls it off.  Latoya expresses concerns about botulism (which she has written on a Post-It and pronounces ”boat-a-lism”) and tells Marie the guys are going to die and Marie will be wanted for murder.

This girl needs to brush up on her criminal charges, because this seems more like manslaughter.  And aspiring law student Swift will be among the deceased, so he won’t be there to explain it to her.

Marie is confident that the guys won’t know who did it.  You know, because of all the suspects running amok in the house before most of the roommates are awake.

A short time later, Swift and Ginger’s noses start twitching.  They discover the fish and are impressed that the girls would even touch the gross thing.  They close the door and go back to bed.  Ginger thinks they should retaliate, but Swift thinks no reaction is the way to go. 

Meanwhile, Marie is practicing her innocent act and preparing to plant the blame on RomCom the Animal Lover.  (Or, as Marie refers to her, the Lizard Lady.)  Latoya tells us that she doesn’t want to get caught in the crossfire during retaliation, but Marie’s defense is that they (weakly) started it. 

Which would YOU rather wake up to:  closed peanut butter jars, or this?  Take your time and think about this one.  Those with a deadly peanut allergy are exempt from this question.

Marie has finally had enough waiting and climbs into Ginger’s bed to discuss the situation.  They intend to mask the smell with candles, like men.  Marie starts in with her carefully constructed blaming of RomCom, and throws in some faux concern about fish disease.  They head in for a confessional, but deny Marie’s requests to join them.  She listens at the door and seems to hear their retaliation idea of cutting the fish up into pieces and leaving them all over the girls’ room and stuff.

Swift and Ginger chip-clip their noses shut to perform the task of removing the fish from their bathtub, and apparently the smell is still unbearable.  They devise a plan for Swift to distract the girls while Ginger hides the fish for later use.  Marie is instantly suspicious of Swift’s friendly ways and goes to investigate, forcing him to chase her down and hold her back.  She’ll never suspect anything now!  Brilliant distraction techniques, this one.

    From browsing both Latoya and Swift’s twitter timelines the fight is STILL going on. He also did an after show ustream where he said Latoya wasn’t pretty and was a loud mouth while he sat between the legs of various girls sitting behind him (seems he’s trying to push that player image). My initial annoyance with this guy has matured into dislike but we’ll see how the rest of the season goes

    I love this season. They are so much fun. I liked Vegas as well. But I can’t even remember the location of the last season. They were a bore.

    Come on, no one notices Marie slip effortlessly from adamantly blaming RomCom to insisting she saw and remembers Captain Needy being the culprit? NO ONE? They’re making this way too easy for her.

    squeals@the shoutout! Thank you@JudgyWudgy, she point blank blamed RomCom and no one remembered. Marie says ‘oh yea we know it was you…we even encouraged you’, the hell???? The foot thing only got confusing when Swift blamed LaToya, I sat here looking at the screen saying out loud “how is this her fault’? I have never seen a more irrational person than Swift, LaToya took all of the blame that she had NO business taking.
    Thankfully we were only limited to 2 and a half(baby talking Swift) moments of every spinster in Americas’ genre of film. She is so exhausting how could anyone be in a relationship with this girl? Mooshymooshy talk to an iguana(ew)… it was understandable with that little lizard(ew) she found the first day.

    I like Ginger and Marie(she’s a crafty one) they are cute together. When Captian Needy isn’t being…needy he’s an OK guy, did you catch him asking Swift what kind of drugs he was prescribed? I hope Swift lied when he said it was only over the counter meds ONLY to give him a redeeming moment this episode.

    Did anyone else get the impression that Latoya’s mom was making the situation worse than it really was. There was something in her tone that was off. Also, Latoya and Swift were both acting like little kids with huge egos. It was Swift’s fault but Latoya was acting like it was actually her fault but she didn’t want to own up to it. If Latoya hadn’t walked away and just helped Swift it would have been over in 5 minutes.

    Swift is a tiny man. Standing next to Ginger he looked like a 6 year old.

    A great ending to this episode would have been if the roommates had gone out for dinner and they had ordered sea urchin.

    1) I am firmly team LaToya…she didn’t do anything wrong! She didn’t start the prank, she didn’t make Swift jump in the water on the sea urchins, she even went to the doctor with him and offered to pay for it! The only mistake she made was trying to reason with a drunk person…that never ends well! She should have waited until after he slept it off.

    2) So glad to have an almost RomCom free episode!

    Deep question
    How does an Iguana end up on an island? Was it born there? OR Did Farrah purchase it at the St. Thomas Petsmart and then after Sophia painted it with nail polish decide it was too much for her and just carelessly release it??

    This episode fucking sucked. Thank you for making the recap sooooo much better than the actual show, VA. There’s usually one or two a season, and this is only the third episode!!!

    If my foot was hurting, I would let any of my roommates pee on it. I would let the boat guy pee on it. Anything to stop the pain. I agree, too much Swift this episode. It was probably because he was drunk but still…awful.

    I don’t like RomCom.

    Team LaToya, I guess. But I’m biased because she’s my fav

    I’m ready for a Captain melt down!!!!

    The location SUCKS. I think this cast would have so much more potential in a big city. The kids have a “curfew” for production reasons and had to be back before the party even begins in Island Time. Not sure the logistics were really thought out that well.
    At least in Vegas- despite the curfew, the kids got to stay out later as long as they were in the casino that was in there hotel…so basically they could hang out all night.
    Also, way easier to bring potential hookups home when all you have to do is take the elevator up to the room.
    This location is stifling them. Totally sucks balls.
    I did think it was highlarious when Marie convinced Captain that he was the one who pulled the prank.

    @ Captain

    I think ‘the Swinging Iguana’ would also make a great name for a bar.

    @VunterSlaush… I would definitely hang out at that bar. I wonder what sort of specialty drink The Swinging Iguana would have…

    Marie is the biggest bitch. She treats ginger and the whole House like shit. And no wonder ginger is so sctewed up. She messes with his head and basiclly tells him he is not a man about anythin and in her words thats ” not a good look”. Whats not a goodlook is her she looks about 50 with all that drinking she is rude and feeds off other peoples problems and if I was New Jersey I would be embaressed to be from the same place. She was born without sesitivity and compassion gene and its sad how she treats other people espesially ginger. The only genes she was born with is the ME ME ME gene. So Sad!

    She’s from Staten Island.

    I’m super confused by people who choose to hate Marie when they have the option of Trey and/or Laura. Yeah, her personality is an acquired taste but I by far find her to be the lesser of all evils.
