They sit around and drink champagne while I pray they don’t take a trip in the plane. They hop in the plane, but luckily just for her to play around with his cockpit. Austin talks about wanting to keep seeing her after boot camp is over. She’s cool with the Boston vs. Texas thing. The date ends well with them making plans for the near future.

In group, Elizabeth earns best of the week. Mom wanted to hang out with her even longer and didn’t want dinner to end. Elizabeth is truly touched by this and starts to cry. I wonder how many tears it takes to release the glue holding on those gigantic fans of eyelashes these reality show women wear.

Danielle has to watch feedback from Dad, who is not impressed by the way she handles herself. Richelle likes her OK, even though she can’t cook for shit. I’m surprised. As a sister myself, I wouldn’t have liked her at all. But, of course, I’ve had to watch her for the last several weeks.

Next up is Mom’s feedback for Stephanie. She wasn’t impressed by the food at all. She has named it “Stephanie Special”, because it certainly wasn’t like hers. I guess Steph left out the cyanide and smug. Mom makes rude comments about her makeup and her insecurity. I wonder why she felt insecure… Luckily, Steve also showed the conversation between Mom and John so she could see John standing up for her against his mom. This touches Stephanie and it’s probably the first time she’s ever had a guy stand up for her like that.

Now it’s time for Melissa. I hope this gets good. She turned down Nice Guy Chris for no good reason and immediately rejected the Beiber guy. In walks a line of dudes that Steve claims to be his only available guys in the state. Melissa proceeds to call out a few guys by the color of their shirt and asks them what is the craziest thing they’ve ever done. The other girls all facepalm and Steve’s annoyed this is all she has to say. He bluntly asks her to point out at least one guy that she feels attracted to and she says nothing. She’s really pretty, but she’s got to get over herself. Steve puts her in the hot seat and Melissa tells him that unless the guy is drop-dead hot, she’s not going to be attracted at first. Melissa’s excuse is that she’s usually friends with a guy before she dates him and then she says she’s picky. She yells at Steve that he made her let go of a guy she may have had a connection with…Wait. What? Now we learn that she has had too many emotions in her life that she doesn’t want to feel anything anymore. She should learn to be more like Despina.

Melissa wants to go back out with Nice Guy Chris, because he’s really sweet, fun, and always has something interesting to say. I’m still wondering why she didn’t like him in the first place. Steve’s going to talk to Chris and we’ll see. Next week, the exes come back. Hell yeah! And Melissa gets the “vagina tingles”.

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.

    I agree that Elizabeth wears too much makeup and yadda yadda yadda but I think she’s the one girl who is really understanding what she needs to change and is working really hard to change it. Plus she is a sweetheart.

    Also – Melissa, super pretty? I don’t mean to be rude but I find her to be so physically unattractive. And her personality makes it even worse.

    I hope that Steve just cuts Melissa loose, I cannot stand that girl! She is ridiculous. I’m starting to think that maybe she doesn’t like any of the guys Steve sets her up with is because she doesn’t like guys.
    Awesome recap Sugarbush and even though I’m a yankee I’ve had cajun food and it is delish!

    Glad you brought that up, featherhead. Melissa may actually be one of those people that are miserable all their life until they realize that they are gay. Or she could just be a complete asshat. I really do wish she would get off my tv either way.

    John’s mother had me looking to see if I had Throw Momma from the Train in my DVD collection. Yeesh. What a bitch. I hope Stephanie and John get as far away from her as possible.

    Sugarbush, thanks for filling in, the TMI and the awesome snark.

    I too am very annoyed at Melissa. Maybe she is gay or a-sexual. I think part of her problem is she tries to much and is living via others expectations regarding a relationship. She does not seem strong enough to be the person she wants to be.

    Would love a follow up on Tiffany, although I am sure we will never get the truth about that cluster.

    Love to see things going right for most of them.

    Sugarbush, I too am a transplanted mid-western yankee and I have had plenty of tasty cajun food.

    Danielle, you need a permanent zapper attached to you. Maybe a large case of nerves and low self-esteem?

    @Veronica – I agree about Elizabeth. At first, I liked Melissa and Donna and didn’t like Despina and Elizabeth. Now that table has completely turned. Elizabeth and Despina are far more likable. At least they have excuses for being the way they are.

    Melissa acts like a little entitled bitch. Girl had a line of men & she couldn’t choose one? She has issues. I like Elizabeth more each episode, yea her mom messed her up, but I see major progress & change. Stephanie is also a sweet girl & John’s mom was way out of line. I’m glad to see that he stood up for her.

    Since Melissa has nothing to compare to all she is knows is what happens on tv and movies. She needs to wake up and realize that it’s not like that. You can’t tell me you see all the guys and you don’t find ONE physically attractive enough that you would want to at least get to know a little better.

    She is missing out on all the lessons because she can’t even find one date.

    Asking someone what’s the craziest thing they’ve ever done is not how you find out if you are attracted to someone. Again, that’s something you see people ask on tv. You can ask that question on your third date.

    Try where would you take me on our first date. That would give you an idea of who might be interested in the same things that you are.

    I like the rest of the girls. It seems like they are learning. Danielle just has to clean that mouth up and dial back the dramatics.

    I don’t think Melissa is pretty either. Also, her body is shaped like spongebob. Someone who looks like her needs to understand her league and get into it, instead of wasting everyone’s time waiting for a broad-chested, shirtless Fabio to come riding up to her out of the sunset on a white horse as a breeze whips through his luxurious locks. When has she ever seen shit like that happen in real life? Come on, son. It also kind of sickens me how she jerks Chris around. He’s a good guy and doesn’t deserve her bullshit.

    And Stephanie was robbed this week. I’m a little biased because she’s my favorite in the house, but seriously, I think she did way better than Elizabeth. Maybe her food wasn’t as tasty, but she was way less high maintenance in the bayou and dealt with John’s mother’s bullshit with grace and tact. Meanwhile, Elizabeth screamed and squealed like one of the muskrats they were pulling out of the water. Which I agree are adorable…I wanted to bring one home, wash it, condition it, and blow dry its fur. They’re much cuter when their fur is all fluffy and soft instead of slicked down to their bodies. But anyway, all those histrionics were not necessary…nobody was asking her to bang the muskrat, just stand there and look at it. The scene of her cooking got on my last nerve. She’s just always in this state of crisis and I don’t know why. It’s headache inducing.

    Chaos she has learned that whoa is me behavior from her mom so a man will come swooping down and help her. She has never learned to be independent and do things for herself. She was way too comfortable when she was talking about a man feeding her and cutting up her food as if she was a child. Lots of daddy issues there that she blames on her mom.

    I don’t think Melissa is attractive either She wears WAY too much blush. I thought her “make-over” would include a make-up tone down. @Chaos “Come on son” lmao love it. I totally said that when she couldn’t pick out a guy. I think it might be possible she’s not comfortable with herself. I also think she might not like men. One of my friends is an almost 30 y.o. virgin and she’s kind of the same way. But she’s dated guys and likes them but wants them to sweep her off her feet. I just give her the side eye and say “Honey it ain’t gonna happen. Life isn’t the movies or a romance novel.” Do guys make sweeping gestures? Sure. I had a boyfriend fly to come see me every other month while we were both in college and he would send me care packages of home baked cookies and mail love notes cause I was like I never get mail. But that’s nothing compared to what you get brained washed with in the media.

    As for everyone else: Elizabeth I like her but I feel bad for her. She’s always in damsel in distress mode. She needs to have an orgasm and mellow out already. The girls should chip in and buy her a sybian or some other toy lol. Red-head potty mouth needs to just sit and look pretty maybe not open her mouth. I’m sure she has something going for her but not everyone will sit through her stream of cussing to figure it out. Elizabeth might be able to help her out with that. Stephanie I’m a sucker for an ex-fat girl cause I’m one too. I felt bad for her that woman was wicked. Maybe mom was baiting her to see how she would react? The rest are what they are. Thanks Sugarbush for the great recap.

    Agreed that Melissa needs to figure out her league and get there, because it’s like she waiting for a Brad Pitt to come along, but she’s no Angelina, so good luck with that.

    And am I the only one that initially thought Corey’s sister was a dude? She came out at first and I was like “No way. This is a joke. That’s his cousin in a dress.” Or maybe I just need to stop doing that pesky laundry and give my full attention to these reality shows… I’m not sure…
