This week, not only did MTV give us a great episode of 8th and Ocean, they also put the entire episode on Overdrive, their broadband site. So, thanks to the miracle of AlGore’s Internets, I was able to watch the show, write my recap, drink beer and make screengrabs all at the same time, thus cementing my position as the laziest recapper on the TVgasm staff, bar none. Now if I could just get my insurance to cover a colostomy, I’d be in like Flynn. Without all that nasty pedophilia, of course.
And boy, what an episode it was. Seriously, this one had it all: Drama. Intrigue. Backstabbery. Even murder, if you count Vinci’s continued butchering of the English language. Mostly it centered on Kelly and Sabrina, but the producers were kind enough to give us a nice dose of Vinci as well. Unfortunately, that made it hard for me to decide which characters to focus on: the Blunder Twins or their pet monkey, Gleek. Hopefully, I reached a nice balance between the two. Except for the title, of course. That had to go to Gleek Vinci. Tonight’s episode starts off with Sabrina talking to Suzy about how well her Laundry shoot went. Suzy tells her this could turn into a regular gig, which is exactly what Sabrina is looking for. Sabrina’s also looking for a way to get Kelly off her dick, as she’s been acting a bit jealous lately over Sabrina’s recent success.
Later, Kelly drops by the agency to talk with Irene Marie, who’s made the appointment for Kelly’s boob job. Kelly doesn’t seem nearly as excited about her new fun bags as I am, though. She tells Irene she didn’t expect it to be this soon. “It’s like a rush, but I don’t want it to be a rush,” she says. Irene says she must have misunderstood Kelly, because she thought Kelly wanted to move forward with her new chesticles. Kelly’s just not ready yet, though, and decides to put it off a while longer. “Sweetheart, it’s in your hands,” Irene tells her. “It’s in nobody’s hands but yours.” Well, hers and Irene’s freaky doctor, who’s probably fondling her future sweater puppets as I type.
Irene seems a little frustrated with Kelly, since this isn’t how she acted last time at all. But she agrees to cancel the operation. For now. After Kelly leaves, we hear Irene talking to herself: “Chump don’t want no help, chump don’t get no help.” Actually, she just says, “We don’t know what we want, so we waste everybody’s time.” Irene and Suzy are wondering if Kelly’s putting off the operation because Sabrina’s doing so well now. No, she wouldn’t be that petty, would she…?
Back at the model apartment, Vinci is telling Britt she looks different today. Maybe it’s her hair. Is it lighter? More blonde? Nope, she’s still the same old Bride of Jesus she’s always been. Vinci tells everyone he’s really excited about winning an award for the last fashion show he did. His prize? MVP: Most Valuable Model. Ahh, Gleek is so cute when he tries to speak. Actually, he won one of the most expensive champagnes in the world, although he says he’d rather have a won a trophy. “I like trophies, no? Like I have all these trophies all around my bedroom.” Whatev.
Even Vinci’s shirts are grammatically incorrect.
Meanwhile, Kelly and Sabrina are in the kitchen cooking when Kelly gets a call from Suzy about a casting. It’s a pretty big client, and she tells Kelly to wear a bikini. And she needs to tell Sabrina to come too. No problem, Kelly says. Wait, there is a problem, because she doesn’t tell Sabrina. “These are done,” she says about a random piece of food. “And so’s your career, bitch!” Okay, maybe she just thought that last part.
The next day Kelly shows up at the office for the casting, sans twin. Everyone is flabbergasted that Sabrina would blow off such an important casting. Kelly just says she doesn’t know why Sabrina isn’t there. Since she’s already late, Suzy sends Kelly on by herself. Brigitte is pissed that Sabrina didn’t bother to show up, as it’s going to be another year before this client comes back. Speaking of which, when the client asks her where her twin is, Kelly says she’s not at the casting, but she is in Miami. Passive aggressive much, KELLY?!
Later, Brigitte calls Sabrina to ask why she wasn’t at the casting. Kelly was there, but she wasn’t. Brigitte is so mad, there’s almost a hint of color in her cheeks. Almost. Sabrina says she hates to rely on Kelly to tell her about castings, but since most of their castings are together, it usually works out okay. Sabrina is upset she missed it, especially since she’s just sitting in the apartment doing nothing. Since Brigitte’s skin can’t be exposed to direct sunlight, she tells Sabrina to come in to the office: she’s got some serious ‘splaining to do!
Tracie asks Sabrina what happened. She tells Tracie that Kelly didn’t tell her about that morning’s casting, and now everyone at the agency’s mad at her. Sabrina hates it when people are upset with her, because she’s a very responsible person. But sometimes her sister gets in the way and ruins that for her, and it makes her look bad. And that really makes her angry, which isn’t good at all. “You won’t like me when I’m angry,” she warns nobody in particular.
Enough of the twins. It’s Vinci time! Vinci’s shopping! At his secret spot! He’s really excited about this store, especially since the saleslady says she remembers his size. Or does she? Because the first shirt he tries on is a little too small. Fortunately, the next one is just right. Suddenly, Vinci’s cell phone rings. And wouldn’t you know, it’s the agency. Damn them! “I’m doing shopping now,” he tells Mia, while trying to find a pen. Tonight he’s working for the Julian Chang runway show, and he has to be there at 7:00. “You will arrive on time,” Mia tells him. Maybe not, as even the mere thought of arriving on time sends Vinci into eye-rolling conniptions. “Okay, I go shave and all that,” Vinci tells Mia. “I promise, I do the right thing.” Ahhh. Vinci’s charm even gets a smile out of Mia. If only she knew that as soon as he hung up with her, he went right back to doing shopping. Oh, Vinci…
Cut to 45 minutes before showtime, and Aba, a fashion producer, is running around looking for Vinci. Which makes me realize how much I miss Tim Gunn. “Where’s Vinci? Has anyone seen Vinci? Should I check the Red Lobster?” Briana and Talesha are also in the show, and since they work with Vinci, everyone expects them to know where he is. With 15 minutes left, Vinci finally shows up, and Talesha asks why he’s always lost in action. Why? I’ll tell you why. Because he’s Vinci, dammit! Vinci says he’s been busy “just doing his stuff”. Which as near as I can tell involves walking the streets smoking cigarettes.
Vinci’s girlfriend calls while he’s getting his makeup done. Wait a minute, Vinci has a girlfriend? Does Heide know? He tells the makeup artist he can powder him later, which sounds like code for something less than hetero, but the makeup guy says he has to do Vinci now, because he’s due on stage in just a few minutes.
Speaking of which, with two minutes to go, Vinci has disappeared again. Wait, no he hasn’t. He’s backstage sharing his iPod with another male model! Now he’s playing with a random doggie! Now he’s standing next to a clothes rack having a smoke and an energy drink! Now it’s commercial time! What?!
After the break, we join Sabrina at the agency as she tries to explain her actions from yesterday. You know, when she missed the casting Kelly neglected to tell her about? Yeah, those actions. Suzy and Brigitte both give her dirty looks, then Suzy wags her finger and simply says, “Shame.” Suzy is such a bitch. Sabrina reiterates that she didn’t know about the casting. “Kelly sometimes doesn’t tell me what’s going on.”
Unfortunately, Brigitte can’t smell what the Sabs is cooking, and tells Sabrina it sounds like she needs to drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up, before reminding her she’s been told more than once to check in herself. Evidently, Brigitte isn’t going to let Sabrina blame Kelly for not showing up, and wants her to take responsibility for her actions. Come on , Brigitte. Maybe that “personal responsibility” crap went over back in Transylvania, but this is America, dammit! And we take responsibility for nothing! I bet Brigitte wouldn’t even sue her parents for making her albino.
Sean, Teddy and Adrian are playing pool. “Yo, what’s the deal with Vinci?” Sean asks. “The man has a thing about not giving a rat’s ass about work.” Other things Vinci doesn’t give a rat’s ass about: Sean. Sean says he’s not hating or anything, but maybe things just come too easy for Vinci. He just doesn’t care. Of course he doesn’t care: he’s Vinci! Adrian wonders how Irene feels about it, since it’s her image too. Irene makes a lot of money off a lot of different models, Sean says, so maybe she should just kick Vinci to the curb. Adrian thinks Vinci’s a good guy, but sometimes he just wants to smack him around. That I’d like to see. Maybe they could have a walk-off. I wonder if David Bowie’s available to judge… Teddy says Vinci thinks he can do what he wants with no consequences. “Eventually he’s either going to get his ass beat, or he’s going to get kicked out of this industry,” he says. Judging by the way Teddy acted last week, I’m betting it won’t be him administering the beat-down.
Meanwhile, back at the agency, Irene is on the phone apologizing for an “inconvenience”. At first I think she’s talking about Sabrina’s no-show, but when she summons Tino to her office, I know it’s about Vinci. You don’t bring in Tino to handle a cat-fight. Irene tells Tino she just got a call about Vinci’s behavior at the Julian Chang show. He showed up late and was acting very unprofessional backstage. In other words, he was just being Vinci. They just don’t know what to do with him. Judging by Irene’s new Cruella DeVille hair, I’d suggest she skin him and make a Vinci coat. Tino says he’ll take care of it.
Tino!
Later that night, he and Vinci are outside having a serious conversation. Tino wants to talk to Vinci about next season. “This season you’ve been lost, and a little bit unprofessional,” he tells Vinci, before going through the laundry list of problems the bookers are having with him. Next, he asks Vinci if he’s been going out at night a lot. Is he kidding? That’s like asking the Pope if he shits in the woods a lot. “You know Miami. It’s everything to do at Monday to Sunday,” Vinci says. I think that means yes.
Tino says all he ever hears at the agency is “Vinci, Vinci, Vinci.” Vinci says that’s because “everyone is looking for Vinci Vinci Vinci. And Vinci doesn’t want to know nothing about nobody. He wants to be alone.” Vinci’s growing Kurt Cobain complex frustrates Tino, who reminds Vinci that he was the only one who believed in Vinci a year ago. He says maybe people will start to spread some rumors, and say not to book Vinci because he’s unprofessional. Maybe people will start to spread rumors? If that’s supposed to be intimidating, Tino’s got a lot to learn about intimidation. Next time, maybe he should try to emulate someone besides Fredo. Vinci’s response? “Aw come on, I haven’t missed a job never. Maybe you got the wrong information.” After nearly swallowing his tongue, Tino says that’s impossible, leading Vinci to wonder if he should get another agency or something…
Back at the apartment, Sabrina is telling Kelly about her meeting that morning. Sabrina is upset about how missing the casting made her look. Plus she feels bad about having to blame Kelly for missing it. “I shouldn’t be blamed,” Kelly snaps back. Sabrina says it’s Kelly’s fault she missed the casting. Kelly says she’s not Sabrina’s booker. “You’re my sister!” Sabrina yells. Kelly says she just forgot. “Can you not realize that I forgot to tell you?” Kelly says she’s not Sabrina’s mother, and she’s not supposed to write down when her castings are and personally take her there. At that, Sabrina storms off, saying she doesn’t understand what Kelly’s problem is. I do. She’s a bitch.
Blunder Twin Powers, Activate!
Shape of…a bitch! Form of…an icy bitch!
In her bedroom Sabrina is telling Briana, Talesha and Tracie that she has to get away from Kelly. Hey, isn’t this the same thing Kelly was saying about her a few weeks ago? I’m beginning to think we may have to split these two up. Sabrina says that even last season she caught Kelly not telling her about castings. Sabrina just doesn’t like that Kelly can’t admit when she’s wrong. “I’m not wrong,” Kelly says, busting in from the hallway. Sabrina tells Kelly that she needs help. “I have told you Sabrina, and I’m not going to get loud, I’m not going to get angry, but my heart’s starting to pound really fast…” “Good, I’m so glad,” Sabrina interrupts in her best Chloe voice, which isn’t really very good. “I just forgot,” Kelly says. It’s not like she purposefully didn’t want Sabrina to go. I don’t know why Kelly insists on lying about it, especially considering MTV has it all on tape. Oh yeah, she’s a model. Guess I do know why she insists on lying.
Next, they start arguing in their secret twin language. It was hard to understand, but I think I captured the gist of what they were saying.
Sabrina: “You’re full of shit.”
Kelly: “You’re full of shit.”
Sabrina: “You really are.”
Kelly: “You’re full of shit.”
Like I said, twin language is hard to follow.
Finally, Sabrina tells Kelly that everyone in her life sees what’s going on. Hey, Sabs, want to know why Kelly acts like this? “Because you’re such a bitch,” that’s why. “You sit there like you’re some prissy little bitch all the time and act like I’m always wrong and I’m not. You’re just mean.” Kelly says Sabrina is making it sound like Kelly knew and chose not to tell her. Yeah, I’d say that’s exactly what she’s making it sound like, Kelly. “Get off my ass,” Kelly says. “Will you please just get the fuck off my ass?” And then she slams the door and walks off, leaving Sabs in the room with the other models trying to figure out what the hell just happened…
So, what the hell do you think just happened?

Man, I loved this episode. Twins bickering? Vinci being stupid? Perfection.
personally, i loved the recap even more. but i’m a little biased.
Gotta love Vinci. Even Brit from Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri was clowning on him.
Anybody think Suzy was at fault for not directly speaking to Sabrina? Did you notice how fast Suzy agreed with Brigitte in placing the blame on Sabrina for not calling in.
Nice screen shot of Iron Eagle, man he/she’s hideous.
haha, this episode was good but not as good as last weeks. i loved vinci! “i’m doing shopping” ahh latin charm : ) but then cut to kelly being a total bitch and backstabbing her sister! this episode was such a mood swing! vinci to bitch fights to vinci to bitch fights! i don’t know if i can handle it!
so so so happy this review came out so early! totally made my day!!! “what an episode it was. Seriously, this one had it all: Drama. Intrigue. Backstabbery. Even murder, if you count Vinci’s continued butchering of the English language.” that was def the bes tline of the entire recap!!! Also, Vinci is such an idiot he cant even talk correctly let alone get to work on time. I have no idea why irene keeps him?! there are a million pretty faces out there not just vinci. He is going nowhere in life after this gig! He is so stupid he cant even call to check in he’s too damn lazy! For the entire kelly and sabrina situation i am so glad the sabrina finalley stood up to kelly! Kelly has been nothing but unsupportive during the whole skin process with sabrina and she is now acting like a total bitch bc sabrina’s better!!! Sabrina was way too easy on kelly for what happened. . . I would have layed into her way more!!
Yes, I agree — Suzy was at fault for not calling Sabrina. It may be Sabrina’s responsibility to check in, but at the same time, it’s also Suzy’s job to alert the models, and relying on one to tell the other is lazy. Some might call her a LAZY SUSAN. Oh, I kill me.
Lazy Susan… genius, pure genius!
lazy susan.
that is why you are the master, while i am but a humble grasshopper.
Ashley25, stop making fun of Vinci! Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people’s lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?
I just saw Sabrina and Kelly in an Acuvue commercial that has been out for a while but not on recently — they’re twins (duh) and you have to “guess which one has the astigmatism”! It’s funny because they’re pretending to like each other.
I agree — the agency should call each model individually if they want them to show up. Even if they weren’t sisters, they’re all competing for the same jobs, so I could see a roommate or a friend pulling the same stunt.
JBALL–> why are u telling me the world does not revolve around me and that my “do whatever it takes, ruin as many people’s lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist” ? Im not an investigatory journalist i dunno what the hell ur even talking about u need to CHILL out! im not ruining anyone’s life i am gossiping which is what this message board is for. . . get the memo? good.
This was a great episode. It was amazing that Kelly could claim to have forgotten to tell Sabrina when it’s on camera that she chose not to tell her. While I understand the idea that the models should check in, Suzy needed to jump on Kelly for not telling Sabrina and for lying about it. ‘Cause that is exactly what Kelly did when she said she didn’t know why Sabrina wasn’t there.
As for Vinci, I hope the agency does kick him to the curb. Sure he’ll get picked up by someone else and work for a while but the new agency will be hearing the same complaints. After awhile there’ll be no agency willing to hire Vinci because of his reputation as unprofessional. What a sad day for Vinci: no more jobs- no more money- no more doing shopping.
Ashley 25…the investegatory journalist is from zoolander he was kidding…and i loved your debauchery of the english language while mocking vinci for his massacre…and now i have bad grammar so someone will bag on me for bagging on you for bagging on vinci
SOMEONE BREAK THE CHAIN!!!
hey jball this is a web post not my college english paper. . . thanks
oh mtv and your edittings. anyone else noticed at the end of last week’s episode briana got hair extensions? but at the start of this week her hair went short again. but then by he end of the episode it was long again.
Brianna is also all over the Urban Outfitters website. She’s definately one of the main models. It’s nice to know that she finally got a job, since she doesn’t seem to have one on the show.
How could Kelly remember her booking without remembering Sabrina’s? It’s the same thing, and they’re leaving from the same house.
Must be a model thing.
Ashley25, you are an idiot. My initial thing wasn’t even directed towards you, I just needed to put someone’s name on it for comic effect. It was directed towards anyone who has seen Zoolander. And it seems you’re not in that group. Therefore you are not in the group towards which my post was directed.
So please drop it. You’re just making yourself look like a moron. Your idiocy is ruining my life.
I was disappointed in Tino. I thought the “Mafia Man” of the agency would lay down the law to Vinci, or else he might get “whacked”! Instead he seemed like he was afraid of Vinci, and the fact that he might walk to another agency. Let him! There are many others out there who are just as hot, (and maybe just as dumb), but he does make this show interesting with the way he speaks the English language. And Irene in a ponytail is something I don’t ever want to see again! Those scary veins on the side of her/his head! Ick!
Brianna is also one of the models for iTunes – when you download it to your computer, she is on the ad.
“SMILE IF YOUR HORNY”
Its distubing that shirt even got made with that error, but how perfect is it on Vinci?
i meant disturbing, before someone calls me out on my error
I agree with alienlips, i thought after tino told irene he would handle it, that he would actually make some sort of impression on vinci, but I now beleive vinci is oblivious to anything he doesn’t want to hear.
suzy was laughing when she pointed her finger and said “shame shame” she was joking around with Sabrina it seemed like that to me.
while i do believe that kelly has become jealous of sabrina and that she most likely did not tell her about the casting, the fact that they showed the phone call scene on tv doesn’t really prove anything. mtv is known for editing things around to start a little more drama. there’s no way to prove that that phone call was the exact one that suzy made/we saw since sabrina’s comments were ‘uh huh… yeah… okay’
that said….
-kelly is still a bitch
-and suzy should have called sabrina separately. if it had been tracie and brit going to a casting i’m sure she would call each of them and not just rely on one to tell the other. this is modeling industry, doesn’t she know people backstab and walk all over each other to get ahead?
p.s. i mean kelly’s comments, not sabrinas. damn twins….
There is no 8th and Ocean without Vinci.
The perfect End
Vinci and Britt.
She see somehting diferent in this girl “Jesus”… and he finally will not want to be alone again becouse she changed her life… hehe
Cmon Adrian
Latinos should support each other! we r like a big family hehe…
enriquemorillo… vinci- is that you?
oh, who am i kidding. vinci doesn’t know how to use a computer!
Yumm, very healthy dose of Vinci this week!! I can’t help but think his English massacre is just so adorable. I wouldn’t want to deal with it on a daily basis but it’s cute on this show. And it’s awesome that copygodd noticed the ‘Smile if your horny’ tee, lol.
I love this show. Next week, old Tracie works! And Britt tries to save her bits from the photographer. Ass & titties for hubby Jesus only!
Thanks for the great recap!!
Copygodd, you are awesome, one of the best recaps I’ve ever read on this site. The title was genius.
How could you not love Vinci? It’s Vinci! MVP: Most Valuable Model. OMG.
Vinci likes trophies. How cute. I bet he bowls with bumper pads and likes his PB & J’s crustless and cut into quarters, too:)
OK, I haven’t read this yet, but that title is a gem!! This show produces the BEST recaps.
Thank you TVGASM!!
err, whats a lazy susan?
Admit it Copygodd…you’ve had the title saved up for a while (it was perfect, by the way). I wish I’d thought of it!
hey jball (killer name by the way) can you seriously get some therapy? who actually has enough anger to call someone an idiot and a moron in an online blog? you definately need to chill the hell out this is a blog, not an outlet for your intensive needs
yeah, bm (teehee), you caught me. i’ve been saving that title for several weeks now.
D-Hoff- a lazy susan is a round tray that spins. You put it on the table to hold condiments or in your cupboards to increase storage space. Don’t know why the Susans of the world are pegged as lazy but that’s what the thing is called.
Ashley25, I’m not upset in the least. Me and my friends have been been too busy bathing off the southern coast of St. Barts with spider monkeys for the past two weeks. Changed our whole perspective on stuff. So, I guess, uh, I guess you can dere-lick my balls, capitan.
Ashley25, you think you’re too cool for school. But I’ve got a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite… You aren’t.
Earth to Ashley25! I’m guessing the whole walk-off, David Bowie reference went over your head. It’s obviously from Zoolander and that’s why J-Balls (great name) mentioned that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people’s lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way. It’s not cool to attack people just because they know more movie references than you. I think you’re the one that needs to chill.
Hey J-Balls, you is talking loco and I like it.
You just know that once Vinci’s looks are gone he’ll be standing at the side of the road in Miami holding out a cup and a “Vinci need $ 4 doing shopping and doing eating” sign.
I’M TIRED OF PEOPLE MAKING FUN OF THE WAY VINCI TALKS. Did ya’ll forget that he is from another country and that I’m sure spanish is his first language and english is his second. I’m sure if ya’ll learned another language ya’ll wouldn’t be speaking perfect at all and probably make mistakes. At least he speaks a second language which is more than I can say for most of you lazy americans with superiority complexes.
in addition to english, i also speak west virginian.
Copygood u r really good!
pretty fly (for a white guy)…
LOL@latinchick…anyway
I didn’t even notice Vinci’s shirt “Smile if your horny” HAHAH. It’s really sad that people with bad grammar are too busy making tee shirts to learn anything.
Kelly is a biyotch. She probably feels stupid now that that episode aired.
Man, I love this show.
latinchick–> your right, Vinci did come here from another country. . . HE CAME HERE, so he can learn the language spoken here. He doesn’t get props for that, no one asked him to come here. Also, lots of us “lazy Americans” speak more than one language and we really don’t have to because we didn’t move to that country. . . how is that lazy again? right. Also, if you think we are so lazy and superior why don’t you just leave? No one’s keeping you here, you can go back to your homeland and speak your native language. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
If Horror Masked Irene had any dignity, she’s lose Vince, save the reputation of her agency. and let someone else suffer from his increasingly erratic behavior.
I’d have dropped him on his ass long ago.
Vinci needs to go, he’s not even that good looking–oh yea and I don’t know what makes you think that “y’all” is english.
