Hi, Gasmii!  Just when you thought this season was over — an entire show of things they didn’t put in the previous eps.  You may well ask, was it because these were too scandalous and juicy and exciting and needed a special ep all to themselves?  Spoiler alert – no effing way.

Segment 1 – Hygiene

Moldy food, stopped-up sinks, trash not taken out, maggots in the carpet.  Apparently the bathroom was no better, since Nate tells us that there were “constantly puke shards” in the toilet.  I’m under the weather today, and I think I am about to puke just hearing this. Speaking of the bathroom, Zach shares that Frank has a weird “wipe technique”.  Frank tells us he wipes like a monkey.  Do monkeys actually wipe?   I googled that question.  Answer:  they don’t.  So Frank, kudos for actually wiping.  The shower also contained a variety of interesting items, including  food wrappers(?!?)

2Why is Frank wearing a Christmas vest?  For that matter, why do they make Christmas vests?  He kind of looks like a Christmas chipmunk here.

Now on to laundry.  Priscilla never did laundry once, and just bought new underwear.  Sam estimates they run $10 a pair, so over 90 days . . .  Nate didn’t do laundry either, and he’d wear Frank’s used underwear.  Gross.

3Filth = fun!

Thanks, MTV for airing this exciting previously-unseen footage.  That segment added oh so much to my enjoyment of this series.

Segment 2 – Sex

Now we’re at Priscilla’s house for the 4th of July BBQ.  They’re bigger drinkers than Nate, he says.  Then he talks about one of the aunts, who put her hand down his pants in the pool.  She previously shot a boyfriend in the family jewels, and ended up on COPS for it.  So she’s a TV star!  Yay!  According to Frank, this same woman later had a threesome upstairs.

Meanwhile, Sam made out with Priscilla and her mom.  Priscilla wonders if making out with her own mother was taking her relationship to the “next level”.  If by “next level” you mean permanent emotional damage, then yes.  Good job!  Frank wonders if it’s a “Mexican tradition” to make out with your mom and the “resident lesbian”.

olg_fullClaro que no es bueno, Franco.  No. Es. Bueno.

Now we switch to Frank, who drinks out of any bottle or glass he finds. Shouldn’t that have been in Segment 1?  Frank goes into detail about one such experience.  I have now literally vomited.

By the way,

4Why is Alexandra also wearing a Christmas vest?

And now we move into nut sweat.  Frank thinks his is hospital and sterile smelling.  Thanks for sharing.  Keep coming back.

The excitement keeps on coming, with the amazing revelation that there was a dip in the road that the cast used to drive over, and it made them hit their heads on the car roof.  Which they loved, and they did it, says Frank, 10 or 12 times the last night they were together.

barAh yes.  It’s the laughter we will remember. Also the concussions.

7Yay for brain damage!

Segment 3 – Nudity

Nate and Frank let it all hang out.  A lot.  Priscilla loved to go topless.  Why does that totally not surprise me?

8Exhibit A.

There’s a lot of commenting by this relaxed, charming, funny, smiling guy.  Anyone know who he is?  Because I totally don’t remember seeing him in the last 4 eps . . .

10You’re Zach’s twin brother, right?

And now let’s compare and contrast both Zach and Frank wearing a lovely jockstrap/thong:

11

13

Yep.  Frank by a nose.

Zach ended up with the thong, because Sam put it in his luggage.  I’m sure Frank has a couple more at home, though.  But that’s not the end:  it fell out of Zach’s luggage at the airport.  HA!  But I bet TSA has seen way more, uh, exotic items.

Segment 4 – Who Has More Game

Priscilla says Sam does.  Nate says he and Frank do.  Sam says she does.  Nate has the biggest schlong, though.

Milton_BerleOh really?

Now we turn to exercise.  This is Priscilla’s idea of a workout, according to Ashley:

14Hey! Opening candy wrappers is hard work!

She also invented a special kind of situp along with Alexandra.  It’s a situp that ends with a CheezIt or Twizzler or other snack at the end of every rep.  I’m on board!

Segment 5 – Cabo

Priscilla says she was drunk the entire time in Cabo.  Really?  We couldn’t tell that from Zach having to carry you back to the hotel a couple of eps ago.

Here’s the shirt Sam wore in Cabo.

15Yes, it IS just me and no, I would never make out with someone wearing a shirt that screams “80s”.

And now we hear an extended account of how drunk people got in Cabo.  I cannot tell you how thrilling this is.  I can barely type, I am so overcome with excitement.  Again, thanks MTV for this riveting hour of must-see TV!

This is the end, right?  Dammit, no.  Now we’re at

Segment 6 – Potpourri.

People wrestled.  Priscilla is a bad driver, and got pulled over.  The cast goes fishing.  This is the huge fish Nate caught.

19Just enough for one taco!

Segment 7  – OMG Will This Never End?

Nate got waxed.  Zach says Frank is a bear.  Frank got his back shaved.  Zach himself shaves pretty much all over.

Zach says he won’t get a tat because you don’t put a bumper sticker on a sportscar.  Also, he hates needles.

The housemates had a crazy cube that you could win if you were the funniest or most outlandish.  Not surprisingly, Frank and Priscilla often won it.

And we’re done.  Thank god.  That’s an hour I’ll never get back.  We have one more ep, the Reunion.  Try to control your undoubtedly wild excitement.  See you later in the week!

    I’m not sure why I feel the need to point this out, but they are actually wearing different vests. Back to my actual life.

    PLOCK! OMFG, yes yes yes yes I totoally agree about Zach!

    Can’t wait for the recap after last night that one reunion show was better than the whole season. Not sure how I feel about the Challenge to be honest…meh.

    Gypsy – have much respect for your comments as they are always entertaining and accurate buuuuut I have to politely disagree about the reunion show. It was painful, awkward and just plain awful.

    Do not want to spoil it for those who have not watched but the SAME TOPIC was brought up over and over and over again. Even when Menunous tried to switch topics it ALWAYS came back to that. C’mon San Deigo cast – let it go and move on into the obscurity that you are all destin for.

    Plus the HATS were not invited so I was pissed from the jump!

    @considerthis, it’s cool, we can definitely disagree. And I know what you mean about not spoiling it. I will tread lightly but the few of us commenting on this thread this season I’m sure know what we are referring too…

    With that said, I understand you point but, I loved to see the passion even though it was one topic centric. BUT, to have the others call Zashley out for being miss cast and that Ashley herself had even tried out for many reality shows and this one was the one she landed on was almost as priceless as Nate dropping the “She should have landed on America’s NOT Top Model” in his flouorescent red faced way, that was the cherry on top on that show for me.

    Plus that Meniunos(sp?) 80′s High Pony was show stopping!

    But, I do agree there was no veering away from that ONE topic and Zashley really couldn’t win. We’ll have to wait for PD’s recap but my question would be: Did they even have a leg to stand on? I’m not so sure.

    And yea, where the H-E double hockey sticks were the Hats…? WTF?

    I don’t mind the spoilers!!!! I think we DRV-ed it last night. I am assuming the one topic was the fact that Zashley never hung out w/ the other roommates.

    If Zach shows up on the Challenge, we’ll have to think of a small penis nickname for him :)

    Oh Plock! I know the answer to your questions but, especially with regard to the Challenge one, I don’t want to spoil it. It warrants a true, unspolied reaction and THEN we can discuss. I myself am not that jazzed b/c I live in the same city as a lot of them and I know some of it is just plain staged but, I don’t want that to take away from anyone else’s experince.

    Regarding the ONE issue about Zashley, you are partially right! Let’s put it this way; the rest of the house went H*a*m on them just about the whole hour!

    RW isn’t really staged. I’m sure the producers set up opportunities for them they wouldn’t otherwise have throughout their stay in a city, etc, but the way the roommates handle those situations, react, and live day to day is all on them. Most of the times, the producers have to have a say in outings/events because first they’d have to make sure they have permits and the clearing to film it, which limits cast members abilities to just run amok.
    And if it were staged, I doubt it’d have been such a borefest… or shame on those “writers!” They should have been fired for this season! and D.C…., see what I mean? It’s not Jersey Shore.

    RW isn’t all that staged. I’m sure the producers have a hand in certain events, places they go, opportunities they receive that otherwise normal people in that city wouldn’t, however, how the rommates live day to day, react, is not staged. If that were the case, the supposed brains behind staging the season should be fired, because it was a borefest, like D.C. I’d like to believe if it were staged, it’d pull better numbers, but sometimes real people are just plain boring. Real world is not Jersey Shore.

    @captain-save-uh-hoe I agree with you regarding the RW, absolutely.

    I am talking about the upcoming Challenge being staged. Maybe a better way to say it is this: at some point some of the cast members figured out it’s best to play to the cameras than to keep it 100% real.

    Either that or, some people are just so dumb they don’t care what happens and will stay with someone no matter what they do just b/c they are with someone who is on TV. I guess it could go either way, the majority of viewers will never know for sure.

    @Gypsy, agreed…Although, that’s not to say it’s staged— but I agree that veterans especially, probably already enter the game with a certain strategy in order to have lasting power on the show. I think once people start doing challenges, they’re more aware of what persona they want to portray, right? Because then, it’s about money, and getting asked back for challenges and it becomes a job, so to speak. I’m sure for anyone watching themselves on t.v. after an initial experience like RW, it’s quite eye opening, and you learn quick what people do and don’t like!

    True dat.

    Plus to admit it’s staged would mean you’d be out of a job, no? J/K.

    Ohhh I see what you did there. :) On the contrary, if it were staged, it’d probably be getting better ratings, and I’d more likely have job stability. LOL So, I’d have to say, the most recent season of suckage makes it pretty clear the cast wasn’t getting any help, haha.

    Well in any case, I hope your job is safe and the next cycle is difficient in the suckage department and, I think I can speak for all of “us” when I say that!

    That does explain why The RW and The Challenges stay safely slotted on Wednesdays…not too much competition from other net works on that week night. Interesting…

    Wait, Save-uh-hoe, do you work at MTV??

    Also, the verterans on the Challenge def. have a strategy before going into the competition. They form alliances before they ever arrive for filming. Example: Douche Trio and their nasty minions.

    @Plock, I can’t speak for the Captain but I have noticed over the seasons of commenting that captain-save-uh-hoe has elluded to that fact, yes.

    Wow what a season . Just when you think Real Worlders could not come up with something fresh and new. They continue to make me wonder how can I watch this crap. MTV so happy just doing a retread of the season before.It’s more of a challenge to watch two and half men.Same show with different faces. Such strong confident people sadly going. Tell one of them they have a flaw i n their body or face.They will either cry for hours ,not eat or go to hospital.Tell one that lack basic kniwledge to live and they will say my abs/boobs look good.I think we get to meet the MIZ. Now go tp the place and pray for the challenge to call.Time for fork
