Still, since they don't pay me to recap bad movies (yet!), I guess I should move on to the matter at hand. This week's episode starts off promisingly enough, with Britt and Tracie on the beach talking about whether it's okay to date male models. Tracie tells Britt to stay away from them, because in her eyes, all male models are dogs. Unfortunately, she never says why she feels this way. They're always humping her leg? They'd be happy lying around licking their balls? They eat their own shit? From what I've seen of the guys on this show, I'm going with number three. Or maybe number two.
Heheheh. I said number two.
After the theme song (which I already despise), the Iron Maiden and her bookers are looking over Tracie's book. The first shots are okay, then Irene comes across one that is "horrible" and shouldn't be in there. "She used to do a lot better," says Irene. "What happened to her?" Everyone agrees that Tracie is just too skinny. I'm sorry. Someone must have stuck a dick in my ear, because I swear someone just said a model was too skinny. Oh wait, they're not worried about her weight because of any health concerns; they're just worried that it makes her look old. Schew, for a minute there, I thought they actually cared about Tracie.
Tracie is sent to a casting at "Catch A Fire" clothing. While she's sitting in the hallway with a bunch of other Auschwitz wannabes, Quincy the casting director comes by and gives Tracie a quick hugnkiss. That makes the other models (and Tracie) think she'll get the job. Unfortunately, Ms. Cedella Marley, who just happens to be the designer, feels otherwise. One look at Tracie's book is all it takes to convince Cedella that "there's no edge." I bet Iron Man would beg to differ. According to she and the harpies, Tracie is nothing but edges. I don't get it. Sure, the girl could stand to eat a few dozen cheeseburgers, but she's no Karen Carpenter. Hell, she's not even a Tracey Gold.
Back at the apartment, Teddy and Sean are talking about what else? Girls. Teddy is tired of seeing happy couples everywhere he looks. Sean tells him to relax, that love's a good thing. "Sometimes it's good," Teddy says. Like when he's looking in the mirror. Sean is surprised when Teddy says he's going to ask Britt out today. "Isn't she religious or something?" Teddy just laughs, prompting Sean to ponder, "you never know. It is harvest season. Time to plant your seed and wait." Wow, Sean makes love sound so romantic.
Inside, Sabrina is on the phone, whining to someone about how unhappy she is that the agency won't send her on any casting calls. She's sick of people telling her not to go somewhere. Sick, I tell you! So she's going to start doing things on her own. Yeah, that'll show 'em. How dare your bosses tell you how to do your job. Suddenly, the temperature in the room plunges 30-degrees as the Ice Maiden pays a surprise visit to the apartment. "Since I couldn’t find Sabrina, I came to Sabrina," she says. Wha? Irene is concerned, and wants to know why Sabrina is crying and upset. Duh! Because you won't let her ruin her career!
Bloody Mary Bloody Mary Bloody Mary!
Sabrina says she's not upset about her skin as much as the fact that the agency isn't pushing her as hard as the other girls. She has no jobs, nowhere to go, she can't work, can't cast… Damn your black hide, sebaceous glands!
Irene reiterates the reason she's not working is her skin resembles a sheet of flesh-colored bubble wrap. Of course, Sabrina doesn't want to hear it. She says she's not trying to be defiant, but Irene points out that Sabrina did go to a casting yesterday she was told not to. Sabrina says it's just hard to deal with having a successful twin and being around other models whose skin doesn't resemble a pineapple. Irene understands. "Twin dynamics are tough enough without your skin issues," she says. And right now, Kelly's booty is just more cuppable. They agree to give her skin a few more weeks to clear up, then Sabrina can start going on castings again.

When Brit told Teddy she didn't want to be just another girl, I thought that was pretty intelligent. Of course we'll have to see how long she holds out. And what is up with Brit looking "heavenward" when ever she talks. Is she watching out for the return of her "husband"?
As for Tracie, I think we should read "too skinny" as "too old" 'cause there's no way she's any skinnier than anybody else on this show. And yes, Irene's face will melt if it get's wet. Or if it tries to show any emotions.

Other things Vinci can't understand: Velcro.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Not sure why I watch this show, but that sentence above maybe the key to it all.

I thought it was hilarious when Vinci said this "when there are like one million girl here," Teddy looked at Vinci like he was a complete moron. That's pretty bad coming from Teddy who's not exactly Einstein himself.

I have to agree that Tracie does not appear to be any skinnier than the other models on the show...she is just OLD!
Even though Vinci might not understand Velcro he is still the reason I watch the show. He is vapidly attractive!

I agree everything is waay more exciting when Vinci's around.
I looved his logic with Teddy. He's so dumb its almost become endearing.

HILARIOUS! I missed this episode, but the recap is more than enough to make up for it, well done!
If you think Ryan Seacrest and Teri Hatcher kissing is hard to forget, try erasing this one from your memory...

*zevonia;
I too want to know why Britt is always looking up, she does it ALL the time!Even when she was checking out the apartment when she moved in, she was looking up like she was expecting the devil to jump from the ceiling fans or something.
And Vinci is so hot... I don't even care if I can't understand the man half the time he opens his mouth.
*copygodd, this was awesome!

Can't believe no one has commented on that old hag Irene. Creepy and grotesque.
Her face doesn't move. Is that a new look or is she having a stroke?

Count me amongst the "Real Housewives" lovers. They are way more interesting than those "Desperate Housewives."

"Boy, they sure grow 'em dumb in Kansas, don't they. I bet she thinks you can catch gonorrhea from riding a tractor in your bathing suit, too."
lmao I just saw that episode of Seinfeld again the other day...classic
I too do not know why I am so facinated with this show...it's either too hear what sexy latin foolishness is going to come out of Vinci's mouth or to hear what "wisdom" Sean is going to grace us with...he thinks he knows everything lol

Ugh Vinci irritates the hell out of me. Grinning Idiot who gets by solely on his looks. Teddy, dog that he is is far more intersting and better looking. Sean is such an idiot. So obvious he wants to be the smart, sensitive guy ON TV.
I feel sorry for Sabrina too. The bookers can eb such hags. Well except the one who hates Vinci. I like her.

um, is that one of the 8th models on the catchafire site? I didn't recognize any of them.
Saw Brianna on the urbanoutfitters page.

I have a theory that they can not air all of Vinci's good scenes because they have to censor him for the show.

This show totally pissed me off. That Heide girl is not even pretty. She looks ordinary if you ask me. I wonder if she knew Teddy before that day. I think it was mentioned that she didn't live in their area. I'm glad Britt blew him off. I just wish she would have told him the REAL reason. " I saw you kissing that freckled goat in the hot tub you chode."

Um, tracy isn't old. Half the people there are her age or a year younger. The Talesha girl got the catch a fire ad and she's like her age. I just think none of these girls take care of their skin and are just baskin their youth away in the sun.
