The ladies arrive back in the suite after Elimination. As the ten of you remember, Game On Maria was planning to leave. Then she and The Poo had a weird, funny interaction and she decided to stay, sealing it with a fist punch. Maria goes directly to the kitchen and makes a hefty shot of vodka and lime. She toasts herself: "Can anyone say 'Sucker'?" Jenn, Jayanna, Megan, and Amanda stare at her. She transforms into a sage. "When he's one-on-one, he's amazing. . .and you gotta give props and credit to how a man shows up when he is showing up." Because it's not that often, and sometimes it's with carnations or text messages, and neither of those count. Jayanna is pissed. "What about the next Elimination?" She smirks at Jenn. "I'm just curious."

Bitch (allegedly)!

Wise Woman Maria says, "I don't know about the future, I only know about the present." Jenn rolls her eyes. We finally get Jayanna's alleged bitchiness CAUGHT ON TAPE. Here's what she says: "But he hasn't shown up for you before that, and he hasn't shown up for you before that, and you've asked him a couple times before that. I mean, honestly, do you think he's going to show up for you?" I don't get it, if Jayanna doesn't think The Poo is interested in Maria, why go to all the effort to make Maria feel like shit? Wise Woman Maria says she's all in support of a man growing and unfolding in love. I am, too, WWM, but that's not what's happening here. The Poo is a shallow man who is becoming more and more selfish and dishonest as the show continues. Jayanna tells the camera, "I want her gone. She makes my blood boil."

The next morning, we see Wise Woman Maria making a smoothie. Amanda notes that after last night's Elimination, the 20's are outnumbered. Way to go, Executive Producer JD Roth! Sociologically compelling television! Maria gives a smoothie to Amanda. Now that you've caught us in your web, JD, give us the good stuff! More Jayanna CAUGHT ON TAPE! She tells the camera that Amanda has made it clear that she is leaving here with The Poo, "but nobody takes my guy away from me." It seems, Procrastinators, that for Jayanna, it's not about love, it's about winning. She lectures the younger women about her feelings for The Poo, and how she sees a lot of herself in him, but that's not enough to fall in love in such a short period of time. Surprisingly, Amanda suspects that Jayanna's speech has a motive. Jayanna kindly advises that being old, she knows more about it than they do. "You may think that The Poo is giving you something special that no one else is getting. But you're not. You know that, right?" At one point, Jenn winks at Maria. Cro-Megan responds, "That's nice. I'm hungry," and leaves. Jayanna, feeling satisfied and altruistic, confides to the camera that the 20-somethings are going to get their hearts broken because they won't be going home with The Poo.

This ain't my thirtieth time at the rodeo.

Kelly Ripa's Husband comes to the suite to tell the women they are going camping with The Poo, and one of them will not be coming back. Grimacing Amanda says her excitement about the trip immediately dropped when she heard someone was going home. Jesus! Christ! THIS IS A REALITY DATING SHOW! Someone is always going home!

Game On Maria is excited about the trip because she loves camping. She thinks it will be a chance for her to be romantic with The Poo and "create a lot of yumminess." Eew. You're making my blood curdle. Cro-Megan is nervous because she's had "a negative number of camping experiences." I'm not sure what that means. Perhaps, since she's still a student, she hasn't yet completed her English comprehension requirements. Jayanna COT tells the 40-somethings to pack toilet paper, but not to tell the younger women to do so. "I'm serious!" she hisses. "Game on!"

I'm so glad there is a recap of this show. I left to go get some ice cream and when I got back, my boyfriend had to explain what had happened in the first 15 minutes. Needless to say I had no clue what he was talking about.

Amanda really did seem a little crazy. Why would you go look for them while they went on a walk, and what would you do when you found them? Stand behind a tree and stare, or just walk up and start a conversation? I think he is going to pick her end the end though. I just can't see him with any of the other women.

First, I want to say I appreciate your recaps. The show itself is absolutely inane, but your recaps are perfect!

Second, while yes, Jayanna got caught 'in the lie', didn't Amanda also get exposed for being manipulative? I mean, the Poo (whose name I cannot remember) is either an idiot that he didn't see that, or he likes Amanda the best.

And third, isn't he just the biggest man-slut ever? What is with all the tongue-kissing on this show -- has his tongue been down the throats of ALL the women who remain? How do these women stand it? But then, I guess none of them (except Amanda) really like him that much....

Fourth, I think only Amanda and Jen seem to actually like this guy. Isn't that weird, too?

Thanks again for the recaps -- I'm glad I dont have to waste my time with the actual show....

After this show, I am convinced that Amanda is insane. I am also convinced that she's the one he will pick in the end.

Tequila was an excellent choice of booze for the camping trip. I would have been half-naked, stalking, fighting and crying too.

Is it just me or does Amanda have this thing? It seems like everyone she voices a threat about the Poo eliminates. Regardless, she's a nutjob.
