Jeez, Phillpe, duct tape is like $2.99 a roll. Anyhow, MeeMaw winds up choosing Anime's fabulous purply-sparkle dress as her other outfit (good choice). Of course, Queenie has to weigh in, "Celia knows that she could talk Allison into doing what she wants, so you know she picked Allison because she wants to be greedy and just have both dresses for herself!" Sour sparkly-grapes much? Like Queenie wouldn't have done the exact same thing (that is, if she could pose worth a shit).

When they get back to the house, the two new besties try each other's dresses on and giggle a lot, and Anime even gives MeeMaw a compliment... "You have a great skeleton!" to which MeeMaw replies, "Thanks! I've been working on it!"...

...bone-is envy...

Anime says she's in love with MeeMaw, MeeMaw says Anime is the "epitome" of love and harmony. The other girls start calling them "Frick and Frack" and "Thing 1 and Thing 2" and "Dumb and Dumber". They should have started calling them "Harold and Maude".

After revisiting the whole MeeMaw-Tattles-On-Homegirl-To-Save-Portlie drama, followed by the AmINuts-And-Teyomboy-Go-Off-On-Anime-And-Rich-Bitch catfight, it turns out that Queenie wasn't exactly sitting on the sidelines, either! Instead of yelling at the unrelated parties (like Nutsy and Teyomboy inexplicably chose to do) she goes right for MeeMaw: "You know how I feel about this whole thing? It's none of your business."

...it's none of Jesus-Freak's business, either, so she just sits there looking all bemused and Kate Winslet-y...

Of course, MeeMaw insists it is her business when Homegirl was taking up valuable space in the house that could have been saved for Portlie, her lame jokes and poor modelling skills. Queenie doesn't buy it, and repeats "It was just none of your business. The only person that should have said something was Kortnie." Well, she had a good argument up until that point.

Anime immediately points out the fact that Queenie's contradicting herself, if it was nobody's business but Homegirl's, why would it have been okay for Portlie to say anything? Queenie shouts that it just shouldn't have been MeeMaw, and Anime says she doesn't have to raise her voice, to which Queenie replies "I do have to raise my voice 'cuz it's not getting through your head!"

SandraRaisesHerVoice041309.JPG

...it's certainly piercing through mine...

Anime interviews that she doesn't understand Queenie sometimes, "She just wants to come off like she's dumb... maybe it's just the language issue?" Ouch, isn't that a tad below the belt, Anime? Besides, Queenie certainly has learned her SpringerSpeakā„¢ because she's telling Anime "Do not go there with me!" Of course, Anime is egging her on by coming back with smartass literalisms like "I don't know where I'm going." which has the intended effect of enraging Queenie further, "Do not go there, 'cuz I'm not the one that you play with!"

MeeMaw gets in on the ESL-bashing, too, claiming in her interview that "The second you start rushing your words, or using bigger language, she goes crazy, like, she starts malfunctioning." Now, Queenie's in MeeMaw's face, telling her "You are twenty-five years old... twenty-five! You act so so immature! Grow up!" MeeMaw is laughing at her in her interview and saying she can't even fight or argue with her because she's just "dumbfounded". Funny, I understood her perfectly well: she was telling you that you're the oldest one there and you act the most grade-schoolish...

CeliasRealAge041309.JPG

...like one of the fucking Von Trapp kids from hell...

Downstairs, the Unholy Trinity of MeeMaw, Anime-Eyes and Rich-Bitch are still making fun of Queenie. Anime's acting stupid, saying "I've been so nice to Sandra, and it's like, she's in my face 'You don't wanna go there!' and I was like, 'Where am I going?'" Cut the literal shit, Anime, they carry the Jerry Springer show in Louisiana, you knew exactly what she meant by that.

MeeMaw's also making a bitchy mimicry of Queenie for chiding her about her advanced age when Queenie catches them red-handed in their shit-talking session and calls them out on it from the stairs. MeeMaw denies it (what?) but turns right around and reminds her of the "You're twenty-five!" incident, which just makes Queenie repeat "Yeah, because I feel like you are immature for your age." and she walks off...

What, no comments yet?

Well, I almost didn't watch this one either, since it's a recap episode. But I had work to do, so I needed something on in the background. And this one had the merit of actually showing lots of new stuff--and especially scenes that are kind of important for the rest of the show (which makes you wonder why they didn't show them on the episodes themselves?).

Weird how there's practically nothing at all about Jesus Freak there. I'm guessing she's smart enough not to provide any reality tv material.

Fo's a very cute crier. She'd definitely win every argument we'd have together.

AnimeEyes seems to have the same vaguely absent personality as McGee. So I pick her to win this thing.

I can't help liking MeeMaw...don't know why. I'm certain she was one of the popular girls who (tried to make) my life miserable in high school (didn't work, I was too wacked out). But I still can't help liking who she is...and if 15-year-olds can make a career modeling clothes for 30-year-old women, then a 25-year-old should be able to make a career for the 50-year-old set, right?

LisaMay:

I'm confused, when did this episode air???? I can't believe I missed it.

sayhuh:

LisaMay, I think this one aired right after the regular episode. I didn't watch it because it was up against Lost and (I think) Bones and there's only so much my DVR can handle, and enough already anyway, and in any case it will be a million times better when what I get is something that has been through J-Mo's wringer. More after I actually read it!

juddfan:

I missed this too, in utter unawared's, but I'm oh so happy to see it all through J-mo's trusty eyes!!!

After last night's new epi, i'm more confused than ever . . . good to have Queenie back for a day, hee, I still think she was the most modelesque in look, maybe in the real world she'll get some work since she's not being edited into a stupid sounding biotch!!! I feel like I'm defending her, but alas, I'd have to care for that!

Have fun J-mo, we'll miss ya!!! xoxoxo and thanks for the tasty and witty bon mot!

pixielated:

I tried to comment last night, Itchy, but I had an early onset senior moment and briefly couldn't remember my password.

I can understand why Tyra egged Meemaw on in trashing the other girls and then shut her down at the panel. The first time, it was general bitchery, which Tyra is always up for, where in the second instance, Meemaw was inserting herself into the 'sacred' judging process. Also, it's one thing to trash your competition behind their backs and another to do it in front of them. That's the whole basis of gossip!

Wow, Meemaw looked better with long hair. I thought that in the posing challenge but this picture just reinforces it.

I wish they'd shoot Anime-eyes in profile for a change; that might give her a different "look." Also, she should show more of that saucy bitchiness that she has in the interviews in her photo shoots.

I like Fo and Teyomboy. Fo is actually much prettier, but Teyomboy will probably win.

TheVoiceOfReason:

Please to enjoy a tidbot from the internetz about Allison/Anime/Samara:

LAjane:

Strangely enough, Rich Bitch actually makes the Great Wall look pretty comfy.

Moving on - I hadn't realized just how deep into her nose Queenie was until you slowed it down a little. Plus, the look on her face is pretty priceless. She's *loving* the nose-picking.

LAjane:

Thanks for giving that link voiceofreason! Actually, the snarkier Anime gets the more I like her. She's definitely my favorite contestant.

thatswhatshesaid:

J-Mo: You do such a great job on these recaps!! I couldn't even get through eating my dessert b/c I was laughing so hard! And NOTHING comes in between me and my banana pudding!
I almost didn't watch this Cycle Rewind, but in the end I did. Did anyone else notice that when they recapped the elimination ceremonies, Tyra's opinion of different girls changed? Most noticeable was Anime Eyes. How many times have they complained she gives one face? Especially the last week with the pink paint all over her face. But in the cycle rewind, Tyra just said it came out beautiful. It seemed like she was re-writing history so that when the winner ends up being someone they previously trashed, viewers won't cry foul! But people will cry foul anyway b/c this show is rigged and most people probably didn't see the rewind since it aired right after a new episode.

yentapatrol:

J-Mo you are awesome,

I loved the Anime Eyes cap!! Thanks for recapping the recap epi and managing to make it fun : )

What? No pics from Pride? Sigh!
Heart,
Yenta

PottyMouth:

I didn't know this was on either! Well, it's a win/win for me. I didn't have to sit through it, and I didn't have to sit through it. We all know your recap was FAR better than watching it.

How lucky can a girl get?

J-Mo, I second Yenta's question - where are the pix from Pride? Puh-lease?

SWAK, Pottymouth

arizonatom:

Great recap J-Mo!

Although this epi was filled with a lot of what we already saw, it was nice to see some of the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor - makes it easier to understand some of what we have seen.

Looking forward to the end of this train wreck!

By the way, for the non-Phoenicians, Pride is currently taking place (Sat 4/19-Sun 4/19) so after performing, J-Mo probably hasn't had time to come home from the bar yet. I am sure he'll post pics in the next few days. (I'm just taking a break from the sun and sweat to relax a bit in the A/C - this is Sun and the last I saw it was 96 degrees! Not the 115 we're used to in the summer, but still a bit too early to be that hot!

Lots O' Love
