Dear Crabby,
The Baby Borrowers is over. Where can I get my fix?

Dear Couch,
Probably the nearest high school. However, why not consider the awkwardly edited Lessons Learned: The Baby Borrowers? Let's agree to disagree like the boneheads on this show, except for the ones who are wrong, which is everyone except you and me.
-Crabby
Hey kids! Back for one last poke at the dead horse. Although The Baby Borrowers officially ended last week with everyone separated, broken up, crying, and one death (Reggie, the wife of an older participant), NBC wanted to have a quick re-cap of their own, without providing video for me to pull screen shot. Batards! It's sort of a re-grouping after a day-long field trip that deep down no one wanted, but will remember fondly as they get older.
Hosting this show is Hoda Kotb, who I enjoy on those early Saturday editions of some health show she hosts. I normally see it when I'm up too early running errands and the only thing listed on my TV is PAID PROGRAMMING or The Farm Report, which, really? Is that still on? She provides a calming voice during a time on Saturday when no one, I mean no one, should be up. Even the dogs are like, "I know we sleep 20 hours a day, but what the hell?" She's on a stage that I believe is the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson set...nice curtains, NBC.
Didn't want to spend money for a new set...just use Johnny's!
He's dead, so he can't complain!
Ed, are you drunk again, or has the lighting guy gone nuts?"
Hoda says the teens are "a lot more relaxed" since the last time we saw them. Why, are they having sex with new people now? Hmm. She's hosting with TV's Dr. Drew, and at first I thought she was hosting with Dr. Dre, which is a pretty hip name for me to know considering I'm so much of a white girl, I'm almost lavender.
When did Dr. Dre start offering advice?
When it was time to blast a cap in yo' ass.
Seriously, could I be more white?
Dr. Drew looks a little too comfortable onstage and Hoda is way to excited he's there. Round of applause for the wannabe rapper Dr. Drew. Woo-hoo-who is this guy?
Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper's love child.
"We are expecting some lively give-and-take," she teases. Morgan looks like she's lost. Also joining them this evening is the executive producer, Richard McKerrow, who I believe moonlights as Mr. Clean.
Executive producer Richard McKerrow...has stolen Santa's eyebrows!
Hoda explains the whole show concept - teens taking care of babies, toddlers...oh, you know what the hell it's about. It's not my fault the America she's talking to is so tuned out. They show a few clips from the first few episodes - Sasha saying "It shouldn't be hard," and Etta's dad saying, "Are you ready for this?" as Sean wets himself and says, "Uh, not really." Then they show clip after clip after clip of babies freaking out, screaming, crying, pooping, and my favorite, Etta farting. She's a really pretty baby. But the farting isn't very lady like.
As an aside, one of my dogs is freaking out at all the baby screaming. I hear ya, sister, and no worries, we won't be bringing one of those home from the rescue center! Etta's dad is another story, me-ow! Just make sure he's fixed before we take him home.
Seriously. He's hott. HOTT.
They also show the couples breaking down, including Kelly saying, "I'd rather be single for the rest of my life." I have that stitched on a pillow, and given the way I'm Eleanor Rigby-ing myself into my late 30s, I think I can consider that goal achieved! Check and mate, eligible single guys!
Ah, my fate awaits me!
Hoda says, "Okay people, who's ready to have a baby?" a little too enthusiastically, and of course all hands not only stay down, but all the teens are actually sitting on their hands. Kelsey raises her hand. "Not anytime soon," she says. Then PUT YOUR HAND DOWN. Oh, look, the executive producer has his hand up. Look, Mr. Clean, you are an adult with two other kids, so pipe down.

Nice recap of a snoozefest of a show...
This episode actually tricked me into thinking it was a real episode, somehow I missed the finale with the grandparents and got left with this instead. Why TiVO?? Why!?!
Bottom line, all the teens got the point. Even Morgan! (Can't wait 'till she sees herself on tv, btw)
And Asshat most definitely has a VERY small member.
