This week's show started off with the arrival of Ripsi's replacement, a rambunctious blond girl named DeAnn. She explained that people always think she's a stuck up bitch at first, but if we come to know her, we'll see that she's just swell. Also, she likes to drink a lot of beer. Unless "pulling hair" and "throwing furniture" are also part of her repertoire, I could care less.

Anyway, like me, Aimee was none too excited to welcome this new idiot onto the show. "Oh God," she moaned. "Another blonde." Apparently Aimee was searching for another girl with dark early '80s hair. Well, while DeAnn got acquainted with her new roommates, our old friend Zara (remember her? Skinny girl, self-absorbed, intensely needy?) was still at Tomik's house. That's right, when we last left them, they were in the throes of passion -- or something like that. The two were making out on his bed, but now, at this late hour, they were dipping their toes into his rather nasty looking swimming pool. Where's Steve the Pool Boy when you need him?

Elsewhere in the City of Angels, Ty and Leslie were gorging on scalding fried chicken (at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles -- a must for anyone visiting from out of town). The two girls were talking about boyfriends, specifically Ty's man, Juan. It wasn't very interesting; so let's just move on.

Back at the house, Jodie and Kerry were alerting DeAnn that basically all the other girls hate the blondes. We could practically hear Jodie and Kerry droning, "One of us... One of us..." DeAnn then informed the ladies that she was the mother of a seven-year-old. Yay teen pregnancy! And just like the responsible single mother she is, DeAnn was living it up here on a reality show. Bravo!

"I don't know what I'd do without him," she said of her son, clearly not realizing that by signing up for the show, she was, in fact, without him.

Well, aside from that whole abandoning her son thing, everything seemed to be just dandy for DeAnn. At least until she encountered Aimee. Turns out Aimee was not a fan at all. She told DeAnn to her face that she reminded her of a girl she once knew. A girl who SUCKED. Great. Later, when Leslie and Ty returned to the house and met DeAnn, Leslie had a much more colorful description of DeAnn: "She looks like every 'ho in the book." Actually, she kind of looked like one of the Real Housewives of Orange County, but I guess that's not really mutually exclusive with being a ho. We all win!

That night, the blondes and Aimee decided to hit up a dumpy sports bar in Santa Monica. As soon as they arrived, Aimee was unhappy, noting that the fine establishment looked like "an old person's place." Clearly she wanted a venue that would be more suitable to her Pat Benatar tribute hair. Well, next thing we knew, DeAnn was telling us how she simply did not like Aimee very much. She was just too negative. She had a cloud of darkness hanging over her. Fascinating.

Back at the house, Ty got on the phone with Juan, and immediately, the two began to fight. She accused him of being unfaithful and then informed us that he had cheated when they were together, so why would he not cheat when she was gone for four months. I'm sorry, but who's fault is it that you stayed with a man who's been a repeat cheater? That's right. It's yours, TY. Don't waste our time with your drama (unless you plan to throw an ottoman).
