The Vaginankle Monologues.

"I come from the "down there" generation. That is, those were the words--spoken rarely and always in a hushed voice--that the women in my family used to refer to all female genitalia, internal or external. Or, in my case, the place where my ankle used to be." -- Dr. Jeff

This week's episode starts off with Bob talking to Andrea and Suzi about last week's Elimination Ceremony. Bob is shocked to learn that Andrea made it over Shannon. Not as shocked as Andrea, evidently, who says, "It sucks to be in the position that I'm in. Every time I turn around they're like 'Oh, let's keep her because she's not a threat.' But, the fact of the matter is that I'm still here and I'm going to make the best of it." Another fact of the matter: making the best of things is a $15 BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY!

Bob tells the girls "the game is on." Really? And here I thought it had been on the last two months. Bob is so Zen(thura!).

In the gym, Jillian tells her boys what she knows about the upcoming challenge: "Endurance. Strength. Balance. Focus. In a bathing suit." A bathing suit? Looks like she forgot to add nausea. To get the men ready, Jillian bases this week's training on balance and strength, which for obvious reasons (Vaginankle!) can't be good for Dr. Jeff. And he knows as much. "I don't go there saying I want to lose," he tells us. "I don't want to embarrass myself, but I'm a realist." He's also a man with a vagina for an ankle.

"'Vaginankle.' Doesn't matter how many times you say it, it never sounds like a word you want to say." -- Dr. Jeff

Suzi and Andrea, meanwhile, appear to be doing some yoga. Of course, it could just be gas, but the Asian music the producers have picked isn't exactly conducive to a gas montage. Bob is teaching the girls yoga because he feels "yoga's all about working your core strength. Balance. Kind of going into that, quote unquote, 'third eye' so you get yourself more centered, and that's what yoga is all about for me." Funny, for me it's all about the chance to fart in a room full of sweaty strangers. But at least I'm getting in touch with my third-eye.

Suzi hates every minute of the yoga workout. "My mind races all the time," she says. "And for me to get it to stay on one thing is really difficult." Which goes a long way toward explaining her hair. Sort of.

Back in the gym, sparks are flying between Jillian and Matt, who is following up last week's 12-pound gain with a bad case of Mattitude. Jillian tells him he doesn't get to f*ck around this week. At all. "I haven't f*cked around at all," Matt shoots back. No, he just gained 12 pounds last week working his ass off eating steak and sleeping. Matt wants to hold on to the treadmill bar, which evidently is a big no-no in Jillian's world, and she chastises him for it. "Oh, big f*cking deal," Matt says. "I don't want to hear that." Other things Matt doesn't want to hear: take off the f*cking hat!

Jillian and Matt argue some more about his Mattitude. Jillian just doesn't feel like he's that into it this week. In the end, Matt walks out and leaves Jillian a broken shell of a woman. Looks like Jillian picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Later, Jillian puts on her Freud hat and tells us this is Matt's story. He has all the potential for greatness, then he sabotages himself at the very end. "He could've been a national champ (wrestler) he tells me all the time, and he could be the biggest loser, but he gets right up to the end, and then he shoots himself in the foot."

Turns out Matt is just freaked that he's going home in a couple of weeks. "I'm going to go home and have to face everything that got me here," he says. "Being able to walk into a bar. Being able to go into restaurants and see disgusting amounts of food." Bars and restaurants serving disgusting amounts of food? God, I love America. "I am terrified of going home now." So he's sabotaging himself because he wants to go home earlier... Jebus, my therapist could buy a new boat with the money she'd make off this guy. Although since she's already bought two boats and a jet-ski from the bittersweet taste of my tears, she'd probably end up buying a cabin in the woods. And probably the one I told her I wanted to buy. Did I mention my therapist's a bitch?

Kate:

Same thing happened last season with Moe, keeping him till just before finals. My guess is Andrea goes home next week.

Btw, what the heck happened to Dr. Jeff's hair after he got home?!

Ash:

His hair is so much darker! And his head... it seems so tall and skinny. Obviously its great he lost so much weight, but I was a little thrown off by his appearance.
(BTW, Diddy and his gold teeth are back on tonight, heck yeah!)

chick110:

LOVED the pic of "Bob Rollins", too funny!! I actually got to watch this week since CBS decided to preempt my normal shows with some Country music thing.

I think the big difference between Dr. Jeff at the house and at home was that he never smiled at the house. He always seemed to have permafrown. That's why when they showed him at home with his family, he looked so alien. Too bad I'm not watching next week, but I'm hoping that either Matt or Andrea go.

Krissy:

Copygodd how do you know what a small cock-ring looks like?

He knows, Krissy, because he has a MIB Gay "Earring Magic" Ken doll from the 90s. (http://tinyurl.com/9f33r)

And I shall never again be able to wear my almost-identical-to-Andrea's necklace without thinking of Copygodd and cock-rings.

Great recap, cgodd.

i'm irish. which also explains my constant references to alcohol. ;-)

jillybob:

Rollins, Simpsons and an Airplane reference all in one recap? Yes! Best ever.

Dickey D:

I completely agree with the amazingly awesome TV references... I especially loved the Arrested Development one - i'll be pissed if it gets cancelled
