Last week on Celebrity Rehab, Daniel's Bitch Hour both bored and annoyed all of us. But after he checked out, we heard about some sort of situation involving possible sexual/suggestive texts between Mary and Daniel. And it looked like things were just about to get interesting. So let's check out what happened this week when we're going to see maybe 5 interesting minutes and then there will be much disappointment.
I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I think this music box you gave me is wasted.
So today is the beginning of day 8, which, which actually began last week when Daniel left. Shelly wakes everybody up, and Jessica is apparently really grumpy in the morning. Also, she's probably sad that Daniel is gone. She lost her rehab daddy, and he touched her like a father. Perhaps that's what's wrong with her, her perception of good "father" touching is bad.
Shelly tells Drew that everybody is emotionally exhausted that morning, and he fills in Sasha (the chief nurse) in on what happened. Drew then mentions that people were telling him that "things were going on" that they're probably not comfortable talking about in group. That sounds incredibly ominous. And very intriguing. I'm on board Dr. Drew. He also says there's "funky stuff" going on. Jeff is really fragile, so he can't tolerate anything. Again. They can also tell that something's going on with Mary. They're damn right there's something going on.
Drew is bringing in a therapist who used to be in porn and is going to talk to Mary. Shelly says "Yay" unexcitedly, because she also used to be in porn. Can we get some kind of research going, what were some films Shelly was in? Yeah... that's what I'll call it, research...
I'll be at the library.
So Mary walks into her session with Dr. Sharon Mitchell, knows who Sharon is, and they hug. Do you think she's a real doctor? Or, is this like a Dr. Phil thing? Anybody can call themselves a doctor. You know those shirts that say "Trust me, I'm a doctor"? Legally binding. At least, the guy who gave me an exam a few days ago said that, and his van was parked pretty well in a dark alley, so I'm guessing he knew what he was talking about.
Well, this woman has certainly seen a doctor. Or twelve.
Mary says she's feeling good, and since she was 21, 4 days is the longest she's been sober. Wow. I thought I drank a lot, and also my salary doesn't really allow me to drink THAT much, but even I've been sober, for, like, a week since I turned 21. And I'm younger than Mary!
Sharon mentions that she is a real doctor (she got her graduate). Then Drew mentions Mary's situation with Daniel, and Mary goes into it. She hesitates at first though, saying, "I hope this doesn't break up his marriage." Sharon thinks the whole thing is kind of suspicious, and Mary continues. He wanted her to go into the bathroom, and he asked her about movies she's been in and where he could get them. When did Daniel Baldwin turn into Creepiest Guy On The Planet? All he needs to do is keep his car parked outside of Rehab with binoculars focused on Mary and he's got the title. Or maybe make little hair dolls of her. Yeah, hair dolls would be worse.
Mary says the whole thing made her wonder about Daniel's sex drive, if that was something driving him to think about using again. Drew tells her it's a great insight. He also mentions how she dressed yesterday, which I'm guessing was probably slutty, and now today it's totally back to normal non-slut. Or, Mary Carey's non-slut. This is a total therapy session, not that I know anything about it, because Drew and Sharon are both guiding Mary to developing her own conclusions.

I imagine that it wasn't 100% Daniel in that situation. As it was mentioned, it takes two to tango. Plus, that is a role that she is comfortable with and it gets her a certain amount of attention. I do think she wants to change though.
Vicki is such a SKANK! I think she is as big of an addict as Jeff. Plus, I don't really think she wants him to get better. If he is aware of what is going on around him, he might figure out how she is using him. Remember that argument they had a few episodes where they briefly broke up? Jeff was like... "Give me the keys to my cars, my house. Give me the credit cards".. etc. He is her meal ticket. As much of an a-hole as Jeff can be during his bad times, that makes me feel really bad for him.

Vicki definitely becomes uglier and nastier every time they show her on camera. You would definitely have to be loaded to tolerate her skanky ass every day.

Sharon Mitchell is AWESOME...read the book "The Other Hollywood: The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry" for LOTS about Ms. Mitchell. She was a live sex & porn performer in NY in the 1960's & 1970's and if memory serves she was the last to perform with John Holmes before he got sick & died. She survived 25 years of heroine addiction and a stalker who nearly beat her to death and then got a PhD in public health and started the clinic that tests all porn actors & actresses in Hollywood to keep the industry safe. She's amazing.

Ok...so Ms. Mitchell's PhD isn't as legit as I thought...she's still a pretty interesting character.

I really feel for these people.
I don't mean Daniel or Ricco, they're both pretty much scumbags. Even though Ricco is not as bad as when he first got there.
But I don't know, some of the others' stories and seeing them being vulnerable and emotional it does make me feel for them.
Chynna Doll was a hot mess on "Surreal Life 4", and we did get too see a little bit of why that was [her abusive boyfriend]. But hearing the stories of her and her childhood and her mother really makes me view her and her antics differently.
Also, seeing Mary Carey doing that ballet scene and talking about how that was her childhood dream made me see her in another way too. It made me feel as if she really wants to be more than porn now. People tend to judge porn stars really negatively. But no one takes the time to realize they're more than that job, they're real people.
I know this comment may be a little too serious and sentimental for the rest of you. But I think this is a really good show, that shows the emotions and pain that is behind
some people's addictions. And I really hope they all get better soon.
By the way, was this filmed before or after Jessica's arrest?

It was filmed before her arrest. She is back at the same rehab place. Dr Drew went to Florida where she was in jail and pleaded to be able to help her. He even worked hard to get CA to give permission for her to travel there. However, the judge told her that she was an addict not a celebrity so she is not allowed any interaction with cameras.

When Seth was talking to his son, I had to wipe away a few tears.
Chynna doll confuses me. If she's saying she's not an addict, then what is she doing there? Did she go to rehab to make someone else happy? Or did she just need a job? Does anyone have any insight on her? Cause I'm just not getting it.
I wholeheartly hope these poeple make it. I can't help but to root for them.

i agree with gottaloveit. chyna is dumb. why are you in rehab if you dont think you have a problem? i dont think they should have someone in there who doesnt want help. its not a forced place, so i really dont see the point in her presence. it just confuses watchers.

suedisco - what did you find out about her PhD that made it not legit?
i agree tho with hollabackboy, this show is really touching.. at first I just thought it would be the most hilarious thing, but now I'm realizing its both funny and heartfelt at the same time. And to the recapper - you are doing such a wonderful job! Lately it seems recaps haven't been that funny, but this one always makes me lol.
