These People Have Few Redeeming Qualities

It's been a pretty miserable week here at TVGasm Chicago North offices, so let's see what Celebrity Rehab can offer up. I doubt it's very much. Last week the happy ending was boring. Hopefully they don't try to pull that shit on us this week.

Picture 9-7
Woah, Mar. Rehab ages you.

On day 11, Inez, one of the resident techs who is a fairly large and intimidating woman, wakes up Jeff and reminds him about the dentist. Hopefully he won't get any sort of pain medication for that. Drew tells us that everyone is doing pretty well, except for Kenicky. I'll also point out that Jeff was not sleeping in his bed like his yoga instructor told him. So immediately I can't tell if I'm happy that Jeff is creating drama or if I'm annoyed that it could again be the Jeff Conaway sobriety hour.

Jeff does manage to stand up, in his hunched over sort of way, and lashes out at Inez, telling her he doesn't go to the dentist. Then he yells louder into the hallway asking if they check anything. Yeah, the guy can't really handle sobriety, but if there's one thing he's got nailed, it's keeping a schedule. I wish Inez would slap him. But it's more than a wish. I dream of it. If only my dream would come true...

Shelly hears the yelling, and she's none too pleased. I wish her addiction had been rage and not porn/sex because I would love to see her slap Jeff too. Drew reminds us that just yesterday Jeff was all happy-go-lucky and dare I say chipper at the golf course. Then we see Jeff tell Inez that he was hit by a car yesterday. Are delusions normal 10 days into sobriety? That's so weird though, because I was hit by a car yesterday. And then I got into a car chase. And then some people shot at me. And then I had trouble differentiating between reality and what I've seen in movies. It was a busy day.

Shelly says to herself that the car obviously didn't hit him hard enough because he's still yelling, then she goes to his room. Inez is trying to defend herself, and Jeff asks Shelly if this is a joke or an act. I'm endlessly amused at his ability to literally take the words out of Shelly's mouth. Or mine at least. Well, with absolutely no provocation whatsoever, Conaway says he's out. Shelly says ok again, because he's so full of shit, and she walks out, eventually mentioning it to Drew in passing. Day 11, and he's said he's leaving, what, four times? And that's not counting the two days he was out of commission after that initial OD or whatever that was. I would have lost patience with him a long time ago.

Drew finds Jeff, and Jeff says that he's in some pretty bad pain. When Seth was fucking around on golf carts yesterday (is he 8 or something? That was really immature. It's a fucking golf cart) he ran into the girls' cart on purpose which bumped their cart into Jeff's, and now his back is out of whack. I wish he'd actually used that phrase to describe it, but he did not unfortunately. Jeff says he doesn't usually go around yelling, which Shelly looks at with incredulousness, and Kenicky says they don't need this there. So he's using his anger as a way to get out of rehab? Right. This man is brilliant, and his abilities to manipulate everyone will have him out of rehab and doing lines in about 2 hours.

Picture 2-25
Am I on drugs or are those jogging pants on drugs? Or both?

Perhaps I was wrong, because Drew says they want him to stay, and Jeff says ok. I think Drew was probably more like "I do not want you to stay because you are a continual pain in my ass and I think you give society little to no value, but there are cameras here and I don't want to look bad even though I so miserably want you gone."

I think Drew has made some adjustments to accomodate the cameras - including taking the group to a fancy restaurant that most of them would identify with drinking.

I'm impressed that only one patient has bailed so far.

I really like Mary when she is Mary Ellen (not Mary Carey).

Brigette had some nice moments with her boys. I hope, for her sake and theirs, that she is able to stay sober. Her husband seems like a genuine kind of guy.

Vikki could be the poster child for either enablers or co-dependents. I think Jeff has no chance if he doesn't get away from her. Or maybe there will be a show called Jeff and Vikki next season.

Halo seemed sweet. I so hope his dad can get it together.

The normally quiet Jaimee was just freaked about her family and friends, I think. Temporary insanity defence.

hollabackboy:

Jeff is so exhausting. If he threatens to quit one more episode, I'm gonna scream. But obviously, there's deeper issues to why he tries to bail almost every episode. Am I the only one who thought it was hilarious, though, when the cameraman ran away when Jeff got out of his wheelchair. He look really scared.

Venereal Disease Vikki doesn't help Jeff much either. She is so dumb, and such an enabler. She needs to be in rehab.

All the other family cases were really touching and genuine. I think it was a breakthrough for some of the tougher patients, to hear and/or see how it affects their family. I'm not sure why Chyna is there though. It doesn't seem like she wants help or if she's ready for it.

snootchy bootches:

Would it be wrong for me to suggest a drinking game where every time Jeff says he wants to quit rehab, you do a shot of tequila?

Yeah, it would probably be wrong. ;-)

chrispeycreme:

hey fire@will, do you live in va?

wintersux:

Treading, I keep meaning to compliment you on how fast you get your recaps posted. In fact, I always see the recap before I've had time to watch the DVR of the show! I'll drink to that! JK...

RHODA:

POST REHAB: It looks like Jeff and spooky girlfriend are still together. I saw them on a TMZ.com video and they were walking to a restuarant (The Ivy) so they are still together.

He was wearing a contraption like I've never seen. It looked like a cross between a brace, a ride at the county fair, or a thing guys fly around in - that has a big motor on the bag.

First I couldn't wait for Daniel to leave and now I wish Jeff would too. We hardly get to see of the other celebs stories.
