Testimonials

I was incorrect in saying Daniel was going to call his sponsor because he only said a name. The person he decided to call was his manager. Or, maybe again I was wrong. Daniel calls to say he's leaving, and he says his sponsor is coming to pick him up so it's done responsibly. That must have just been a boring conversation so we weren't shown.

Now that's talent.

One of the assistants rounds up the rehabbers, and he says Drew is on his way and wants to talk to everybody. I guess that's what you get for trying to think people, even sober, can act like responsible adults. Mary is pretty sure she's going to get in trouble, and I think she said she wouldn't have even done it had a camera not been around. I do the same thing. I see a camera, I get in a white t-shirt and pour water all over myself. Most people are just confused. Confused, yet probably also aroused.

Daniel says it had nothing to do with Mary, it's all Seth's friend's fault. So at midnight, Gunz Pinsky shows up again, and he asks if everyone's sober. They are, so, step one is completed. Great work everybody! Then Drew starts off saying that everyone is doing a great job. Then it's Daniel's turn to climb up onto that high horse.

He retells his version of the story, like he was on his phone with his pregnant wife and people were basically soliciting him for sexual intercourse. And staff should have gotten a handle on the situation, which he's right about.

Daniel just has acted, almost this entire time, like he's been above everybody. He's sober, he's got life experiences, so he can help. And he does help. But this entire episode it's been bitch bitch bitch. And he acts like he's just 2 minutes away from relapse. Bullshit. He's been clean for months. He's got a sponsor he can call. He doesn't even need rehab, and he's probably just doing this so he can be on TV.

Congrats, Daniel! You were offered a sitcom! Kidding! Stay at VH1, fool.

End rant. Drew tells Daniel to chill out, because the "outside entities" who so egregiously crossed the line are friends/family of other rehab members. It's very easy to see through Daniel's bullshit here. Is it stressful? Yes. This just seems like another ploy to get out of rehab.

Jeff of all people says it's not good for him to leave. He says he came in for a reason, and then Daniel gets all smarmy and says he's been sober for nine months. Well good for you. Perhaps we should throw you a parade for going back in to televised rehab when you're clean already.

Jeff is truthful when he says nine months is shit. And Daniel says he won't go back to using if he leaves. So Jeff asks what they can do for him to make him stay. It turns out that there's really nothing, and despite how much he cares about helping Jessica get clean, he's out.

Drew sees it's a fight he can't win, so he's going to let Daniel go. Jessica gets a special goodbye from him, and I have to tell you, I am feeling really good about her chances. Yep, things are going to turn around for her. Daniel then leaves, and he continues his 'detrimental to my sobriety' bullshit. It's rehab, either do it, or don't start it. Quitter. I digress. Anyways, Mary calls Seth over, and says that when she was texting Daniel, he wanted her to send him pictures. She's wondering if she wasn't part of the reason he left...

The new cover of the Wheaties box.

And judging from next week, this thing is just starting to pick up. So I didn't think this episode was that great. Really the only irritable person was Daniel, and apparently me since almost everything he did annoyed me. What did you think about this episode? Please someone tell me they hate Daniel as much as I did this episode.
