The tall bald guy starts us off by telling us that he is a former racist skinhead. He talks about beating people up by putting razor blades on his boots and kicking them mercilessly. The short gay guy informs us that the former skinhead and his buddies once beat him within an inch of his life, but that through compassion he forgave him and they now work together to educate others. I'm totally not gonna make fun of that. I think that's beautiful.
I will, however, take issue with what's written on the chalkboard.
Kip says she would never be able to forgive someone if they beat her up with razorblades, and I kinda get where she's coming from, but I think Kip's the type that would never be able to forgive someone if they cut her off on the freeway or looked at her kinda funny that one time.
Bubbles assures us that no matter how mad she got at someone, she would never beat them up with razors in her shoes. Rest easy guys. I know you've all been having nightmares about Bubbles beating the living shit out of you.
So we hear a lot of talk about how important forgiveness is, and they ask the ladies if they can reach out and forgive someone for something terrible they've done. Marcia talks about forgiving her stepdad for being an abusive asshole, and it's a very emotional moment. Risky seems to care very very deeply.
Stryker asks 3bay what's on her mind, and she expresses that she really thinks K.O. should be there instead of her. Jesus, 3bay, are you going for sainthood? I understand feeling like you've learned and all, but there's a hundred grand at stake here. I don't know, maybe she's super nice, or maybe she's just vying for title of next years dean of students, which probably would pay more than a hundred grand in the long run. I've got twenty bucks that says 3bay will be back on Charm School next year, and most likely in Lala's place.
So it's the next day, and Stryker calls 3bay into the principal's office for a word with him and Ricki.
3bay tells Ricki and Stryker, for like the dozenth time this episode, that K.O. needs to be there more than her and that she would like to give up her spot. Stryker throws everyone for a wild curve by suggesting that if 3bay is going to give up her spot she should be able to give it to whomever she wants. 3bay decides that it would be either K.O. or Kiki, although her reasoning behind that decision kind of confuses me. Look Saint 3bay, Kiki is fucking crazy as hell and what she needs is a steady diet of benzodiazapenes, which they aren't gonna be able to give her at Charm School. K.O. is an attention whore, and I don't see how sticking her on television where she gets a bunch of attention is gonna help that. Why not bring back Farrah? Or Gia? If anyone needs help here it's Gia.
So Ricki tells 3bay she'll give her a chance to talk to K.O. and Kiki and then decide who she wants to bring back. 3bay heads back upstairs to face the shitstorm of angry girls who don't think anyone should get a chance to come back once they're expelled. 3bay tries to play it off like the meeting wasn't about anything important, but the cunning whores are onto her, and proceed to unleash their disease infested claws. There's a lot of blah blah compassion, blah blah not fair, blah blah going on and I'm getting bored as hell. Could someone please give these girls some tequila and baseball bats or something?
So Ricki interrupts my mid-episode nap by calling all of the ladies down to the short bus for some sort of compassion field trip. God, this episode is dull.
So the ladies arrive at an animal shelter, and we meet this lovely woman.

Is he the cutest kitty that ever was? Oh, sorry. I was just looking at your new kitten. What's his name? Spot would be the obvious choice.
Stryker ain't hot. He used to be a radio personality here before he "hit the big time" with LoveLine. He epitomizes "a face made for radio" IMO. His name is hot, though.

And to think, this episode was the highlight of the whole season this far.
This episode is like having sex with someone who is clearly not into it at all, you know the type, she just lies there, not moving, eyes closed, stiff as a board, you wonder why she even bothered. Who wants to come into that? The only thing to do is to tuck up and get the fuck out of there.

Pixie-- His name is Loki. The Monroe-esque beauty mark was adorable, but he's a boy so we couldn't figure out a way to tie it into a name.
Itchy-- I'm with you, except imagine having to stand over that uncomfortable sex scene taking stills and typing up a recap. Yeah... This week was rough.

Stryker is OK looking, but I think Brit is horny, so I take anything she says with a grain of salt. Like everyone else, I wanted this ep to get better, but it never got off the ground and ultimately was a waste of time. Bringing people back just to not let them back into the house... repeating everything every five seconds... whatever....

Just curious for those who know, what was 3Bay like on Real Chance at Love?
That's the one "of Love" show I couldnt bring myself to watch...just wondering if she was like this on that show as well, or if this is a new side of her.
God knows why I am still watching this. It took me 4 nights to get through last week's episode; kept falling asleep after 10 minutes of watching. Now I feel like I have to keep watching to see how it ends.

Considering that Stryker is the only male in the house (Insert Natasha Joke), I'm guessing he must look hot to the girls. Plus, keep in mind that Britt competed for the love of Bret Micheals...
Was I the only one with 3bay this week? If she's changed, what is the big deal about letting other girls who need it more have a chance. Yeah, she gave up 100k...I think the change is probably priceless, but w/e.

Except I don't buy the 'change' angle one bit. This skanks are there for the cash. And you'd think the winner SHOULD be the one who has improved most at the end.
But I've said it before, the entire concept of this show is assbackwards.
But really the show was supposed to be just an excuse to get a snatch of loud obnoxious skanks permanently drunk and watch the fur fly.
But it seems to me they took away the alcohol (because they were seriously endangering Marcia's health)...and the result, well, these personality-challenged idiots are just plain boring, aren't they? Even Kip. Especially Kip. What a huge letdown she is.
Farrah turned out to be the smartest one, she bailed at the right time.
I'd much prefer Beauty and the Geek. That was a great show. And I actually believed that at least some of those people went through an actual transformation. Why not bring that back?

Itchy-- Wasn't the most heinous character in the history of Charm School (Meagan) a finalist on Beauty and the Geek? I guess those life changes don't really stick.
8 of 16 | Posted by themiki | Posted on July 6, 2009 9:59 AM
Megan wasn't really heinous; she just exposed Sharon Osbourne to be the bitchiest woman on the planet and in need of Charm School herself. After quitting ILM 1 after screwing over everyone and having no discernible skills (other than those probably kept mercifully off-screen), she left a bad taste in my mouth for that more than anything.
9 of 16 | Posted by slutty_whore | Posted on July 6, 2009 12:26 PM
Megan played a different character on Beauty and the Geek (ditzy but sweet blonde), which is why she won that show.
Afterwards, she (i.e., her agent) redeveloped herself into the evil bitchy character, which worked out pretty well for her, since it got her on three more shows, and ultimately her own 'love' show.
And love or her hate her, at least she made her shows interesting most of the time. There's nothing comparable to her this season, which is why it sucks so hard.
Although her act started to get old, I agree.

Your new kitty is so freaking cute!
Another awesome recap for a bunch o' boring skanks. I never thought it would be possible that Kip and Brit could put me to sleep, but that's just what they did! I fell asleep while watching this show!!
Luckily I have you so I don't have to attempt watching it again!
Mechanical bullriding seen through the eyes of themiki should be AWESOME!
SWAK, PottyMouth

Loki is a great name, but you might pay for it down the line if he tries to live up to it. I remember those Norse myths.
Hmmm, mechanical bullriding in charm school? Intriguing. What important etiquette lesson will that teach?
Why would ANYBODY bail on $100,000?

I have actually met Stryker, and he is MUCH better looking in person. He's also really nice. I've been listening to the guy for years on KROQ, plus played hours and hours of Need for Speed with his voice in the background, so I have a soft spot for the guy.

I read the VH1 interview with 3Bay after she left. Y ou are exactly right too! She is angling after one of the Dean spots on future Charm School seasons. She said she doesn't want to do reality, but more actual acting. Yeah, being one of the deans is sooo much better. Anyway, she also said the money didn't matter to her. According to her, after taxes what she would end up with is waaayyy less than what's in her bank account! Being an loud mouth, out-of-work wanna-be actress must pay great these days!! Or she's a liar. Yeah_ I'm goin with that.

Pottymouth-- I fell asleep TWICE watching this episode. Didn't actually make it all the way through until I watched it on my computer while doing the recap and grabbing stills. Yeah, it was that boring.
Pixielated-- Loki has already earned his name, and that is how he got it. My roommate wanted to name him Chairman Meow, but I put my foot down on that one. Something about people who name their cats with cat puns makes me want to punch them in the throat. Our other cat is named Dante (after the Divine Trilogy) and it was pointed out to me that both our cats are inadvertantly named after Kevin Smith characters. Haha, whoops. Oh well, I like Kevin Smith.
Purplex-- I have no hate for Stryker. I actually like him on Loveline and stuff... I just didn't see him as hot. More like little brother cute.
Brattygrl-- Let's see, after taxes the price money would be roughly 60k. If that bitch has more than 60k in her bank account then I'd like to know what the hell she's doing in the ghetto having to pack heat.

@ Brenda Walsh,
3bay was an effin bitch on her "love" show. Just like at the beginning of Charm School when she got in Bubbles face for no reason. She was Kiki only more annoying because she was the "educated" one on her show.
All of 3bay's interviews were so ridiculous. She sounded like she was giving up a kidney to save a life. And her biggest fan? Herself.
BTW, my niece named her kitty Mittens but Bruce would have been better since he springs out of nowhere like a little ninja with his paws posed like a tiny furry karate kid
