Kiki is up first, and after some hugs and some crying they get down to business. Kiki says she's done a lot of thinking and changing and she's a better person now. She's also been practicing her 'Concerned Face' in front of the mirror.
Kiki says she needs to work on her extreme lack of patience. That's an awfully nice way of putting it. I would say she needs to work on her terrifying psychotic fits and the fact that she's batshit insane. Well, I wouldn't say that to her face, but you know what I mean.
We get another spiel on how people mistake her confidence for intimidation, and I think that if your confidence is an inch away from someone's face screaming profanities then that's an easy mistake to make.
Next K.O. gets a chance to plead her case. She once again reiterates that she's not a liar, and methinks the lady doth protest too much.
K.O. tells 3bay that the elimination day was the worst day of her life. Dude, if that's the worst day you've ever had then I seriously doubt your stories about how traumatic your childhood was. If the hardest thing you've ever done was done on VH1 then your life has been pretty damn easy.
So now it's up to 3bay to decide who gets to come back. We get some shots of her thinking really hard or something, because we all need to understand what a difficult decision this is. You know, just in case we didn't get it the first hundred times we were told this episode.
VH1 shows us what's going on inside 3bay's head through the use of their awesome new psychic cam. You can tell that these are memories because they're foggy around the edges, just like when you remember stuff in real life.
3bay says she knows people in the house aren't gonna be happy if she brings someone back, and that making this decision is the hardest thing she's ever had to do. Once again, if the hardest thing you've ever done was done on VH1 then your life has been really fucking easy.
And with that, it's expulsion ceremony time. We hear a whole bunch of fresh and interesting dialogue about how it's not fair to bring someone back but some people need to be here and I just zone out until something happens. I might be zoned out for a while.
Ricki tells us that Lala is not here because she had a prior engagement. From what I hear about her, it's probably mandatory community service. Whatever the reason, things are looking up for 3bay.
Brittanya says she needs the money and she thinks the expelled should stay expelled, Marcia says Kiki hasn't been through the lessons and K.O.'s a liar, Bubbles says she sees potential in K.O. and she should get another chance, and Kip says that Bubbles is lame. Bubbles gives some sort of nonsensical speech about compassion, my favorite line of which is, "You have to put your shoes in their shoes."
Let's bring in K.O. and Kiki, shall we?
Kiki blathers some crap about being misunderstood, and K.O. once again reminds us that she's not a liar. You know, just in case we forgot.
So 3bay faces the ladies and tells Kiki that she's clearly changed a lot and that maybe she's ready for Charm School now. She tells K.O. that coming back to Charm School would probably be unhealthy though, and it's looking like Kiki is gonna rejoin the class. Marcia is flipping out a little bit about it, but hey, PSYCHE! 3bay was just messing with our heads. She's decided to bring no one back, drop out, and let the ladies that are there all have at least one more week of schooling.

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
