Kip heads back to her room, and then VH1 cues the dramatic string quartet, which can only mean one thing. It's elimination time! Are you guys on the edges of your seats? I know I am, but only because there's a kitty asleep in the chair behind me and I don't want to wake him up.
Ricki reminds everyone that Marcia is safe
Brittanya says that she thinks she's the only one there for the right reasons. I'm a little blurry on what those reasons are supposed to be. Paying for a lawyer, maybe? Ricki decides that Risky is definitely safe, and Brit, Kip, and Bubbles get called down to the carpet. Ricki tells Brit that she thinks she's really there to change and be a better mom, and that she's safe.
Oooh! Ohmigod you guys! It's down to Bubbles and Kip! And they totally don't like each other. This couldn't possibly be any more dramatic if VH1 influenced the judges decisions in order to create more entertaining television.
Ricki talks some bullshit about progression and who has further to go, and based on that she sends Bubbles home. This is the only school environment on earth where you get kicked out for learning too effectively. It's kind of awesome.
Bubbles cries a bit, as is standard during send-off, and wishes the other ladies the best of luck. Ricki breaks up the tension by telling the final four that they're all headed to New Orleans to work with Katrina victims. I'm sure their help will in some way involve collecting beads by showing their boobies or something.
Next week on Charm School: I didn't pay enough attention to the preview. Hehe... Whoops. Umm... Something about New Orleans and beads and Marcia wanting to get drunk. Also, I've decided that I will write the recap drunk because writing these things sober is just starting to make me sleepy. Oh, and I'll be doing a random recap of Paris Hilton's My New BFF sometime in the next couple days so maybe these ladies won't seem so bad after that. Ciao Gasmii. Until we meet again.

It's not your fault, Mik, the recaps are great and spot on. It's just that this show sucks so sorrily.
I'm fed up with Kip, she's just not funny at all. And there's nothing cool at all about her. She needs to disappear into oblivion. And then get dredged up 10 years from now when she's all wrinkled and 100 pounds overweight for a 'Where are they now' special.

Bubbles was the Chrissy Snow of Charm School and much preferable over Kip any day of the week.
will you be recapping Megan fucks a millionaire?

I don't know what I'm recapping after Charm School. I just told Flipit that I preferred a reality TV trainwreck of some sort. There's no way I'm doing Real Chance At Love 2, but everything else is fair game.

As someone who is living with Asperger's Syndrome, I am pissed that Kip got away with calling Bubbles retarded. I realize that the producers probably had some influence, but isn't this show about growth? I can't wait to see Ricki's reaction to all this at the reunion.

TV Freak, Ricki will probably do her fake concern as she normally does... the fake concern she honed so well after hosting her talk show for all those years.
Also, was Heather from ANTM Cycle 9 a good representation of someone with Asperger's?

Thanks a lot, themiki - that picture of the speculum caused a flare up of my PTSD. At least I think that's what's flared up.....
I decided last week not to watch this show anymore since I kept falling asleep anyway - besides, your recaps are funnier and more entertaining than this show could ever HOPE to be.
SWAK, PottyMouth

slutty_whore, Heather from ANTM had Asperger's, but she was obviously very high functioning. Good in a paint-it-in-a-nice-light way, but probably not the most realistic. (Which, for the record, I have AS too. And am named Heather. And am not as pretty, dammit.)
I never picked up any hint of any autism spectrum disorder from Bubbles though. She seems a bit clueless, yeah. She was my favorite girl there though; I'll take sweet and stupid over snarky and stupid any day. Maybe not over snarky and smart, but that's not really an issue here.
Love the recap, as always.

This recap was hilarious. Way to take shit and spin it into sugar, TheMiki.
Also-- before you say no to RCOL, remember that Bubbles came from that show. Just sayin'. So did MILF, but I don't think she was on this show? I can't remember the beginning anymore... it seems like this show has been on since my boobs were still perky.
(P.S. I actually watched last season of RCOL and found it to be pretty funny- it's better than this crap, that's for sure.)
P.S.S. Ricki's fake crying and general insincerity is really getting on my nerves.

Awesome recap themiki, when the motivational speaker said "her leg fell off, all I could think was "oh they got Mrs. Potato Head to come in and talk, cool." And give the skanks, err girls credit, she made it all the way through her talk without whipping out the angry eyes.
Awesome job recapping, you really making something out of nothing here.

Awwww...Shucks. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'll put aside my snarky cynicism for just a moment and say that reading your comments really makes all the crappy reality TV watching worth it.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled sarcasm.

Slutty, I have not met many people with asperger's syndrome tbh. I'll take Hadhas's word for it. I had always assumed she was a good representation, but only because she was about the same level as the only other person I've met that has been diagnosed. I'd say that I was about the same level as Heather when I was first diagnosed, but now I am at a much higher level than I was. Most people can't even tell that I have it.

Maria was the "former model" from Wisconsin who suddenly was rushed to the hospital early on in the season of Whore Bus.
