Chris says that listening to the panel has him really thinking about what he should do. But there is something in the air. I can almost feel it, or should I say smell it????
Do you guys smell something? The show is almost half over, could it be?????
Oh hooray, hurrah!! It's Eric our long lost Idol. Eric has returned to the flock and joined the rest of the Idols in their happy little house. I'm very happy to report, his hair looks like it is just about the same. It hasn't been washed with anything other than his pure pee. Thank goodness he's wearing a bandana. I don't think he brought his bed and pillow back, maybe they'll buy new rubber sheets and pillow cases for him. Just a thought.

So the Idols welcome Eric back and show him the shrine they erected in his memory. Eric looks at the apple and water. He tells they guys that this is gonna make him cry.
Jamie said the only weird thing that happened was "I caught Jeremy making out with your picture." All the Idols start laughing and all are glad that Eric is back.
Eric says that he didn't want to leave. But when you come back and are received like that, then you really want to be here. I just want to be part of this process. Eric, we're all glad you're back. Especially me, it's awfully hard to watch this show without Eric. Without him, there is not a lot going on.
Uh oh, a Call sheet. It says they are going to meet with an image expert. The image expert will help them reinvent themselves. David says "what if we don't need to be, what if we are happy the way we are?" Jamie (the new PC guy") says with an air of smart ass "well you shouldn't be". Way to go Jamie, I love a smart ass.

She asks David to read the script on the tele-prompter just as it is written. It sounds like a pitch for a game show. David reads it, and he is doing ok, but not great. So Marki stops him and says now every time I clap my hands say "action junkie". So as David begins to read, Marki claps. Adding the words "action junkie" makes David speak more enthusiastically and the pitch sounds really good and David sounds very excited. This is made David feel good and it should help him with his pitch although, he did pretty well anyway.

Next up is Jamie. Marki says she can totally see him as a country singer. Jamie says his passion is music. And after working with Marki, he says he has a pitch.
Next, she tells Chris to get more confident. She tells him to say "I'm going to define my comeback. And if you don't want to help me that's fine because there are forty f***ing others that will help me". Chris says he feels better and thinks he will present it better the next day.
Adrian is up next. Marki tells Adrian that he should say he is back and ready to work. Unfortunately Adrian can't go to the meeting the next day because he has to go to Aruba to open a new show on a cruise ship.

Adrian's work isn't all work, he does get to travel to exoctic places and meet interesting people.

Adrian says I have to earn a living and pay the bills. That's a refreshing thing for me to hear from someone on a reality show. Normally earning a living and paying bills seem like they are for everyone else in the world.

Most excellent recap as perusual.=)
Amazing how Jeremy regrets flipping off the business. Than he went and pretty much did it again in this episode.
He also strikes me as actually having A.D.D.
Also, it was odd seeing Eric as the less zany one this time.
Jeremy tends toward extremes. I think this is why he pays more attention to Eric than the other men.

Darling Annie:
"Unfortunately Jeremy hasn't listened to constructive criticism since he was 3 years old." LOL!!!
Thanks for the laughs!!
Hugs,

Nice job Annie... I am beginning to think Jeremy is on the wrong show...he should be on Tool Academy because he is such a tool. I want to feel sorry for him because he is so messed up in the head, but it is difficult.

Has anyone noticed that Jamie shows a great dry sense of humor?
I didn't notice it until the last couple of episodes.

Nice recap, TVannie! I felt like I was able to follow Jeremy right along through his stupidity and right on down into dumbassery. I'm telling you, Hollywood fucks kids up.
Can't wait to see next week's episode!
love, J-Mo :)
P.S. a teensy bit of constructivity... girl, you can take it further out there with your picture captions, just let yourself go there... love! -J :)

Dear J-Mo,
You are sooooo right. I'm struggling a bit on the captions and the attitude. I must learn to cultivate my inner Diva.
I also should have mentioned the whole Jeremy sex scandal thing.
Thank you for the helpful criticism. I know my inner bitch is there, she's just too quiet!!

I felt that Jeremy connected to closely to the material. This cause him to shut down a bit (emotionally speaking) in order to shield himself from feeling vulnerable in front of people he is not close to(as well as the viewing public)
*tada!*

Dear Shanhox, YentaPatrol, Wintersux and Hoxharding:
I'm so glad you guys read this and comment on it.
Shanhox: Yes Jeremy gave show business the second 1 finger salute in his career. I don't know how he can possibly expect anyone to take him seriously. His behavior is irratic at best.
And Yes!! Jamie is really funny. I wish he would comment more. I think he finds it hard to get a word in when Jeremy is flipping out.
Wintersux: You nailed it. Jeremy is perfect for the Tool Academy. But who would he take? According to some rumors, there are a lot of women who have gotten to know Jeremy in that naked, skanky kind of way. I bet none of them would want to spend a second night with him.
Yenta, yes Jeremy doesn't listen well to criticism. But how can we blame him. He is acting like he did when he was 10. I don't think he's ever grown up.
Hoxharding: Smarty pants.
A little sneak peak, I saw some of the show yesterday and let's just say next week we get Eric in touch with his feelings. It's surprising, in a weird way.
J-Mo, Thank you for the help and encouragement. I love your recaps and feel very lucky to be able to share in this wild ride we call TVgasm.
DEAR ALL:
You all make recapping fun and you have no idea how great it is to "meet " and "talk"about TV shows with such smart and interesting people. You guys are the smart cool group and I'm glad I'm just along for the ride.
Love and Luck:
TVannie
