The next morning the guys are all packing and once again fretting about who will stay and who will go. Slade struts around being intimidating and he decides to confront David, who clearly has ulterior motives to become Jo's manager. Slade sits David down, says he doesn't trust him, he thinks it's all about business, and he (Slade) is here to protect Jo, so David WILL announce at the elimination ceremony that he's dropping out. Okay, do we need a more blatant spoiler here? Clearly Jo is going to pick David to stay and clearly he's going to agree. Thanks, Bravo, for blowing your wad ten minutes early. I guess we can watch something good now.
Later, losers.
But no, the charade continues and Blonde Bangs lines everyone up to reiterate what is going to happen - namely that Jo will choose one guy and send the others home. Each guy gets a turn to tell Jo something, and they all basically tell her she's great and they want to stay. When it's David's turn, we flash back to Slade ordering David to drop out of the competition. Then David announces that he has nothing but the purest intentions and he means that from the bottom of his heart. Denied, Slade! Who saw that coming?
Jo gives each guy a mini speech, telling them how much fun she had on their date and ending with, "...but I think we should just be friends." First to go is Michael, the errant fisherman. Smell ya later, dork. That'll teach you to have your own hobbies. Next off is Martin for talking too much about himself and not letting Jo tell him and the whole world more about her glorious self. Buh-bye. When it's down to Nelson and David we go to commercial break to draw out the terrible suspense. Who will she choose? How will we ever last the three minutes? Surprise of the millennium, she chooses... David! Yay, David gets to hang around another week to go on another date with Jo and annoy the crap out of Slade. Or so we are meant to believe. Right about now I notice that Jo is wearing what looks like a tiny nightie. I'm telling you, this girl is a true debutante. Brunette friend brings out some cocktails and everyone toasts to getting totally wasted.
You know she's going commando again...
This season on Date My Ex, we have a whole bunch more where this came from! There's even a shot of Jo attempting the ultimate feat - trying to squeeze out a fake tear without disturbing the pancake makeup around her eyes. Tune in for that exciting moment!
So what do you guys think? I mean, it's obviously horrible, but is it drawing you in? How much do you really care about who dates Slade's ex? Do tell!
Thanks for reading!

Honey Gangsta, honey, you are so lucky, you don't know the HALF of the inanity of this pair of assholes. Jo's parents won the California Lottery, she is sooooo nouveau riche it's not even funny. You hit Slade on the head, he is a total douchebag AND the house they showed him owning in the O.C. got foreclosed on! (I guess the Amex Black Card that he so proudly displayed during the first season of RHWOOC wasn't good enough to stave off the creditors!) I would be willing to bet blood that the so-called "Slade's house" they are filming in is probably owned by Bravo and/or NBC Universal, not the legend himself. If you had seen them on the RHWOOC, I think two words would have clanged relentlessly in your mind like they did in mine... "pretentious climbers"...
I, too, am all a-flutter in hot anticipation of Jo's awesome rockin' album (when when WHEN will they satisfy the desires of the downtrodden American masses...? The economy is in the toilet and we can't afford to buy anything, we need a new CD by Jo De La Rosa to make us all feel better! I know that just listening to it will make us feel like ROCK STARS! Or maybe just a whole lot smarter, either one.)
And David was a smarmy asshole, but that's exactly what Jo likes, so it was no shock she kept the guy around who made the appearance of spending the most money on her. Que puta!
love, J-Mo :)

David is David Weintraub...he was on that reality show, Sons of Hollywood with Randy Spelling and Sean Stewart. So I wouldn't be surprised if he, Jo, and Slade already knew each other...maybe he is a plant to stir up drama.

Ahhhh, that explains a lot! Well, douchebags of a feather and all that...
Also, just so you know how much of a Mother Teresa figure Slade is, his 5 year old son Grayson has brain cancer, but instead of spending every last waking moment with his dying kid, Slade is off filming a reality TV show. What a martyr!
love, J-Mo :)

Sadly...I do watch the Real Housewives, but always found Jo & Slade's relationship creepy. Anyway I tuned in for this crapfest the other night and barely made it thru. I was not going to watch it...but now that HG is recapping...I may have to reconsider...or just tune in for the recaps.
Also...Jo totally "lives" (not sure if that's her real place) in the complex where LC & Heidi lived in the first season of the Hills. When they said they lived in "the hills" but really didn't...
And that is really sad about Slade's son Grayson, I had not heard that story.

"Oh honey, if you want that piece of crap you can have him. Please - get him off the street and spare the rest of us."
Amen to that. I live in OC, and the less of those guys the better!

So glad to see you are recapping this crapfest! I'm guessing that Jo and Slade will end up back together after this... Also, Michael looked familiar to me - was he on another reality show?

I haven't watched this show (saw the commercials approx. 3,489x during PR) nor Real Housewives ... but saw HG was recapping, so had to read.
I'm so glad I did - will relish the recaps and avoid the show at all costs! Thanks for taking one for the team, HG!

Who ARE these people? I mean, seriously, WHO? Okay, I read the Real Housewives of Orange County explanation, and I read J-Mo's extra bits of info, but... ??? **confused**
I know the TYPE that these people are, and having NEVER been impressed with their ability to wear makeup and preen, while simultaneously being complete idiots, most people I know (including myself) avoid them at all costs. So, why is it that anyone in Hollywood, or at the networks, thinks that the masses give a flying rat's butt about Jo and her Bratz-doll-wannabe cohorts?
All that eye makeup just makes me think they're all trying to be porn stars.
And the guys... ugh. **shudder** I'm not even going there. Especially when the lot of them spend more time grooming themselves than most women. **violent shudder**
Would it be possible to just lock people like this away in their own little fantasy world, and let nature take it's course, or let them kill each other off, or SOMETHING!? Because being continuously assaulted by their inane whims in the guise of television entertainment is SO last decade (and SO nauseating).
My sympathies to you, HG, for having to sit through this.

The only good thing about this show (and the reason I watched about 75% of it) was Michael. He was so handsome yet real because he wasn't full of himself like the other putzes! Goes to show you what a moron Jo is because she DIDN'T pick him. I'll take him!
As for Dumb and Dumber, could never stand Jo. She tried so hard to be Jessica Simpson from her Newlywed days when she was on RHOOC. She always called Slade "baby" like JS did to Nick. She talked in a baby voice (and apparently continues to) and she played the ditz card all the time. When she showed up for the Season 2 reunion show (with blonde hair a la JS), she actually ADMITTED to idolizing Jessica Simpson.
I love HG's description of the makeup. But even the 4 lbs. of it couldn't hide her awful complexion! BLECK!
I'd rather watch a show that just featured the life of Vicky or Jeana's spoiled kids. The heck with Jo and Slade!

I'm pretty sure she's back with Slade. One of my friends went to high school with Jo, and she was at the reunion last week with Slade as her date.
Interesting...
