After exchanging a glance, the Twins decide to use this as a segue to ask Masshole James what he thinks about gay marriage. "You really wanna delve into this?" he asks. "You asked for it, you're talking politics!" replies Rikki. Masshole takes a deep breath and says (of course) that he's against it, and brings up the fact that marriage is defined as of now as a man and a woman. He also mentions that polygamy has been outlawed (someone should tell that to those crazy Mormon fundamentalists who insist on dressing their multiple wives in those horrible prairie fashions) and then trots out that tired old stand-by used often in "defense" of marriage: "What if I wanted to marry my dawg?"...
...the dog would make a better spouse...
I don't think a dog would accept James' proposal anyhow. Besides, he should start off slow by asking one out on a few dates, first. Shit like this is so annoying to me, because I hear it all the time, and it's just plain ignorant and stupid. When you get right down to it, whether or not the guy who lives across the street from me is married to a woman, a man, his dog, or an inflatable couch, it doesn't affect my life in the slightest (other than to make me wonder what's up with all the vinyl squeaking going on over there at night).
"Do you have something against gay people?" asks Rikki. Affecting a superior air, Masshole says "Politically speaking, I don't think it's the correct decision." Ahhhh, here's another worn-out chestnut: the old Being-Gay-Is-A-Choice thing. Yes, when I was growing up I thought to myself how much better my life would be if I chose to make myself an isolated social pariah in the vicious world of High School Socialization. That way I could spend lots of time daily trying to avoid getting bludgeoned or stabbed while running for my life, and eventually, me and Flipit and several million others could eventually wind up as Legal Second-Class Citizens in 2008 (thanks, Prop 8!). Makes a lot of sense, right?
Masshole sure thinks so, as he dickishly interviews "I think being homosexual is wrong... scientifically we can prove it's wrong... religiously we can prove it's wrong... socially it's wrong... I mean, who's gonna ahhgue with that?"
...me and every other queen (and dyke) from here to Harlem, buddy...
I guess Masshole thinks bisexuals are okay, though, or else why would he be on this show? I don't think he believes the Ikkis are bisexual though... we've already heard about his Scientific formula on that:
(♂>♀)/♥) = Penises Are Better
After spewing his nasty ideology all over them, the Twins get up and leave Masshole behind. Smart move, dipshit.
Back over at the inflatable wading pool, Dude Jen is getting pissed that Barfly 'Bekah is giving her a dirty look. "Dude, why?" she asks. "You know why I'm giving you a dirty look!" says Barfly mysteriously. "Don't tell me to grow up, though, cuz you're not my mom! It's 'A Shot At Love', not 'A Shot At Motherhood'!" spits Jen. Huh? Where is this coming from? (I'm cutting my eyes sideways at you, editors!)
Dude's not done attacking Barfly, "You're a mom, you have a kid, you think she wants to be a mom before she finds love?" Oooooh, I guess 'Bekah has a four-and-a-half-year-old son, and Dude Jen thinks this is wrong. "She should be a mom to her kid, not drinking cocktails!" she snidely remarks to Stripperista...
...oh, okay, I guess that plastic cup in her hand must be filled with spring water...
Barfly thinks The Dude is attacking her because she's not getting enough attention for herself. Drag Queen Kandi thinks it's really nasty that Dude Jen is talking hatefully about someone else's child and calls Jen "an ugly bitch". I have to say, I kinda agree with them, leave the kids out of it and stop making drama for no reason other than to get other people sent home. These kind of tactics almost always backfire.
Anyhow, Barfly 'Bekah is scared that someone else is going to run and tattle about her kid to the Twinsies, and fearing that they will be offended she decides to go tell them herself. When she gets them into the Jump'N'Bounce/Conference Room she starts crying, which makes Rix'N'Vix get really concerned! No one else is allowed to have histrionics but them! Stop stealing their gauzy spotlight, Barfly!

Your tree is fabulous! Especially with the Barbie topper.
I wish we got to see more of Kandi, she had to have done something!!
And wow, I think I hate each and every one of the boys.
I enjoyed your paragraph about how stupid the argument is that being gay is a choice. Im not gay, but I think its plain to see that its not a whole bundle of fun coming out.
Great recap J-mo. Happy holidays!

Only on page two so far, but have to jump in before it leaks out of my brain:
"and you just know that in Scott's mind he looks just like Matt!..."
to which I reply: and you just know that in MATT's mind, he looks just like Scott!
Also, it's pretty easy to tell the twins apart: one has bigger tits and straighter nose (possible surgical intervention).
Although I don't know which one that is, nor do I care.

Great recap, J-mo...laughed the whole way through!
In the disco-club guy's defense, initially he seemed to not all that into it, then it looked like Stripparella was giving him a handjob...at which point he could legitimately plead an insanity defense, since it's unlikely he knew what was going on at that point in time.
Didn't they say that next week they're eliminating FIVE people? I thought Tila Tequila's shows had the smallest production budgets ever...I think we're hitting a new record here.

I love your Barbie Angel, well I love Barbie in general. And a disco tree? Awesome. I still have my 1978 Disco Christmas album by the Sal Soul Orchestra-you must get it.
My sides hurt a little from laughing. If you weren't so darn creative, you could knock off a paragraph or two by eliminating those trade mark symbols. Have a wonderful Holiday, peace.

Merry Happy, J-Mo!
I don't mind the long recaps - I save time by not watching the show.
I suspect Kandi was edited out after her tragic accident, either out of compassion or advice from the legal department (you decide).
All the men sound like losers.
I've been single and married (twice - to different women). The best argument FOR gay marriage is "why shouldn't THEY have to suffer, too"? (I'm just saying - be careful what you wish for!)
BTW - Your tree is MUCH nicer than the one I drew on the wall of my condo!

J-mo Darling,
Reading your recap was a wonderful treat in the middle of this horrible blizzard. And I totally loved the video of your tree. I so wish Bravo would do a "Life of J-Mo" reality show.
It would be so awesome if you covered the Ru-Paul show. Just a thought : )
Hugs for the new year and prayers that prop 8 gets shot down!!
Yenta

I was watching the show today and I think the Vikki looks like Haylie Duff! I mean, they both look like Haylie since they are twins, but Vikki more so.
Also, when Stripperella was yelling on the table and Xoe, my sister and I debated what she was saying...skank-boss? skank-bot? skank-box? No matter what it was, they are all potentially hilarious insults.
Love you J-Mo!

J-Mo, that's one of the gayest Christmas trees I've ever seen (that's a total compliment).
I'm glad you're back recapping because even a clapfest like this show sounds better when you tear holes thru it.
Merry Christmas everyone!

goosegg1001... Awww, thanks for the tree compliments! I agree, Barbie always makes everything better! It's too bad she can't make there be more Kandi footage, and I agree, the boys are all a bunch of tools. Happy Holidays!
itchy... thanks as always for sticking with me, glad you got some chuckles! It's funny that you mention Stripperista giving Club Kid Josh a handjob, because later on I could see HIS hand underneath the blankie suspiciously close to her crotch area, and there was some back-and-forth motion going there, too, made me wonder if he was letting his fingers do the walking...? Plus, I must have missed the "five people elimination" thing, but I wouldn't be shocked, there are just way too many assholes to keep around, and not enough lovemates!
shantigal... Ooooh, I looooove the Sal-Soul Orchestra, "Runaway" is one of my favoritest songs of all time! I will look for that disco record for sure! Have a lovely Holiday™! :)
fire@will... Joyful Mirthies! Glad to help out by watching and regurgitating for you guys (as always). You are correct, MTV's editors decided to edit out Kandice's more crazy actions out of respect to her family, but her mom went on record saying she wanted all of it to be shown, because that's how Kandice was. Now I'm all curious and I wish we could see whatever it was that got her kicked off, if only so it would, you know, make sense... and truth be told, I'm not personally in an all-fired hurry to run out and get married, the BF and I have no problems being in love without a piece of paper (and I cracked up at your "Why shouldn't THEY suffer, too?" argument, cuz that's kinda my thinking as well...) but I don't like someone telling me I can't do something for no other reason than they want to be mean, and in my view that's pretty much what Prop 8 and other anti-gay-marriage legislation boils down to (I believe it's not the fact of two guys (or girls) being married that bothers people as much as the idea of two guys (or girls) being married that causes people to get panicky and want to pass laws against something that would not affect them in the slightest). End of rant. Oh, and BTW, my BF and I both had a major giggle over the Xmas tree drawn on your condo wall... if this economy crap keeps up, I might just do that next year instead... love to you!
kizarny... your comment is gorgeous! Thank you and Merry Christmas!
yentapatrol... Whooo, sorry 'bout the blizzard, glad I could keep you company in a limited fashion... I have propositioned Bravo for my own reality TV show (to the point where they now have a restraining order out against me) but so far no dice, but thanks for the promised viewership if it ever DID happen, that's so sweet! And I had considered trying the RuPaul show, but it's on Logo, and hardly anybody watches Logo (even *I* am hard pressed to watch it sometimes) and everybody watches MTV... this way I can usually get more than 2 comments on my recaps! *grin* Happy Hanukkah!
aman... Ooooh, I didn't even think of "skank boss" or "skank-bot"! Or "stank-box" would be good, too! I will keep that in mind, and love to you, too!
DrJerkAss... Why, thank you! Compliment taken! I'm glad you're liking this hot pile of holey poo-stained panties, you're right, it's easy to make fun of, and that's the best Christmas Gift I can possibly give people (except for cash)... Merry Christmas to you, too!
love to all you guys, thanks for taking time to chat!
love, J-Mo :)

Great recap J-Mo. This show makes me want to steal a spay and neuter truck and drive to socal right now.
Hey what was up with James Masshat's job title? Is a Boston Wall street sales rep a desperate attempt to make local investment counsolor sound extra classy? What kind of sound financial advice could you expect from this slack jawed mouth breather, and just who would take it?
I picture some nice Bostonian who's been referred to as Sully since the womb saying; "My Wall Street Sales rep is James Masshat, and thanks to him I got completely out of dildos because penises are thurty times better. It's like wicked science." Of course I also picture this guy converting his 401k into a bulk purchase of top ramen.
Anyway it was nice to see Jimbo get the heave-ho and head back to one of the only two states in the country where gay marriage is legal. Sadly they haven't gotten around to those canine marriages yet, which means Masshat and his cocker spaniel will have to keep living in sin.
Anyway keep the great recaps coming and happy holidays

J-Mo, I LURRRRVE the tree! Eddie FunkyFingeRoss would call it delish and gorge, but I'll just call it scrump! ;P
I also noticed the movement under the covers around her groin area and thought that he was strumming her guitar. I didn't notice any movement around him though. One question, does anyone really care about any of these douchebags (male and female) on this show? Usually at the beginning I have a couple of people that I think are cool or whatever. Later, of course, I settle into my faves. But this season... eh. I think the only one I kinda like has no shot because he is gay.
Anyway, have a great holiday everyone!

No, Snooty, the Shot of Love shows are sort of like fish tanks at a restaurant...you're just supposed to gape at the idiots while waiting for your dinner.
Which is usually in the fish tank.
Of course, some people can get emotionally attached to anything.
13 of 14 | Posted by itchy | Posted on December 23, 2008 6:53 AM
waffleboy, I think Masshat's job title just means that he has never figured out that Wall Street is not in Boston.
That Top Ramen idea isn't bad. I mean, it'd probably be a good idea to buy stock in Top Ramen, with the way the economy's going. Maybe Spam, too.
I think there is hope for some of these girls, maybe even the Ikkis themselves, to become lesbians. If I were around that group of guys for long, women would start to look better and better to me.
