Double Shot At Love Finale: Torn Between Two Lovers, Feeling Like A Douche

About 10 years ago (when I still lived in L.A.) I was home in Phoenix and out clubbing with some friends when I met a great big corn-fed bubba from Kentucky who was also visiting the desert. I was instantly smitten with this Magic Mountain of a Man (big southern boys are a weakness of mine) and we danced, made out and exchanged email addresses and phone numbers. Within two months we rendezvoused several more times and had fallen deeply in love with one another. I thought about him all the time, we talked on the phone for hours and the sex was so incredible I thought I had died and gone to Gay Porn Heaven™. The only problem was, I was already in a relationship with a man that I'd spent a third of my life with, someone I still cared deeply for, and yes, was still head-over-heels in love with as well. I lived this insanity for 18 months and finally one day I completely lost my shit and came clean with my longtime BF, who (of course) already knew about the affair, and we decided it would be best if we split up. I moved back home to Phoenix, saddened by the loss of someone I'd had in my life for 11 years, but hopeful for the future. Six months later, my Bubba from Kentucky unceremoniously and cruelly dumped me. I literally felt like I was dying, and could not believe that I had risked everything for love, and wound up completely empty-handed. It was truly the most horrific and painful time I had ever suffered in my entire life... that is, until I began writing about the Ikki Twins...

...and their tacky tinfoil disco-ball wardrobe...

...and now I know what real soul-destroying pain is like: It wears super-short and tight dresses, says "like" every other word, cries a lot over nothing, is insufferably conceited, it's hair never looks clean, it's as dumb as pudding, and it has it's own MTV show... Demon, Thy name is Erica and Victoria Mondreon and this is the finale of A Double Shot At Love! I'm begging you, 'Gasmii, please don't abandon me after the jump... I'm scared and I'm going to need a hug (and possibly CPR) when this is all over...

Uh-oh, the show starts out tonight playing the "serious drama music"! Rikki and Vikki lounge on a bed under a hideous pink furry blanket, it's just after they sent Chub-In-Training home (Thank You Jesus!) and Vikki's asking Rikki "So... do you think the produce--... uh, I mean we made the right choice?" and Rikki replies with a somber "Yeah." Wow, I had no idea that choosing which dumbfuck to send packing was such a solemn and sobering situation, but it occurs to me, they could be discussing the Israeli-Palestinian-Gaza conflict and it would still be impossible to take them seriously because they are plopped in the middle of a tacky porn-movie set...

..."I'm really concerned about all the bickering on Capital Hill between the President and the Senate over this economic-stimulus bill."...

Nope, they're still ridiculous. Anyhow, Vikki's still hurt, angry and upset over Gnarly Trevor's cryptic comment during elimination about how he had "said something to Rikki that he hadn't said in a really long time." Whatever could he have meant by that? Rikki interviews that she doesn't really want Vikki to know about Gnarly's declaration of "love" for her, and tries to lie and say that Trev told her he was falling in love with both of them. Vikki recalls he pretty much just said he had a lot of fun with her (which is manspeak for "You're easy.") Burrowing deeper beneath the itchy-looking blanket Vix laments, "Whatever, it doesn't matter, he's here now, I'll make the best of it, if he feels that way about you and he doesn't feel that way about me then... there's nothing I can do about it anyways." Wah wah wah, go wash your hair.

Cue the flashbacks of all of this season's wacky antics by these fine and upstanding youths who are our brightest and best hope for the future... all the drunken partying, silly competitions, sloppy kissing and fake tears have led us to where we are today... tonight's "exciting" finale. Who will they choose?

J-Mo;

Great recap! YAY for TVGasm in that I can find out what happened without actually having to watch this episode!

This crap-fest has been SO lame, and I am sorry that you had to watch every minute of it in order to satisfy our desires to know what happened. You deserve something special for sticking with this POS.

Hopefully Trevor will smarten up and decide to marry his skateboard instead. And the Ikki twins will go back home to live with their (fugly) parents & siblings and just decide to be incestuous-bisexual-lovemates and never appear in public again. They can enjoy each others' fake noses, bewbs, and whatever other parts they both bought at "Plastic Parts 'R Us" (after they drove right by "Brains 'R Us).

Ikki sure does describe these two to a "T", but they should have spelled it the Icky twins.

One more short recap and it will all be over. Hang in there!

Lots O' Love

itchy:

Ah, J-Mo, I sincerely feel your pain here and congratulate on making it all the way to the end. Trevor ought to have picked you....

This type of show always becomes lame toward the end, as the fun-testants trickle down to just the earnestly boring few. They ought to figure out a way to reverse the process, so that the finale ends up just a big huge skanfest mess.

Oh wait, that was the reunion show.

I sincerely hope the Ikki twins finish their careers as Twistys models.

blazergirl:

Thank you so much J-Mo for taking on this crap fest of a show for our sakes. You did a fabulous job and I can't wait for the next show you recap!

areyoucliff:

O my J-Mo. I couldn't have guessed at the shape you would be in after recapping this show. I should have guessed just at the way I felt after wacthing some of the shows. preferring the recaps to actually watching. what can we send you? a box set of golden girls or designing women? you know that mary jo shively could bring the pain to the ikki twins. I should send you an afghan to wrap up in when you take your drinks on the lanai. and a box of Bon Bons and a fifth of vodka to take the sting out. thank you for the good times! please don't be discouraged. hope to see you recapping another show soon!!

anicho01:

Well, I thought it was pretty obvious that both women would pick the guy. However, I don't understand his sudden switch, especially since he 'covertly' re-stated it again during the last elimination ceremony.

Also, I don't understand why the twins are so big on people telling them apart but then get angry when someone does and says they'd prefer to pursue one Ikki twin as opposed to both.

shantigal:

J-Mo, you made it through and with no infections. I'll watch the half hour show so you're not alone. Maybe they'll announce that this is the end of this lame series. Maybe? Hope you'll be recapping one of the hair shows next so you can get the twins on for nice wash and set.

You have given your readers hours of fun and I for one, cannot thank you enough.

kelsey:

I thought the best part of the episode was when Rikki came back out and the new power couple turned to look at her like she would be wielding a huge butcher's knife. I'm pretty sure there was even a scary noise in the background.

And was I the only one who thought that Rikki would pick Trevor and Vikki would pick Rebekah and everyone would end up (MTV) happy? Probably...I'm just a hopeless romantic!

waffleboy09:

J-Mo, you went above and beyond the call of duty on this show, no matter how far down the evolutionary totem pole they took us, you managed to make it entertaining, thank you so very much!

And as for going down, I think we finally touched bottom on this episode when we meet the Ikki dad.What the hell kind of father pictures his daughters as trophy wifes? Who looks at his little angels and say, "I hope that someday the man that you marry is some middle aged real estate developer, who ditches his wife and and teen aged kids for you, a set of hair plugs, and a viagra prescription"?

Oh and don't get me started on him showing the Ikkis naked pictures on the internet. Uggh! If there was anyone who deserved to sit across from Chubber Scott and watch Scotty chew with his mouth open and dribble snot for an entire meal, it's this guy. Man just thinking about this guy makes me want to scrub with bleach.

Anyway J-Mo, great recap ann a great season, thanks!

LisaMay:

Okay this finale was just soooo fake. From the minute Vikki was trying to look so concerned about what Rikki said to Trevor about being real with her, to Trevor obviously trying not to bust out laughing. Perhaps the only person being any kind of real was Barfly Bekka but these other characters need to take acting lessons.

fire@will:

Thanks, again, for finding humor in such a dreadful show. Not to mention, allowing most of us to avoid watching. Way to take one for the team.

I did feel for Bekuh, but I think your analysis was spot on... she dodged a pair of bullets Oor whould that be TWO pair?).

chelle:

Thanks again J-MO, you really do an incredible job with the recaps! Can't wait for your next season.

yentapatrol:

J-Mo Darling,
I think we should start a time and date pool for the Ikki's announcement that they've dumped Gnarly's bony tuchus. I hope he at least gets to sample their dubious joys first.

You are so wonderful to have taken on this monster and made it in to something truly funny. I hope Flipit sends you and your BF on a paid vacay somewhere warm and sandy and tropical. But don't be gone too long. I'll get very depressed if I don't get to read your recaps.
Hugs,
Yenta

J-Mo:

arizonatom... you're certainly welcome, and LOL @ Trevor marrying his skateboard (it beats proposing to his dog like Masshole James would have) and at "Brains 'R Us" (plus, I had to giggle at "bewbs"... have you been rereading Top Design?). Lots of love right back atcha!

itchy... Awww, shucks, thank you, I think Trev owes me something, too (but not a date, he is sooooo not my type) and forgive my ignunce, but what is a "Twisty's model"? I hope it's really awful...

blazergirl... thank you sweetie, it was (mostly) my pleasure!

areyoucliff... awww, how kind of you to offer so many fabulous prizes, thank you so much! I think alls I need to get right again is a case of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and some kielbasa. Oh, yeah, and a different show, LOL!

anicho01... I used to wonder about why the Twins acted like that, too... until I realized it's because they are both insanely self-centered!

shantigal... thanks for watching that show, I bet we were the only two! Thanks so much for your kindness... :)

kelsey... I would have thought they would have picked each other the way you describe, but then there wouldn't be any drama and possibly a second season of this crap! Aaaugh!

waffleboy09... OMG, you are like my soul-sister regarding Daddy Ikki, I know, what a dickface, right? Nothing like demeaning your kids that way and basically saying you see them as whores. Nice parenting skills! LOL, I love your comments, you crack me up! love & huggles!

LisaMay... I agree, they're not good at making this scripted shit seem realistic... perhaps with the money they earned from this season the Ikkis will enroll in a master class or two.

fire@will... you're welcome as always (and LOL @ "TWO pairs of bullets")! Poor Barfly...

chelle... thank you darlin', I appreciate the love!

yentapatrol.. thanks so much and I agree, we should be counting down to VikkiTrev Implosion™, because you know it's on the way! love to you, too!

Thanks everybody, there should be the final FINAL recap up today!

love, J-Mo :)

PottyMouth:

Hey everyone - just a heads up. The final final recap IS up. For some resaon it looks like it posted on the next page after the reunion special.

Just wanted to make sure you all knew it was out there!

J-Mo:

Thanks for the heads-up Pottymouth! There was a system glitch, the recap is now under it's separate listing on the main page... eeeeee, we're all done!

love, J-Mo :)

Snootchy Bootches:

J-Mo,

Great recap, as always. I'm sorry you had to trudge through this major pile of poop for our enjoyment, but we do appreciate it.

All season I've been saying that the twins need nosejobs. Now I know why. They have their mother's nose. Yikes that is a schnozz!!

And I also saw the "both pick Trev" scenario from several episodes ago. Could they have made that more obvious? Cripes. Never thought I would actually miss Tila, but there you go.

Oh and one last thing... is it just me or does Little Debbie look like she grew up to be Judge Judy? lol
