Craig weakly suggests that Buckwild check Saaphyri's pulse, so Buckwild pulls Saaphyri to her feet. This involves a whole lot of asscrack, but we've already seen that about nine times in this episode, so it's not really worth a screencap. Then she drags Saaphyri's carcass out of the vault like they're Laurel and Hardy, while everyone giggles quietly behind them. The ladies can barely contain their own laughter as they run away from the vault, positively giddy over the fact that they stopped the ceremony.

Buckwild instructs Saaphyri to "pass the fuck out and don't get up ever." Easy enough, right? They really want to run this plan into the ground, so they come up with some story about Saaphyri having a reaction to her medication. The paramedics show up and practically intubate her, but when they try to give her needles, Saaphyri bolts upright and says, "I'm okay now!" The medics believe this for the same reason Angelique would. No comprendo ingles, yah?

The ladies head back to the vault, where they are shocked to learn that everyone waited for them to return. How sweet and also plan-destroying! Craig restarts the clock at 2:53, exactly where it left off when he paused it before, and begins the voting. He starts with Prancer, whom Angelique, Buckwild and Saaphyri want in the box. They also want Myammee, Ice, Tailor Made, and It in there too, so there's that. The members of the TMA want Buckwild and Saaphyri in the box, so even with all that tomfoolery, those two are still the nominees! Buckwild interviews that "unless we would've just shot everybody else on the show, me and Saaphyri were in that box no matter what." At least they made a hearty attempt!

Craig brings 20 Pack into the vault, and he wants to vomit at the results of the ceremony. At least the medics are still on call, so they can revive him if needed. He manages to survive nonetheless, so it's time for a really depressing Power Outing.

20 Pack starts their lunch by asking Saaphyri why she should stay or go. She says the TMA wanted her to vote him out last week, but she saved his ass, so she deserves to stay. Since Buckwild's her friend, Buckwild should also stay by default. Easy enough! Buckwild says much of the same, but she also mentions that she finished the challenge yesterday since she knew 20 Pack was the Paymaster, which is marvelously inaccurate. Unless they edited this show to pieces, Buckwild is openly lying and everyone's accepting it. This seems like a theme on this series!

He asks Angelique why she should stay, and she reminds him that she's been super loyal. Also, she'd still like to doink him, so could they work on that? She says she'll have his back 100%, no matter what. That comment will probably be her kiss of death. If she has his back regardless, then he might as well send her home, right? Right! Presumably he sends Angelique away during the solo time, opting to keep both Buckwild and Saaphyri for the chat. This sort of defeats the purpose of the session, but whatevskies, this show was born to break rules.

When asked, Buckwild and Saaphyri both insist they're stronger and smarter than Angelique. Buckwild decides to quote song lyrics at this point, which seems weird and awfully useless. Unless the challenge is to rap, that skill doesn't seem relevant. It impresses 20 Pack though, since he starts quoting Voltron or some shit, and he decides two heads are better than one. He toasts to the girls, and Saaphyri gleefully shouts, "Saloon!" instead of "Salud!" And she's the smart one in their alliance.

The group comes home from the Power Outing and Tailor Made immediately takes 20 Pack aside. The TMA wants Buckwild eliminated, so he decides it's in 20 Pack's best interest to do everything they want. I'm so sure that'll work out. Tailor Made says he sized up the competition, and Buckwild has burned the most bridges with everyone. 20 Pack is wisely like, "Why would I send her home when your team did nothing for me?" and Tailor Made doesn't really have an answer for that. He says something about an olive branch, but 20 Pack replies that he can't separate friends.

Tailor Made leaves dejectedly and tells his team the news. They're outraged to find out 20 Pack won't send home his strongest ally, so Tailor Made proposes a plan. If 20 Pack sends Buckwild home tonight and doesn't become Paymaster in the next challenge, the TMA will give him a free pass.

It objects! (Or thinks it's a great plan, you can never tell.)

Thanks for the recap BQ, I don't know if I can watch the show now that Becky & Entertainer are both gone, seems it will be less wild and entertaining, but at least we still have Frenchie! I hope they can get New York onto I Love Money 3. I also hope that Entertainer and Becky can cross over to VH1's sister network and liven up The Hills a little bit since they need a new star when LC leaves.

I watched this episode while my bf was trying to read next to me. He was so distracted that he ended up watching the last 20 minutes. When Saaphryi said the thing about "flying up like a witch and drowning" 20 Pack, he turned to me and said, "Where the fuck do they get these people? And when do witches even drown people?????"

bigjr6633:

"Where the fuck do they get these people?" - that tells u that vh1 does great in the casting department. Can u imagine someone like Saaphyri on the Real World or someone like Buckwild on Big Brother?

Anyway, I'm going to miss Buckwild her & Saaphyri make a good team. Buckwild - white trash, Saaphyri - ghetto hoodrat
match made in heaven!!!

Very funny recap...thanks for improving my mood!

I just want to second that brilliant suggestion about recasting a show like The Hills with our favorite leftover VH1 famewhores. How cool would that be? They could just keep the same (ahem)script(ahem) in place but the Entertainer and Buckwild would play Speidi. Saaphyri could be LC. Myamee might be a good Stephanie Pratt, etc. I'd sure watch it. In fact, I bet that kind of show could win, like, a Nobel Prize or something!

In the meantime, why do I feel sorry for both Tailor Made and 20-Pack? What the hell is wrong with me? Oh God, I hope I'm not pregnant!
