She's pissed that Heather, 12 Pack, and The Entertainer have created alliances with the other team. Considering we were just told about her alliance with the Greens a few minutes ago, I'm thoroughly unimpressed. 12 Pack tries to sway Hoopz by being like, "I thought you were cool!" These people are reality TV all-stars but they bargain with the same lines that kids use in those educational peer pressure films, with similar shameful results.
Everyone heads out to the competition, where they're greeted with a couple of empty tables. Real determines this means they'll be skydiving which...yeah, totally. CJ announces that the challenge is called The Crying Game, and while Real assumes they'll be crying as they leap from planes, the goal is just to make yourself cry. Sort of obvious. The first team to have each of its members produce a tear wins the challenge, so the competition is over before CJ even finishes speaking.
No, JK, the challenge actually goes on! The Goldies pick Hoopz to sit out since the teams are uneven and Hoopz is a heartless bitch. Either that or she's a bad actress, but isn't that the same thing on these shows? Luckily for those who lack the drama skillz, CJ produces a couple of crying tools, crycessories if you will. There's an onion, a cigar, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and tweezers. Destiney is relieved since she can use the tweezers to pluck any unruly stubble.
Her transformation to Homer Simpson is nearly complete.
The Entertainer terrifyingly declares that his team will cry, even if he has to cut off their genitals. While scary, this is not totally unexpected so no one flinches. They only stir when they find out that one team member must cry on their own, without any help from the crycessories. Woe! Brandi gleefully decides to be that person for the Greens, although she usually needs some vodka to get the tears going. Presumably she's well-lubed for this competition. Rodeo will cry naturally for the Goldies, which means they have already won. Rodeo cries just thinking about those hard times before the days of electricity.
An unfortunate production assistant draws a mustache onto all the money grubbers as a judging line. In order for a tear to count, it has to cross the mustache. Everyone knows it's not a good time unless your mustache gets soaked. With all that said and done, it's time to cry! Heather immediately sticks an entire onion halve in her fucking eye, which seems like a true commitment to the team until we see Pumkin. Oh, sweet Pumkin. She explains that since she doesn't know what cayenne pepper is, she just rubbed it all in her eyes. The thing is, even if you don't know what cayenne means, shouldn't pepper give it away? It's pepper. What the fuck. Pumkin's face explodes.
Dude, like, pepper is hot!
In confessional, she tells us not to put pepper in our eyes. Oh, okay. Now I understand.
Heather works up a tear, which puts the Goldies at 2-0. While Real digs in his nose with tweezers ala Boston, The Entertainer thinks back on his life at home with the folks and sobs in record time. That's 3-0! Luckily Chance is able to produce a tear from cigar smoke, so that gives the Greeners a slight chance to catch up. Since it's the Green Team, however, shit looks bleak.
12 Pack violates Pumkin's new commandment and coats his eyes in hot sauce, which hurts, apparently. I am baffled. Something comes out of his eye but I swear it's not a tear, that shit is straight up blood.
My Bloody Valentine.
Destiney cries next, which means Gold has four and Green has two. Considering how these competitions usually go, Green isn't doing too shabby for once, and it seems like they really might have a shot since Toastee discovers she can no longer cry on command. She used up all her eye water on that fake injury, dammit! Desperate times call for desperate measures though, and since she can't crumble into agonizing pretend pain, she asks 12 Pack to slap her in the face. 12 Pack prematurely ejaculates with joy and punches her right there on the spot. In turn, Toastee sheds a tear! Hooray, violence!

Thanks for picking up the torch (cum towel?) on this one...I'm only watching this skankfest because I enjoy reading the recaps so much (well, that's true with most of the shows I watch). Excellent call on Megan the Cartoon Cat!
For some reason everytime I watch this show I have the feeling I've been sprayed with a cocktail of body fluids...
I kind of like Destiney (not the stupid name/spelling of course), she actually seems like the most normal of the girls here. Although everytime I look at her face, it seems to me there's something off about it--like it's been built from plastic? Maybe she's a transexual, which would explain the 5 o'clock shadow?
As for a winner...I find it hard to generate much to care about. They're just going to blow all the money on drugs and nightclubs and a stupid car (which they'll wreck in a month) anyway. I like the yiddische gangsta (White Boy) though, it just cracks me up to hear him speak.
Ick, just thinking about these people makes me feel like I've watching one of those 'world's largest gangbang' competitions. I need a shower now.

Bailey Quarters, great job filling Chick Bomb's shoes! I look forward to reading about you blogging on The Entertainer's full blow Britney break down.

I couldn't tell you the name of the show, without having to spend hours looking it up, but I remember years ago reading about a man getting crushed by a boulder on some obscure reality show. The show never aired.
I hated Destiney on rock of love because of her fight with Daisy, and I think her taste in men sucks (Entertainer?!? seriously?), but I was having a hard time not liking her.

I like Destiney, I liked her on RoL and I liked her on this. I can't stand Megan and I am waiting for the day she gets hers--did anyone else see the previews where she was cuddling White Boy? EWWW! But, like you, BQ, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Heather ("Flasher" in chickbomb's recaps) and I am wrecked there isn't more airtime for her and 12-pack!! Think of the awesomeness that is that pairing!!

I am usally rolling on the floor laughing with the commentary. Honestly, this one didn't do much for me. I think you can recap without saying F, GD, and talking about sucking so much (are you a male?). To me that's not where the humor is. To really find the humor in the moment takes a bit more. Just my opinion!

I think you did a great job recapping this train wreck. I miss the biting, hostile, vicious snark.....er, I mean, nice job for a first time recap on this show. I really can't think of any more deserving of total condescension and sewerspeak (and gawd there are so many to choose from). But anyhow, nice job taking the hand off.
I always hated Megan on RoL, but this time around I can't help but love her smirkiness (maybe that's not a word, but like any of them would know that anyway).
Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for the fantastic comments, you guys! I'm so glad you're sticking with the recaps even though I'm no ChickBomb!
PBandJ -- Nope, not a male! I'm actually a very prudish, nerdy girl in my daily life. I'm sorry you didn't like it but I'll try to work on things over the next few weeks. Stick with me and we'll find a way to work together, I promise!

Thanks BaileyQuarters. Stay true to yourself! That's what makes these so fun to read. You did a good job on the recap and I should have pointed out what I found positive too! Hoopz in your grandfathers pants was my favorite!
