A crew member gathers everyone in one location to make sure no one gets hurt while they figure out what's happening with the lights. The power comes back pretty quickly, but New York refuses to go upstairs in case it goes out again. She starts to cling to The Entertainer, since you should naturally align with the dude whose knees are knocking together in a time like this, and then the whole house pretty much falls apart. There's the sound of glass breaking and a bunch of things fall from above the mantle, and holy crap, New York runs all the way upstairs and right out the front door. Girl doesn't play around with this stuff! She doesn't even have shoes on her feet and she's out the freaking door.
Punk follows her out, trailed by Tailor Made, of course. A few others tag along in time to listen to New York scream about how there's evil in the house and she shan't enter it again. She's sort of channeling the God Warrior from Trading Spouses. She thinks Lori, who was previously her trusted spiritual advisor, put some kind of curse on the house. Certainly that would be the best way to use her powers. Punk says there's some spirits chasing them up in there, all because New York and Tailor Made were touching. Finally we have proof he lied on his blood oath! Honestly, this whole segment is one of those things where you're like - wait, really? This isn't some kind of bad Saturday Night Live sketch?
New York tells Tailor Made this is why you shouldn't play with the spiritual world. Now the spirits have taken over the whole house, and she surely can't sleep in that environment. She leaves for a five-star hotel (of course) and tells the guys to fend for themselves, which is very gracious of her. You'd think Tailor Made would happily sleep in the yard now, but he actually passes out on the couch. Meanwhile, Punk makes a phone call and tells a friend the haps. That includes referring to Tailor Made as Prince, as in the Prince of Darkness. I like Punk, but dude, that's kinda sad.
The Entertainer starts to hear voices inside the house, and while he's eating some sort of rice bowl in his bedroom, he hears a door slam. Fabulously, Midget Mac is in the kitchen making eggs and he's just like, "Oh, someone's running." It doesn't alarm him that the full-sized men are frightened. His Midgetzu will get him through! The Entertainer insists he's not scared, but when he goes into the gym and discovers it's been destroyed, he screams like a woman. Punk darts in to check on things, and then he and The Entertainer scamper out in terror. In fact, The Entertainer is so freaked out he puts on It's helmet from the presentation a few weeks ago. Sure, the spirits could destroy the entire house, but by God his head will be safe! To It's credit, he calls The Entertainer "Sergeant Asshole," and that sort of makes me want to jig around.
G.I. Joe, reporting for duty!
The next day, everyone is still alive, fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you view things. Punk says he's heard stories about that crazy spiritual shit, but he couldn't believe it until he actually saw it. Now he's experienced it firsthand, but it's not time to dwell on that. Today's his date, so it's time to pump some iron and prepare, rah!
The butler delivers a note to Punk. New York says yesterday the men showed her they were willing to make some huge sacrifices for her love (gag), so as a reward, today they'll get a poolside fiesta. Arriba! Since Punk's sacrifice impressed her the most, he gets to meet New York downstairs for a very special date. He says all he needs is this one date, and aw, that probably means it's going to backfire spectacularly. Every guy says that kind of thing, and then New York goes psychotic on him. Admittedly that's not much of a stretch for her.
New York takes him to a spa, which hopefully won't have the same mud bath that offended her so much last week. The date starts with her talking for like 20 minutes about how he's beautiful - like really, he's gorgeous. Did you know he's handsome? Quite sexy, that one. Sadly, she worries that he might be too good to be true. She asks why he came all the way across the country to see about her. That's sort of cute, but you know what's not cute? Her luftballons.
Girlfriend, no.

Is it wrong that I'm happy about Buddha being back? He's better looking than any of them. I knew it would happen. I had him pegged to win in the first place.
Again, your recaps are better than the actual show. I don't even watch anymore.

"New York is a true cunt if she keeps this stuff."
Best line ever. Losers over at the KID NATION recap got all bent out of shape because I called Taylor a mini-c*nt. Guess what? She is.

Your recaps are so much better than the actual show!
All of my housemates are now convinced I'm insane as I just read all your recaps of this show and spent the last 2 hours laughing really loudly.
"It doesn't alarm him that the full-sized men are frightened. His Midgetzu will get him through!"
Considering who these full-sized men are...

And Reese is right- Taylor is a fucking snot. I know it's wrong to want to punch a kid, but I mean...I just KNOW who she is going to be later in life. So I can wait to punch. If I must.

Is it wrong that I'm routing for Tailor Made? Probably. I don't care.
I feel dirty.

Oh my, It is gone. I may just have to stop watching the show.
Ummmm, nah.
Love the recap, BaileyQuarters!

i am sad! no one is going to love It the way he truly loves...himself...
my favorite It moment:
It presents the roses to New York as Tailor-Made looks on in despair. poor Tailor-Made - what a douche.

Great recap! I immediately flashbacked to the same show with the enormous crazy lady screaming about gargoyles, demons and what-not. "All of you, get out of my house! If you love Jesus, you can stay." That's hilarious, even smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.
I won't lie though, as funny as it was, I did get a little spooked watching it after my boyfriend had gone to bed. I fell asleep singing, "God is bigger than the boogie man" from Veggie Tales.
Goodbye, It. Your nonsensical rants will live forever in reality t.v., as well as my heart. I would love a lemon.

Being so late replying to these, I don't know if any of you will see it, but these comments are the best things ever and I want to marry you all.

Bailey, I have failed you. It's taken me awhile to read this recap, so you've probably moved on to bigger and better and newer recaps, but I'll press on anyway.
(I accidentally erased my comment, so here it goes again.)
Aw, thanks for the shout-out. :)
I thought of you as soon as I heard New York say "tooken". ("I KNOW Bailey heard that!")
It's terrifying me more than a little bit that we're having the same reactions to the goings-on in "New York's mansion":
Buddha's hilarious, yet long-winded "I hate you" letter to Tailor-Made (can we all co-sign on that letter?).
My favoritest (what? that's totally a word!) quotes from the recap:
"New York's boobs spew saline from all her rage..."
"Hell yes, midgets are hilarious." (Midget Mac should be the King of All Midgets!)
"Today's his date, so it's time to pump some iron and prepare, rah!" (Thank you! So I'm not the only one who thinks Punk looks like an over-inflated Michellin Man.)
To be continued...
