The next day, they have that chance. Again, Capricorn is the only member of the DFL they have to face, and discussions begin with Brianna's leadership skills. The girls mildly back her up, but Red calls Brianna out on missing the text message from Diddy. Brianna handles that hurdle smoothly before directing the attention on Red, opening the door for all three girls to start calling him out on everything from his ADD to his lack of preparation with the camera. A screaming match between Brianna and Red breaks out over who wants to work for Diddy more, who sacrificed more to be on the show, Red's trusty sob story over being an immigrant, Rosa Parks, blah blah blah. It's not worth summarizing in detail when it's basically like watching two monkeys throw shit at each other.
Capricorn finally puts it to a halt, and the girls unanimously elect Red for elimination. He picks Brianna as his opponent, and they go before the DIC. Red begins his blinking routine, whereas Brianna turns on the water works and hilariously insists "Going to work is what I live for!!!" Sure, who doesn't enjoy getting paid to sit around reading your favorite blogs and planning lunch with your girlfriends from the moment you arrive in the morning? Midget faced Phil is a sucker for tears, and says he doesn't think Red is nearly as passionate about the position as Brianna is. Red gives a wishy-washy answer to that one, but then argues that the girls ganged up on him and schemed to get him eliminated. What, women scheming? I don't know where he'd ever get that idea. Must be an Algerian thing.
"Scheming? What scheming? We're debating the relative merits of tampons versus pads, Red."
The DIC throws the Uptown team out, and discusses Brianna and Red. Phil thinks Brianna has the passion and the drive to be Diddy's assistant, but Capricorn calls her whiney and says she'll annoy the crap out of Diddy after a while. Capricorn then defends Red and says he's being played by the "panty convention" and totally believes the girls strategized his elimination. When Kevin tries to speak on Brianna's behalf, Capricorn interrupts to complain about Brianna missing Diddy's text and how he'd beat her senseless in real life for doing that. Wow, Capricorn is clearly anti-Brianna. Maybe she and Red are boning.
The Uptown team files back in for the results. With a quick fake-out by calling Red's name first -- usually the sign of doom -- Phil tells Brianna that she is not ready to work for Diddy. Once Brianna leaves in a teary mess, Phil tells Red that he wanted Red to go home but was outvoted. AKA Capricorn had his balls in a vice. Red blinks back that he understands and won't disappoint him again. Capricorn then lets them know that since they're down to 3 people and the Downtown team has 5 people, they'll get to pick which one of the Downtown team's members they want to join their team. I bet they'll pick Mike. I don't think he's the strongest of the Downtown team, but he carries himself like he is, which will be enough to fool the Uptown team.
So what did you think? Did Brianna deserve to go home? Did you like the Uptown or the Downtown team's video/concept better? And are you excited about Diddy finally showing himself next week?

Much love to you LoLo, you read my mind about these people... I wonder if Boris is going to do like last week and post another rambling misspelled grammar-challenged rant with punctuation sprinkled like pepper throughout. My guess is that he kept the bikini briefs and tried them on secretly (minus the pants and the tank top, but with the cape and the mask) and spent at least 20 minutes in front of a full-length mirror saying "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me so hard." And the terrible truth is, I probably would, but I'm twisted like that. Just ask juddfan. I think he'd double-team Boris with me any day, if only to shut him up for a few minutes. Anyhow, just wanted to spread some love, and tell you how talented you are, I love your writing (especially the 'uncomfortably aroused' part) and THANKS for taking the bullet on watching this show!
love, hugs & kisses,

(La)Verne all the way!!! I so hope she wins! I find Stephanie and Red to be annoying and Kendra and Mike don't really have enough personality to stand out. Poprsh might stay on till the end...she's good tv.
Is it just me, or does the person who's picked (usually unanimously) for elimination always get saved? It's always the one that they pick to go with them that gets booted off...I guess we'll see if this pattern continues!
Great job, LoLo!!!

Thanks for recapping this show. I love watching Diddy reality TV, but unfortunately I don't have the time to actually catch the show.
