I had a new mind-set going into tonight's "Inferno." Normally when I see a preview that includes a possible sexual assault and a Challenge that includes third-degree burn potential, my expectations are astronomical. But as we all know from previous MTV endeavors, great expectations are typically misguided. That is, of course, assuming the word "BITCH!" and the phrase "He's a sucky person!" are not involved.

Tonight, I decided to try something different, and I went into this evening's "Inferno" expecting to be let down. The results were mixed, but that probably had more to do with the fact I saw the preview than anything else. After I saw the teaser following the last episode, I had some crazy scenarios running through my head all week. The one that seemed to stick was Colie getting it on with a couple of guys, Johnny Bananas coming in uninvited through the "backdoor," insinuations of "rape" afterward, and John yelling "You can't rape the willing!" Oh man, I was just soooooo out of line...

While this would have been an amazing development, had it actually happened, from the preview you'd think there was a double homicide in the house. Knowing this information leaves us with two choices:

1) Temper expectations two notches every week. If last week's preview was a nine, assume the upcoming episode will be a seven.

2) Skip the preview entirely.

I'm going with the latter. Watching the preview for the following week is typically a highlight, but it's ruining my "Inferno" experience. I truly believe if I hadn't seen this week's teaser, I would have graded this episode an eight, rather than a six or a seven. I encourage all of you to take the oath I just made up. Repeat after me:

"With my girlfriend as my witness (as she shakes her head in disgust):

I solemnly swear...
To never watch...
Another Bunim-Murray...
Or Liz Gateley...
Preview again...

For fear...
That it will ruin...
My 'Inferno III'...
And my 'Hills'...
Enjoyment..."

Much better. Hopefully next week I don't get let down by my own idea. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Oops, I almost forgot about the current episode. While it may not have been the best installment, I've definitely seen worse. That should be MTV's slogan for this season: "The Inferno III - Hey, it's not our best effort, but you've got to admit, we've done way worse."

The current week started off with a bang, and Jenn led us into the mayhem with this, "You live in a house with 20 people and everyone is screwed up in some sort of way. It's a madhouse." I couldn't agree more, but I couldn't help but try and figure out what Jenn meant by "screwed up." Did she mean they were drunk, high, or just plain crazy? I'm bubbling in "D," for "All of the above."

I wish I could adequately explain what was happening. The best way I can describe the wild partying at the house is a mess of blurred-out asses and belly flops amid heavy drinking and petting. I guess Tonya was getting on Kenny's nerves, because he randomly interrupted the montage, saying, "Tonya doesn't shut the hell up, so what can we do with her besides throw her in the pool? You can't burn her at the stake; they gave that up a couple of hundred years ago." Kenny is definitely still a rookie, because as we all know from past "Challenges," the guys take care of this problem by simply having sex with her.

Ace used this lull in the action to explain his intentions for the "Challenge," "I don't care about winning money, I don't care about winning any type of prizes, I want to prove to myself that I can make it the entire time." HA! Fat chance of that, pal. I don't know what is more disturbing, the fact that Ace didn't come on the show to win money, or the fact that he takes pride in being a strong competitor on a Challenge.

The next thing we saw was Tonya staring at Ace's naked behind, and her saying, "I've seen a lot of naked asses in my life." No shit. That might have been the understatement of the year. After that, Danny shared a few thoughts regarding the evening's activities, "You've got everyone kinda just having fun which is great, but there's a lot of drunken idiots in the house." Man, everyone's stating the obvious tonight. I think he intended for this to be condescending toward everyone except him, but unfortunately for Danny, MTV coupled this quote with him diving in the pool and excitedly yelling about how he saved his beer. Idiot.

Mrs.Meow :

How did I not see this posted the first time? Why are there no responses?


Because we didn't actually get to see what happened, I can't really comment too much, although I will say that having Ace sing Air Supply to me would probably make me swoon.

UglyCutie :

I didn't see this recap on the home page either. I had to go into the archives. WTF? This whole inferno sux ass. I loathe Susie!! I hate that she wants to come off as a "who me, tee hee" little good girl, but she's a total bitch. I need MORE! Man, I miss Veronica, Rachel, and even Beth right about now. I need drama!! And I need it from the pros not these poseurs!

I hope Suze goes home real soon.

Where's the new RECAP??

DP Hooker :

My favorite part of this show was when Bananas was talking about how good he and Ace felt for stepping up for the challenge and doing well. And Colie adds "Me as well." and Bananas totally blows her off and is like "Well... I was more talking about the guys." he must hate her. it made me laugh.

LDawson23 :

This is may be a little off subject, but does anyone know if Danny is still with Melinda? I know they were engaged, but he hasn't mentioned her at all so far.
Just wondering.

Sorry guys! LCon's back is out and he is waiting to hear whether or not he'll need surgery. Needless to say, he can't type.
SOOO, we found a substitute and his stuff will start appearing next week.
Sorry for the bump in the road, and feel better LCon!
