We open not too far from where we left off last episode... more fighting between KellyAnne and Johnny. Only this time, Johnny has moved on from exaggerated cosmetic surgery accusations and has resorted to demeaning allegations of insecurity-based eating disorders. More bluntly, Johnny calls KellyAnne an "anorexic bitch." Stay classy, Johnny Bananas.

KellyAnne responds the way any girl would: by screaming at the top of her lungs and banging her utensils into the table. Okay, fine, maybe it was more like a toddler would.

"I SAID, more spaghettios!"

By the way, after having been told the story behind the "Bananas" nickname by our loyal reader, one Kit9 (holla!) I might never refer to him by that nickname again. If you didn't catch the story in the comments section of the recap last week, suffice it to say it has to do with the inappropriately sexual use of produce in lieu of a properly functioning member. See what happens when I'm not hungover Gasmii... I speak almost sophisticated-like. I wonder if now I'll start pronouncing the T in "often" and H in "where"?

I must also mention that Johnny spends the entirety of this episode dressed like an '80s rapper. Including but not limited to a tracksuit and sweat band. Discuss. And while you're doing so, cross your arms in front of your chest and follow it up with the running man. Johnny would want it that way.

The next scene is a summary of all the cliques, some of which Johnny calls, "fem nazi misfits" and the rest of which is sort of narrated by Ev. As some of you may know, I used to hate Ev last season for many reasons; one of which is because she has heartless shemale tendencies. For those of you keeping track, I've categorized her so far this season as "tolerable." That said, every time she comes on screen I'm just waiting for an excuse to recategorize her again. It's like she's one push-up away from being permanently despised.

Over at the bunks, Robin and Derrick are on a bed having a conversation about winning. They talk about how they've been doing these challenges for so long and then Robin gives us that line we've seen in the previews and have been waiting for since before this season even started. Wait for it, wait for it..."D, I wanna know what it feels like to win." And there it is. What a great line.

What really struck me as the best part of this little convo, though, was not The Line, but the fact that Robin found it perfectly acceptable to have this conversation outstretched on the bed wearing a sports bra and pink boy short undies (fine, maybe they were bathing suit bottoms... but still).

Nice undies

This is your big motivational moment for Christ's sake. Put some damn pants on. Did that guy from Rudy stand in Coach Devine's office in nothing but a jock strap when he said, "I want Rudy to play in my place"? No, I believe he did not. Did Apollo Creed's trainer flounce about in a speedo when he gave Rocky the pep talk about beating The Russian? No, no, he too was fully clothed. When Russell Crowe revealed that he was Maximus in Gladiator was he wearing...

Wait, that's a bad example...

Anyway, you get my point. Even ODDER though was the fact that the people with whom I watched this episode just sat there focused on the dramatic conversation...completely missing the hysterical nature of the inappropriate outfit. I found myself looking around the room, holding in laughter just waiting for someone else to acknowledge the humor. Nothin'. Not even a smirk. It's just like when I watch the Jet's football games with my boyfriend and no one else laughs when the announcers say the coach's name...

"Now that was some terrific play calling by Mangini"

But enough about me Gasmii. Cue the fish fight. Here's what you need to know. There is limited fish to eat and Ryan's portion winds up being very small. Kenny blames this on Robin taking too much, which makes Robin upset. Instead of dropping it, she confronts Kenny about it and in the process starts to cry, bickers with Johanna and says she is being attacked.
