Great recap KittyKitty. I felt the same way about Arissa and Irulan. I can't believe they're like 28 years old and still acting this way. You'd think that once you saw yourself on TV looking like an ass the first time around, you'd learn and try to come off as less of an ass next time. Nope.

I loved how Irulan actually showed him the little bump on her leg and said "i hope this was worth it" as if she had lost a limb because frank decided to drive drunk or something. She seriously acts like a 4 year old.

Also loved when Irulan was about to get on the phone and Trashelle walked in and was like "whaaaat? i was just at the bar...." shocker.

i really hate irulan. I agree with Emilita that you think she would learn to act more mature and less like a child than last time but oh no, that would be taking responsibility for yourself. who does that?

I was absolutely astounded by the time this episode ended. Just to make doubly sure I have this right:

Frank was goofing around. Irulan got pissed. Irulan took it upon herself to chase him all over the place. Irulan tripped over a chair. Irulan got a tiny mark on her knee. This is somehow Frank's fault. Irulan pouted. Alton wouldn't kiss her ass and tell her she was right. Irulan pouted more. Irulan decided to pull out all the stops for sympathy and declare she wanted to take her toys and go home.

And somehow, Trishelle felt that Irulan was actually justified and that Arissa's disgust at Frank absolutely trashing a place that didn't belong to him WASN'T justified???? (sorry, I have to side with Arissa on this one)

Somebody, please tell me that there was so much more legitimately serious information to warrant all of this that was edited out, because I'm appalled that these nearly-thirtysomething people are still acting like twelve-year-olds. It literally sickens me. I may be calling it quits and refusing to watch the rest of it. That would be 90 minutes of my life I'd never get back.

I'm glad you pointed out how hilarious/awesome Trishelle was in this episode. My favorite was right after Irulan stormed out, she says to no one in particular, "I thought I was going to be the one to cry and leave." HA!

I disagree in a major way. Although Irulan and Arissa are petulant and spoiled, they are coming to an amazing realization: Why am I putting myself through this living situation that I obviously hate and can't deal with for a second time? And, obviously, the answer is pathetic -- they're just trying to extend their 15 minutes of fame and most likely are get someeasy money. I mean, they knew they weren't into the people, the situation, the idea of living with an ex, but did it anyway and now in the middle of it, have to come to terms with the fact that they are pathetic. I mean, if they had successful careers or families/lives outside of the real world non-reality of infernos and crap they probably, maybe, possibly, would have passed on the chance to do this 'reunion'. But obviously, they don't.

At least Frank and Trashelle are pathetic but don't care - they're shamelessly camera-pandering. And Frank is coming off like a major loser, like the old guy at a college party, whose trying way too hard. That Stephen comes off as the most likeable now is just odd.

Kitty,
That was a great recap of a great episode. I loved your before and after shower screenshot. Too hilarious!

I love how Irulan embodies every trait she seems to be annoyed by. What a little whiner.

What a shame for Irulan that Arissa took the same night to flee the suite. Now the attention she so desperately craves is going to be shared with someone else.

And where does Frank keep finding these blur girls to make out with? I mean clearly these girls aren't using him to get their faces on tv - so what's in it for them?

I think Frank realized after watching himself last time that he was too nice and didn't go crazy enough. So now flash forward he's trying to go crazy all the time. At time he does try too hard.

Arissa and Irulan are extremely annoying. They come off extremely emotionally unstable and high-maintenance. I feel really sorry for whoever their significant others are. When they were younger, the princess type stuff was kinda cute, but now that they are older, it's not very attractive.
