For his part, Alex was also refusing to take any responsibility, trivializing the whole fight down to "I say this one little thing and then BOOM!" Yeah, um, it wasn't just "one little thing." You pretty much called the girl a whore. And as we all know, she's actually just a ROCKSTAR!!!!!!
The next morning, Jenn was still livid. "That's the rudest thing to ever do," she announced, adding "How could someone throw my lack of personal responsibility back in my face? That's so unfair! Pass me the Merlot."
Alex meanwhile felt pretty awful and wanted to apologize, but not too soon. He'd have a heart-to-heart with Jenn after work, which is where everyone was headed off to that morning. Well, not everyone. Colie had to stay back and wallow in her mono hell. The rest of the gang, however, drove three hours away to a rural amphitheater where they then had to hike through the woods to a pile of hard hats. Along the way, Tyree made his random pop cultural reference of the week, declaring, "I don't like grizzly bears. I don't like polar bears. I don't like Paddington Bear." To be fair, thirteen people were mauled to death by Paddington Bear last year.
Once everyone had their hard hats on, a rope fell from on high, as well as a general anxiety. Would the roommates have to climb up the cliff? (They better get used to it now because if they want any sort of after-life in the Challenges, they're gonna have to get real used to the safety harness).
Luckily for them, they did not have to do any rock climbing. Instead, a crunchy outdoorsy type named Chris rappelled down to them and gave them a whole spiel about Outward Bound and whatnot. Basically, the big mission of the challenge was to design and deliver two Outward Bound courses for teens that have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Awww. How topical and activisty. I hate this job already. I really didn't think it could get worse than Philly's Arena Football job that had nothing to do with Arena Football and was instead about building a dumb playground for kids. Here's the truth of the matter: the whole "job" conceit is only entertaining when it gives the cast members a chance to a) humiliate themselves and/or b) fight ceaselessly. I believe New Orleans is still the champ for that. Whenever they have to do dumb thing for charity, it always feels like a flaccid attempt at infusing an unabashedly vapid show with a social conscience. Why bother? Just give them something contentious and self-serving to do. There are plenty of options. Have the producers even seen The Apprentice?
Anyway, as part of their job, the gang would also be going on a five-day long camping trip, which of course would necessitate camping gear, which of course would necessitate the blatant shilling of The Sports Authority as the ultimate destination for such purchases. Chris then announced that the kids would be paid for their effort as long as they didn't violate the three non-negotiable rules:
1) Keep Jenn out of bright light, especially sun.
2) Keep Jenn away from water.
3) Do not under any circumstance feed Jenn after midnight.
Oh wait, no. That's not right. Here were the rules:
1) No drugs and alcohol (sorry Jenn).
2) No sex (sorry Jenn).
3) No behavior that would jeopardize someone else's emotional or physical safety.
These rules seemed stringent, but to Brooke, it was just the tip of the iceberg. She learned that she couldn't bring a mirror camping and even worse, there'd be no showering! It was like she was wandering through the ghetto ALL OVER AGAIN!
Luckily, Jenn saw the bright side of this job. To her, this was a chance for the house to "purify." She elaborated, "We live in a house, and we've been nothing but nonpolite to each other. We drink all the time, people kissing and whatever. All that stuff." How democratic of her to use the Royal "We." Okay, okay -- Jenn's certainly not the only one drinking and making out and whatnot. But she's probably the biggest idiot about it. Not to be "nonpolite" or anything...
We then returned to Denver where Brook and Jenn met up with John (he of the fast-moving lips). It appeared as though in the harsh light of day and sobriety, he wasn't as much of a catch anymore. That's right, Jenn had bumped him off the top of her man-heap, restoring Jared -- the soon-to-be receptacle of Denver's finest diseases -- to Most Desirable Companion status.

Awsome! *Jenn's not a whore, she's a ROCKSTAR!* I want to know-Who are the guys out there that find Jenn attractive? They must be out there because PLENTY of girls out there have that Jenn "look" and some guys go for that type.

I'm waiting to read this until after I watch tonight, but this early recaps totally makes up for the lack of good postings this past few days. Thanks B-Side, you never disappoint!

OK, B-Side, I admit I confuse easily, but aren't we missing something? Did you ever post a recap last week? Weren't you just dying to comment on Brooke's first exhibition of anything resembling a dark side? I think her nail salon meltdown was truly fascinating--she clearly has germ issues!

I was gonna say the same thing, cause I missed Brooke's quest into the ghetto, and I was hoping this recap was going to cover it. Oh well, it's good to read a new recap regardless.

Last week's episode was by far the best of the season, but I was on vacation, and while I wanted to jump onto the laptop, I needed some much needed R&R, lest I snap and strangle an innocent bystander.

I called my best friend in Cali and told her that she had to watch tonight's episode just for Tyre's "Padington Bear" reference.
Alex shouldn't have said what he did. That being said had Jen left it at a simple "fuck you" he probably would have apologized, but her "it's not my fault, I get drunk" excuse tirade made me totally side with Alex.

Jenn is so stupid its sad. I know so many dumb sluts like that girl, always blaming everything on alcohol. What a load of bull.
This ep. made Alex go up a few points in my book. Jenn deserved it, he shouldn't apologize. He would to keep peace in the house, but he doesn't need to.
By the way.. Will you guys be covering Road Rules 360??? Pleeease say yes, I hear Veronica, Kendal and some older season people will be on it!!!

Niecy-
MTV is bringing Road Rules back. This season will be in "real time" with fan interaction. I'm excited because they are starting off with old castmembers(rumor says Danny and Derrick from X-Treme, Abe and Cara from South Pacific, Kendal from Campus Crawl and Veronica is supposedly confirmed).
I always liked RR more than RW (eversince RW took a turn for major drunken sluttiness with Vegas)

Not to sound ungrateful, but B-side, you do know that there was another new episode on tonight after this one? I was expecting it in this recap, but maybe just a mention of it. Just giving you the heads up, don't want you to miss the episode that makes Brooke more hatable than Colie for a short while.

Hoe the hell did they let Jenn drive? Are they crazy (other then brooke)? Remember kids: Driving drunk is bad. If you are in a constant state of inebriation like Jenn never drive!

I was hoping for a screenshot of Brooke's ass as she left her bedroom complaining about John and Jenn. Who walks around a house wearing just a thong? real classy

I was waiting for the recap of the Colie sore throat tragedy. Best moment: Tie, the woman who drove her to the hospital on her cell phone saying
'We're at the emergency room, she has a SORE THROAT' (and incidentally, doesn't every hospital have huge signs saying not to use cell phones?), and then there was Colie's IV. I laughed so loud I scared the pets. And Brooke was fun too. Best episode of past 3 seasons.

As for Brooke's ass, I think B-side was trying to spare us. It was just a quick flash but it wasn't pretty.

I have never seen someone look so different without makeup on as Jen does. She must put a pound of it on! I think Brooke is hilarious! She is definitely crazy - but so entertaining to watch!

Jenn is in such DENIAL. Alex only spoke the truth in response to her running off at the mouth. She needs to get over it and accept that she's a drunk slut who makes excuses for being a drunk slut.

This is the oldest cast age-wise, but the most immature by far!
Colie can't get herself to a doctor, goes hysterical getting an IV, and cries the whole time. Let's just say, even though she wishes she had been in NOLA for Katrina (to help, yeah right), her presence there could have only equaled the human disaster that was Michael Brown. Who she probably would have ended up making out with.
What a fuckin' baby.
Brooke is hysterical. She is a walking Tennessee Williams play. The only thing that could have made that whole breakdown better was if she had called her father, and referred to him as "Big Daddy".
Seriously, what kind of girl brings home a bar-skeeve she barely knows, brings him to bed, lets him go to funky-town - AND THEN brags to her male roommates about it?! WHAT A WHORE.
And if whoring around isn't such a big deal, then why is acknowledging that you do it?
She is so fucking gross.

Jenn is the biggest skank on tv! I loved it when Alex put her in her place. It was so funny. Thank you Alex!
Thanks B-side for a very funny re cap! I loved The Bottle comments!

OK--the illness/ghetto episode had to be one of the funniest episodes EVER--right after I said I wasn't going to watch!
Certain classic quotes were hilarious!
First--Colie is a freak--she has one of the HUGEST mouths I have ever seen. When she was writhing around on the bed and screaming she looked like an alligator crossed with a pez dispenser!
The quotes that made me laugh were:
I WANT MY MOOOOMMY!
I can't deal with all this crap. I just want to get my nails done.
I'm in HEEEEELL!!!!!!!!
And what does Brooke expect if she goes for a walk in the "ghetto" sporting booty shorts and fuck me pumps???? Sorry, but girls dressed like that in certain neighborhoods are WORKING, not looking for a nail salon. If you dress like a hood rat/ho, don't be surprised if strangers treat you like one! :)

THANK YOU alligatorwings! I was thinking the same thing about the outfit she was sporting. That and do they not have taxis in Denver?
Of course if I had to live with Colie I would probably flee from the house without one of my roommates... directions... transportation... money... possibly even clothing. Jiminy-Christmas that girl is annoying.

Chee z TV Addict:
I'm not promiscuous by nature, don't think there is anything wrong with a girl hooking up with a guy she met at the bar that night if that's what she wants to do. However, Jen is a slut because she gets trashed on a nightly basis so that she doesn't have to take any responsibility for her actions. She sucks. So does Alex. And Brooke, who I liked until this point...
Also I laughed hystericall at Tyrie's Random Pop Culture Reference of the Episode! I love you, b-side!

AWESOME "Girl, Interrupted" reference tvismylife! LOL!
I think Jenn is a whore because she acts like a whore. She screwed over (in her words) her "best friend" in the house in under 48 hours, to have sex with a guy she claims she isn't even attracted to.
I'm no prude, and I have no problem with the idea of casual sex; however any girl who regales a group of drunk men (who call themselves the FRAT, no less) with details about her one-night stand passing the orals is a whore. A gross whore. I'd be seriously scared if I found out any one I'd slept with had been with Jenn first.
Just my opinion - LOL! Had she been talking to E. Colie and Brooke, I might have felt differently about it.
I agree though, her biggest problem is that she's an irresponsible, obnoxious drunk.

Chee-Z good point. Especially if you so happened to screw one of those guys 48 hours after you met them. On TV. After he hooked up with your friend first.

Besides seeing Brook's gross ass in the thong you could also see her nipples when she was whining at the sink around that same time. Nobody else caught this, jeez.

Wow. And to think I was REALLY trying to not immediately assume Jenn was an idiotic slut when I first saw her on the casting special. Alex's remark - wrong, but soooo awesome. I can't wait to see it (haven't seen the episodes yet). And Jenn just goes on to blame it on the alcohol? That is the epitome of pathetic, if you ask me.
I can't even fathom how MTV manages to find these complete morons who lack basic life skills. Jenn is, what, 24 or something? She acts like she's 14, and that's really sad.
And what's worse, in the last episode with Brooke's melodrama, Jenn reminded me SO much of my cousin in her white tank top, skirt, glasses, put-up hair and semi-compassion... and I love my cousin. Thank God I won't always see her when I look at Jenn.

CheeZ TV Addict, on second thought, I used to think you were funny, but now I think you're an idiot. How the hell is it any different if she tells her male roommates about her hookups than her female roommates? They all live together, do they not? My guy and girl friends talk equally to each other hooking up, so it sounds like you have some sort of stupid double standard that makes no sense to me whatsoever.
