But she ends on a good note, saying she's leaving the experience a better person than when she came in, and she has all her roommates to thank for that. Not Goody, doll. She actually brought out the worst in you. Cause I like Blondie. I think she's a cute girl, she's finding her way, and I honestly feel it was a lot of Goody's influence that made her act like a jerk when she did. And yeah, I know she's kind of small minded and racist, but she's from South Carolina, what do you want? Besides, as anonymous as we keep this recapping thing, I will divulge that Kimberly has my name. What can I say? Us K-Slices gotta stick together. And in that spirit, I will say that she needs a new headshot. Hers sucked.
See? Sometimes two wrongs do make a right!
Which leaves Stripper and Rick James. "Oh we forgot to touch everything before we leave," Stripper says. "So what? Why would we do that?" he replies. For luck, she tells him. Well, he doesn't really seem to get it, but these two are so cute together that he indulges her. They run through the house like little kids, touching everything. Rick tells us that he's proud of Stripper, and that she's definitely going to go places.
And then a late 80's model Mercedes pulls up...and it's Janelle. Coming to take Rick James Will home (translated: scrape out an extra millisecond of camera time). Rick and Stripper share a very heartfelt goodbye - if there was one true friendship in this house, it was these two. Stripper tells us he taught her a lot about herself, and she thanks him for it. He doesn't want to leave Hollywood, he's ready to start his life. Adorable headshot, fabulous smile...but WHEN ARE YOU CUTTING THAT DAMN HAIR?!?!
You know they always save the best journeys for last, and that's Brianna. Yeah, I'm lopping off the stripper part for the last paragraph. She tells us in tears, "I'm so glad to be here...I'm so glad that everyone sees the potential that I have, and the kind of person who I am. And I guess all I really have to say is...thank you - for everything." I am so down with this girl. She's colorful and sweet, she has a great voice and she can kick any boy's ass. And you see all of that in her headshot and her amazing smile.
So that's it! We leave with a view of the Hollywood sign, and of course I'm sobbing. Why am I such a crybaby? And where's my damn shoe? See ya for the reunion special, when I'll have shoe-beaten my emotions away and can get back to ripping on these lame asses. Kisses til then...
So, Will, this was fun, but I think it might be time for us to go our separate ways...

Hey ChickBomb, lovely recap, you are the perfect mix of heart and rapier-sharp wits, I think you nailed it to the wall.
I did catch the reunion special, and I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on it, especially some of the assholish antics of Dave Dolt, and the special event that happened to Rick James (I don't want to spoil it for those who didn't catch it already). I will say, like you, pretty much any good will I had built up towards most of them was quickly and efficiently erased by what I saw in their reunion special. This show is so sad now. But you made me happy about it again!
love,
xoxo
J-Mo :)

"Well, then we get a little more improv action. This never gets interesting."
I could not agree more with this comment! The scenes at the IO are the part of the show when I decide to do laundry instead of watching. I'd much rather see our Real Worlders trapse through the woods in their underwear than "take a class." Who's idea was that anyway? So glad this is over. This show has gone way downhill since Julie and Kevin's fight about racism on the street in front of their loft on Real World New York.
The roommates are way too aware of the cameras now and its the show has gone from a social experiment to signing up to live in a fishbowl for your 15 minutes of fame.
That said, ChickBomb- you rock. Totes happy you're recapping the train wreck that will be I Love Money!

ChickBomb, or should I call you Kim? You did a kick ass job with this season, which was one of the best in a while. I liked shortened season w/ hour episodes and hope they keep that up. That comment Dave made about his only regret being hooking up with Kim, I was hoping that was just tongue in cheek, or maybe bad editing to make him look like a jerk. You never know, the next sentence he said could have been that he regretted it because it interfered with their friendship or something. Anyway, I can't wait for your reunion show recap.

Chickbomb, love your recaps but not every South Carolinian is small minded and racist! Just thought I would throw that out there!

I don't know why no one has pointed out the obvious- that Sara very well might be racist. Now, I'm not saying that's the case for sure, but it's interesting how she seems to have irrational anger always directed towards the black people in the house(Bri, Nick,Greg)- I believe she led the charge against Greg since the very first episode, talking shit about him so that by the time he entered the house, the guy never had a chance. She jumped all over Bri for sleeping with a guy in their room, but never said a peep when it was Kim and Dave doing the exact same thing, night after night. And she even started this big beef with Nick(clearly the nicest guy in the house) who had done nothing to her(from what I could tell) for no reason whatsoever. When it comes to the white roommates however, Sarah clicked with Kim from day one, never had an issue with Dave at all(even though he was banging away at Kim only feet from where her majesty slept), and was all understanding and sweet to Joey after he personally terrorized her and the other roommates. I think Will was the only exception because he was her little bitch boy, never stepping on her toes, and jumping all over Greg to protect her majesty, as well as letting her know how beautiful and desired she was(barf!). I'm sure Sarah would be horrified at having this accusation directed towards her, but I've seen her type before, and there definitely seems to be a pattern with who receives the brunt of her judgementalism and bitchiness.

Interesting, jazz hands. that definitely makes sense.
Why was Joey still wearing his hard hat in his girlfriend's car? I know it was a piece of shit but it did have a roof right?
