J-Mo, you're brilliant. If your recap is twice as long next week, I'll be twice as happy!! The photos take up a lot of room, but they're really essential to the recap (and Paulo's width vs. height comparison was great!) Thanks; I really enjoyed it.

ok, the "She-bop" lyrics CRACKED MY SH*T UP...I totally forgot that whole song was about whacking off...wasn't Turning Japanese about the same thing?

I totally do not think I'm in the minority when I say that I LOVE your long-ass recaps. You are much more thorough than some of the other recappers which leads to even more hilarity.

I very very much enjoy the recaps and I literally snorted in laughter at the model who looks like she's always smelling cat shit comment. :)

lagitha, you're welcome, I appreciate the lovin', I'm so glad you understand about the pix, and I agree, they really are necessary for this show. Kissy-smooches!

ugasouthernguy: I believe that the Vapors alternately confirmed AND denied "Turning Japanese" was about self-lovin', but Cyndi Lauper was straight-up "Yup, 'She-Bop' is about playing with yourself!"

pixiegal262: thank you for the kind kudos... I'm really going to try to make it a tad shorter next week so that I can, you know, actually get my recap in ON TIME, but I'm glad you're liking my random ramblings just the same. It looks like this is shaping up to be an awesome season!

love,
xoxo

J-Mo :)

Awesome, awesome, awesome, JMo! I laughed the whole way through! By the way, it's YOUR FAULT that I now watch this silly show -- your recaps are so funny that I had to tune in!

You can see a picture of Matthew's wife on his salon's website: www.matthewtully.com. Not what I pictured at all -- except for the big boobs.

J-mo, don't cut a word . . . absolutely hilarious all the way through, I don't even watch, but I feel like I am!!! I totally love the screencaps, and what a visual I have of you as a precious teen with glittering luxurious blonde locks!!! You are too funny and are quickly becoming one of my faves--I'm so glad I gave you a read, and I can't wait till the next one. Me thinks I must set Tivo to catch the millionth rerun of the shows and check 'em out.

And yeah, what about that feather broach!?

As to drag Queen Meredith's name, you are so wonderful with the flowing nicknames, I think you should follow your heart, I wouldn't dare to suggest you change in anyway!

And, true enough, two sets of before and afters are a lot of grabs, so fearest thouest not!

And if you haven't checked out Judd yet, it's at cbs.com under season 11 . . .

Thanks for the link to his wife's picture, murphena. She's actually pretty much what I expected...and she is quite pretty (I don't know about a "perfect 10," though).

Yes, murphena, thank you for that link, and Rubinia, I agree with you, she's nice-looking, but I don't think I would be setting her up to people as a "perfect 10"... and it still doesn't explain why Matthew would not have posted that picture to the Photo diaries on BravoTV.com... you would have thought he'd have put their wedding photograph up there so everyone could see the heterosexual relationship he is in!

I am disturbed.

love,
xoxox

J-Mo :0

P.S. Thanks for the kudos juddfan, I tried to go check him out at cbs.com, but the previous seasons photos would not load, it just gave me a white screen... I'll try later... :)

Hey J-mo, soooo unimportant, but it turns out Survivor 11 is still in the gasm archives, so you may be able to find the answers to these questions and more!!!

KISSES

Thanks for the awesome recaps, j-mo! I vote that you keep them long -- they're so much better and more fun than other SG recaps I've read elsewhere, and I look forward to yours every week (and I don't care that they're late)!

Me too, me too, add me to the chorus: keep them long, and keep the photos coming, please. It's great to have the instant reminder of what went down. Except for the John Waters staff member photo you posted next to Meredith's. Jesus, that was a scary-looking person. As to the nickname, I am kinda attached to DQ Meredith, but you're the writer - trust your instincts, baby. They are serving you well, and you've accumulated quite a few fans, so there! Although I have a little more affection for Meredith after her little coda to this week's episode, talking about MATTHEW'S WIFE. "She must be good in bed (pause) I mean, she must be REALLY good in bed." Saying this with a look that says "that guy wouldn't know good sex if it bit him in the ass." On the other hand, Nicole annoyed me quite a lot this time, and I liked her, so she better get her shit together, or I'll be stuck having to root for Charlie. Don't really wanna do that unless he promises to stick to being funny and quits promising to unleash bitchery never seen before. 'Cause we've seen it before. Oh, and I meant to thank you for this in the last recap, but here it is now: thank you for being such an unabashed child of the eighties. It's almost like going down the rabbit hole when I come across these semi-forgotten nuggets in your reviews!

Another vote for keeping the recaps long! Maybe you could put up two posts on purpose, say one for the short cut and one for the elimination challenge.

Personally, I started liking DQ Meredith just a little bit more this week and hating on Nicole just a touch. Was she that bitchy before? And I have to say one thing for Charlie....he's a lot of talk and attitude, but he can back it up (although I thought Glenn should have won this one....just to make her revenge on Matthew's douchery that much more sweet). Has anyone noticed that Charlie was separated at birth from Adam Sandler? Just imagine him with a shaved head and 25 more pounds. They even kinda talk the same.....
