Domenico apologizes to everyone, as they get ready for bed, and Kathleen's parents are kind of adorable. They both talk at the same time about how he's not responsible for the actions of other people, but it's so quaint it seems like somthing out of a Christopher Guest movie. Anyways, everyone goes to sleep and Domenico comes by the next morning to find Megan crying and upset. Her mom wants to take her home. Domenico pleads with her to stay, however, and she gives her mom an "eff you" look and agrees to keep trying. It means a lot to Domenico that she went against her mother, but then again, that might be what her motivation is in the first place.
Domenico asks everyone to come to a nice breakfast, and explains to everyone that he is looking for serious love. Kim, for some reason, has a breakdown and says that she never dates anyone, so that this is about as long as the time she spends with the guys she meets. That Emperor's club schedule can keep a girl busy - lots of clients. Nonetheless, Bobbie and Ken, Kim's parents, think Domenico is important because he clearly touched a part of her heart. The truth is, she's crying because she feels sorry for herself, not because of this chump.
You live in Vegas, you're a "VIP hostess", and your tits are fake - I don't know how you haven't found a guy to commit.
Domenico then asks Kathleen if she's ever been in love, to which she admits she hasn't. She's looking for the person to spend the rest of her life with, while Bruno is looking for someone to spend all of about 2 minutes with. Domenico also asks Megan if she's ever been in love, but she says she's only said I love you to guy friends. Domenico does some psychoanalyzing about her father's life, but seriously homeboy you're out of your league.
Hopefully for Domenico, she's still stuck in Freud's oral stage.
After breakfast we see Talor act unresonably upset because Domenico didn't ask her questions during dinner. Seriously, for a girl this good looking she's got a lot of insecurities. Guys looking for a good situation take notice!
Must be willing to deal with mood swings, unreasonable crying, rock hard jugs.
In the painting room Ashley and Dom discuss the ladies. Ashley has pretty positive things to say about everyone except for Megan. Megan, he thinks is a wallflower and while pretty, an all around wet blanket. Domenico also thinks that Kathleen has acted differently around her parents, and Ashley agrees saying she's been a little bit "off."
Maybe it's the fact that she takes her hair off to brush it?
Both Ashley and Domenico agree that Kim has improved in their eyes becuase of her family and that Talor is really hot and sweet. Nonetheless, after some dramatic b.s.'ing about seeing the connection between the ladies and the families, Domenico announces at the elimination room that the winners will be going to Italy with him to meet his family. He asks each family to provide a reason why he should pick their daughters and Kathleen's dad starts first. He sounds like a nail gun accident victim, as he says, "you would impress your father (long pause), your mother (long pause), your grandfather (long pause), your grandmother (long pause) with her high moral standards."
Well, that and her swiss army knife of a vagina.
The rest of the people say pretty expected things, but Talor and Kim start to cry while their mothers talk about them, while small metal tink sounds come out of Megan's head as she blinks. Nonetheless, Kim and Talor are the first to get flags, and while you can see on her face that Megan is hoping to be sent home, Domenico pulls out a this episode was a waste of time card out of his pocket and slaps it on the table. The only thing that accomplishd is that some perfectly good red state lower middle income families were totally embarrassed on TV. Sorry for being bougie, but they totally deserve it.
The rotary club will not be pleased
Next week, we'll travel to Domenico's home in Italia to see what happens when Italians start being polite and stop being real. Until then, gasmii!

Ha, so there IS someone else in the world watching this show! Just when you think it can't get any worse, they come up with....a cannoli challenge?
I agree with almost everything you wrote Hayhor, but as I posted in the forum, I completely changed my opinion of Kim during this episode--all of a sudden I started to like her ... Of course, that might have been the editing (Dom and I agree!)...but with her family (bet Mom and Dad did lots of drugs in the 70s) around she just became this kind of sweet, wounded, weirdly unsexy but otherwise okay kid. And the only girl whose family isn't dysfunctional. My take (because I'm a sucker for a happy ending): with her family around, she feels less insecure and doesn't have to pull all that nasty (although fun) stuff on the others. Can't wait until she has a show of her own!
Time will tell...we're almost at the end of this trainwreck...I'm going to miss it.

Kim lowered our expectations in the first place when she acted like a total c-word to every other girl in the house. The fact that she's acting somewhat normal because her parents are around means that she's typically not this pleasant, and despite how genuine she looked this week, is still deep down inside, a pain in the ass. That being said, she was really sweet this week and it was a welcome change from her typical shrewiness - before saying Kim's made a change for the better, I'd like to see how she's gonna do in the coming episodes. I think she'll go far and might even win, but trust me she will find a way to be a bitch again.
Either way, who gives a shit? This is a 10th tier reality dating show on MTV. If Domenico can sleep with Kim (at some point another) and get her to shut up during the fornicating, he's already a winner.

I cannot watch this show at all, because Domenico is a douchebag.

Oh this show just boggles the mind alright...
I have the feeling that this show is what television has ALWAYS been about. It's just taken 50 years to get here, that's all.
Can't wait until Kim gets her own show. That has to be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
