This week the episode starts off with Andrea Lowell complaining about how tired she was when she woke up today: mentally, physically and emotionally. It is really hard when you spend eight hours in one day on the phone, mixed in with some crying and a whole lot of whining. Her life is so hard. We should all feel really sorry for her. The rest of the cast is all pretty much in agreement that Andrea is basically on borrowed time right now, since she should have gone home after the last challenge. They're not going to give her any more free passes.

Thankfully today there isn't too much backstory before we get a message alert from Robin Leach. He tells us that with everyone back on the A-list, if there's one thing A-listers can't get enough of, it's leisure time. So, with their eight-hour day yesterday, the house members have earned a day in the sun away from the Surreal Life house. This show is so much like real life. I often get a day of relaxation after a single eight-hour day of work also. And the work days are actually few and far between. And I don't cook any of my food. And there is a porn star and a little person living with me. So many similarities.

Everyone is excited for a day of relaxation, but Traci isn't really ready to let go of Andrea not losing the previous day's competition. She's talking to Ron about it, wondering why no one stood up to Andrea's pandering for sympathy. Just to point out, she's probably making a huge mistake if she's looking for some sort of answer with any sort of meaning to it from Ron, so if she's looking for some sort of closure, she's terribly misguided. Well, Ron basically said that Andrea stuck around because, although she had the worst names, she argued for them. Chyna Doll didn't do anything, so she went home. Then we see Traci come to the realization that if she wants to win, she needs to pull out all of the stops. Yes, Traci has finally realized that she may need to throw a tantrum to get ahead in the game. Something that she's never done before. She's never, oh, I don't know, said that she wasn't ready to play the Back to Reality game, forcing another team member to play who was ultimately eliminated. Nope, that's never happened. Ever.

While the remaining house members are en route to a Vegas hotel, they're all wondering where they're actually headed. Andrea hopes they're going to Caesar's because they have a topless pool, which is why she stays there. Note to self: stay at Caesar's when I go to Vegas. I doubt that Andrea Lowell is living it up at Caesar's all too often though. But maybe that's just me.

This weeks show, Traci's crazy hat count: 2

The cast arrives at the Tropicana, which is nice enough (and also happens to be currently promoting K.C. and the Sunshine Band performing on St. Patrick's Day only! Score!) I guess. Robin is there and he tells everyone that the pool has been closed off just for the members of the house, and there have also been some "guests" that have been invited as well. Seems boring enough, right? But then Robin, the sneaky devil that he is, tells us that the hotel is crawling with hidden paparazzi who are waiting to catch the cast in their most embarrassing moments, while the cast will have no idea they're being watched. Then he says, "Ain't I a stinker?" laughs evilly and rubs his hands together maniacally, all while hiding behind some sort of shrubbery. Oh Robin, you are QUITE the stinker. It kind of made me wish Tweety Bird had been hosting the show all along though. Now that's a show.

I can't believe I actually watch this show- but the recap was worth reading. I'm so glad Andrea's gone, if only they could get rid of Rob now! I hope Traci overdoes it again next week- that screen cap of her and Vern was priceless.

KatiesHole :

So glad that Andrea Blowell is gone. Oh wait, thats Lowell. Blow-ell is what the VH1 execs called her, after she got signed for this show. I also read someplace that Miss Andrea Skankell is a perfect 10 girl. So, she has real tits? That is her claim to fame? Clearly she is not a real playboy girl? She's too damn plain. Maybe she's a low rent playboy catalog chick, with a big fat dildo on her face? Time to do some research.

Anyway, I want Traci to win this. Vanilla Ice sucks. He did in the 80s and he does now.

KH
Andrea still blows

Lucy :

god, I hated myself so much for watching this show-- now I am so glad.

AWESOME RECAP! I just read about six tvgasm recaps in a row (all great) but this was easily the best. I was in a shitty mood; am now giddy, esp. over Bigfoot photo and rubber chicken caps. thank you!

Great recap. Vanilla Ice is pissing me off. Packing to leave? How many more tantrums can he have?
