I wish I could decode what his shirt says. DAMN TAPE!
On Sunday I woke up with a terrible hangover and a cut on my eye that I am not entirely sure how I received. Let me just say right now that watching The Surreal Life Fame Games is a terrible cure for a hangover. Also, I think that this episode in particular was terrible for a hangover because I nearly lost my lunch after seeing a certain scene involving Ron Jeremy. However, I guess those are just the risks you run when you begin drinking at 1:30 p.m. on St. Patrick's Day (it was a late start), you don't get home until 2:45 a.m. from the bar, and it's your job to recap The Surreal Life. This is the life I lead. So let's find out what nearly made me lose my lunch.
The house must be terribly boring now that more and more people are being eliminated, because this week, rather than introduce the show with something that actually happened in the house, the first thing that happens is the cast gets a message from Robin Leach. I guess you can only show so many clips of everyone waking up hungover. Ron decided to bring his turtle, the aptly named "Turtle," to watch the message as well, because, according to his logic, if he ends up going home this week, Turtle would also be affected. Cut to the turtle cursing its slow speed, as it tries to get away from Ron, but ultimately fails.
Robin told everyone that Oscar B. Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas, has requested to meet them today, so that's what their morning will consist of. I thought it was only sensible that the Mayor would be asking them politely, yet sternly, to get the F out of Vegas pronto. Even Vegas has its standards.
Everyone goes down to City Hall and is waiting in the Mayor's office, and Rob managed to dress for the occasion, wearing an "Advisory Pimps & Hos Explicit Content" t-shirt. At least Traci and Pep (and Ron to a lesser extent) managed to look like they were meeting someone of importance. I know Ice has probably met a lot of famous people in the past, but personally if I were meeting the Mayor, I'd probably wear something without the word "Hos" in the title. But maybe that's why I'm not famous.
Well, Mayor Goodman busts into his office and shows that he is quite the actor by acting surprised that the Surreal Life cast is in there. He makes Sir Laurence Olivier look like Keanu Reeves, he's that good. I kid the Mayor, but in all fairness, he lists drinking as his favorite hobby, and that's totally awesome.
Wait, what?
The Mayor comes in, shakes everyone's hand, and then as he shakes Verne's hand last, he says "Mini-me." Well, if you know anything about Verne Troyer, you realize that he hates being referred to as Mini-me. So the Mayor starts to go on his spiel about whatever reason he invited the Surreal Lifers there, but Verne is trying to interrupt him. Then we got into a little battle of who could be more stubborn: the Mayor in not being interrupted, or Verne in his ability to interrupt the Mayor. Also, as Verne is trying to interrupt, the Mayor says, "Now wait a second, I'm bigger than you are." Personally I kind of think Verne should relax about Mini-me or whatever, but I also think that the Mayor was kind of out of line in making that joke about being bigger than Verne. But, of course, it is entirely possible that the Mayor had already partaken in his favorite hobby earlier that morning.
Ultimately Verne won out, and then the Mayor apologized and continued on his spiel. So what is the reason for the Surreal Life cast to meet Mayor Goodman? He is naming that day Surreal Life Day in Las Vegas and they're all getting keys to the city. I do not want to know how they celebrate Surreal Life Day in Las Vegas, because I assume it involves delusional celebrities, Chyna Doll, Alexis Arquette, and more tantrums than I can imagine. Oh, and possibly Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen making out grossly.

Poor Treadinggnome, I can't believe you actually have to watch these people week after week. Thank goodness it's almost over!
Congrats on your new recapping duties, pretty soon this horrible show will be a distant memory

Poor Verne. He got screwed. I blame Andrea Blowell, even though she isn't there.
Ice is a prick. I want Pepa or Tracey Bingham to win this. Ron Jeremy is a pig. Who would ever do him on camera? Ick.
I have got to get a rubber chicken!
How long before Britney Spears appears on this show?
KH
*still* missing Chynna Doll!

Well... I must say I personally do not like Tracy or Ron. I would love to see Rob Van Winkle (LOL) win!
