Sorry for the slight delay on the recap for Surreal Life Fame Games, but Sunday was the Bears game, and the Bears going to the Super Bowl trump recapping Surreal Life, no matter how great (or not great) it may be.

I picked up the actual rules for the game this week and I was pretty close with my guess last week. The only mistake I made was that once teams are evenly divided up, then the A-list competes against the B-list. However, there is still only one winner who wins the money and whatever else comes with it. My problem with this is that these people have money, so I would hope at least some portion of the winnings would go to a charity or something, but I doubt that happens.

Anyways, the episode opens with Traci complaining to the A-listers after a terrible night of sleep. Apparently Chyna Doll and Brigitte like to stay up really late, get really drunk (probably) and talk a lot of nonsense that no one really thinks is funny, and not even CC, who’s been on more drugs than I can probably even imagine, understands what they’re saying.

We then cut to seeing Chyna Doll hovering over Brigitte with a makeshift doctor’s mask. Apparently Brigitte has a killer hangover and Chyna Doll was trying to help. I was relieved this wasn’t some other sort of “doctor” activity. You can’t be too sure with these two. But anyways, the remedy (some sort of poke in the face) didn’t work so Brigitte just requested a coffee and a beer.

Everyone gets called into the living room where they get a message from Robin Leach that they get a reward today, so he instructs them to change into clothes that have been provided. Well, the A-listers get tennis rackets and quality equipment; the B-listers get crappy clothes. Traci complains (that’s twice so far) that the division between the A-listers and B-listers is starting to get to her.

Once outside, they all discover that the A-listers get to play tennis, they get private lessons with a tennis pro and they get to snack on champagne and other classy finger foods. The B-listers, however, get to play table tennis, they get instructions from a former (70 year-old) pro and they get to munch on cheap beer and hot wings. Advantage: push. I’m not sure if they could mix things together and just play beer pong. Then Robin informs everyone that the A-listers get to keep their clothes and their tennis rackets, but the B-listers have to give back their rackets. This causes quite a chuckle out of the A-listers. Oh Robin Leach, you’re so clever and derisive!

After the commercial we see all of the terrible clips of everyone attempting to play tennis or ping pong, and we are introduced to Ron Jeremy’s first name drop of the evening and VH1 posts a counter so we can all play along. Then we see Traci complain (a shock, I know) for the third time thus far. VH1 could have shown a counter for this too, but I don’t know if they need to do that since she complains every time she’s on camera.

VH1 also treats us to a clip of Ron flirting with Brigitte, and to say that it was disgusting would be an egregious understatement. Luckily I was able to clean all of the puke out of my keyboard that resulted from seeing this flirty banter. Seriously though, it was pretty hot. And by hot I mean horrific.

The A-listers discover that everyone is invited to the Palms by the Maloof brothers, including the B-listers, but the B-listers didn’t get a gift bag or $100 in chips like the A-listers. Also, once at the casino, the A-listers get the VIP treatment and skip the line. The B-listers, though, had to open their own door! Can you imagine? The horrors! In the history of mankind, the worst things to happen have been the Holocaust, nuclear warfare and the B-listers having to open their own door, which just barely beats out cancer.
