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.
Well this time it’s Brigitte who overreacts to not getting VIP treatment and she is entirely ready to leave the casino. She’s outside waiting for a cab when Ron comes out and convinces her to come back inside. When everyone leaves, guess who’s complaining about being on the B-list: Traci! Surprise. Seriously, it has to be absolutely horrible to get treated normally. How do all of us low-lifes do it? (Note: disregard if you get VIP treatment.)

Fuck Da Bears.
I love that Traci Bingham is in the B-list team because she obviously thinks she's hot shit. Manny and Verne could be assets if the competition involves crawling into air vents.

Dude, Chyna wasn't treating Brigitte for a hangover - she was POPPING A PIMPLE on her forehead! I about threw up when I saw that.
And am I the only one that thinks Traci is taking the fact that she's on the B-List to heart. As if being relegated to fairly standard (albeit, much nicer than most normal people would have) surroundings on a game show dictates her position in Hollywood. I want to reach through the screen everytime she complains and shake the crap out of her. Get it through her pretty little head that she wouldn't be on the darn show if she weren't already D-List Hollywood. Delusional much?

verne had a "prior engagement." he wasn't originally supposed to be on the show and had something else he was already committed to doing that day. he told them that the morning of the challenge.

I was flying back from Las Vegas recently, and none other than Ron Jeremy was in line in front of me. As we approached security, I could not help but stare at the guy. He was disgusting. Filthy matted hair, dirty, ill fitting clothing and he was carrying this worn out purple Barney Book bag with him instead of a carry on.
When we boarded the tram, he was right next to me. He looked very hung over, and kept falling over asleep. Two Marines approached him and shook his hand. I had my camera phone and thought about taking a photo. But I felt so sorry for him. He looked like a homeless man. We were flying Southwest.

I doubt most of the people on this show have a whole lot of money.
What is up with the Back to Reality chick? Where did she come from? Who is she? Why does she have hideous clothes and a bad fake accent? I'm fascinated...
