Next was Ron. The leader of the focus group asked if everyone was familiar with Ron, and they all were, especially the old woman. And the white male. And the middle-aged white woman, who alleges that Ron is known for being well-endowed, but she hasn't seen it first-hand. At least, that's how I chose to interpret what she was saying. They said Ron looked sleazy, which he admitted to. He argued to us, though, that because he's a porn star, he looks sleazy by default? What's he supposed to do? Shave his porn mustache? Cut his long porn hair? Start wearing underwear? Cut the sleazeball some slack.
Traci was next, and, just as I remembered, her boobs looked great. The men all reacted unsurprisingly well to Traci's commercial, especially the guy sitting closest to the TV, who seemed to be mesmerized. One guy said her boobs were too distracting. That's like saying the sky is too blue, or I drink too much beer. It's impossible.
Last was Pep, and her commercial actually looked like it came out pretty well. However, the focus group must have thought she needed a new asshole, because they made it their duty to rip her one. The old lady didn't know her, they thought she was acting, and the white male especially did not find her sexy. Maybe he's not in the white male demographic, but the gay male demographic. Regardless, they were pretty harsh on Pep. She wasn't going to win.
Lame hat count - 3
Also, someone should really check on Ron.
So now let's find out the results. Robin calls Rob's name and tells him to step forward, and Rob is relieved, thinking he's won. I should probably point out that the winner of the Sell Some Stuff competition is automatically into the last two, which I will arbitrarily call the Championship Game. Well, not so fast Vanilla Ice; you didn't lose the competition, but you didn't win because Traci did! Hooray! Sex sells! Not that I'm complaining.
So here's a nice little addendum to the rules: the final three will have to vote off someone. Whoever gets voted off leaves, then whoever is left will play Back to Reality, where the winner competes against Traci for the money. This is the "stabbing people in the back" portion of the game. As far as the real world goes, I'm not sure that's necessary to be part of the A-list. However, it probably works pretty well in reality television. Just ask anyone who's ever participated in any sort of competition on reality TV. Ever.
The three losers (Rob, Ron and Pep) are sitting around, moping about having to stab someone in the back. Ron says he doesn't want to do it at all and is considering just having Rob and Pep vote for him. Traci tells everyone to quit their bitching and that's it's just a game, which is what everyone has been saying all along. Well, everyone except for Rob when he loses. But even Rob is saying that you have to look at it like it's a game.
No one wants to compete against Rob, because he's basically won everything. Traci wants to lobby for Rob to be voted out. Ron, however, is torn. He's been really good friends with Rob since they were on Surreal Life. On the other hand, he's lived with Pep since they've been in the house (it's probably only been like a little over two weeks) and they've bonded quite a bit. So here's where the back-stabbing begins. Kind of.
I should also probably mention that Ron is kind of retarded. He told both Pep and Ice that he swears he is not going to vote for them on his mother's grave. He's come up with an ingenious plan. He'll put himself up, Rob votes for Pep, and vice versa, therefore causing a three-way tie. If there's a tie, Ron reasons, Robin will have to come up with another challenge to settle it. Why would he think that? How does he arbitrarily make up a new rule for the game? Oh Ron, you're so bad at this.
Seriously, someone should check on Ron.
Stop reading this 'cap and get help.

Rob obviously went over the deep end in this episode. I understand that he felt betrayed. But, he shouldn't have put too much faith in Ron seeing how it is a competition. And he also didn't need to react like a loon. Besides, it's just a game. He'll make more than $100,000 anyway with that new CD he's putting out....YEAH RIGHT! Actually, maybe Rob was so mad because some of that $100,000 would have kept his electricity on next month.
Also, between her & Ron, Traci deserved to win. Ron looked like a hobo at that final challenge. What was he thinking?

couldn't we all have saved those 11 hours (or however long this horrible show was) by just flashing the "top 10 google searches" right when they got in the house? isn't that a pretty good indicator of fame? i don't know, just sayin. jesus, that show was horrible.

Great recap of a horrible show. Why did I watch that crap? Better yet - why did I then watch the marathon of that crap all over again?
I think I need help.
I hope Traci uses the money to buy a better weave so she can stop with the damned combover.

So thrilled that Traci won and not that fat windbag Ron Jeremy! Agreed with the poster above, Miss Bingham does need a new weave, or at least that rat's nest cleaned.
I think Mr. Ice wants his own reality show on VH1...you laugh now, but I bet its in the works.....
I just didn't want Andrea Blowhole to win.

It was clear that Robin Leach was trying to help Peppa on her last chance at the google game. He was like "PEPPA, you really need this next answer PEPPA. If you don't PEPPA, then you will go home PEPPA PEPPA PEPPA." And then... she lost.
BACKSTABBER!!!

Traci is a delusional hypocrite. She kept bitching and moaning the entire game, then in the end she was all high and mighty. Also, she really thinks she's an A-list star!
I really hate Vanilla Ice. He should have followed through on one of his numerous threats and gone home. And, he's plain nuts, which I'm sure he mistakes for being interesting.
He would have done the exact same thing to Ron, had he been in the same position. (pun intended)It's a competition, for crying out loud.

Hey Anonymous,
It made me laugh out loud to read your post. I live near Fort Myers, Florida and Robert Van Winkle is indeed our local weather man. And he really does do that sign language thing every night. He did kick ass during Hurricane Charley, going against the opinion of the National Weather Service to tell us that he thought the hurricane was turning toward us. He was right. Love that guy!
