No, no, they're not Jersey Jews, they're Israelis, which is a huge difference-really, not the same thing at all-- and explains why you mistook him for Italian!

I think the whole angry Jay thing was a set up. It was just too abrupt--why would she be so harsh to him like that? And his reaction was just a sham --you could tell he was following a script.

Which leads me to suspect that the 'family' was a setup too, a bunch of actors....they stole the idea from the last Bachelor in an effort somehow to spice up this boring show.

Have to admit, I like the blonde (never can remember her name) for the win. Seems like the only one left who can keep up with the Tila party..

I just wish there were a time machine, a way to flash forward and see what Tila's doing in 10 years...

I find myself really hoping that Brittany wins this thing. I like Kristy and all, but dude, she looks like she hasn't slept in months most of the time. Her eyes are always so baggy and swollen and it makes me want to cut up some cucumber and put it on the TV screen!
Two things that made me laugh out loud this episode (besides the obvious things that made me retch throughout):
1. I love how when Tila is visiting Kristy's family, she's talking about how she's been saying the same thing as Kristy's aunt for years, about it being the person on the inside that counts. HOWEVER, I thought she had never come out to ANYONE since last season? And that wasn't even a full year ago. Tila, tell your writers to get whole fake biography right. Indescrepancies are a big no-no. And maybe once they do that, they can write your interviews too, cause you sure got a lot of ego in that little body. The world does not revolve around you.
Anyway..rant over..my next giggle moment was:
2. When Jay is leaving and Tila says "Where you froooooooom?" expecting the normal obnoxious "JER-SEYYY!" and gets "STFU, bitch!" haha. I hate him but I had to laugh at that point.

narcissistic--I also loved Jersey's reply to Tila at the end.

Jersey's family---I am at a loss for words. Was that the Mom showing the boobs to the son's, or the Step-mom? I think even Tila decided that Jersey's family was too much.

Wow Hayhor a little heavy on the Jewish thing don't you think? Or did you not realize how bad the "He's a Jew!" would sound to all of us Jewish readers? I've been a fan, but reading this recap felt the same as being sucker punched. I'm sure it's hard to find jokes in this pathetic show, but there's got to be a better way than going for the Vietnamese, Italian, Jewish bigotry.

Rosesarered,

I want to apologize if you felt insulted when I wrote that. Most of my friends are Jewish (reform, but nonetheless devout) and when I'm worried about crossing the line, I think "would they be insulted?"

Granted, they make more Jewish jokes about themselves than I do, but I could say the same for myself and Puerto Rican jokes, so you get the picture.

Nonetheless, you should know that the intent is not to disrespect anyone except Jay's embarrasing family. I hope you'll accept my apology.

Oh and itchy...you're totally right, those Israeli dudes can't get enough!

Great recap. Thanks!

Itchy: I want to believe that Jay's reaction was genuine, since I found him to be more repugnant than even that Detroit loon.

I predict that in ten years Tila will be doing "Shot at Love XI - this time I really mean it", only she'll look even wierder due to some unfortunate choices in plastic surgery.

For Bo's sake, I hope he doesn't "win". And that dark haired girl has stalker written all over her - (do you really think her family was "out of town"? I say get a search warrant and some corpse sniffing blood hounds.)

For those reasons, I'll take the blonde for the win.

Whoever said to Brandon (Bo), "You should use the nickname Bo instead of your actual name Brandon, its much cooler" should be punched in the face.

Tila, you ass, you should've picked Danni.

fire@will: well, maybe it was a genuine reaction on the first take...but by the time they got done with the version that was edited into the show, it just came off as too rehearsed.

But a putz is a putz is a putz...whereever he's from!

itchy:

that really is jay's family. i graduated high school a year after jay and knew him and his family (mostly his brother adam) my entire life. never knew they were that nuts behind closed doors though!

In that case....ick.

Great recap!

I'm from Yonkers, New York and it was very entertaining seeing Tila at a place I've been to a million times.

Can't wait for the finale, I know who wins though so there won't be that much excitement, ugh its sad how into this show I am...
