Tila announces that they'll have the entire hotel to themselves today (Evidently it's closed for asbestos contamination or something), so they all head out to the pool. After a few minutes of frolicking, Tila pulls Amanda aside to say that Amanda's catty comments about Dani have been bothering her, and then Tila asks if Amanda has anything else concrete to back them up with. Amanda says that Dani goes to strip clubs three times each week, and manipulatively mentions that that would bother her if she was Tila. Tila tells us this news surprised her, and Amanda tells us that she realized after the fact that Tila didn't ask her anything about herself at all, but it's all good since she was able to rip Dani down a bit more. See usually I would assume that when your date just wants to talk about the other person they're dating, you're in trouble.
I'm gonna stuff some bills down some panties tonight, hellllllz ya
Dani gets ready for her date, and Amanda tells her that her ankles look chubby. I don't know if this is supposed to be a lame "Friends" reference or a randomly mean observation, so okay Amazon. Dani meets Tila in Tila's bedroom - cutting right to the chase here - and Tila immediately asks Dani what she thinks of Amanda. Dani merely says that Amanda's a good person, and when Tila asks about Bobby, Dani politely refuses to talk shit and says Tila needs to make her own decisions. Wow, an actual mature, logical position. Good for her. How the hell did she ever get involved in this show? Did she get lost on her way to the American Idol auditions?
Meanwhile, Amanda and Bobby decide to play dress up, and Bobby gets into one of Amanda's dresses which fits him just as well as it fits her - in other words, it's uncomfortably tight, with unsightly emphasis on the crotch. He even successfully tap dances in heels. I remember he did quite well in the runway challenge in the second episode, so I seriously wonder how much experience he has in drag. The nights in Bumfuck, New York, must get pretty cold and lonely...
At dinner, Dani makes a sweet, sincere toast that moves Tila to tears. Tila admits that the connections she's forged are deeper than she expected, and Dani tells her it's amazing to see the "real" Tila who isn't just acting like a trashy whore. They eventually wind up back in Tila's room, kissing tenderly.
The next morning, Tila and Dani come in to find Amanda and Bobby about to eat breakfast in bed. Tila and Dani begin feeding each other, and Amanda snidely asks if they're still on their date. Then when asked what they did on their date, both girls giggle like they have a private joke, which further pisses off Amanda and Bobby. Bobby complains to us that Tila's happiness with Dani cheapens her happiness with him, and he maturely asks Amanda for a bag he can vomit in. Seriously, Bobby, grow the fuck up. Step one is stop calling yourself "Bobby."
The gang arrives back in L.A., and goes almost directly to eliminations. Dani is extremely confident, whereas Bobby and Amanda (who looks much better with these shorter hair extensions) are slightly nervous. Sure enough, Dani receives the first key, leaving both Amanda and Bobby to sweat it out and grimace in the background. Bobby tells us that he doesn't think it's about gender anymore - she could easily cut him and keep two girls. Actually, Bobby, I don't think that's the case at all. In fact, I think the second Dani got a key, Amanda was screwed.
Put your hands on your hips. Uh oh, I didn't say "Simon Says"! Dani wins!
She calls them both forward and begins to break down at bit as she stares at them dramatically. She finally names Bobby, saying that she thinks he's sweet, genuine and sexy, and therefore he will be staying. Amanda's jaw hits the ground from the 10 feet up it usually is at, and Tila tells her that she always made her laugh, but there's no more keys left. Tila tells us that she just had a deeper connection with Bobby and Dani.

Your screencaps are the funniest...as is your recap.
I'm still laughing over the
"pop quiz, hot shot."

How could you not mention that during the swimming with dolphins thing Amanda's underpants fell off while the the back-ground music sang, "They can't take away my dignity!?" Best use of music ever!
Great screencaps as usual- and great recap.
Dani sooo has this thing in the bag.

I don't really follow this show, so I don't faithfully read the recaps, but I just wanted to echo the above posters' sentiment about your screenshot selections & caption writing. Dani's faces are priceless...
I don't want to embarrass my recappers, so if there's any way you could just offer some sort of blanket tutorial with mandatory attendance for every new & current recapper, that would be fab.
Kudos!

Great recap, I have to agree that Dani is way to good for this show and Tila. Am I the only one who thinks Tila is really unattractive? Her mouth looks like its caving in and she really has a bland personality. I dont see the appeal in this troll at all.

No, I think Tila is way unattractive as well. She has such an unusually large head! Great recap though! I don't know...I still think she'll choose Bobby!

Simon Says!!! Oh my God, I'm laughing and laughing.
Great recap. I can't wait to see the swill Mtv puts on after this gem of a show ends.

Did anyone else notice that New Kids on the Block was playing in the background during Tila and Dannys date? Nope, I'm the only loser? Either way, it cracked me up.

I agree..Tila is not attractive. Her eyeliner is very bad. Someone should show her how to fix that! I think she will pick Dani. Do I think she is good enough for either of them? NO? I think she will get bored with them. Neither one is a party hard person like she claims to be, so I think that is a big difference that they have. She should have picked someone who is a lot like her. I can't wait to see who she picks and can't wait to see the reunion show to see if they will still be together. I think this is some crazy way for her to increase her celebrity wanna-be ass.
She sucks!!

hahha.....I love the Three's Company reference. The new Chrissy, Jack and Janet.
I think Tila is cute...but she kinda talks weird. If you notice her jaw always moves to the side when she talks, kinda like how Bobby Brown talks. Umm, crack?

Great recapper - agreed!
Dani will be chosen, unless the O.J. jury makes the selection.
Bobby and Amanda were already a tie for distant "who cares - certainly not Tila"?
Dani or Bobby - the relationship won't last (join the "Free Dani!" movement now).
America loves Dani. (Now THERE is a show idea - with the overwhelming affection people have shown here, why not?)

"Other things that happened in Bobby's life, Gigle, McRib Sandwiches, and Popozao" LoLo you rock my world!
Bobby was such an idiot this episode (not that he isn't usually) I found myself wondering how old he is - if someone told me he was like 17 - I wouldn't be surprised!!
Oh and I totally agree about that scene where Mandy's bottoms came off - freaking HILARIOUS! Poor dolphins they so did not need to see that!
I know there are rumblings about Tila maybe faking the whole thing for publicity or whatever - but I really felt like her tears when she was having dinner w/Dani were real - I mean, maybe she was crying because she likes Dani, or maybe she feels guilty about pretending to give a rats ass when she doesn't or maybe she realized how fugly her tatoos are? Whatever way you look at it, they seemed like real tears to me -
And seriously - Which one is Dani?

carmelicious: That was funny! I forgot she had fugly tatoos!

"The ladies walk in, and Bobby snarks that it's a little gross to stroll up to the breakfast table with your panties in your hand. Okay, I'll give him that one - that was not the type of cream he wanted for his morning coffee."
God, GAG! That caught me off guard. I'm sooo not eating for the rest of the day..... awesome recap though!
