The next morning, it's time for another group challenge. Tila announces that each of them has to choose who's the most and who's the least compatible for her (without choosing themselves). She tells them that the results will help her with eliminations. She leaves the room, and each contestant deliberates and writes down their choices. Everyone struggles, but TV seems to take it more seriously than others, and tells us she was really trying to think about Tila's best interests and Tila's heart. Then it's time to reveal the results, one by one, to the entire group. This won't be anonymous - each person has to stand up and reveal who they chose and why. This makes me extremely happy. Anonymity is for pussies.
We see the "most compatible" results first. Bobby and TV chose LK (guess there is some maturity in TV after all), Dani chose Guido, Steven chose Bobby, LK chose Amanda, and Guido, Ryan, and Amanda chose Dani. So that means Dani is voted most compatible, and she wins some one-on-one with Tila. Notice that of the 8 votes, only 2 went to men. I think that's interesting. Also interesting is that TV, Steven, and Ryan didn't get any votes at all.
Is Flavor Flav an option?
Now for the drama! Steven and Ryan chose Guido, who immediately begins crying. Guido, babe, you're not even straight - how are you surprised? TV chose Ryan, saying that he doesn't stick out in her mind and she even forgets his name sometimes. Meth side effects are a bitch. And here's where it gets good: Amanda, Dani, Guido, Bobby, and LK all chose TV. As TV pouts and wipes away tears, they tell Tila that TV's an attention whore with some rage issues. Now if that doesn't equal soul mate, I don't know what does.
After getting emotionally sodomized, TV says LK told her she's actually bisexual and doesn't know if she likes men or women. LK jumps in to call TV a liar, and both women sob and yell at each other while Tila looks on in disgust. Finally Tila regains control and announces that since TV was voted least compatible, she's won one-on-one time with Tila to prove the group wrong. This of course does not sit well with the group, but c'mon guys, you should have seen that one coming.
We go straight to TV's dinner date with Tila, and TV is scrambling to climb out of the hole she's dug herself. She babbles about how she's a sweet person inside, and she doesn't like drama, and is done with the drama ... as she continues talking shit about the other contestants. Tila tries to interject a few comments into TV's panicked monologue, and TV immediately interrupts and cuts her off. Tila is beyond not happy, and mocks TV repeatedly to us, saying the girl would not STFU. TV in turn tells us that she thinks the date went splendid and they had a great time!
When my date makes this face, it's usually a sign he's not calling me again...
Next Tila meets Dani for dessert, and it goes great with Tila telling us that she's digging Dani's androgynous side. As the cuddle - again - Tila asks Dani if she's ever worn dresses or other girly clothes. Dani says she looks like a drag queen when she dresses girly, and Tila squeals with laughter and they make out. Who knew in the first episode that Dani would be the clear front runner? I was too busy figuring out what gender she was.
Crack head Barbieā¢
Elimination time. Tila's sending home 1 boy and 1 girl tonight. Amanda is called first to tower over little Tila, and we see that LK's already in tears and TV's fretfully fidgeting. Bobby's predictably the first boy, and he grabs his ass and limps back to his seat. Looks like that spill in the champagne glass left him with some bruises. Or Tila introduced him to her private toy collection. Ryan and Dani are called next, leaving Steven, Guido, TV, and LK in the bottom four.
They step forward, and to Steven's horror she keeps Guido. It disturbs me to say this, but Guido's kinda looking good tonight, in a subdued suit and without any goofy headwear. Not like I think he really has a chance with Tila. Or that I would touch him with a ten-foot pole. Just sayin'. She then sends Steven back to promote the local Applebee's in Dothan, Alabama. Steven appears to bite back a few choice words, then maturely hugs everyone goodbye and wishes them good luck. Bye bye, Steven. Next time don't force yourself on the girl and claim you earned it.
No means no, Steven.

Haven't seen this episode yet, but feel like I have - what a great recap!
I want Dani to win because I really do like and respect her... but want her to lose for the exact same reason. Tila is okay - sometimes - but Dani definitely deserves better.
Crazy Ashley and crazy TV - now there just has to be a reality spin-off buried under all that BS. Oy!
I share your aversion to food based challenges. I always skipped past the second stage of Fear Factor.

I loved the fight. Tranny is a whacked out bitch. Loved her!
I am a married woman and have NEVER been attracted to other women. I've stared at lots that I would have loved to look like, but never in a sexual "I-can-totally-see-myself-holding-hands-with-her-at-the-mall" type of thing. But man, Dani has something. It's her look. I've never seen a butch lesbian quite like her. I couldn't quite put my finger on it until Tila said androgynous. That's what it is. Still, I can't explain it but she just looks so natural as herself. Not a girl pretending to be a boy. Plus, she's so charming and seems she would be so romantic.
I would never have believed that a woman would ever make me swoon. It may be the only time in my life it will ever happen, but it has!

OMG - LoLo - "is Flava Flav an option?" - cracked my shit up!! (oh, I also love the subtle mocking by quotation marks..like Tila goes overseas for "work" or Guido, don't they have catfights in "Italy" awesome!)
My thoughts on this episode,
First: I have a total LOVE/HATE relationship with my DVR. Loves it for obvious reasons - no commercials and I could rewind the cat-fight like 20 times. Hates it because it cut off the show before it was over! Love Hangover? WTF was that?
Second, although I was rooting for the LK - I was kind of pissed that she yelled at my man/woman crush (Danni) - Do not FUCK with Danni!
Third, kind of a stupid question, but was the champagne bath actual champagne? If so - EW and sticky! SO not worth eating that shit!
Anyway - I cannot get enough of this trashy show! Or LoLo's recaps!
Love it :)

Watching them do shots of blood was beyond disgusting, it's just downright hazardous to your health. Ever heard of blood transmitted diseases, MtV? There's a lot more than AIDS to be worried about. Amanda must be wicked angry about chugging that vile stuff and still losing the date. Way to comprimise your vegan standards, slag!
Every guy there is a complete tool, so I guess my vote would be for Dani. Nice, and cool in that Shane from "The L Word" kind of way, she seems to be comanding most of Tila's thoughts. Tim will tell. At least crazy TV is gone (Hopefully? She seems to be staging a protest at the bottom of the stairs. Time to call in Jerry Springer's dudes to drag her butt off the property for good.)

Hey guys! Thanks for the comments as always -- I'm glad you're enjoying the recaps and joining me in the girl-crush on Dani!
Josef -- I'm not sure if Amanda's having a nipple slip there, but I definitely think there's an areola slip...

Oh and those are some BIG nipples in that pic of Amanda.
