They called me chipmunk-cheeks in middle school. Guess I showed them!
This week on True Beauty, four contestants remain: Paggie, LLL, Encino Man and Billy. In a surprise move, their moms (and Billy's dad) come to escort them to a fake hollywood party, and they get judged on their conversational skills, beauty and ability to not make any of the guests vomit.
Hey Yo- I'm sick this week. Blech. Sick like fever but also ill as in cool, or whatever the kids are saying. So sorry if most of my jokes revolve around Sudafed or Hot soup and my pee smelling funny. But, I digress....
This week, the remaining beauties wait for either Ray or LLL to come back from the Hall of Beauty. Encino man thinks Billy's downfall in the competition is his giganti-crush on LLL. DUH. Billy, ever the poet, thinks that Ray is Encino Man's "Smalls" (the dumb-ass nickname for LLL because she's SMALL. GET IT?). And I love how Encino Man, master strategist, feels like he can beat anyone and recognize weakness. He smells it, eats it for breakfast, and poops it out of his well-muscled ass. Oh Encino Man, when will you learn that this fake competition is about not being scary and gross-looking?
But what? Hark!
I smell fake tanner and STDs.....
LLL comes bounding back into the house and brags to everyone about the compliments the judges gave her before she nearly got eliminated.
I'm the sexiest one on the house. But also, they want me to suture my mouth shut.
Encino Man, boy psychologist, still doesn't see the fire in LLL's eyes. Sorry, Encino Man, not all of us can have the aggressiveness of a two year old unspayed pitbull. Plus, we love LLL for her utter lack of stick-to-itveness. Right? She wouldn't be LLL without the discipline of a gaggle of ADHD kids and her ginormous rack. Am I right? And I love how the editors cut to Encino Man's face when LLL said the judges thought she was the sexiest. Of COURSE Encino Man is jealous. Also, LLL has opposable thumbs. Do you, Encino Man? Well, DO YA?
The next morning is like any day: LLL is out half naked on the porch, Paggie does her hair, Encino Man rubs lotion on his nether-parts and Billy prolongs the aging process. Then, the four remaining beauties eat breakfast. As they do this, the Beauty Bus honks at them and they "get outta dodge" according to Encino Man, and into the bus. Why is the program spending so much time on the limo honking at the beauties? Probably because this is going to be an action-packed episode, right? Riiight....
The Ladies clamour to look as made up as possible while Billy drifts into existentialist thought.
Why do we, as mere humans, exist on the planet? I need to make a poopy.
They stop off at a salon, and Encino Man is utterly perplexed as to what kind of challenge could be done in a salon. Okay, Encino Man, really? I am surprised that you don't live in a salon for this program. Then Encino Man makes a dig about Billy getting more highlights. Yeah, I know, this coming from the guy whose sole purpose in life is to look good naked....
Nessie meets them in the Salon and tells the Beauties that they're going to be going to a "High Society Function," (aka, a totally staged party for the purposes of the show) that is "very important" (only within the context of the ABC show True Beauty) and that they'll be "debuting themselves as guest of honor" (making asses of themselves on national television) with a "date," (their moms or dads). Oh, the glamour of hollywood.
Both Billy and Paggie are picturing Nessie naked in this still.
Of course, they will be Judged by how hot they look but also how terrible they will act in front of people. And YEP- their dates are their moms and in Billy's case, their dad.
LLL was expecting her Date would be some strange man (business as usual), but in actuality, it's her Mom, who looks nothing like her! Wow!
Hi. And, I'm so, so sorry.
She's cute for a mom, though. Nessie seems to be acting extra-condescening in front of the Beauties today, raising her eyebrows a lot and asking them if "they're happy with their dates," while a tearful reunion commences. Oh Ness, do you need a 98 degrees ballad to be pumped through the loudspeaker so you can emote a little? Because gosh darnit, I will. That's a promise.

Wow, Nessie sure was defending Encino Man hard during the judges' deliberation.
Why are people so enamored with him? I truly just don't get it.
Other than having nice eyes, I don't think he's good looking...and his attitude makes him even less so.
My final vote is for Paggie...by a mile.
Thanks for the recap.
Feel better, Monamonzano!

Funny enough, I'm wallowing in mucous myself right. Hard to imagine a body could produce so much icky stuff.
Really goes well with this show.
Is anyone else highly offended that they're crowning the most beautiful person in America and that haven't even met me?
Well, okay, technically, I'm not in America, so I'll let them have it this time.
Paggie's going to win because apparently 'beautiful' means 'blandly inoffensive and 'sort-of- pretty-but-not-too-much'.
What a STOOOOPID show! Still can't believe it's on prime time!

Thanks Mona,
It's hard to imagine who will win this, I don't think any of them are beautiful inside. I still miss Chelsea, not that she was beautiful inside either, but at least she wept . . . oh well, at least it's only the finale coming! I'll stay tuned till then . . . and as far as Nessie and Nick, I'm not sure who's the lucky one there . . . it is me!???

See, I kind of think Nessie is the hottest one there.
And you just KNOW she's thinking the same thing.
My bet: she's going to crown herself the winner.
And another thing: what the fuck is wrong with Cheryl Tiegs' upper lip? Do these people truly believe their plastic surgery looks natural?

I hate this show. That is all......
Okay, that's not REALLY all. It's so obvious the stupid judges can't even stick by the show's own premise! The fact that Joel and LLL even made it this far is ridiculous. They knew long before that they both only had beauty on the outside. Out of who's LEFT, Billy should win. Paggie is fake and Joel is an A-hole.
And in regards to a bad upper liip, have you seen Ramona's on Real Housewives of NY? Her top lip is white and shiny! Weird!
