Shane Primm tells Marilyn that his housemates won't have to deal with him every night, just the two nights before he's on a bus home. Oh, Shane, you naïve fool. It's touching that you still believe Big Daddy would toss his pet sociopath from the house? Big Daddy is probably dropping to his knees every night to thank the ratings gods for delivering Marilyn to him. Of course, there might be other reasons that Big Daddy is dropping to his knees, but that would be pure speculation on my part. At this point, I'd be surprised if the eliminated fighters weren't drawing straws to decide who takes one for the team, and knocks Marilyn the fuck out.
Meanwhile, in the house, the resident amateur psychiatrists are sharing their diagnoses of Marilyn's behavior. Efrain thinks that Marilyn is bipoloar. But, Cutie Pie Roli probably comes the closest when he explains that Marilyn is not bipolar, he's just a fucking dick.
Leaving the tawdry problem of Marilyn's existence, we move on to Mini Big Nog's guest trainer for the week, Anderson Silva.
The eggplant god.
This guy is truly poetry in motion. He is unbelievable to watch. You know that Frankie Mir's team has got to be gnashing their collective teeth. This would be like if Project Runway got divided into two teams, and one team got Ralph Lauren to come help them with their designs for a week, while the other team got bubkiss. I'm guessing there'd be some major glue gun action going on back at the loft.
And, along those lines, back at the house, Krazy can't seem to stop the practical jokes. This would be understandable in an adolescent, but a thirty-year-old man? Didn't his parents send him to camp to get this out of his system, or were those just the best days of his life and he can't seem to leave them behind? Of course, I should have some sympathy for the man.
It couldn't have been easy being Shrek's kid.
Anyhoo, in a fit of uncontrolled ecstasy, Krazy grabs Efrain's underwear and soaks them in water before hiding them in the freezer. Then, not content with turning Efrain's whitey tightys into novelty ice cubes, he and the rest of the blue team dump itching powder on Efrain's, Kyle's, Philippe's, and Roli's beds, with a little extra in Philippe's robe just for hoots.
The red team comes back from practice to find a note explaining that Efrain's undies have been taken hostage, but, if they can't find them, maybe they'll get them back in the morning. Because, it's perfectly normal for heterosexual men to steal each other's undies? The red team hunts high and low, before locating Efrain's undies in the freezer. Satisfied that the mystery is solved, and mildly amused by the relatively harmless prank. the weary red team climbs into bed. And starts to itch.
"I lay on my bed and my butt starts itching. I'm like this is kind of awkward."
Okay, I'm somebody that takes my sleep really seriously. I'm not a morning person and I'm not a night person, I'm more of a 'needs 10 hours of sleep' kind of person. So, I can totally understand why the red team is pissed about the itching powder. They're tired from practice and the underwear hunt, and now they have to strip their beds and wash their sheets. Not surprisingly, they start to plot their revenge. Personally, I would have gone with gluing a Ronald Mcdonald wig to Krazy's head when he was sleeping, but they're thinking along other lines. Kyle is preferring a more direct approach of breaking glass outside of the blue team's door. There's the popular suggestion of trimming 'their pubes and butt hair' and sprinkling the unfortunate trimmings across the blue team's pillows. Seriously, who admits to butt hair in this day and age? Philippe, who I generally like comes up with the gem of serving them meatballs with "poo-poo" in them.
Kind of like a poo poo platter, but with sauce.
With all of the house drama, I almost forgot that this show is about competing for a UFC contract, and, somewhere in the midst of these pleasantries, two light heavy weights are supposed to fight. Mini Big Nog chooses Eliot from the blue team to fight against Shane Primm. I have to make a small confession here. I've been making it a point to try and read the fighter's blogs, which are really kind of interesting, and Eliot just comes across as little more than a dickwad. So, in addition to wanting Mini Big Nog's team to win because he is totally my new hero, I really hope Shane wins this fight.

Great recap - not so great show.
The show is becoming a train wreck.
The main reason they should keep the show on is so that you can recap it.
Other than that, I can just flip on the channel with 8-15 minutes left of the show and wait a day or three and read the recap.

Love your recaps. Very disappointed in the show, Dana and "coach" Mir.
Dana spent so much time salvaging the image of UFC - and now he seems to be letting it be pissed away again (literally).
One theory on Junie's behavior - there is an area at the front of the braid that handles impulse control. It can be slow to develop and in some people it just doesn't. I'm guessing a brain scan would show little activity in that part of Junie's brain.
Junie is unlikely to change in the immediate future - especially if people like Dana and Mir continue to enable him.
Son of Shrek - LOL.

I wanted Shane to win too, but had a bad feeling when he made the remark about anyone can beat anyone on a given day.
No matter how you interpret that, I think it indicated he was thinking about losing... and he didn't go into the fight with the proper attitude.
At least he seemed to have a good attidutde after. He'll learn from it, and keep working and getting better.
And, win or lose, Elliott will still be a jerk.

Great Recap!!
OMG, who are these people. Who lives like this. My three year old wouldn't think of going on somebodies bed. And that coach Frankie is such a loser. I feel so bad for the nice boys in the house.
Thanks for making me laugh. Loved the son of shrek, too.

Ugh, this season is hard to watch. You know, I used to be a big fan of Frank Mir. He was the heavyweight champion and was exciting to watch. Then he was in a horrible motorcycle accident that almost killed him. He made a comeback that has had it's ups and downs and is finally in a position to climb back to the top of the mountain. Then he had to go and show his true colors as a coach on this show. Am I a fan now? Not so much. Minotauro is going to kill him. Seriously though. I don't think anyone who truly follows the UFC thinks Mir has a snowball's chance to beat Nog.

Mir is going to kick Nogs ass.

jujitsuking -
You spelled jiu jitsu wrong in your name. Even if you're trying to type it in it's japanese form, "jujutsu", you still fail.
Nogueira's jui jitsu is better, his striking is most definitely better, he has better cardio and he's universally known for how much damage he can take. Mir's striking is sloppy, his cardio is horrible and he can't take a punch.
Oh, and I find it laughable that you say you can't believe people read this stuff. You read it.

Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for taking the time to post your thoughts, it really makes my day to read your posts:)
Bmcl:I'm hoping that the show gets better as the interest in the actual "real" fights ramps up.
Fire@will: Wow, I wonder if you're right about Junie, but, if that were the case, I have to say it shows horrifically poor judgment to train him to hurt people. I think you're right about Shane, poor baby, but the rumor is that he'll be back fighting when somebody gets pulled due to injure.
Rosesarered: Hearts and flowers, I agree who lives like these guys?
HeyBuddy: I adore you!!! You give me hope that I'll get to see Nog kick Frank Mir's tuchus, and I would so love to see that.
Jujitsuking: Thank you for reading :)
UFCfan: I'm glad you liked the Shrek Screencap. You might explore some of the other blogs on the site, they're pretty funny and it's always good to laugh.
Hugs,
Yenta

UFCFan: it's a slam dunk. Minotauro FTW. I don't bet on fights, and I certainly wouldn't want others betting on fights based on my opinions, but if there was ever a fight I was certain of it's this one.
Yenta: Thanks! I love reading your recaps - almost more than I like watching the show. Now that I think about it, I like it more than the show. I can only stomache the actual fights.
Krazy has been one of the few fighters on this show who seemed like he was somewhat normal, but his insistence on pullings his childish parnks like of sours him to me. I know they are left with pretty much nothing to do in the house save train and drink copious amounts of alcohol, but come on! Freezing other dudes' underware? Putting itching powder in beds and clothes? Lame.

Just wanted you to know, Yenta and Rosesarered, that you are not the only ladies watching the show and reading this blog! Yay!! Girls Rule! :) If you want to see a really good MMA fight, check out Gina Carano on EliteXC - not only is she a hell of a fighter, but she's gorgeous to boot!
I also think that Nog is going to kick Frankie Mir's lazy ass. I think the reason Frankie gave Nog that attitude is because he's jealous of all the fun (?) the boys are having while he has to be the "grown up" coach. LOL! And Dana IS the biggest ratings whore ever - no doubt about it.
