Berto is finally getting a clue that it might not have been such a good idea to grope nasties with Gisel on their first night in the house and tells us that, while Gisel's a beautiful girl with great attributes, her attitude "would make any guy want to throw up." LMAO. Normally, after a little man-ho side groping, Berto can probably ditch the girl if any inconvenient results start to surface. Unfortunately, he's now locked in a house with the results of his bad judgment. I want to know if Gisel followed Berto back to NYC after the taping ended and has been stalking him from there? Berto, keeping his eye on the prize of winning Viva Hollywood, is realizing that he has to be careful of how he deals with Gisel because he can't have her fold up in the corner like a "whiny jealous little doll." And, really, it shouldn't be too difficult to keep her happy. Stalkers are notoriously delusional about their victims affections.
Back at the Casa de Locos, the contestants keep practicing. Jenn is smacking Enrique's hands to get them to stay up; a novel technique that Enrique seems to like. Gisel has snagged Berto for herself, but chiefly sits on his lap complaining that her ankle is hurting. And Roseny and Geovannie rehearse their Flamenco dance, as Roseny, like a true ice princess, slowly sucks the passion out of the dance by instructing Geovannie not to stand too close and under no circumstances touch her, even with the surgical gloves on.
The chicos are exhausted and hungry when they gather in the dining room for their dinner. I just noticed that the Uncle Walty screen shows his picture benevolently watching over them like a really bizarre family portrait.
Just when you thought the Velvet Elvis was the ultimate in kitsch.
Enrique tells us that a producer comes in and pulls Silvia away and we're shown a quick clip of the producer's shirt. Meanwhile, Gisel is complaining about the dessert and Berto points out that the only things she likes are chicken wings, lettuce and air. Roseny, fed up with Gisel's ceaseless complaining, tells her that she fits well into her hair color. I know the dumb blond stereotype, so I guess this must be the updated dumb. Blond, whiny, complaining stereotype. I think it's hysterical that Gisel complains even more than the ice princess.
Silvia comes back from her private convo with the producer and sits down at the table looking quite composed for about two minutes and then she's in tears. Silvia explains that there's a personal emergency and she has to leave the competition, but she can't say what it is. Okay, I'm officially going nuts. I can't find any information on the personal emergency anywhere on the web, dammit. What can I say? I'm a yenta and I like to know these things.
The Ice Princess asks suspiciously if Silvia is acting. And Berto's all like shut your mouth, bitch, it's not an act and then to Silvia, "what happened?" Actually, I added in the 'shut your mouth, bitch' part. Roseny's beginning to seriously bug me.
Silvia tearfully tells the chicos how awesome they are and that they're the strongest contestants in the house. Then taking a moment to channel Oprah, she gives a parting pep talk to Gisel interspersed with sobs and tears. Something along the lines of if Gisel wasn't so f**ked up (my words not hers) she could actually succeed. Gisel blinks and takes it in, or at least tells the camera that she really heard Silvia's words of wisdom. Then, Silvia and Gisel tearfully hug and chug their wine and are the best of friends for Silvia's last couple of minutes with them.

This review cracks me up. Does the "under the table" cameraman get paid extra for having sit under the entire day, or does he just get the "perks"?

I have to disagree, I think Carlos can pull off the fuschia shirt, specially if it's as tight as that one. He is so dreamy! :) Hilarious recap Yenta, loves it!

Hola;
bmcl: I can't help thinking that working a camera on this set must be a totally bizarre experience...Don't mind me I'm just going to squat under your dinner for a few moments...
MichyPR: I wish that Carlos would sing on the show, but maybe the comparison with the actual contestants would be too painful...sigh...
