By Sara M | Season 18 | Episode 12 | Aired on 05.07.2009
Back among the normal people with actual loved ones, J.T. cuts some Brazilian nut/fruit thing open and offers it to his sister to try. She's not into it. Erinn's dad takes a bite, and he's not thrilled.
Over at Exile, Taj is warning Football Star Eddie George to watch out for scorpions. "Scorpions, huh?" he says, looking about as happy as you'd expect. "They're more afraid of you than you are of them," Taj says causally. In my case, at least, this is simply not true. Football Star Eddie George says that despite playing against all kinds of intimidating football players in his career, he's still not thrilled to come face-to-face with snakes, spiders, and scorpions. Whatever, have you guys seen Football Star Eddie George's shoulders? Damn. And look at this woodsman! He starts a fire seemingly effortlessly. "That's my man!" Taj says proudly. Football Star Eddie George says that seeing what Taj has gone through over the past thirty-one days has given him a newfound respect for his wife. He gives her a foot massage for her efforts and is now the perfect husband. Taj and Football Star Eddie George take the obligatory walk up the dune to check out the view as Taj says her husband is the love of her life.
Meanwhile, Stephen is crying while his brother rubs his back and says he's doing a great job. Stephen says the family visit makes it hard to keep the people he misses back home out of his mind, which you have to do in this game. Now he misses everyone. J.T. asks his sister about someone named Jamie, noting that he never thought he'd miss his family so much. Both J.T. and his sister wish he was back home with the cows. That's pretty much what I expected from J.T.'s family visit. Debbie sobs that being out here has changed her and she won't take things for granted anymore. Her husband isn't much of a talker. Debbie interviews that she and her husband love each other very much and it meant a lot to her that he came out to support her, as if he'd pass up a free trip to Brazil. I sure wouldn't. Unless it was to visit Douche, of course. Which probably explains why his actual loved ones aren't here. Erinn tells her dad that she's a "total badass" now and interviews that it was great to have someone out here who is fully on her side and won't use anything she says against her. With that, it's time for everyone to go. Douche hugs his Assistant Douche good-bye, and Erinn tells her dad not to let her mother know how skinny she got. Aww, Erinn doesn't want her mom to worry. And over at Exile, Taj and Football Star Eddie George must also part ways.
