Ending and Pretending

Sit back and relax, because this freak show is almost over. All that remains is the self-pity, the self-aggrandizement, the airing of dirty laundry, the return of various personal demons, and the part where Lisa kicks Danielle's self-satisfied behind. Oh, yeah. That's the stuff.

3-13 Recap Ending and Pretending
The Princess Lands Her Tiara - Sit back and relax, because this freak show is almost over. All that remains is the self-pity, the self-aggrandizement, the airing of dirty laundry, the return of various personal demons, and the part where Lisa kicks Danielle's self-satisfied behind. Oh, yeah. That's the stuff.

3-6 Recap Spare the Rod, Foil the Child
Josh's Luck Runs Out - Roddy and Josh are up for eviction, and it's a week of whining, moaning, weird boyish love, and lizard metaphors. All this, plus the return of Amy the Cheese Princess. But really, the theme is bitterness and hatred. And that's just Lisa.

3-3 Recap Peanut Butter...Shudder
Marcellas Makes His Move - Marcellas is head of household and tries to get rid of Josh, and Miss Alli despairs. Need they victimize defenseless sandwich makings? Need they traumatize the lettuce? Need they contaminate the electric clippers? Need they grow gruesome facial hair? Need they fail in their sacred duty to evict the most obnoxious human being reality television has ever known? Oh, yes. Apparently so.

3-2 Recap When Gerry Met Salad...
The Inaugural Boot - Gerry icks up the salad and gums up the Goober alliance's grand scheme by un-nominating Marcellas. Because he has a dream, or possibly an aneurysm. The boot eventually goes to Lori, who has been bugging out, slowly but spectacularly, all week.

2-7 Recap It's On!
It's On! - Nicole dares to nominate Krusta and Monica, thereby turning it "on." Yes, that's correct: it is now on. True, no one exactly knows what that means, but how much do semantics really matter when you've got a crazy lady, two evil masterminds, a delusional drunk, a betrayed pretty boy and a weepy hairy guy?
