Julie is holding a meeting for their television show in the bedroom, and all roommates are in attendance. Julie mentions that the show will start with Melissa's segment, and then another segment to be determined during that meeting, and then "close with the band." In an interview, Matt informs us that the show is "Julie's child." Is that like Destiny's Child? Does that mean that the show will ask if I can pay its bills, can I pay its telephone bills, can I pay its automobills, and if I did then maybe we could chill. That song always bugged me, because what the fuck is an "automobill"? I get that they combined "automobile" and "bill" into one word, but it still doesn't make sense. Oh yeah, the show. Matt tells us that Julie wants them to be natural and funny. Julie starts running down the segments they have planned, and then tells us in an interview that she wants it to be "Dave Letterman meets Tom Green meets Belfort Seven!" If anyone puts poo on a microphone, I'm turning this off. I can't abide that. Melissa, who will be doing a fashion segment, says she'll be like, "You cannot wear stone-washed jeans with a zipper on the bottom!" Hee! She's funny. I swear, I'm not just saying that because she may have posted in our forums. Okay, it would have been funnier if she said "acid-washed." Matt says he's willing to do "a mullet search," which is funny, and a total shout-out to MBTV's own Megyn, who also does mullet searches. Julie think that would be hilarious, and others agree. Random shots of all the roommates for no apparent reason. I wonder if Jamie and Kelley are friends this week? I love how the producers build up this huge fight, and then never mention it again. Oh, I forgot, they "made up" at the end of the last episode. Yeah, I still don't buy it.
, we see a "Mullet Hunters" segment, featuring David, Jamie and Matt. It's actually kind of amusing. David is brushing his goatee with what looks like a shoe polishing brush. I hope that was supposed to be an homage to some '70s cop show I never saw, because otherwise it's just weird. I'm guessing it is because the music is all Shaft-y. In an interview, Matt explains what a mullet is. Is there anyone out there who doesn't know what a mullet is at this point? Or visited eighty websites devoted to them? Matt explains that it's short on the sides, long in the back. Okay, it was funny when he said, "Business in the front, party in the back." I'll grant him that. Matt says his job is to put together a little segment called "Matt the Mullet Hunter," and then he smiles. You know, when he smiles, he's kind of cute. He should smile more often. Anyway, we see shots of various mullet permutations around New Orleans. They interview one guy who says he cuts his hair himself (no!) and that chicks do dig it. Matt concludes his interview by saying it's "the most beautiful haircut" and it "brings a tear to [his] eye." Look, sure, mullets equal funny. But doesn't it seem kind of weird that Mister Christian is all having fun at the expense of others? He can claim that it's mullet worship all he wants, but the whole thing is obviously tongue-in-cheek. I personally have no problem with having fun at the expense of others -- I do it every week, right here! But for someone who claims to be so religious, I would think Matt would consider it a sin. David and Matt walk away and wonder where Jamie went. David says he's taping "that little ass that just went by." We see Jamie following some unsuspecting girl down the street with the camera. Ew! That is borderline harassment, right there. He's all proud of himself. Yuck.
, Julie introduces her brother's band "Zero To Nothing." What does that even mean? Maybe it's a Mormon thing. Julie shouldn't dance. Ever. In an interview, Matt says that Julie is the best producer they've had by far. David says, in an interview, that Julie has "a hidden beast she is ready to let loose." She apparently lets that beast loose by dancing on camera, and she should really rein that beast back in. Okay, we just saw Julie run up onto the stage area, and then we see her hugging Melissa off-camera, then we see Jamie being white as usual, then we see Julie and Melissa on stage again. Continuity, much? In an interview, Melissa says she's happy that Julie is happy with the end product. We get one last shot of Dan, and one last shot of Mr. Mormon. Then, Jamie does the scariest and most ill-advised thing ever -- he puts his own head in front of the camera he's operating, and he's really close, so it takes up like the whole screen, because his head is big anyway. Oh great, now I'm going to have nightmares. Everyone claps for the band.
Back at Belfort, Kelley is telling Julie's parents that Julie is the nicest person and the most open-minded person in the house. Julie's all "Stop" but gesturing "Keep it coming" with her hand. In a confessional, Julie says it's good for her dad to hear such great things about her, because he always thinks bad things. Kelley concludes by thanking Julie's parents for sending her there. Who knew Kelley was such a big Julie fan? Julie's dad says that he likes hearing these things, and he might even reinstate her allowance. Julie makes a face like, "God, Dad! These people don't know I still have an allowance! Did you have to say that?" Or maybe that's just my interpretation. In an interview, Kelley says that Julie's father loves her very much and wants the best for her, but doesn't really know how to go about getting it, so "it comes off as control, control, control." Kelley likes to say words three times. Just watch for it. I know she's done that before. Julie's parents ask if they're picking her up for church tomorrow, and she says she will meet them there. In an interview, Julie says that her dad doesn't know how to deal with "losing control of [her] life" and is constantly trying to make sure that she's going in the right direction, but she doesn't think it's always the right direction. Kelley and Danny ask Julie if she's going to the rave, and she says she will.
Oh God. This is so lame. There are shots of Julie nodding her head at the rave, intercut with scenes of Julie's dad and the church and stuff. Julie looks like she could not be having any less fun at the rave. This edit is totally seizure-inducing. I have to fast forward, I'm sorry. I know we all get it, anyway. Julie has to decide between her non-decadent decadent lifestyle and her family and the church.
