She's With The Band

Man, between Aneesa and this totally anonymous lead singer who is definitely not Todd Park Mohr from Big Head Todd, the pixillator has had a lot of work on his or her hands this season already.

CJP talks to Jared on the phone again. He's so the Stephanie of this season. Jared says that he can't hold her back anymore. CJP cringes and says that this is the time of her life to be selfish. Jared disagrees and reminds her that what she does is going to affect a lot of people's lives, especially his. When I first saw this, I was like, "What a controlling jerk! I'm glad she dumped him." And then my friend Mary pointed out that he was probably talking about the fact that she's on national television, and that's how her actions affect her loved ones and him. So that makes a lot more sense, and I could see why he'd want to remind her of that. Especially in light of what happens later. But again, I'm getting ahead of myself. In an interview, CJP says that it feels "a little bit wrong having so much fun being single." CJP tells Tonya that she loves Jared, and he's really good-looking, and she wonders why she's not with him. Tonya doesn't really pay attention. Based on the roommates' reactions in this episode, I get the feeling that CJP babbles a lot about herself, and the roommates are already tired of it.

Keri asks Aneesa and CJP if they want to go to Old St. Pat's Block Party, where a band is playing. I would tell you which band it is, but it's bleeped out. Okay, it was Big Head Todd & the Monsters. I'm fairly certain, but again, I don't know that for sure, and I definitely wouldn't want to make any libelous statements about them. So, CJP loves that band and is all fired up about going.

The ladies arrive at the block party and watch the band perform. The band members' faces are blurred out, so you can't tell that the lead singer may or may not be Todd Park Mohr. In an interview, CJP says that she was drooling over the lead singer, and that she's been listening to the band since she was thirteen. What they don't show you is that CJP actually took a date to this block party. So keep that in mind -- she has a date there. CJP and Keri wait by the side of the stage for the band to come off. They joke that they feel like groupies. CJP tells everyone that the lead singer told her to come backstage and hang out, and she already kissed him and "slipped off his sweat." Ew! That's gross. The lead singer comes over, and CJP flirts with him some more. She apologizes to her date for ignoring him, but uses the excuse that she's "starstruck." The music claims, "It was a bad idea." Back home, Keri tells Aneesa that CJP went somewhere with the lead singer, and they don't know where. CJP is at the House of Blues with the band. Man, between Aneesa and this totally anonymous lead singer who is definitely not Todd Park Mohr from Big Head Todd, the pixillator has had a lot of work on his or her hands this season already.

The morning, Theo comes in and teases CJP about where she was last night. He asks if she got naked, and she will only say, "Maybe. Maybe not." CJP says that the lead singer was a great kisser and couldn't have been gentler. In an interview, Theo says that people are going to think that CJP is easy, and maybe she should tone it down. CJP claims that she has "testosterone all over her hands." Again, ew! I don't even want to think of the implications of that claim. In an interview, CJP says that it's "kind of thrilling" to hook up with rock star, and yet she feels like "a loser and a groupie admitting that." CJP tells someone that all she could think about was what a good singer he was, and then she sing-songs, "I made out with a rock star." Okay, look. I have no problem with CJP sleeping with whomever she chooses, as often as she chooses. But I hate to say it -- Jared is right. Now her parents and the rest of her family are all going to be faced with her actions. Is that what she wants, really? Maybe she does. I don't know. The other thing that bugs me about CJP is that she has this way of being self-deprecating and admitting her flaws (like "I always have to have a boyfriend" or "Boys give me an ego boost" or "I feel like a groupie,") and thus makes the dig before you can judge her. But then she goes ahead and gloats about it anyway. I don't know. It's just annoying. It's like, if she can recognize the bad behavior, why doesn't she just not do it in the first place?
