NOOOOOO!!! Danielle and my evil twin brother Karl get eliminated. (Well, which one of us is the evil twin hasn’t been established yet, but he still left the mansion.)
What this means, of course, is that the three couples I picked out as staying around the longest because of their lack of air time are still there along with Cher and Josh. Am I good or what?
Given Karl’s mention of all the pythons in the room, I wonder how much Chris would have been strutting around after losing his clothes. You know, with him being cut and all. I also wonder if that was the purpose of the body waxing during the makeovers—so you wouldn’t be thinking of Guns N Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” when the guys whipped off their shirts. And as a final note, I’d like to point out that when playing poker, it’s better to have a really good hand than to be really good at bluffing with a crappy one.
Josh received the most guests and became a social butterfly. I am shocked, awed and pretty impressed all at the same time. (I liked how they made him look like Richard asking for phone numbers—a whole lot of miserable failures, reactions to people ignoring him… if he had said something like, “Do you like garlic? ‘Cause there’s gonna be a lot at this VIP party,” I probably would have started crying.) As for Karl and Danielle… at least they had good food to eat while waiting for no one to show up.
Oh, and I would like to point something out regarding Wes and Cher hooking up. Perhaps the WB changed its policy for Season 2, but before Season 1 began filming, we had to sign yet another contract that disallowed certain kinds of physical contact. Had Wes and Cher been abiding by that contract while curled up in bed, they would have had limited options beyond making out. I think the list we came up with was trimmed down to dry-humping, footjobs and tossing the salad.
“I’m not asking you to make the decision, I’m asking for your personal opinion.” It seems Cher’s personal opinion was enough to tilt the scales away from Wes.
Finally, I seem to recall people getting kinda pissed that last season’s host was getting a little more involved in the show than he should have. If that was the case, then they must be gettin’ their mad on after this episode—the cameras showed him cracking up and having fun during strip poker, gave him a little monologue after Karl and Danielle left the elimination room (”You must have lost some good friends”)… I wonder if it’ll get any worse.
