After a brief update on the nasty forest fires in Central TX, we tune back in to the BP where Harrison is telling them they need to partner up with someone from the opposite sex for the remainder of the show.
Holly is confused, she wants to hook up with Blake. But she promised Michael...boohoo
Erica is scrambling since everyone else is partnered up. She latches on to Blake too since he's left in the cold also. She think it's a step up since Holly's nothing special and is annoying. Gosh, if only there was a mirror just then...
The "couples" decide it's time to play get to know you, since most of them have only known each other for a few weeks.
Erica: "If you were an animal what would you be?"
Blake: "A flying squirrel" For real? I guess it's fitting since he's basically a varmant.
Grom and Michelle have some catching up to do, since he doesn't even know her favorite color.
Kasey and Vienna have been together for sooo long that they just decide to peace out and let the rookies waste their time. This probably means they will crash and burn in the competition.
Bring on the nearlywed game. Everyone's a bit intimidated by Michael and Holly since they have the longest history together. Kasey and Vienna are uber confident because they've been together for soooo long (which I think is actually 6 months). I guess thats an eternity for her.
Kasey and Vienna lose basically every question.
Harrison: If your partner could be any animal, what would they be?
Kasey: A rabbit. For real? Is that alluding to something? If so, gross...
Vienna: A lion. Ouch
Harrison: what is the one thing your ex would miss most about you?
Vienna: my boobs
Kasey: her teeth. Seriously? Apparently he has an IQ of 177, which I would like to see proof of by the way, but too bad that wasn't one of the questions.
It seems like most of these questions are meant to drive Michael and Holly apart. They ask questions about who would your partner want to hook up with in the house, etc.
Michael: "I really want to punch him in his ridiculously perfect dentist mouth." Michael doesn't like Blake, obviously. And apparently no one else does either...he gets voted least popular in the house
We start catching on to something when there's some interesting answers coming from the Michelle/Graham camp. They say Michael is the worst dresser in the house.
Next question is when did your partner lose their virginity:
Grom apaprently lost his virginity at 7...yikes. But you might recall, that his partner's "number" was 7.
Michelle and Graham obviously developed a scheme to answer questions and it's genius. Everyone's kind of bitter about it, but jealous that they weren't as clever.
Michelle and Graham get roses. Michelle is wearing the biggest necklace I've ever seen. I hope she doesn't fall in the pool because she will sink straight to the bottom.
Blake and Erica come in second, and per the rules will also get a romantic date.
Blake's ready to sleep in the bed he made...just not Erica's as we'll see later.
Erica points out that Mike's anger is misdirected at Blake because Holly is the one he has history with. She's trying to turn Stag against his partner in an effort to take the spotlight off Blake. Fat chance.
Vienna is visibly upset that they suck at challenges.
In time for Michelle and Graham's date, low and behold, we hear the dreaded sound. Oh wow. A helicopter. What a novel concept. Not.
Kasey wishes it was him and Vienna on the date to get some "stress relieved." Gross
They land on a rooftop in downtown LA at sunset. It was romantic, duh.
Back at the house, tension is brewing with Vienna and Kasey.
Vienna: "He ripped the ring off my finger because I wouldn't have sex with him" As she broadcasts to anyone who will listen in the kitchen. Most everyone tries to clear out of there, others can't pull their eyes/ears away from the trainwreck (i.e. Ella)
"Don't be crazy"-Kasey. That's like asking a rooster not to crow at sunrise.
Vienna: "I don't want to do "it" in this house." I'm sorry, but where was that sentiment when you were flouncing around naked on camera a few weeks ago??
Kasey: "I just want you to cuddle with me." I've heard that one before...there is no cuddling with boys.
Kasey: "It's tough. It's not easy dating her but I love her" 'Tough' and 'not easy' is a gentle way of putting it.
Vienna: "Let's just get this over with"
Back to Michelle and Graham. They get a private screening of "What's Your Number" in the hot tub. Michelle is relating way too much to this movie.
They start making out hard core while some strip HORSE is going on in the movie. Graham says he'd love to have Michelle a part of his life for a very long time. Isn't that sweet. I give them 2 weeks outside the house...
Blake and Erica's date card arrives. They're going on a "mission" They take a limo to a restored mission hotel in LA.
They start talking about their competitors and of course Michael and Holly, while Erica is seriously rubbing a hole in the thigh of his dress pants.
Blake: "I find it ludicrous that this impotent man has so much pull" Where does he come up with these words?! I think he reads Webster's for fun...
Of course Erica wears her tiara and she also packs some lingerie. Earlier she tells Michelle she's very horny. Soo freaking nasty.
Not two seconds later, Holly walks by in a bikini just as they're about to leave...Blake is visibly distracted.
While Erica and Blake are exploring the mission, back at the house at group dinner everyone gushes about Blake and his shadiness.
Holly likes Blake and has a tough time with everyone bashing him...Michael just looks downcast and defeated the whole time.
Erica talks to Blake about conversing with dead friends and ghosts. Later she talks about how she consulted with her astrologer, Herb, that said she'd be down to the last 2...and that she would have a romance toward the end. Again she furiously rubs Blake's thigh...
Blake: "Erica is many things but subtle"
For the next ten minutes, Erica tries to convince Blake to spend the night with her and hook up, and Blake tries to find any and every polite way of telling her why thats not a good idea. Aside from the fact that she's nasty...
They're given two roses at dinner to hand out to another couple of their choice. This might make things interesting...
Back at the house, this Mike and Holly broken record is killing me. Holly's checked out...let's move on.
Back on the date, Erica is still trying to seduce Blake. You would think at some point she would find her pride and stop, but no.
Meanwhile, Holly is lamenting to Ella about her Blake/Michael dilemma. Not only am I getting tired of her whining, I'm seriously getting tired of head scarves she wears all the time...
Erica is cursing now. She wants Blake to sleep with her, and he won't, and now she's getting all crazy. Apparently liking and respecting your partner in Erica's mind means having sex casually. Classy
Finally, she gives up and they go back to the house. The next morning, they run around scheming since they have the two safety roses to hand out.
They go to Kirk and Ella first, who promise their loyalty. Then they go to Kasey and Vienna
Kasey: "Just trust me and procure our safety and I give you my word" Yeah right. But since Blake also likes to use words like "ludicrous" and Kasey says "procure" this is a match made in heaven. Actually, Kasey promises that Michelle and Graham will vote however they vote so they can "ensure" his safety.
Who they don't seem to talk to is Holly and Michael...
They give the roses to Kasey and Vienna. Uh oh. Ella is shattered. She talks about having so much to lose if she goes home. I'm sorry, but do you have stock in this show? I'm pretty sure you can't say you "lost" $250,000 when you it wasn't yours to begin with.
Kasey and Vienna are both equally disgusting.
Kasey: "We have the power to help them if we want to, the question is, do we still want to?" Typical.
Ella is feeling the pressure of being a single mom and money is on the line.
Harrison arrives to announce that the Couples will not only vote together, but they also will stay together or leave together.
Ella has a big ole glass of wine for the rose ceremony.
Vienna has the ugliest outfit/shoes on. That white skirt looks like it's from the JC Penney juniors department, as do the shoes...
Blake and Holly are cuddling outside on the couch, making out. Michael sees and sulks off to vent to Graham and Michelle.
Mike convinces them that Blake and Erica are expendable and Blake can't be trusted. Graham says he will stick to the pact he made with Michael in the beginning and will have his back. In true form, they stand up to Vienna and Kasey and say they're going to vote them out. Kasey concedes without putting up a fight.
Blake and Erica made a botched deal. They're out...
Mike leaves their decision up to Holly. She's the deciding vote.
Ella is still comforting Holly even though Holly may very well vote her off...
Blake and Erica get eliminated. Holly's heart hurt. She hands him a handwritten note that he reads in the limo. Basically her heart is broken right now and this isn't the end for them. These people fall in and out of love like they're changing sweaters...I'm going to bet they're not together at the finale taping next week.
In other news, the finale is next week. Since there's 4 couples left and there's a reunion. I'm guessing it's going to be 4 hours long...yippee.
