Hey sorry about the lack of recaps for this intellectually thrilling (blogger's opinion) show but between AMC's Rocky marathon (I can watch those movies all day, they never get old although some things you look at differently today like when Rocky first kisses Adrian, that scene is kind of creepy by today's standards. Seriously, watch it again) and the FIFA Women's World Cup (What? There's two lockouts. Give me a break) I have not had much time to write about the happenings in Costa Rica. All jokes aside, I have been lazy these past 2 weeks and will try to write a new recap the thursday after each episode starting this week. Look for Episode 3 to be up sometime tomorrow. And now on to the show:
MVP of the Episode: Jasmine (she's kind of like Nate Robinson; short, unpredictable, wont always do or say the smartest things but will always be entertaining)
Quote of the Episode: CT - "I got more gas, I'm the gas station, those kids need to fill up if they need some help cuz i will not stop" Not sure what this was referring to but it was amazing nonetheless
This episode started off with Tyler getting mad that someone had taken his Magnum condoms (why he felt the need to mention the brand is beyond me) and that they are expensive. It was revealed to be Tyrie who got caught having sex with Jasmine which led to Kenny saying that Tyrie hasn't gotten laid in 14 years. They then showed Mike telling the rest of the castmates about super genetic crops to a stunned, bored and definitely confused audience (half of these people don't understand what genetic means). This leads to Kenny ripping on Mike's haircut calling it the worst he's ever seen which leads me to wonder, do people write these jokes for Kenny? The challenge of the week was crushing a car with a machine while the other person steers the machine so that the car can be pushed through a goal. The catch is that you have to sit in your partner's lap.
This week was a guy's elimination round so the guys were competing for safety while the ladies were competing for $2000 which is why it was strange when Brandon and Ty got DQ'd for trying to flip the car, why try something when you don't know if it's in the rules or not? Especially during an elimination week. Johnny spoke on the difficulty of operating the machine. I don't know if the machine is that complicated or that Johnny isn't exactly the smartest guy.. Could be both. Kenny and Wes proceed to get disqualified in an extremely short time (10 seconds according to CT). For all the talk of them being the super-team, through 2 episodes they certainly haven't showed it. Both Sarah + Katelynn and Jasmine + Jonna get DQ'd for different reasons (The amount of throwing teammates under the bus that has already occured this episode would make Kobe proud). Side-note: Another Rocky point, What would the best fight be out of all the Rocky characters? My pick is Clubber Lang vs Ivan Drago, if Rocky ended the Cold War with his victory speech then Clubber would have definitely started an all out nuclear war with his. I'd love to watch that fight while the last fight i would want to see is Tommy Gunn vs anyone.
Back to the episode, Paula and Evelyn win the 2000 dollars while Adam and CT win the challenge and avoid elimination (does anyone know why everyone hates CT so much? he seems a little crazy but nothing to warrant the type of hate he receives) while Kenny and Wes are the losers and are sent into the jungle. During the voting process they call out Tyrie and Davis into the jungle and everyone else agrees. This leads to an entertaining shit-talking session between Kenny and Tyrie. Wes, Kenny, and Nehemiah then have a pre-game meditation session that Phil Jackson would be proud of. Weirdest quote of the night goes to Jasmine for saying "you're like a brother to me" to Tyrie (What the Fuck??). This is followed by Jonna flipping out on Camila for calling her by the wrong name which leads to Jasmine and Theresa getting involved and having one of these. Jasmine then proceeds to tell everyone that she's from Houston and that if someone rolls up on her again like that, that they will get cut (that was basically the actual quote). If someone gets my friend's name wrong, I just correct them and get on with my life, Jasmine breaks mirrors with her hand. Everyone's got their way of dealing with shit. Finally, this week's jungle was kind of an O-line vs D-line football drill except that you are tied to your partner. Right before it started, we learned that Tyrie played college football... how can he lose this? Oh yeah, he has Davis on his team. In the end Kenny and Wes beat out Tyrie and Davis sending them packing (Btw, what was up with Mike's fedora at the end? What look was he trying to pull off? I was legitimately confused for 5 minutes). Solid and entertaining episode which will hopefully be the status quo for the rest of the season.
