"Poop with Legs" -
June 23 Last
week, we didn't get anyone booted out of the house,
but if you were to have the guys vote, they would all
say Johnny. The only problem is that they don't get
that power to vote, so Johnny is there...for now.
Homesick David and Flabby Bryce are also there, but
for how long?
We start on the morning of Day 9, where Blake makes
breakfast - in a thong. Rick appreciates that Blake is
trying to lighten a very stressed out house, while
Bryce is looking for a metabolism pill. Josh - 'Bryce
is working out as hard as he wants to', as we see
Bryce pigging out on deserts. Josh, on the other hand,
is trying to bulk up, and he looks like he's doing a
good job at that.
Back to the pressure - after the dance rehearsal,
Billy wants to speak to Johnny on a one on one basis.
Billy asks him why he is causing drama, and Johnny
replies that he is trying to perform to the cameras,
adding that this is a show and he is performing for
the cameras. The lightbulb hasn't gone off yet in
Johnny's head that the show isn't about him, but the
lightbulb in Billy's head just went off that Johnny
thinks that he is the star.
BIlly accuses of Johnny of not taking it seriously,
and he asks why it looks like Johnny isn't taking it
seriously. Johnny says that he wants to talk - but
without the cameras on. Billy isn't buying any of
that, and he presses Johnny, who responds by saying
that everyone out there knows that he is the most
talented and they are making his life difficult
because he is their biggest threat. Unbeknownst to
Johnny, the guys are right outside listening, and
their mouths are so agape that you can stick a beehive
in there.
Johnny tells them to not have the cameras there, and
Billy obliges. Though THAT camera is off, there is
another one going in the main office, and that one has
Johnny saying that the other people are upset when the
camera follows Johnny around, so they are screwing
around with him and are trying to set him up. Today's
word is delusional. Can we say delusional?
Back to the conversation. Johnny goes off on Ryan,
saying that he can see in Ryan's eyes that he is
intense and jealous, adding that he is a young,
punk-ass kid. Johnny gives Billy an ultimatum - either
him or Ryan. As Johnny storms out of the room, Tony
grinningly responds by saying, 'You want to know who's
the next one gone? I think I know.'
Billy is anything but grinning. Pissed that one of the
contestants gave HIM an ultimatum, Billy calls the
troops and rounds them upstairs. Everyone shows up -
except Johnny, who is outside. He calls out Johnny and
asks him to be mature, but Johnny has had enough and
says that he's done. Billy asks Johnny if he wants to
leave and he says yes. Billy asks if he wants to
discuss about it, and he says that he can't stand the
cameras anymore.
Billy finally figures out that Johnny didn't want to
work as a team with these people. Now it's Billy who
gives Johnny an ultimatum - to either come up and talk
about this with the guys or pack his bags. Johnny says
that he doesn't want to talk to the camera, but Billy
says that he has to talk to him in front of the
cameras. Johnny is still hedging and Billy has had
enough. Convinced that Johnny has lost purpose of this
show, Billy walks and tells him to pack. Johnny does
so and is waiting for Billy to come back. Billy
doesn't, but a producer does and tells him to pack.
Johnny asks if he can change his mind, but the
producer says no and that's that. Johnny asks him 4
times if it's done. The producer says yes, adding that
he pissed Billy off to the point where Johnny has to
leave now. He does so, and that's all we see of
Johnny.
Billy comes back up and announces that Johnny has
quit. Billy is frustrated that he could have given his
spot to someone else besides Steve and Johnny, who
didn't seem like they wanted it. Rick is thrilled that
a 'jackass' (in his words) is gone out of the house -
but the joy turns back to stress when Billy says that
there will be another elimination coming up soon.
Billy is happy that with Johnny gone, there seems to
be more camaraderie in the house. The camaraderie
continues when Billy says that there will be a
calendar shoot - but if you've noticed, there are 13
guys and 12 months. Someone is getting cut out of the
photo shoot. The guys will be going shopping, but
Ryan, assumes that it's Bryce (with his flabby body
and not up to date choreography) who will be leaving
and everyone should pack his bags for it.
The guys are all ready to go shopping on Rodeo Drive,
and they do a little dance/rap to celebrate. They are
going to a high fashion store...if they were going to
a Halloween party. Welcome to Glendale Costumes, and
the guys feel like they've just been served. The
assignment is to select something that defines
themselves. We see a variety of costumes, from animals
to a half-naked leprechaun costume, to...a
transvestite? The skimpiest selection was chosen by
Bryce, who with his flair, can't really afford to be
in a skimpy outfit. Ryan - 'Dude, are you just asking
to get eliminated or what?' Also asking to be
eliminated - Blake, who grabs a vampire outfit and
starts going after everyone in the store.
Someone is asking people to be eliminated, and that's
Sharon the choreographer. 'There are people there who
are wasting my time. This sounds bad, but I want them
gone. The sooner that Billy sends them home, the
easier it will be for me.' Sharon adds that the people
who did great on days 1 and 2 should be careful,
because other people are picking up their game.
Bryce says that he wants this as badly as everyone
else - even more so, because he's had to work harder
to get it. David, meanwhile, is still feeling homesick
- and it's only Day 9. How is he going to get to day
25?
It's night #9, and we see a montage of the guys
working out. Terry notes that he has burned out more
calories in his 8 minutes cycling than Bryce's 12
minutes running. Bryce says that he's going to get 6
pack abs, but the only was he's getting a 6 pack is if
he goes to the store and buys a package of Bud Light.
A frustrated David, who is still homesick, talks to
Billy, who says that he also has 2 kids, and it kills
him when he doesn't see them, but David has a golden
opportunity that he shouldn't throw away. David
decides that Billy is right, and he decides to stay on
the program. Billy also adds that he can always talk
to him, and they shake hands as they leave. David says
that he's sucking it up and doing it for the kids,
adding that he will focus and work really hard.
AwwwBarf.
After Ryan gets a rub down from Terry (Wha?), the guys
go over to the photo shoot. We get a montage of people
shooting and dressed in various costumes, including
Terry as a Pimp Daddy. After the montage, the guys
talk about the weight loss, and Ryan warns them that
it's not the weight, it's how their body looks like.
Bryce gets on the scale - and he's gained 3 pounds.
Oops. Ryan says that it doesn't matter, since he's
leaving, adding that Bryce is cheating on his diet.
Rick thinks that Bryce should be doing double the work
that everyone else is doing.
The athletic director asks Bryce what he's eating.
Bryce says that he had 3 fried and a lettuce wrap, but
the instructor sees right through him. Bryce adds that
he didn't work out, and that's annoying the guys. The
men continue to trash Bryce, as Terry says that Bryce
told him that he models. Wha? Ryan says that he would
be incredibly disappointed if Ryan wasn't eliminated.
Describing him as 'poop with legs', Ryan says that
lazy people who are arrogant annoy him. 'You're lazy,
you suck, and the attitude sucks. Get out.'
After another Sharon workout, Billy comes over to talk
to them. He tells them that there will not be a final
7, but a final 6. There will be 6 dancers and
strippers, and one emcee, who will be describing the
action. Billy adds that the emcee has to be full of
personality, and that gets Ryan miffed. He is thinking
the exact same thing that I am - this seems to be a
VERY easy out to get Bryce into the finals, although
he isn't working out and he isn't working as hard as
the rest of the guys. Could this be Billy's way of
covering up a flabby Bryce?
For this stunt, Billy gets all of the people up to do
some emceeing. Rick says that he can work it like a
pro, and he does. Ryan, Terry and Tony light it up,
while Bryce actually does a good job, adding that they
have nerdy businessmen. That seemed to be aimed right
at Sean, who didn't appreciate it.
The guys start talking, and they all agree that it's
going to be chummy once the people who they know are
going to leave. They all think that when it gets down
to 10, it's going to get ugly.
Speaking of ugly, Billy calls them all up to the
elimination procedures. Billy tells them all that the
exercise what to see what the guys thought was sexy.
Between that and the emcee stunt, someone is going
home. Billy has the pictures of the photo shoot, and
he will call them all up one at a time. The person who
he doesn't call up will be eliminated. The first one
up is...
Josh - He has a leather jacket James Dean thing going
on, and Billy likes it.
Sean - All dressed in white. Face staring right into
the camera.
Terry - The Grandmaster Pimp Ho makes it into the next
round
Adam - He's wearing chains and he has that Egyptian
thing going on.
Marco - He picked an Indian outfit, along with the
collar and the leather beige pants.
Chris - Billy liked the eyes and ho sultry they are,
He also liked the bandanna and the gang look.
Rick - Billy called him a sexy character which looks
like a gang member taking an aerobics class.
David - Billy loved the fact that his body is much
improved. He used a stick behind the back of his head
as a prop.
Brian - He picked a cowboy outfit. Billy thought that
he played it to the hilt.
Billy said he loved these 9 shots. The rest of them
started to concern him...
Ryan - Billy liked the shot. He didn't like the gun in
the pants and thinks that it sends the wrong idea.
Tony - Billy loves the look, but he also used the gun
- including a shot with a gun in his mouth. When
someone looks at the picture, they could be thinking
either 1. he has a depression issue or 2. he's playing
for the other team. Yikes.
That leaves 2 pictures left. Bryce the flabby one and
Blake the vampire boy. The person getting eliminated
is...
But wait! We have a commercial! To reserve tickets for
the show, go to
www.american-storm.com!
Bryce doesn't want to go home. No one else wants to
see Blake go home. The person who was selected was...
Bryce - Billy loved the head shot. The body shot was
horrific.
Blake - Billy saw him dressed up as a vampire, with
his mouth hanging out. 'What did you think you were
doing? The Rocky Horror Picture Show?' Blake shakes
his head in disbelief. The guys are all hanging their
head and coming over to talk to Blake. An angry Terry
says that everyone knows who should have left - Bryce.
'He was blessed with the chance to keep going, and he
shouldn't have been.' As for Blake? 'My goal is to
make the final 7. I'll worry about what everyone else
thinks when I make the final 7.'
Blake vents to Brian and Sean, who just nod but don't
say anything. Sean says that people stopped caring for
Bryce awhile ago and that maybe they need to get some
tough love going. The definition of tough love?
Pouring milk and coffee grounds on Bryce while he's
sleeping.
Bryce isn't going to take this lying down. Next Week -
He starts taking matters into his own hands and vows
revenge against the pretty boy alliance of Sean, Ryan
and Brian. Join us in 7 days to see if he survives the
next cut long enough to do anything about it. |
