Last time, we learned three things. First, we learned that Stephen Baldwin believes that God gave him divine right to baptize Senor Tool (or Spencer Pratt for all who haven't read Part 1, which you should!). Second, we learned that Heidi might have a screw loose for deciding to starve herself in the middle of a 100 degree humid jungle and had to be med-evacuated. And lastly, we learned that this show is very interesting.
Part 2: We're down to 8 celebrities competing in a challenge for individual immunity. Lou Diamond Phillips wins, and let's face it: he's the bookmakers favorite right now. And, he's immune (which, mind you, he didn't need!) for the second of hopefully 6 more public votes (because finales that have more than 3 contenders get messy. Unless you're Big Brother, in which 6 is okay, as long as you get rid of one a day.) And then, to my surprise, here comes ANOTHER Hills cast member, Holly, Heidi's HOPEFULLY less irritating sister. So, we have 10 contenders. I don't know how you're going to do this, NBC. You'll be down to 9 on Thursday and you have to get to 1 by next week. Great job!
Now, if you've been watching, in a food competition, one team wins and one team loses. The past 6, the men have won. But the women win. Twice. Everyone's happy. I'm not. I have my hand in a sundae. It still hurts.
Unfortunately, when one irritating person (or couple) leaves, another one must rise up. Janice Dickenson, the self proclaimed first supermodel, is now being lazy, useless, and frankly annoying. I definitely think the highlight is when Lou has to tell the other contenders "Do not urinate in camp." So, Janice is worse than Senora Tool because she doesn't know how to use the toilet. Which is scary.
I mean, let's face it. I think that some of the contenders like Senor Tool and Janice were cast just to cause drama. I'm shocked Janice is lazy since she was on the UK version (but she did 10 out of 21 trials). And let's face it, she doesn't have a huge chance, although she might make it to the final 4 or something like that.
The show is well, better than the first go around, but honestly, it's not terrible. Damien and Myleene do a good job hosting (although about 3 years off Ant&Dec), the contenders are somewhat normal, and the challenges are exciting.
Still, 5 more episodes of this and it's done. The only good news from this? 4 more weeks until Big Brother 11! Sweet! 2 attempts down, 2 more to go (I plan to do one on Tuesday about the last two shows and one on Friday. Whee!)
So, what did we learn?
1) Stephen Baldwin is okay once you get to realize he might not be divinely inspired.
2) I still hate Spencer Pratt. It's almost like In The Air Tonight, when you see Phil Collin's head on a black screen. Spencer's flesh colored beard is now burned into my mind.
3) Janice Dickinson needs to learn to go onto the newspaper or else she will not make many friends.
