Daddy!
We resume as the girls are returning from judging. Lina reports that James Gunn told her she needed an attitude adjustment. Tanedra concurs.
Lina may need an adjustment, but when it comes to making good TV, Tanedra’s focused and completely tuned in. No adjustment necessary.
Marissa, who was called out for being contrived and timid, is ready to prove the judges wrong. Hopefully to achieve this, she will employ the use of conviction and a hacksaw.
The girls are shipped to Lacy Street studios, a place near and dear to Shawnee’s blackened heart as she shot the iconic jaw-trap scene from the first Saw there.
You never forget the place where your head was nearly made into Pac-Man, you know?
Today’s challenge is all about stunts, and so the help of these two has been called upon:
They begin practicing for today’s challenge, which will require them to jump off a building.
Some girls fret, but overall, this seems like a hell of a lot of fun. In addition to making out with hot dudes and getting to be painted in latex, being a scream queen apparently has yet another perk: getting to play around on a Moonwalk.
It all leads to the girls going to a window-less room a few stories up to film the challenge. The scene is simple: the girl is being chased by a homicidal maniac. She happens upon a window and decides to jump. The moment of decision must be clear on the actress’ face in order for her to excel at this challenge.
And so, the girls go, one-by-one.
Lina’s performance gets praised by Shawnee for being her “sexiest” ever. Girl, you such a hot faller.
Finally, there is Jessica, who interviewed earlier that she has no fear of heights and is totally into this challenge. Apparently, her lack of fear of heights is just in theory because once she’s actually faced with them…
…she falls apart.
She flips the script and flips out, shouting to the pretend maniac to, “Just f***ing kill me!” Wait’ll you see the hysterics she conjures up when faced with a ball crawl!
In the end, Jessica doesn’t end up jumping, but she’s pleased with her performance. That’s the important part. Whatever you say, girl who’s jumpy yet not jumpy enough.
Tanedra wins the challenge because, hello? She’s amazing.
For mostly doing well, the girls are rewarded with a night on the town. This will be a chance for them to unwind, and more importantly, to show more gratuitously suggestive skin.
Thanks show for holding it down until the next season of Rock of Love!
The girls convene and proceed to get all kinds of messy.
After double-fisting drinks, Sarah builds up the confidence to critique Michelle. It’s under the guise of I-know-you-can-do-better, but it comes off condescending. And you know Michelle is just dying to go High Tension on a bitch. Michelle interviews, “Excuse me Sarah, if you want to pop an attitude, you’re poppin’ it with the wrong girl.” The phrase “pop an attitude” makes getting huffy sound so naughty! Loves it! Sarah cries because she feels misunderstood.
She doesn’t like that she has to walk on eggshells. You might have to barefoot if you win this thing, Sarah. Who knows what not-Jigsaw has in store for you for Saw VI.
Though Michelle seems way down with the lingo, she apparently doesn’t understand what Tanedra means by this. Lina steps in to blur the line between helpful and hateful.
Does anyone even say “ebonics” anymore? Tanedra doesn’t appreciate Lina’s decision to take it into racial territory. Lina responds via interview by saying that Tanedra’s upset because she’s the “token black girl.” You’re only a token if you suck, and Tanedra’s kicking everyone’s ass. Perhaps as another minority herself, Lina’s purely projecting? That’s usually the source of poorly reasoned ire, especially on the Internet and reality TV. And since this is reality TV as described on the Internet…yeah. We’re gonna go with projecting.
The night has all gone to hell, and wasn’t nearly the blow-off that the girls expected. Also, they are extremely faded. Here’s a brief summary of the degree to which they are faded:
Jessica and Sarah eventually get into an argument about the amount of alcohol that was drank. Sarah says, “I’m sorry if I weigh, like, 50 lbs., less than you.” Even her sometime adversary Michelle knows that this is a good one:
In the grand reality TV tradition of out-a**h**ing someone who’s just done you wrong (and everyone else on this a**h***ing fest of an episode, for that matter), Jessica bites back with, “Do you realize how ugly you are and how Jewish you look?” How nice. It’s been so long since I’ve seen actual antisemitism on TV. It seems almost creative!
It’s really so gross and terrible to equate ugliness and any nationality. Is Jessica unaware that she’s in a town run by Jews? Saying something like that this early in your career is like gouging your spleen out before Jigsaw can even pop up on the screen to explain how you’re going to struggle in vain for the next minute or so before your spleen is ripped from your body.
Adding insult to injury?
The bus breaks down. Actually, it doesn’t. It’s a game. Like everything! Billy the Puppet pops up in the bus window…
…and Shawnee hops on.
Shawnee drops off some scripts and lets them know that their next challenge will involve stunt fighting for the camera. Lindsay enthuses about the script, which gets a big shush from Jessica.
Oh Jessica, always cleansing something. The noise around you. Ethnicities. What’s next? Your hair?
The next day’s Homa teach involves some play fighting. Remarkable is Jessica’s psychosis…
Not saying that it’s new. It’s just remarkable every time. Michelle, meanwhile, gets her catharsis on…
…as does Lina, who gets some real shots in on her improbable partner, Tanedra.
When they switch, Lina says, “Bring it on, sistah.” God, these girls could possibly be the most mean-spirited contestants in VH1 history. I mean, prolonged racialism? Get an H.B.I.C. in here like New York and she’d straighten out their asses real quick. Tanedra considers kicking Lina’s ass, but in the end…
…she just does a great job at pretending to do so. And, really, that’s gotta be almost as rewarding given the circumstances.
Director Challenge! The scene the girls need to act out goes like this: they wake up on a glass-covered floor. They think they’re going to die and then a madman approaches them and they know they’re going to die. But not really, because they have to end up kicking the madman’s ass. James Gunn directs them to show the transition of emotions — from fear to anger to courage.
They get some bloody makeup put on, which makes them look like “crackwhores,” according to Lina. In case you didn’t get the racial implications, she adds, “…in Inglewood.” She’s really helpful, that Lina.
The scene begins. Highlights include:
Marissa gets called “lost” by Gunn. It’s probably too late to buy a compass at this point.
Michelle looks like she’s taking a “power-dump” according to Angela. As satisfying as that sounds, it’s infinitely more entertaining to those watching.
Michelle bops back all confident, thinking she did a great job in her over-the-top reading of that scene. She’s dismayed to find that her performance was taken as a joke.
Oh well, at least she can telegraph “crestfallen” effectively.
Lina takes direction extremely well.
And Sarah eats glass…
…and otherwise fails to bring it.
In the end…
Lina, Marissa, Jessica, Sarah and Michelle make the list. Though Sarah didn’t bring it and is often overwhelmed by her emotions, she’s staying thanks to her good work on the window challenge. Lina’s effortless sexiness and easiness to direct gets her the Leading Lady title for this week. Yay for boosted a boosted sense of superiority! Jessica acted crazy, but to the point of being unwatchable. To this she asks, “Unwatchable how?” Uh, like in the way that you can’t watch you?
But Jessica is safe, meaning the Bottom 2 is Marissa and Michelle. Marissa may be too theatrical for movies. She’s taking a major beating, but Shawnee says sadistically, “The beatings are good for you.” So are the jaw-traps. Michelle is the most disappointing. She attempts to explain that her difficulty in delivering comes from having a really great life. That’s nothing a little kidnapping from a dude in a pig mask can’t fix! In the end, it is Marissa who goes because she couldn’t get out of her own head.
But now that she has an ax through it, it should make the task infinitely easier.

Lina and Jessica are racists they need to be disqualified saying those things.
damn…the girls got really nasty tonight. the only ones left that are completely likeable are lindsay and tanedra.
i won’t completely stop cheering for jessica and sarah, though, because i think what they spoke was fueled by alcohol and that they didn’t really mean what they said…you can tell from the pictures above they were both more than a little drunk. however, lina is hella nasty, because, in the morning light, all of the other girls seemed to have changed their ways, whereas she was still being gross to tanedra. i think she’s homophobic also, as it seems she is disgusted by potentially kissing angela in a scene next week…so she needs to just go home. prejudiced, homophobic jerk=shouldn’t win anything.
isn’t the host lady that stupid ditzfrom Becker? I have a hard time believing her as a good actress or a badass after that crap performman. This show is lame all these girls suck.
I didn’t like Jessica from day one and the shushing Lindsay was uncalled for and so was the snap at Sarah for being an Ugly Jew. I actually think Sarah is very pretty compared to Jessica so she has no room to talk about who’s ugly and who’s not.
Tanedra doesn’t have to worry about Lina anyway she’s a much better actress then Lina and will at least go farther in this show if not win it.
Lina is a ~%&#$@~)#!(%$!&@( and Jessica is f—ing hideous.
I am rooting for Tanedra. Sarah is okay, too, I guess.
TANEDRA IS GOING TO WIN!! Thats my girl. She’s the only real one there who actually has alot of talent. especially with no training. Her, and maybe the “ex-girl next door looking one”… everyone else is just there for ratings.. lol
IT SHULD HAVE BEEN THAT “THNK SHE PRETTY ^$&)$(%%*&^)##$^( WHO WENT HOME TONIGHT.” AND LINA WAS MY NEST CHOICE, SHE IS SO MAD THAT TANGELA IS DOING BETTER THAN SHE WILL EVER DO ….
Lina….get a grip, before someone calls you out for being the “token asian girl”…its sooo sad, she’s just hating cuz the Black girl is doing the damn thing!!!!!! Jessica…that’s some real ^~+%&$&#*(*_%~#_ ed up )_!!~_+~#*~%(%%) if Sarah ^~+%&$&#*(*_%~#_ ed you up on that bus, I woudn’t have been surprised…you’re a total loser!
Lina….get a grip, before someone calls you out for being the “token asian girl”…its sooo sad, she’s just hating cuz the Black girl is doing the damn thing!!!!!! Jessica…that’s some real ($&__*(!(!#_(`#` ed up *`~`^$_^$_&!%_!! if Sarah ($&__*(!(!#_(`#` ed you up on that bus, I woudn’t have been surprised…you’re a total loser!
Amazing, that in today’s America we have made history by electing the 1st African American president & we still have two blatent racists on reality tv. Tanedra is a wonderful, raw talent. Can she help that? No!!!! She’s great, & is kicking a** on this show. Lina’s jealous, & Jessica…what to say about Jessica. What the f&%@ is up with this girl? If her acting was better, she could have a horror movie of her own, but she’d obviously be the psycho instead of the victim. Way to go Lindsey for stepping up to the plate. Sarah, sweetie, don’t let them see your heart on your sleeve. Being vulnerable in a scene is great, but most of the other girls will tear you apart if they see an opening. Don’t give it to them.
i’m not going to jump all over lina and jessica, as tv editing makes people look terrible at times, and all of the other girls (esp. lindsay, who seems more and more wonderful with each episode and each post of hers i read) seem to like them and feel they were misportrayed in this episode. besides, everyone (except tanedra, according to the l-source) was really drunk, so i’m sure no one really meant what was said, and/or it was taken out of context.
that being said, lina was eliminated tonight for having a diva attitude, so maybe the portrayal’s not as far from reality as her friends would like to think. as for jessica…i actually feel kinda bad for her. they put up an extra clip of her laying in her bed and crying because she’s been typecast as the “crazy” girl, and it seems that only tanedra (who is spending time with her in the clip) and lindsay (who meets with her weekly now in nyc to watch the episodes) made any effort to be nice to her at all during the filming of the show…at least, for these first few episodes. we only see a little bit of who these girls really are, so we shouldn’t judge them that harshly…let’s just wait and see what happens!
my pick for the (hopeful) win is either lindsay or tanedra. both are such sweet, talented, endearing people. i’d also be happy if either sarah or jessica win, as i feel a little sorry for both of them…they seem like sensitive people who just get upset easily and say things they don’t mean. angela is beginning to grow on me, because she seems like a nice enough girl when michelle is not around. michelle is the only one i’d rather not have win…she may be being edited badly, of course, but she just can’t seem to realize anything she does wrong. and, honestly, saying sarah is “as ugly as s**t” is about as bad as anything lina or jessica said in their drunkenness…and that was said sober, and the phrase didn’t seem edited together.
i lyke jessica SHES SO FUNNY!! & OSSOME<333 seriously.. lina is okay buh she hav a stink attitude.. i LYKE MICHELLE ;] & TANEDRA :D & OTHER GURLS<33 welz overeall the show is good :)

I like when you talk about this type of stuff in your posts. Perhaps could you continue to do this?
Initial, let’s kill off a genuine fabrication: You be capable of not consume a undo cell phone number lookup in support of certain offered anywhere, anytime.
Seeing as the google evolves these cell phone search services be the owner of become inexpensive as soon as exhaust, manifold services these days assent to pro discounts for unlimited searches. By paying a nominal rate used for this type of service has allowed individuals so when have peace of mind around the world.
By means of the invalidate telephone directories is too a effortless, supportive road that stop unsolicited calls reminiscent of persons beginning telemarketing companies by new finding the caller’s number, calling as well as demanding with the aim of your number be removed on or after their calling list.
