Etiquette-pisscupis
Yes, that is what one girl thought she would be learning at Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School. She got the etiquette part right, that’s for sure. Thirteen girls from VH1’s Flavor of Love–a show that featured girls fighting (literally) over rapper Flava Flav –are sent to charm school to clean up their tainted images. And wow, do some of them need it. The girls will learn everything from making first impressions to having healthy relationships. And even if you only caught a few episodes of Flavor of Love, this show is good at recapping why these girls need to be there. The host of the show is comedian/actress Mo’Nique, who is assisted by two judges (aka “Deans”) who will help with the eliminations. The first order of business was to get rid of the girl’s nicknames. Mo’Nique burned each of their name tags and replaced it with a pin spelling their REAL name. Many of the girls seemed relieved to let go of the reputations asociated with their names but as soon as the girl’s were given their first challenge, the attitude came right back. They had to work as a team setting up a campsite as well as a a boot camp obstacle course. But Thela’s (aka Rain) constant whining and tears did not impress the Deans–and she was sent packing. But not only will at least one of these girls get their integrity back, she will also walk away with $50,000. And those who don’t take their classes seriously will be expelled!
It’s goin’ be zoppity
It’s Safety Training Day in The Office after Michael pulls a ladder out from under Darryl causing him to break his ankle. To prove to the warehouse guys that working in an office setting is just as dangerous, Michael threatens to jump off the roof into a giant inflatable castle. Luckily, they are able to talk him off the ledge by convincing him he is brave by being himself. Meanwhile, the rest of the workers become addicted to betting on everything from the number of jelly beans in a jar to how many minutes it takes for Kelly to explain the process of Netflix to Ryan. Also, Andy returns to the office after several weeks of anger management classes. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy to have him back. Dwight has shunned him for three years. Shun, Un-shun.
Hot pants
Say goodbye to Haley’s legs, Simon! Those little shorts and hoochie-mamma dance moves couldn’t save Haley this week. She was the next American Idol wannabe voted off the competition Wednesday night. The contestants chose songs from the Latin genre while being coached by Music Mentor Jennifer Lopez. Simon finally got a chance to say something bad to Melinda after her less than stellar performance. However, he did manage to say something positive to Sanjaya! It’s probably the first and last time but hey, it counts. Poor Phil Stacey looks like he knows the end is near every time Ryan calls him to the center of the stage. This was his third time being in the bottom three. Joining him (and Haley of course) was Chris Richardson. Martina McBride is next weeks Music Mentor–which means the contestants will have to put on their best country ‘twang. Yee-haw y’all!
Operation: Soulmate
The second week of The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman managed to be cattier than the first–if that’s even possible. Most of the girls are having trouble with Andy dating different women. On the first group date, half of the girls take a ride down the Sunset Strip for some sightseeing. To find out which girls are “up for anything,” the bus stops at a country-western bar that just so happens to have a mechanical bull. Andy is in heaven. After each girl takes a ride, they are shuttled to a hotel room where they get to pick out an evening dress and meet Andy on the rooftop. Add some cocktails, a nice view and a Jacuzzi and off come the dresses. But leave it to ABC to have some bikini’s laying around. The second group date didn’t have it so easy. They had to take part in a mini triathlon. The Barbie twins didn’t want to get their hair wet so they walked the swimming part of the competition. Andy was not impressed. They, on the other hand, thought it was cute. Since, Stephanie got the first impression rose last week, she got to have her very own date with Andy aboard his yacht (or ABC’s yacht?) And of course they did the whole Titanic bit–“Look Andy! I’m flying!” Ugh. On elimination night, the girls had one last chance to dazzle Andy with their charm. Ken–I mean Andy–sat down between The Barbie Twins only to listen as they complimented each other on a job well done at the triathlon. All Andy could do was chug his drink. The rose ceremony made me question his mental stability when he actually gave a rose to one of The Twins. What was he thinking? Whatever. NO ONE could love him like I can!
Trailer lovin’
On Tori and Dean: Inn Love, the happy couple tries to save a few bucks by remodeling their new Bed and Breakfast themselves. Since the previous owner had an obsession with floral prints, Tori and Dean decide to sell everything in the place to help pay for the redecorating costs. While the renovations are taking place, the couple moves into a trailer on their property. Bear in mind, this is the same Tori Spelling who’s late father–Aaron (may he rest in peace)–was worth MILLIONS. Needless to say, she’s not handling this very well. After five minutes of painting, they realize they bit off more than they could chew, and bring in the experts to finish the job. Once that is taken care of, the couple crashes a Lamaze class in town and we learn what position it took to create their son. It was “The Spoon,” for those of you who were wondering. Mom and Dad, I don’t know what that means.
Family reunion
On Lost, Jack returns to the beach after The Others abandoned him. Karma’s a nasty bitch, isn’t it Jack?

She’s under “his protection.” Meanwhile, Claire comes down with a mysterious illness and guess who steps in to save her. You guessed it — Juliet. She knows exactly what’s wrong with Claire because she’s the one who made her sick. But she’s also the one who can save her. Read Hollywood.com’s Lost recap to see if Claire survives the ordeal.
Fast Forward
On The Office, there’s a crisis at Dunder-Mifflin and Michael has to talk with the media. You know that’s going to be interesting. On Lost, Sun worries about her health and the well-being of her child after Juliet tells her that all of the pregnant women she knew on the island died before giving birth. Then explain how Claire is still alive? Also, October Road returns Thursday night with Sam clinging to his life. Will he survive?
