"Summaries"

Posted by AyaK on 07-24-03 at 07:54 PM
With all of you who are watching this show, I can't believe that no one has written a summary of any of the episodes yet. So ... who would like to pick up the ball and run with it?

Yes we all watch this horrible show (perhaps the worst of reality t.v. to date) even if we all try not to admit it , but I can't bring myself to watching it over and over to write a summary. I may find myself running to the bathroom to puke if I had to do that....good luck finding someone who can stomach watching the episode over and over to be able to write something after.

I'll do a summary oh turbaned one, but do you want us to write a summary for the week or for one episode?

How are they doing it on big brother this season?

Let me know which episode or week, and I'll do it.


"Weekly for BB"

BB is a weekly summary this year. But you can do whatever you want for PH.

I just want to get this moving -- and I can't believe that, out of all the PH readers out there, we don't have one or two people who want to make fun of these people!

Dude, it requires admitting publically that you're watching. But, I'm not big on dignity.

I think everyone does, just not to the point where it takes work, effort, thought or becomes an inconvenience.

If you're expecting a kick in the balls, but you get a slap in the face, its a victory.

You know me, I would love to do one. However, on Wednesdays, I flip between this and BB. My VCR broke so I can't tape. I would be happy to do a Monday or Tuesday episode though.

*Rubs hands together~waiting to summarize Toni since 2001*

Hey, Trish, I'll split a week with you. I'll summarize the Wednesday episode; you do the other one.

OK, so we have Lisapooh and T+me -- that makes two weeks. Is anyone ready to start this week?

we all know there's only one person who should be summarizing this crap, but we also know that that person has a bit of a checkered past when it comes to commitment.

But, I'll take a stab at this week's episodes and see where it goes from there.

I guess in a karma filled world this is my punishment/purgatory for not finishing up the LC summaries two years ago.

I'm withy weltek...I'm sure whatever Shakes has to write will be better than watching the drivel that is that show. I cant stand myself for watching it...lol. And now they've extended it...I'll have no self-respect for myself by the time it's over.

btw...can someone tell me how everyone makes their signiture icons. They're neat but I'm not that gifted..at least that what my teachers always told me..lol.

People used to post on this thread to beg for one of the talented graphics peeps here to make an icon for them -- especially if they had a picture in mind. But I don't know what's being done right now...

I’m drooling all over myself in anticipation of the forthcoming wrath soon to be bestowed upon the psychobitch from the windy city. The only thing better would be to see it happen live or on tape.

What key is the parody in?


"RE: Summaries"
Posted by LadyT on 07-29-03 at 10:31 PM
I think it's just me, but the first few bars of the theme music remind me of the theme song to Beverly Hills 90210

Posted by weltek on 07-30-03 at 10:25 AM
Ha, Trish, I agree! If I'm walking by the tv when it comes on, I always think, "what, 90210 is on???"


-Donna and Toni DO have the same eyes....


"RE: Summaries"
Posted by infinitesurvivor on 07-30-03 at 11:27 PM
Where's the summaries? Probably, its' merits may be forthcoming? The potential is there, if twisted accordingly. The driving force is, the newcumber votes off. Maybe, the more original players, have become distraught of reality?

"This week"
Posted by AyaK on 08-11-03 at 10:26 AM
Well, while we wait for shakes' take on Toni's demise, I just want to confirm who is writing this week's summaries. LadyT? Lisapooh? Or me (but I can't do tonight's show)?

"RE: This week"
Posted by Lisapooh on 08-11-03 at 03:07 PM
I'm kidless right now, so I'd rather do this week's episodes. if that's OK with T.

"Sounds good from here"
Posted by AyaK on 08-11-03 at 03:59 PM
That's fine with me, Lisapooh. I'm not sure that T can do a Wednesday episode anyway (which is why last week was perfect for her before someone clowned with us )...

"Summaries for 9/8 and 9/10 - HERE THEY ARE"
Posted by Angelfood on 09-12-03 at 12:50 PM
Episode Summaries 9/8 and 9/10

OK. I see that there hasn't been one in a while, So I went ahead and DID IT! Yes, I'm a newbie, and I know this won’t hold up to the standard of previous hysterically-funny ones from Shakes & co. But I figured it would maybe help for people that missed a show, at least until some of your regulars return. So, please be gentle, it’s my “first time”, and most likely I’ll improve with experience. (Lemme know if I should continue next week, or not quit my day job - oh, wait, I don't have one.)

9/8 Two Old Guests

We start the show with a recap of the previous cluster-bash from the Embittered Rejects. Then I have the pleasure once again to see Keith, the lesser god of Wisdom, recite his already classic line: “What do I think about Zack’s ineligibility? I kicked him off again.”

So, Zack and Andon plot to trick Team Barbie into voting for him, so he can bring them down.
Zack then uses a brain cel to try to figure out how he actually Threatened Keith when he was looking at the wall, but doesn't see it, and sticks his head in the sand, like a good emu. Zack and Amy do some pillow talk, where they profess their love and both admit that it’s the most stable relationship they’ve ever had. Zowie!
BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT: “I won’t give out my # to 4 people here, I don’t wanna hear from them.” (To be edited when I see my tape).
Goto any msg bd for lots of digs on this one. OH NO, Charla’s gonna cry when she sees the tape and loses all hope of hooking up with Zack. Later, he gives a lame-o speech about his people, the Italians and Scots, and compares himself to Braveheart, which starts 5000 mad responses on msgbds everywhere. This is one of the most offensive and ridiculous brain-farts ever. We now see what Zack tells himself every morning to convince himself that he and his abs are almighty.

Toni yells at Tara, but then backs down like the Hulkster she is, when Tara won’t play that game.
Charla, Kavita and Tara talk in C’s bedroom a lot. Dave mopes in his room a lot.
We don’t see Matt: Rumor has it that he asks to not be voted back on the show.
Andon starts his baloney on Charla and Tara. They seem to fall for it, or maybe they are just being nice.
Melanie tries to apologize for the others bad behavior. It’s probably baloney also.
Melanie has a talk with Holly, so she won’t be jealous, and Mel will get voted on. VERY STRATEGICALLY playing the game.
Holly cries to Scott for being alone in her room for 2 days, sans Dave’s visit. Scott was busy catching up with old buddies.
Zack argues with Dave and brags about being great cuz somebody loves him. He makes a somewhat-apologetic goodbye speech, that no one believes he wrote himself. No one cares.

Vote-on:
Holly is the deciding vote for both. And its Beau and Melanie.
Good thing Barbie’s votes for Andon didn’t win out. Sometimes, things happen for the best. Cant wait for the Melanie-a-trois cat fights that will inevitably happen.
Oh yeah, Toni got no votes. YEAH!

9/10 Lamy’s Abrasion

Melanie starts us off, making all buddy-buddy with Desperatee and claiming that she doesn’t have to be nice to Dave & Co. since they didn’t vote for her. I guess that would bother her conscious or somethin.

Then the roommate selection: Hollow and Scott-the-Robot, Charla & Dave (her best friend), Bo-Zo and Lamy (his best friend’s girl – haha), Melanie picks SuperKeith to help oust Barbies (someone’s honest on this show) and Tommy Boy chooses Tara over Desperatee, hoping the single girl will have more vote-off power. Tara probably can’t wait to get hit on by Smokey again.

Bo-zo actually spends some time this ep talking about how to get rid of Team Barbie (sometimes Dave is included, some not) and does some lame machine gun gestures. Wow, You’re in the Army Now, BoZo.
Desperatee gets in a Toni-style yelling match with Dave (well, someone has to be Toni now that Lamy’s given up, I guess.) There is a jungle party, where the guests make outfits out of zebra, tiger or snake print. Charla & Dave choose Snake, since that’s what the others assume they are. Charla goes to bed early, and on her way out overhears Lamy boo-hooing that Charla stayed over Melanie. (YEAH, Charla should have given YOU the boot instead of Mel ! Wouldn’t life be bettter, then?)

Lamy is in the pool with BoZo, standing on his shoulders, and dives in head-first. Next scene: Lamy sitting down with ice pack on her head, stating “its only an abrasion”. Yeah, this time. Many of you are wondering why Lamy acts like an abused puppy where her Man is concerned: obviously, this is not the first head injury for Lamy, which explains a lot, huh?

** I see that Shakes has surmised that Scott the Robot is most likely gay. I can see that. But having gay-dar myself, I’d like to expose another – Beau. Just my opinion, but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…esp. the talking part. And he was WAY too upset at losing Alex as a friend and had so many arguments about their “relationship/ friendship”, I could swear they were a couple. Beau’s next tv gig will be Boy Meets Boy 2. (just a guess). **

Then there is a lame boat trip for Team Originals (minus Mel) where they talk about Team Barbie and Desperatee is Shocked to hear that Dave really is in love with Charla. REALLY? Yes, really. Really? Yes, girl, what parta dat don’t u understand? And it must be Charla really putting one over on poor naïve Dave and using him. Yeah, except that Dave actually thinks for himself unlike y’all. ON the bright side, there is some good bedtime fighting with Scott and Hollow, where we actually get to hear how he feels for the first time in the game and he makes an ARSE of himself by saying hurtful insensitive things to her about how bad she flirts and he doesn’t, how nothing that happens there means anything cuz it’s all the game, and how it won’t affect his life after the game. Or somesuch. ON the brighter side, Charla and Dave have a nice talk about her inaffection with him, she explains that she didn’t know him well in the beginning and they have a nice hug (if ONLY there was more….)

Pandora’s Box is announced. The Bitter Team goes about speculating questions, none of which they apparently have the guts to actually submit. The promos made it look like Hollow-Holly was actually asking this of Tara, we should’ve known better: “How could you hook up with Alex and vote him off the next night? I would never do that!” Will Princess Tara please explain to the others:… that she had an alliance with Keith, so therefore anyone up against him would be gone; and that she has no reason to protect someone who never promised to have her back and would have gladly voted her off; and who should have gone instead, Scott or Tom? Make Lamy answer that one, again.
PB: Scott is forced to choose Holly over Mel. Holly claims not to be jealous of Scott and Mel. Tara says that she is happy Beau is back, although he is a little bitter (he looks shocked and laughs about it). Amy answers the “rumor” that Tara is jealous by saying that Amy has accomplished so much more than Tara. BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT: Offscreen Tara says, “like what? We’re both on reality tv.”

I also don’t understand why both Teams are assuming that Desperatee will have the power to eliminate someone. It would only happen if her choice is unavailable for the remaining women, which has only happened twice, I think. Given the announcement of a New Twist, I doubt it.

Then, at the end of the episode, us faithful were expecting another vote off, when the Hostess-with-no-conscious (what is it with stuffy, emotionless, no-dignity British hostesses?) announces that the vote-off will be next week. On the bright side, I don’t have to worry about it for 5 days.

Nice summary. You could have put it in its own thread. It truly deserves its own spot!

has never written and summary!

Posted by Angelfood on 09-12-03 at 03:19 PM
Thank you so much gals!
I was afraid to start a thread without someone's ok, esp. since I don't know if someone is currently working on a summary or if anyone was still asking for one, it was hard to tell from the summary thread since it was old.
I was hoping AyaK would let me know (i sent an inbox msg), but if I hear from another regular or you say i should now, i'll definitely start a new thread with it.
luvs,
Angelfood

OMG. I thought your other posts were funny, but this takes the cake. That pic is incentive alone for me to do another one today. Although I can't exactly tell what the white hands are doin - maybe better that I not know.

thanx, glad to be of service.

Hi, I just thought that i would let you know that the hostess for PH (Amanda Byram)is not British, I guess its like when people might assume you are american when your canadian or that your australian rather than from new zealand. As for no-dignity? She was the only one with dignity. I guess when your american you cant tell the difference between other accents outside of the US.

Posted by Bebo on 05-20-04 at 09:26 AM
At least Americans can read the guidelines, which clearly state that bashing other posters is not permitting on these forums.

"RE: Warning"
Posted by 99807963 on 05-20-04 at 10:41 AM
nobody is bashing anything, im just correcting an error and excusing it.

"RE: Warning"
Posted by Bebo on 05-20-04 at 12:58 PM
Stating the hostess's correct nationality is not the problem. It was your blanket statement about Americans that came across as an insult to the original poster.

And if you wish to discuss this further, please send me a private message or email - this doesn't need to continue on the forum.
