"Jim's bed"

What was up with Jim's bed??? Maybe this is just me...but if I knew that my apartment was going to be shown on national TV, I would at least have put some blankets on the bed. It was shown breifly before the dog and the kennel, but it appeared the bed was just the box spring and mattress with no sheets OR blankets....am I incorrect? LOL

I thought the same thing! Even if he didn't own any sheets, go out and buy some, cheapskate!! Not only are you on TV, but you're supposed to be trying to impress Larissa! I can understand maybe not having a blanket or comforter- he lives in Arizona, maybe he doesn't have A/C? But I thought that was just gross.

Jim's whole apartment creeped me out. What a turn off! The uncovered bed, the blow up doll, the picture of him on the wall (was that taken at Chili's), then he doesn't read and hasn't read???!!!! Yikes I knew she would reject him. Larissa might like and want looks, but I think the girl wants a guy with a brain! He was like a pretty vase, nice to look at but empty inside.

Even without an A/C you still use fitted sheets in the desert. He didn't have sheets on his bed because he was a lazy bum. He admittedly has roommates so he probably couldn't get them to keep the place cleaned up but that's really no excuse for his bedroom. It was obvious someone was around to pick up as the dog was kenneled in his room.

As an aside... I've seen the inside of that kind of apartment and it's NOT big enough to hold a dog that size. It's no wonder the dog was always pulling at the leash! He may not bark so the neighbors don't complain about him but a dog that size needs a yard to run in and a house. Not a two-bedroom economy apartment.

Anyway. Yeah. Even if he routinely doesn't sleep with sheets on his bed, it wouldn't have hurt him to put one on, knowing she was coming over. Maybe on his Chili's salary he can't afford a blanket that doesn't look like he got it at the 99 cent store? My bet's that he realized at the last minute that his sheets were still dirty from the last date he brought home and just ripped 'em off and stuffed them in the hamper, in case he 'got lucky' with Larissa.

Well, Jim is not the smartest guy around so maybe he didn't think it through and make his apartment more presentable for Larissa to visit.

Why should she bounce him? Let me count the ways:

1. An apartment with no personality at all
2. The stripped "serial killer" bed motif
3. Crating a dog that size in your bedroom
4. "What's a book?"

And let's not forget the charming blow-up doll.

Not just the bed!!! The whole place was a dump. You could at least do the minimum and put the blowup doll away, for heaven's sake. What really appalled me was the dog. He claimed to love his dog so much, but it was kenneled in such a small space and obviously not bathed or brushed regularly since Larissa said the dog smelled and was shedding badly. That's just stupid, lazy, cruel, or all three.

I agree... really, what was up with the lack of sheets -- on second thought, I don't wanna know...

I seem to recall that it was Jim that took off his shirt in the himbo previews and proclaimed "now they are going to have to compete with this". Or some such thing.

I have to award Jim my "BIGGEST LOSER" award for AJ2.
