So either Megan's decided that a jury will play no part in this game, she's realized she can't win no matter what happens and it's all about how many people she can offend along the way, or -- she has learned exactly nothing. (Two out of three is an option.) Has the woman ever had an emotion she didn't plan out in advance for her own benefit? 'Did I forget to mention that I called Brandi M. trailer trash before anything happened? Good.' Well, at least this isn't MTV, or she'd really be around forever...

It feels like Lacey's decided she can't win -- so she'll just get her satisfaction from making other people lose. Get rid of Dallas! Get rid of the Brandis! Get rid of everyone except herself and then wait for Sharon to call forfeit! And just when you think she's completely one-dimensional and there's nothing there except Bart Simpson with a sex change and dye job -- she darts up on stage so she can play along with one of her rock icons, seizing the moment and enjoying something a lot of fans could just barely dream of. There's more than a harridan in training here -- but not very much.

Inna's starting to come out from under the edit radar, but just as a confessional complainer. No one's figured out how to position the Ukrainian Love Tank for challenges: as the strongest female there, she should have been in more of a throwing position for the sandbags and hauling just about everything on the stage. (We've never gotten a crossover going in to EPMB -- but I'd still be curious to see her on Survivor.) As such, she's got a lot to complain about. This won't change any time soon.

We still have a few invisibles in the group: Bobbi Jo is barely there -- not a bad thing -- and Destiney's just barely getting words in. Right now, our central storylines are the Lacey-Dallas conflict and Megan Vs. Absolutely Everybody. Good luck picking a winner from that editing.

And really, it's too bad about losing Angelique. I almost understood her this time.

Megan is starting to remind me of the original description for Connie: 'trophy wife, needs some polishing.'
