The Springer Hustle—

This week, Selina has to produce a pay-per-view special of the Jerry Springer Show, so of course that means midgets and strippers and total chaos.

Richard calls Selina into his office to tell her she’s the sole producer for the pay-per-view and she seems a bit scared. He does tell her that her January one was the best show they ever did and she needs to up the ante. She’s also a bit stressed because she just found out she’s pregnant and doesn’t know how to balance the personal and professional issues.

Selina and the associate producers are trying to put together a Mardi Gras crazy circus side show. They want some fat girls to fight naked in a pile of food. There is talk of lots of transsexuals and people sleeping with their cousins. Renee the A.P. is looking for people who look good as well as are crazy and that’s hard to find.

Selina goes off to find props and costumes and finds some things for midgets. Meanwhile, the A.P.s find a woman called “Boobzilla” who lifts midgets with her breasts. Rachelle is impressed with the fat girls fighting segment. Unfortunately, two of the fat girls don’t get on the plane and there is only one person for that story. Selina is ticked off and is ready to ring the girl’s neck for lying to her about the story and tells Renee to get those other girls there or send the one home and book a new act.

Rachelle gets on Selina’s back about the story falling through and Selina makes a decision to get rid of that story immediately. She now has to find a new segment in 5 hours before taping. Renee gets on the phone immediately and starts pulling together a show. They find some strippers that are going to fight over a man…naked of course.

Selina talks about being pregnant and how tired she is, but she doesn’t want anyone to know that she’s not on top of her game. She briefs the staff and interns on what costumes the guests are supposed to wear. There apparently will be a midget in the cake that will jump out at the end of the show. She kicks into “show mode” and starts greeting guests, including a transsexual pole dancer. She gets the strippers riled up and gives Boobzilla a hug. She tells Rachelle she’s a bit disappointed in the size of Boobzilla’s boobs.

The midgets show up and the associate producers are supposed to dress them. One costume doesn’t fit one of them, so the A.P. decides to switch outfits for the midgets. This sets Selina off because the costumes were specific to the jobs the midgets were to do on the show. She loses it and starts freaking out about the costume switch.

It’s an hour to show time and things are going really slowly. Selina starts going off on the staff and tells them to go faster. Rehearsal went roughly and the audience starts filing in. A six piece band kicks off the show and the transsexual pole girl makes Richard smile. The strippers fight and ripped their clothes off. Selina was extremely pleased with the first segment. Boobzilla also pulled through with a great part of the show. Then they find out that the cake the midget is supposed to jump out of doesn’t have a door for him to get out. The audience rips the cake apart and the midget gets out just fine and the show went off without a hitch. The show ended with a big parade with everyone marching through the studio to the parking lot. Richard tells Selina it was fabulous and he’s smiling, which doesn’t happen often. Selina decides to go sleep.

Next week, Annette’s show turns out horribly and Richard isn’t pleased.

Celebrity Fit Club—

Last week, Dustin’s porn tape talk wasn’t exciting the other contestants and the war continues with everyone vs. Dustin. This week, Dustin’s mouth is still running and they reveal all of his comments to the others. Will Dustin quit? We get to find out right now!

It’s time for the third fit camp, which consists of kayak racing. The women get a head start based on Olympic kayaking times between men and women. Maureen is so excited to hear the prize is a trip to Hawaii. Both teams practice and much screeching ensues. Warren is scared and Dustin talks smack about Kimberley. Warren vs. Maureen is the first race and Warren says if he loses to a fifty year old woman, he’s going to kick his own ass. Maureen misses the flag, though, and Warren wins. Next up is Tiffany and Ross. Tiffany couldn’t get around the flag, either, so Ross easily wins for the guys. Now, it’s Kimberley and Dustin. Midway through the race, they were neck and neck but then Kimberley pulled away from Dustin and won the race. Of course, Dustin is a sore loser and says she should eat some cake and Ho Hos to celebrate. Cledus and Da Brat were neck and neck, but Brat picked it up and beat him. The tie breaker race is Maureen and Warren again, and she was on a mission to beat him this time. Warren caught up in the last 15 meters and beat Maureen by just a kayak nose. Maureen is upset she let her team down, and the guys celebrate their win.

The contestants are now a month into their journey and they come in to be weighed by the panel. Ant immediately gets Maureen to cry by bringing up how they lost the fit camp. Cledus says he wants to give his Hawaii trip to Maureen and she says that she didn’t win. He is stubborn though, and she finally accepts the nice gesture. Maureen is up first to weigh in. Her current weight is 132 lbs. meaning she lost 7 lbs. more. She has lost 12% of her weight already and leads the entire cast. Dr. Ian agrees to change her goal to 118 lbs. instead of 125 lbs. Stacy asks about her crying and she says she doesn’t want to let her team down and she’s touched by Cledus’ generosity. Her next goal is 3 lbs.

Ross gets up next and he loses only 1 lb to bring him down to 198 lbs. He wants to get rid of the “fat Ross” and be a new man. He was struggling with his workout, so Harvey recorded some podcasts of him yelling and motivating Ross for him to put on his iPod to listen to while he works out. He says it helped him out. The next weight in goal is 4 lbs.

Cledus gets weighed in at 197 lbs. meaning he lost 5 lbs. Cledus says he’s eating regularly and exercising for the first time in his life. Cledus is afraid of flying after almost dying in a plane crash, so he admits that’s part of the reason he gave his trip to Maureen and he cries as he talks about how he wants to see his kid more often but can’t because he’s afraid of flying. His target for the next weigh in is 4 lbs.

It’s Dustin’s turn, but first, Ant shows everyone what he said behind their backs. No one seems too impressed with what he’s saying and he laughs. He stands behind what he said and Brat tells him to be a man and stop saying things behind their backs. Kimberley refuses to say anything. Dustin says he was hurt that Brat said she didn’t like him. Cledus says he’d spend time in jail to whoop Dustin’s ass. Cledus says he liked the Dustin he hung out with at fit camp, but not the one that talks behind people’s backs. Kimberley finally loses it and they bicker back and forth.

Dustin finally gets on the scale and he loses nothing at all. Dr. Ian says he’s not worth the panel’s time. Dustin makes excuses about being on the road. They have tape of him eating things like fried calamari and huge steaks with beer. Dr. Ian wants him to be a part of Celebrity Fit Club instead of against it. Dustin says he’s totally disgusted with how the evening has gone. Stacy calls him out for always running away from things. She asks what’s going on in him. He says he’s bailing because he can do it on his own without all the bashing. Harvey cuts off Stacy to tell Dustin to get over it because not everyone is always going to like him and Dustin decides to quit. He walks out of the room with Harvey calling him a quitter.

Kimberley is glad he’s gone, and Dustin says he’s tired of the bashing as he packs his bags. He calls his girlfriend and tells her she’s ready to leave. Kimberley tells Ant she’s tired of hearing Dustin being the victim. Dustin says he doesn’t care if he is a quitter and Warren goes to talk to him. He tells Dustin to ignore everything and they need him to come back. Dustin says his fans will stick with him if he quits. Ross goes to talk to him as well and tells him he doesn’t have to talk to Kimberley, but the video was shocking. Dustin starts talking about Cledus threatening him on television. Dustin defends what he said on the camera as the “truth”. Ant comes in and tells Dustin the panel wants to make amends and just want him to try it a different way. Tiffany tries to get him to come back out by saying everything is out in the open now. Dustin comes back to sit in the room while he waits for a driver. He refuses a mic and sits on the end. Ant says they are going to speed things up so they can get on the giant scale and Dustin can leave.

Kimberley weighed in and lost 2 lbs. Stacy tries to get everyone to move on from the drama. Her next target is 5 lbs. Warren only loses 3 lbs. and Harvey tells him the 50 year old women almost kicked his ass. Tiffany only lost 1 lb. She’s sick and went back to bad habits. Harvey asks her about how angry she was over the loss at fit camp. Brat lost nothing, and she blames it on drinking alcohol. Her next target is 6 lbs.

The giant scale shows the women lost the most this week as Dustin stands there and pouts. The women lost 10 lbs. this weigh in and the men lost 9 lbs. The women have lost 7.23% of their combined weight so far. Dr. Ian gives Dustin a target of 5 lbs. Their next fit camp is in the Colorado Mountains.

Next week, it’s snowy in the Colorado Mountains and they have to vote someone off their team.

Charm School—

Last time, Larissa threw out some attitude and Mo calls her a kid. They berated Cristal for not modeling in the fashion challenge and Jennifer was expelled.

This week we start off with the girls getting ready for the day. Shay says everyone is doing anything to win. Cristal is glad Becky stayed, but she doesn’t know how it will affect their relationship. Becky says she can’t trust Cristal anymore. The girls get on the short bus and head to Cal State Fullerton. “Thou Shalt Spit Mad Game With Style” is the commandment of the day. We are treated to a bunch of clips of the girls fighting and cussing. In this challenge, they will learn the art of debate. Darra is excited it’s something other than fingernails to talk about.

The girls sit in on a debate class and they say it’s very intense. The professor, Dr. John, teaches them the basics of debate and Saaphyri calls him a Master Bater, or Master Debater. Saaphyri doesn’t like the rules and makes up her own. Schatar, Brooke, Courtney, Larissa, and Leilene will be team A. Team B is Becky, Darra, Saaphyri, Shay, and Cristal. They break into their teams and the Cal State Fullerton debate team members help them get ready. Leilene is nervous because she never finished high school. I see a panic attack coming on as she listens. Keith stands by taking notes on what’s going on.

Team B is practicing their debates and the first topic is “Larissa has anger management issues”. Shay and Cristal are debating on this topic. Saaphyri feels her team is doing well. Cristal turns the topic to her and Shay doesn’t think that’s a good tactic. They then debate “Leilene is a crybaby”.

Then Keith tells them they will debate in front of a live audience for their next test. The debate topic is “All the people on Courtney’s team should be expelled from Charm School.” Each team gets to choose one girl to bench for the debate and those girls will not be immune no matter which team wins. Courtney’s team benches Leilene and she agrees to take one for the team.

Becky wants to bench Cristal for revenge and Cristal says no way because she knows she will be expelled if she’s vulnerable this week. They decide to take a vote. Cristal says she needs to be in the argument and Saaphyri also votes for Cristal to sit out so she gets benched. Cristal is mad it’s a popularity contest that she got benched.

They walk into the debate hall and Darra is a bit intimidated by the set up. Saaphyri says she could feel Cristal sending bad vibes and Leilene supports her team with a smile. Mo says she’s not surprised to see Cristal and Leilene were benched. Cristal goes over and talks to Mikki at the judges’ table and that makes her team mad.

They start with Becky and Brooke. Becky pulls out her “Becky Johnston” persona and says she’s been to court a lot so she knows what she’s doing. Both do a good job of stating their openings. The next to go are Larissa and Shay. It gets personal and Larissa says to the camera she’s going to beat Shay’s ass for her comments about how she talks. Shay knows Larissa gets tongue tied when she’s mad, so she used that to her advantage. Mo says Shay was on her game.

Saaphyri and Schatar are the next debaters up. Schatar stays calm and Saaphyri keeps interrupting Schatar, which is against the rules. Courtney calls her Johnnie Cochrane. Darra and Courtney get up to close. Darra gives a stirring end speech that draws great reactions from the audience. Courtney’s closing speech uses all of the arguments the other team used as why they should stay. Dr. John chooses Courtney’s team to win the debate because the other team didn’t do a sufficient job with their side of the argument. Mo, Keith, and Mikki are so surprised they ask him to explain his decision. Mo said it made sense when he broke it down, but she didn’t think their team did a good job at all.

The panel congratulates the winning team, but makes it clear they don’t feel they were as poised as the other team. The next thing you know, Mo and Larissa gets into a screaming match about the attitude Larissa is showing. Larissa says Mo just doesn’t like her. Mo tells her she’s not special enough to be picked out to not be liked. Mo gets really upset and leaves the set.

Cristal isn’t surprised her team lost. Brooke is upset because they won, but the panel doesn’t think they deserved it. After the challenge, the Charm School girls get to go out and party. Clothes start coming off, they make out with random guys, dance on tables, and Leilene is pissed off at Larissa for yelling at Mo. She asks Larissa if she’s going to fight the whole world. This makes Larissa mad and she starts going off about Leilene’s kids. They get chest to chest and throw out some cuss words and insults. Larissa has to be held back and she throws a punch. Leilene leaves the bar and Saaphyri goes with her outside as Leilene vents about Larissa insulting her mothering skills. Leilene gets back on the short bus and Larissa won’t let it go on the ride home.

There is only one hour before the elimination ceremony. Becky wants Cristal to leave. Cristal doesn’t think she should leave because she didn’t have a chance to debate. Leilene doesn’t want to go home, but she’s afraid she is because she’s still seen as weak. At the elimination ceremony, Mo congratulates the winning team again. She then calls out Larissa for doing all the wrong things. She’s safe from being expelled, but Mo wants her to hear that she needs to grow up.

Saaphyri, Cristal, and Leilene are called to the carpet. None of them want to go home. Keith and Mikki want Leilene to gain confidence. Saaphyri thinks Leilene is psycho and would chop her up into millions of pieces. Cristal lies about how she wanted her team to do well. Saaphyri gets called out for interrupting her opponent, but Keith told her she did better than she thought she would. Mo tells Leilene to step up and then sends her off the carpet. Larissa promises she will whoop Leilene’s ass. Cristal tells Mo that Saaphyri should have been benched and Saaphyri tells them she’s mad because Cristal can’t stop talking about herself. Mo expels Cristal who looks like she’s going to cry and she hugs Saaphyri and leaves. Mo says Cristal needed to go because she hadn’t improved anywhere. Saaphyri does a little victory song and dance. Mo calls them out about the bar tab and tells them to go sleep it off.

Next time, the girls have to go make some money selling a fragrance and Leilene uses her stripper knowledge to make some money. Larissa gets in Brooke’s face this time and gets called into Mo’s office.
