The title was uttered as the show opened by an announcer over video of Tom Green.
Just so you know.
Welcome to Day 18 and Episode 7, A.K.A. Eviction Night
Joey “Whoa” Lawrence of Blossom and Kandi Burruss, a Real Housewife of Atlanta
My pre-show evict pick? Kandi
When last we left (that sounds very soap opera-y), Tom Green was Head of Household (HOH) and thought Kandi or Joey had the power America had given someone anonymously, so he put them on the block trying to flush it out. However, Americans gave it to Tamar, Kandi’s frienemy, emphasis on the “my”.
That brings us to tonight and we open with Lolo, not so surprisingly getting upset. I mean c’mon, would it be a show if Lolo didn’t get emotional? At one point in the show, she mentions that bobsled accident. Can you play connect the dots?
Tonight it’s because she thinks Tom is paranoid about Ricky (he’s paranoid about everything. He’s Tom Green). Lolo is loyal to Ricky who put a little bird in her ear at a crucial moment early in the game.
Tom and Kato were having a lot of bromance dates ad Kato kept telling Tom he didn’t trust the three athletes. (Good call Kato)
Meanwhile, Natalie said Tom, “Was running around the house like Looney Tunes.”
First up was the Veto Competition
It was a huge twist on the classic Bowl-a-Rina. This time the players, in full pads, had to spin 15 times and kick an oversized football through a bounce house-esque upright. They had to go over blockers and time it. First to three scores advances. The loser is out.
Lolo Jones vs Dina Lohan
This matchup included possibly the best blooper of the summer. Dina kicked the ball, hit a down lineman (meaning she got zero air on the ball), and fell flat on her ass, just sitting there.
Joey Lawrence vs Tom Green
Joey comes from behind, putting pressure on Tom Green, who needed only one ball to win. But Green shows that he’s more than a washed up comedian.
Note to Green. You’re not the only one who gets to make one ball jokes.
Kandi Burruss vs Tom Green
Green was looking very much like his name, being forced to go twice in a row, but he crushed Kandi 3-0. It wasn’t all bad. Kandi did hit the upright once. That’s pretty cool.
Natalie Eve Marie vs Third Time In a Row Tom Green
Before he even stepped on the field you could hear Tom asking a production assistant for something to throw up in.
Natalie kept her cool and played it smart. She spun quickly but not rushed and then walked to the football, lined it up and popped three in a row.
See ya Tom. With Lolo and Nat in the finals and them both being tight with Ricky, they’re not going through with your plan to use the veto, allowing Tom to finish his backdoor of Ricky Williams by putting him on the block and having his posse, led by his house boy Kato, send him to talk to Julie.
Instead, Natalie chose not to use the power and Joey’s speech was basically a, “Please send me home to my family”, plea and in the end Joey went home 6-0 and my daughter laughed at me for picking wrong.
Check back here Tuesday at 8:30 PM Eastern, Friday at 7:30 PM Eastern, and Saturday at 7:00 PM Eastern for more fun. Check our recaps of past episodes HERE.
By the way, did anyone catch the little joke with the photo at the top of the page? Kandi got crushed by Tom, and the person is playing Candy Crush on their phone.
Clever? Not So Clever? You decide.
