From the limousine to the Lear Jet and it’s off to Sin City, Las Vegas. A Lear Jet is like $2500 an hour, give or take a few hundred, depending on the amount of seats it’s fitted with; so it’s not like VH1 splurged.
Seriously though, for a show that spends relatively little, these women need to be compensated. I wonder if they get residuals and stuff?
And the jet was ugly too, it looked 15 years old; at least.

But, they had a safe flight notwithstanding and were driven to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino to be greeted by Phil Shalala. Later the ladies are taken to their suite. A suite that includes a bar, a pool-table and presents.
Much merriment ensues; which I never quite understand, because it’s not like they are in one of those houses on MTV’s ‘The Real World’

The merriment is interrupted by a knock on the door, and a note given to them which acknowledges the arrival of ‘the awesome foursome and Heather’ and instructs them that Jessica and Destiney will have an afternoon round of golf with Bret; and Ambre and Daisy will join him for dinner, later in the day.

Jessica is cool with it because she played “varsity golf in High school for four years” (can she be any more JC Penney?) and Destiney is okay with it because she’s okay with anything that involves grass, wood, iron, balls and holes.

To prepare them for their date, Heather ’80’s up their hair’; but against her wishes Bret actually enjoys the ‘look’ and says it “took me back to some fond memories” (poor Bret, it must be really hard for him to now wear a wig…)

Back at the suite Heather is justifying her unwelcome presence on the show by questioning Ambre and Daisy. Daisy in particular seems to grate her nerves, and really, Daisy is the definition of nerve grating…she looks and acts inauthentic. The only reason to be with Daisy is if you were an unemployed broke-ass homeless musician (Oh!)
Somewhere in the conversation with Daisy she confesses to hooking-up with Bret “like 500 times” and boasts she has no competition (if a girl hooked-up with me fifty times, we’re talking wedding-ring; so I wouldn’t be so confident if after 500 times you’re begging for a back-stage pass)

Later, Heather speaks to Ambre, not on her chances of being with Bret, but about Daisy. Daisy says she’s in debt because of her boob-job and Heather encourages her to speak on Daisy’s issues when they are at dinner.
“She’s no good for him, girl”, Heather says to Ambre.
For all her smarts, Heather is completely fooled by Ambre who’s quite happy to discuss Daisy and not herself.

Meanwhile, Jessica and Destiney are at the Angel Park Golf Course with Bret. Jessica is doing well -nice, comfortable swing- but she can barely strike it 100 yards. Destiney is simply awful!
On seeing Jessica stealing kisses from Bret with each hole she completes; Destiney resorts to doggie-style posing for attention. (Disgustamente!)
After playing 2 hos 9 holes, Bret returns to the Casino.

The dinner date with Daisy and a hot-looking Ambre, took place at AJ’s Steakhouse. I’m sure the food is good, but Bret’s mind was on the ladies, Daisy in particular, “someone has a story to tell, and someone…is lying to me”
So the agendum was set, but Daisy has her story and she is sticking to it…according to her, not only has she not had sex with Charles (the ex) for two years, but not with anyone else either (batteries not included)
As she put it, Charles has lived with her for two years because “at one point I had been pregnant and I had an abortion, and he stayed there” (uh, why is a guy being praised for staying with his girlfriend after she aborted their child? Unless…nooooo, it can’t be! Can it?)

Added to that ambiguous reasoning is Charles’ ‘unemployedness’, ‘pennilessness’ and I suppose his ‘hotness’ (according to one blind reader-kins)
How is Daisy paying for all this without help?
Could this be a Lacey Conner situation where she is independently wealthy and living off her stocks and bonds?
Uhmmn, no!
Turns out she’s a ‘dancer’. And with tips, she’s also able to provide herself lip-injections, boob-augmentations and hair-extensions (a weave in black-speak; however technically wrong I am)

Back at the suite, Heather is spilling the beans to Destiney and Jessica; letting them know about Daisy’s “500 times” comment and her cocky attitude. For some reason, known only to Destiney, she receives this news badly and climbs the pool-table.
A surprised Jessica speculates, when Daisy returns “it’s going to be on like Donkey Kong” (who says that?)
Well at least she didn’t say it’s going to be on like Lebron James.

And so they did return, and it was on like Honkey Kong (that wasn’t racist was it? We push the envelope around here). Suddenly it became ‘white-on-white’ crime as the ladies ganged up on poor Daisy.
Even Ambre, was heard to say, or rather scream, things like, “you’re not gonna walk away from me” (Whoa!) and “I’m sick of people taking away from my time with Bret”

It all came to nowt however, as the girls received an invitation to Bret’s suite. Once again, Bret, who’s all by himself, receives a suite that’s twice the size of the ladies’ (go figure)…and this one included a bowling-lane and a ‘private’ black-jack table, which seems an unnecessary use of the word considering it’s in his suite.
They settle-down to play but the ladies are in no mood to; particularly Destiney who picks a fight with Daisy and eventually knocks a drink close to her face. It followed Heather’s throwing a drink in her face in the suite, earlier.
Bret is not amused, I mean, what man wants women fighting over him? (/sarcasm)…and asks the ladies to return to their suite; sans Daisy.
To her, he warns, ‘your story unfolds too slowly’ and asks her if she is here for the right reasons (a rhetorical question, I assume); before allowing her to leave and join the ladies for a deserved sleep.

The next morning Bret tells Heather, “you’re too big an entity”, thanks her for her help, then asks her to leave. Making her the second contestant, following New York, to be rejected twice (yeah yeah, that’s not technically true; but ‘Heather’ and ‘rejected’ are a perfect fit)

Having shed her, Bret decides he needs one-on-one time with Jessica and Daisy. Jessica was first and they had another boring, respectable date, but he wasn’t feeling her. She did look damn good in those leather knee-high boots, though. Too good to be rejected by a line as dishonest as, “I’ll be bringing you into a world that’s full of hurt” (Uhmmn dude? You aren’t Satan.That’s everybody’s world. REM even wrote a song about it…Geesh!)

And so it was yet another round of the only five-letter named mental-illness; Daisy!!!
“Daisy is a bottomless pit of turmoil”, Bret opines. (Now, as a black man, I can tell you that is grounds for dismissal right there, bottomless and my girl must never be mentioned in the same sentence)
But I digress…

Just hours from the Elimination Ceremony, Bret gives Daisy one final final last final last last final time to tell him everything she needs to. This time her revelation is, “there was a couple years ago when I befriended CC Deville” (What?! 2006 must have been an annus horribilis for Daisy. I just pray to God that Charles, her abortion and CC Deville aren’t all inter-connected in the vilest National Enquirerest way my mind is contemplating)
A shocked Bret queries whether befriended means slept with; but Daisy denies yet again.
Surely now, she has to go home!

Elimination Ceremony

“When you’re here in Vegas, you win big here, and you lose big here”, Bret begins; thus ensuring he’ll never ever again, be given a free suite at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
He then gives the first pass to Daisy (Bruce Willis actually being dead in Sixth sense, was less of a shock)
A trembling, crying, gesticulating, lip-air releasing, face-collapsing Daisy steps forward and receives her pass.
Ambre is next, crying with joy as the tears trace each and every line on her face.

It’s down to Jessica and Destiney; both girls are in tears; fearing the worst and hoping for the best.
“Destiney, would you come down here please?”
And for a moment, one thought Bret would give her the goodbye speech, but instead he asks, if she can handle his rock-star lifestyle (I am so sick and fed-up of that bullshit question it ain’t even funny)
She answers in the affirmative and Bret replies, “I thought that’s what you would say so I want you to stay here and rock my world”
A tearful and disappointed Jessica is sent home.

So that’s that, next week the parents come to the mansion; although one feels Daisy is gonna have another ‘explanastory’ moment. But she’s not the only one, apparently Ambre lied about her age. But that’s for another day…thanks for reading.
Cheers.
