Bourgy.com - Where smart people dumb down!

Who left again? Yeah, Lionezz…
And that probably explains why this Episode opens with Bree in contemplative mood, because being better than Lionezz is like your girl telling you you’re the second-best she’s ever had.
It’s degrading to be in the ‘Bottom 2′, she thinks; and swears never to be there again.

At least she can count Chiba as an associate…the model cum rapper who’s turned almost everyone off in the Fembassy, says Bree and Twist are the only people she can see eye-to-eye with. (lol; sorry, that was insensitive)
Which explains why Twist is concerned about the drama between Chiba and Byata. (never, ever, get involved in lovers’ quarrels)

Speaking of lovers quarrels, John Singleton knows all about that… and the acclaimed Director is this episode’s celebrity guest. He, alongside regulars YoYo and MC Serch, will judge the acting abilities of the ladies to perform a Hip-Hop version of ‘Hamlet’.
It’s the ‘John Singleton Rappatory Theatre’, and Chiba is the firm favorite, having acted in three movies already.
She failed to live up to her billing though, and flubbed her lines; but her Oxbridge accent was pretty good.

Nicky2States and Lady Twist were the winners and named Captains for the challenge to come.

Nicky’s picks: Rece Steele and Byata
Twist’s picks: Miss Cherry, Chiba and Bree

With the lovers separated, the argument begins again, and Rece Steele joins in the fun. Byata says “I’mma take her sunglasses off so the camera can see her fucking eye” (byatch, the camera can’t see shit…)
Rece says Chiba is a phony, “she’s not a good representation of what Hip-Hop should be” (and your ass who looks like the 4th rejected member of TLC, is? SMH)

Chiba can only speculate that they’re jealous she’s never faced elimination.

The drama is too much for Twist, and drives her to drink; surprisingly. I thought she’d go for the fridge. Poor thing ended up Absolut’ly drunk and passed out on the floor, though it might have been staged.
The next morning and a hungover Twist calls her girl-friend and says she’s fittin’ to come home because of the drama (what drama? this is just punany withdrawal in effect)
The love chat is broken up however, as Serch and YoYo bring news of the challenge; a challenge titled ‘Hook, Rhyme, and Swinga’

The ladies are at the world famous Washington Dance Studio and are told they have 60mins to come up with a verse, a hook and a dance. (not that difficult cuz JT and Madonna had only 4mins to save the world)

Both groups have decent hooks; Rece came up with ’stir it up, stir it-stir it-stir it, stir it up’ for Nicky’s squad, whilst Twist’s team has ‘put your hands up high, then sweep the floor’
The dances are a worry though, particularly for Twist…

Performance Time

The ladies enter the ‘Garage’ to a break-dancing welcome and a Rakim track -which incidentally uses the same sample Ghostface uses on ‘Ghost is Back’- and get down to work.
Twist’s team performs first and shockingly, Bree can ‘crunk’!

But they are beaten by Nicky’s team because Nicky is just pure fiyah; a rap Phoenix.

As the results are announced, an overjoyed Byata can’t help herself but laugh at Chiba facing elimination for the first time.

Rece was then named ‘Lady of the Stage’ and given the keys to the Salt and Pepa suite’.
That was just another show of how poor the judging is on this show, cuz Nicky was clearly the best; and even earlier, Serch described Bree as “trying too hard” when she clearly was the best dancer of all the ladies….SMH.

Eliminations

In the Salt and Pepa suite, Rece is serenaded by the ‘Thug Crooner’, which turned out to be complete nonsense. No one enjoys these Salt and Pepa moments; they are just useless and pointless.

But it’s now down to seriousness, and the four ladies up for elimination are directed to spit 16 bars on the drama in their life; four of which must focus on the drama they have had in the house.

Cherry goes first and delivers, but devoted almost her entire rhyme to the house. YoYo says she got goosebumps at her performance and Serch tells her to fall-back, she is safe.

Bree goes third and delivers a powerhouse that really seems to follow the directive. She is the best by far, but YoYo and Serch think her rhyme was ‘iffy’ (uh?). She is safe, though.

That meant either Lady Twist or Chiba were going home. Twist was poor and vague, but clean throughout. Chiba stumbled mid-way and her rhyme was scrambled.
It was a tough decision between two disappointing rhymes, and when Serch said “I am so sorry Chiba…”, it seemed Twist had made it, but he then said “…but you have to spend another week with the haters”

So that was that, Lady Twist was eliminated and Chiba lives on.
Next week, we can expect even more lesbian drama.
