Massie’s Celebrity Rehab Finale Recap 
It’s day 19, and in less than 48 hours, the patients will be graduating from the Pasadena Recovery Center, but Dr. Drew has to deal with Kari Ann leaving the unit.
Contacted -using Heidi’s mobile- Kari Ann says returning to the center is “the last thing I want to do.” (This is the type of girl that if she was hungry and you offered her a bagel, she would hit you in the head with it because she’d rather have a croissant)
Later that afternoon, Dr. Drew takes the opportunity to talk to Mackenzie about her current living conditions, and asks if he can renovate sections of her house that would remind her of using. Dr Drew wants her to go home to a fresh start (Is there any wonder why this man is adored? He is like a hot, Mother Theresa).
Hari Kari
That same night, not surprisingly, Kari Ann decides to return to treatment. She explains that Dr. Drew’s lessons have resided with her, and she wants to finish treatment (I am really tiring of this little girl. You can tell she just wants to be adulated for doing nothing).
The next day, Mackenzie gets to see the renovations that have been done to her home. She is blown away, and tears of joy and gratitude are brought forth.
It’s the last day of rehab, but Dr. Drew isn’t excited for graduation, because many of the patients are still in dire need of help. Some of the celebrities have not yet identified with having a disease; their battles with drugs and alcohol are far from over.
Alarmingly, Heidi, so opposed to the idea of needing Sober House, wants to get high. She now realizes that Sober Living is a mandate for her (Hard to believe this woman once had Hollywood as her oyster, now she resembles the whack job your parents warned you about).
The patients have been so challenging that Shelley admits, “That was the craziest thing I have ever been through in my life.” (This coming from a woman who used to do anything necessary to score drugs… so you can imagine just how bad this group was)
Dr. Drew feels every patient would benefit from entering Sober House after graduation.
Dying To Graduate
This season, the graduation ceremony takes place at Mountain View cemetery because Dr.Drew feels it should be less of a celebration and more of a somber warning.
Each celebrity gets a moment to speak to their peers and address what they are feeling and vice versa. Kari Ann is first and she thanks everyone for putting up with her, because she knows she can be difficult.
Dr. Drew expresses his admiration for her improvement, and despite it seeming like he played favorites with her, he explains that it was just because he been impressed by all her hard work (Hmm… they must have cut those parts out, because besides changing her outfit 10 times a day, and having an impromptu art lesson, I can’t think of anything she has done)
Mike is next and avers that he came in to rehab dying, but the Center and Dr. Drew saved his life. Dr Drew knows how taxing his journey has been to come off of a daily dosage of 130mg of methadone.
Heidi admits she was so lonely, that detoxing on national television, excited her.
Mindy follows and she feels that she is herself again. She thanks every person for helping her find her way, and acknowledges that she could have never done it with their support. Mindy’s sincerity leaves everyone in tears (She looked so beautiful and vibrant, I was in awe).
Joey is next and he too thanks everyone, because he “never had anybody who gave a shit about him” like they do.
Mackenzie then takes the floor and is grateful for the hard work the staff put in, and affirms that “This is it for me, I am done, because if I’m not done… I’m dead.”
In reply, Kari Ann says Mackenzie “let me down and hurt me a lot.”
But Dr. Drew iterates Aristotle’s Ethics view that the highest level of a human relationship is friendship, and that Mackenzie is indeed an amazing friend to those around her.
Tom follows, and is adamant that he could start over again. “My priorities have been skewed”, he confesses. He placed getting high above his children.
Heidi responds, saying, “I look at you and I feel so good ’cause you’re such a loser”. She then adds that the mere thought of being with him makes her want to turn gay (I would have to agree, but the same thing could be said for every other man on the show, except Dr. Drew).
Lisa vows to not have her life turn to that dark place many in treatment have let it get to, and she just wants to share the love that she has with everyone.
Dennis is last, and he admits that won’t stop drinking, but knows he has to somehow straighten himself out because he is an alcoholic.
Mindy tells Dennis that he has one of the biggest hearts out of everyone in treatment (When he isn’t discussing his Zen moments, Dennis really does comes across as genuine and a good person).
To Sober House Or To Your Own House
The time then comes to announce who will go to Sober House, and Kari Ann, Mike, Heidi, Tom and Dennis agree to go.
Dr.Drew concludes the show by stating that the road to recovery is hard, and he knows some will relapse, but he will never “stop believing that people have the power to change” and he will never give up on his patients or this disease (This man makes me believe that the perfect man does exist. Shame they are so rare to find.)
Is it just me or we didn’t see enough of what drug withdrawal looks like.
Some of these people made casual cocaine user a reasonable thing to say.
Lisa, Heidi and Mackenzie seemed to not have any symptoms at all.
we saw basically NOTHING of drug withdrawals. Mikes Freakout was probably it for that, and that is just the agitated part. trust me, i know
“(Hmm… they must have cut those parts out, because besides changing her outfit 10 times a day, and having an impromptu art lesson, I can’t think of anything she has done”……I know. They must have cut quite a few parts out because I didn’t see any of them doing any hard work towards rehabilitation.
At least Dennis is honest with himself, so I guess that’s half the battle. I hope they all have success with staying sober but don’t think that’s gonna happen, at least for a couple of them.
Anybody knows what happen to Monore? Is she still at rehab or what?
Good recap Massie.
Heidi is a bitch. No one mentions her ugly cross mouth dick lips.
Lol @ “duck lips”.
Throught out this whole season I was wondering if anyone would tell Heidi to bathe. She looked extremely dirty and hair was greasy.I didn’t expect her to wake up and do a Keri Ann, meaning standing in the mirror for hours while everyone waited but dang at least splash some water on your funky ass!
She also needs to sober up so she can sue whatever doctor made her face look that way! Tor’up from the floor up!
Great recap Massie! Are you doing Sober House too?
Lmao at the Heidi comments. I never tried to look at her directly because her face is so werid, but that pic above definately sums up what you guys are saying. That woman is a hotmess.
Thanks guys. If Ste doesn’t do them, I will recap Sober House. After all, who can resist all that eye candy? Jaja.
I am not the only one that thinks Dr.Drew is the hottest guy on VH1, right?
Nope you’re not the only one who thinks that way about Drew. I think it also has to do with the fact that you can see he cares about others unlike the fools that we have had to encounter on other VH1 shows.
Thank god! lol. Yeah he’s like the whole package. He is sweet, smart, charming, and most importantly has a hot hot caliente body. lol. Plus the fact that he cares so much about people,I just love watching him. Wooo, I melt. lol.
High fucking five to EVERYTHING you said girl! Im so gonna fantasize about his sexy behind tonite, lol.
Anyone got some oscar predictions?:)
I don’t even really know who is nominated for what, but I’m def going for Sandra Bullock for actress. lol.
The only ones I can remeber that are running and I think may win are Sandra B best actress, Mo’ for supporting actress and Up for best animation. I have no idea who is in the best song category and may not even watch the show tonight. Amazing Race is on at 8 and I don’t want to be sucked into the Oscars and miss it
I’m not watching. Can’t remember the last award show I actually watched more than 15 mins of. Going to do dinner and a movie instead.
I am going to say Mo’Nique for BSA. I want Sandra Bullock to win for BA but I don’t think she is going to get it. It might be Helen Mirren. She’s an outstanding actress. I would like Avatar for BP but it will probably go to Hurt Locker. Other than that I don’t really care.
Don’t watch the Oscars anymore. I just check online aftr it’s over to see who won what.
Sandra Bullock won.
God Damn It!….
Well most of yall were right and i agreed with most. I was glad hut locker got best director, I gotta support that since its the fist woman to win that. Best movie…..meh. But i dont was glad avatar didnt win, to me it was just an ok movie. Was crazy heart any good? havent seen it….
this was actually the first year I watched all the way through since What’s Love Got to do with it was nominated for a bunch of awards and didn’t win.
This year’s show wasn’t too bad but it had it’s horrible moments:
- The salute to horror films. Half of the clips they showed weren’t even from horror movies and the ones they did show they just used clips from the same movie over and over
- The dance number. Did they think they wouldn’t have enough time for everything? What was that even thrown in their for? Someone was bored when they thought of that idea.
- The In Memory section was missing so many people. They didn’t show Pernell Roberts, Bea Arthur or Farrah. But in think in Pernell’s case he may have died early this year instead of last.
-The video footage of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in bed together. Wasn’t needed but it did make me LOL when Steve slapped Alec
lmfao. Wth? I am glad I missed it, sounds a bit of a hotmess. Although, I want to see that video footage of Martin and Bladwin now. Who doesn’t love seeing a man get slapped?
lol.
Yep it was great and not expected which was the main reason I laughed. If I find the link I’ll post it
Oh and I forgot to mention
-Problems with teleprompter
- and the young stars not knowing how to stand up straight. Miley Cyrus and that chick from the Twilight movies were standing up there in ok looking gowns and hunched over! Just looking tacky as hell!
Found it:

i thought the salute to horror films was good. horror films needs to get nominated more often.
Oh I’m not saying they shouldn’t have saluted horror flims. I’m saying they could have done a better job. Of all the horror films ever made was it neccesary to show 5 or 6 clips from the first Nightmare on Elm Street? Did they really need to show clips from Little shop of Horrors (which wasn’t a horror film anyway)?
It was as if no one even bothered to do research and just went through what ever DVD’s they had at home and screw it here’s the clips
OT:
Ray J and Caliente
http://vh1realitycheck.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/rayj_calientejpg.jpg
Is it just me or does Caliente look fine as hell? lol
Who would of thought Mo’Nique would win an Oscar. [hmm]
i know right?…nice speech though.
Hallelujah @ the “Hot mother Teresa” comment. Dr. Drew is smoki’n!
lol @ ben stiller dressing up like a na’vi :p
Good Job Massie
What happened at the academy awards? I saw someone kept saying she is a bitch another Kayne!
I didn’t see anything like that…
I went ahead and watched it. I think they may have been speaking about the woman who kept takiing the mic during the guys thank you speech for the best documentry short “Music by Prudence”. I’m not sure who the woman was because I turned away from the tv for a bit and when I looked back she was trying to hog the mic and she wasn’t even the winner.
I was right. Here’s a link if you want to see for yohttp://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2010/03/oscars-kanye-moment-music-by-prudence-producer-elinor-burkett-hijacks-speech.htmlurself:
Why does the hurt locker keep getting more awards than avatar???!!!
Because it’s the better film?!
nOOOOOO…
It is. Guess who just took home the gold?
fixed.
Both Avatar and Hurt Locker sucked
Mo’Nique is the only one to have gotten a real boost from a VH1 show.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK The Hurt Locker, such a stupid lame fuckin movie.
Avatar or Up should have won Best Picture.
The should make a reality Tv awards show for the better shows like Jersey Shore, BGC, and MTV, Vh1. Not stuff like The Bachelor
Up maybe, Avatar FUCK NAW!!
Forget Natalie and Tanisha and whoever the hell. Kari Ann is the only one I want to strangle.(Her and Perez) I hope Drew is taking all of her money for the special treatments she’s allowed.
What Exactly makes Kari Ann so bad? because she acts like a regular reality tv person is it because shes in rehab?
I thought that K-A breaking all her glass pipes was BS. What they didn’t show you was that the cameras were at her house (one of the bonus scenes does). She wasn’t going to use and smashing the pipes was good show which impressed Dr Drew. Rotten little girl.
This boring episode got really annoying at the part where the patients revealed their decision to attend and get paid for the next show. Since VH1 had already been plugging it, the pregnant pauses for dramatic effect (Tom: “I want to go home, I want to go home.” [he must mean to use. Oh no!] “But…”) almost made me put my foot through my TV (since it’s a picture tube).
I cant stand the good doctor. A rehab that plays out on television in not responsible. Heidi and Tom together on the same floor a few doors apart. bad news. Good for the mallard madam for giving tom a little sass on her way to the soberish house.
I think that mike and mindy may have done some time at a medical detox before they came to rehab. meth/coke users usually need some sleep and some food. maybe tom is just terminally icky now always sweating and all oily gross looking in his stupid pajamas and little hats on a big head.
funny they showed joey on the show for a total of seven minutes.
kari ann reminds me of veruca salt on willy wonka the first one.
you know… i want it all and i want it nowwwww!
i wonder how much people get paid to be on these shows?
Lol, I so agree with you about Tom lookin all sweaty and smelly.
Tom’s ex-wife claims it’s 200K. Money like that to save your frickin life? Some upside down shit.
haha …i know he is excreting some sort of unholy oil.
Test…
