Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch Episode 2 Recap 
Episode 2 opens with the girls obsessing over their rankings and mostly feel they were ranked too low (I admit those rankings are suspect but it’s the second episode. Some of them might be ranked too high).
When all of the girls are assembled, Ocho arrives in person to explain the rules of the bracket. He says the girls are split up into a blue side and a red side. He continues that the girls from each side will have group dates to compete for a private date and from that; one pair from each side will get to go on the date. He then tells the girls that one girl from each private date will advance to the next round while the other girl will be eliminated (So really the point is to not get picked to go on a date?)
He tells the girls from the blue side that they will get a chance to compete for a date today.
Ocho then directs the 8 women (Rubi, Candice, Emma, Ericka, Courtney, Crystal, Tiphani and Brittany) to go to the locker room where they all find skimpy, white bikinis. When the girls get dressed, Ocho leads them out to the pool (Oooh the pool. I would have never guessed they got to go there :: rolling eyes :: ).
Strategize to Self-Sabotage
Immediately, Rubi suggests everyone should play volleyball in the pool so while they do that I will sit here and frown at the TV until I can start writing about something relevant again.
(…..2 minutes later when I finally stop frowning) Ok so now everyone is done playing volleyball and Ocho wants to ask the girls why they are here and why they feel they should be picked to go on a date later. He warns them that the girl who doesn’t impress him on the date will be eliminated
Rubi is first and she says her sister signed her up for the show and the only reason why she stayed is because Ocho intrigues her (Uh???). Candice tells Ocho she wants to go on a date because they didn’t talk too much and she felt talking to his friends was the next best thing (I’m glad Ocho is giving these skanks a hella serious stare because these are the most basic answers I have EVER heard). Crystal says she’s interested in Ocho because he changed his name to something Spanish (STOP HERE! STOP RIGHT HERE. Your stupid ass is impressed by a bitch who didn’t even have the decency to change his name to a real Spanish word? WTF? All these bitches can go home and now I need a new word because basic bitch ain’t strong enough for them).
Ocho stops the girls for good now and he says he wants Emma and Ericka to go on the date with him. Emma and Ericka get ready for the date and the other girls hope Emma does well because they think Ericka is stupid (I hate Ericka’s face. It really bothers me).
Ocho first takes Emma and Ericka on a helicopter ride to Santa Barbara. Once they arrive in Santa Barbara they head to the beach where Ocho takes Ericka for a walk. Ericka admits off the bat that she has dated football players before. She says she was engaged to one player but since she was 22 it didn’t work out (There’s nothing wrong with getting married at 22 if you’re not a slut. Since I think Ericka might be a slut it’s probably a good thing she didn’t get married). After the talk, Ocho, Emma and Ericka huddle up on the beach and they talk about relationships and stuff.
Later, Ocho asks Emma and Ericka why they think they should stay. Ericka says she’s comfortable around him and she thinks she’s a better fit for Ocho than Emma is. Emma struggles to answer the question.
Ocho takes Emma for a walk but we don’t really get to hear what they talk about and with that the date is already over.
The next morning, the girls strategize about if they want to go on the date (most of them don’t want to get picked). On the video screen, Ocho tells the girls on the red side that they will have a tailgating party with his fans.
Dress to Impress…the Internet?
Outside the girls are greeted by fat Bengals fans in stupid body paint (This is how you can tell a real Bengals fan because no way in hell could you pay any random actor in June and in California to pretend they like a suck ass team that’s not the Raiders, the 49′ers or the Chargers). The party is pretty boring and nobody is talking about much of anything. So fast forward to the end of the party where Ocho decides that Angela and Jasmine will go on the date. Jasmine is very unhappy about getting picked to go on this date.
Of course Angela is super confident about the date while Jasmine is nervous. What’s worse, Jasmine can’t fit her dress and has to be helped into it (Really? Y’all wasted a whole minute on this?). Lisa tells Jasmine that Angela is planning on acting “cute” on the date so she tells Jasmine not to be nervous. Angela tells Lisa her voice is annoying (it is but Angela’s voice is equally as annoying) and Lisa and Angela argue for a bit about being annoying (Why are these arguments so fucking lame?)
Ocho takes Angela and Jasmine to a fancy restaurant. Ocho announces in the confessional that this is a ‘live date’ where his fans will get to give him their input (I saw the whole 2 hours of this including the 30 minutes with no sound last month. So instead of recapping this part you should read this post because what Steupz says and what I said in the comments is all you need to know and it’s way more insightful than this chopped up bullshit on TV).
Eliminations
So now it’s time for elimination and only Angela, Jasmine, Emma and Ericka have to be there. Ocho expresses his discomfort for Ericka’s preference for athletes. However it doesn’t bother him that much so he keeps her and eliminates Emma.
Ocho reveals to Angela and Jasmine’s that their date was streamed live on the internet and says his fans commented on their favorite. He says he likes Jasmine’s personality while commenting Angela on her beauty. Ocho says the fans liked Jasmine the most and because of that Angela is eliminated (We should have had more input on this show).
“Immediately, Rubi suggests everyone should play volleyball in the pool so while they do that I will sit here and frown at the TV until I can start writing about something relevant again.”
DEAD. VH1 can’t come up with a hit to save their lives. I feel so stupid for havin so much hope in this show.
::: here lies Mel, dead of asphyxiation from involuntary, uncontrollable laughter… :::
Charitable contributions toward the funeral arrangements can be sent in care of Massie.
Thanks EA. So this show sucks, and he eliminated the best looking girl on the show? Not watching.
She wasnt all that she was dumb as bricks another spanish fly..lol.I look way better than she does
And I know I suck cock better than she does.

Well, it stands to reason that a man would be better at giving good oral because he knows ‘the equipment’ better due to having his own ‘set’.
The same is reciprocally true of females…
It’s not like I practice on myself but yes, it helps to have my own.
$WHICH GIRL? N REALLY THT NOT THE BEST LOOKING ALOT OF GURLS SHXT ON THESE CHICKS FROM PREVIOUS SHOWS$
I think he means Emma.
That angie girl..she thinks she looks so good..I hate bitches like that..Im glad Jasmine won..
Sounds like a damn good episode to me
I thought it was all right. There’s been worse ‘Of Love’ shows episodes. Next week’s episode looks good though.
And dat ho who said she liked him becuz he changed his name to somethin Spanish….now THAT iz basic and that b!tch needs her life taken away.
EA the recap was funny. I guess I watched 5 minutes of this episode and that was enough. It’s like watching paint dry.
It’s really boring. I write my recaps while the show is on (none of that waiting until it goes off shit) and there were at least 3 points in it where I didn’t write much of anything and a couple commercial breaks where I didn’t need to go back and fill in what I missed.
You’re a trooper. I couldn’t have done it.
Im glad i didn’t watch it…Ever since watching that recent Soup episode it’s been feeling TOO Scripted. Especially when it cuts to commerical break. and a different girl says what a girl just said RIGHT Before they cut break!
There is something not symmetrical about Ericka’s face, for real.
Her lips. They are weird.
I agree. She already has a man face and just putting that crap in her lips just makes her face look off.
The lips are kinda odd, but not nearly as much as the fact that her neck seems weirdly disproportionate to her body; like its too short.
Did you ever take a Barbie doll & squished its head down on the neck as far it would go, and it made the face look all wide & distorted?
That’s just how this chick looks.

$……………………… i like jasmine though$
Well, the recap was excellent play-by-play with funny commentary, despite the boredom both you and I endured watching the ep — although, the fast forward button helped me get thru it.
VH1 is showing the new You’re Cut Off at 11 tomorrow night cuz of the Do Something awards
so no ratings then or will you still be able to get them ‘matic?
Nope. No ratings for that because 11pm is too late to get ratings. I don’t have ratings for Dad Camp and Bridal Bootcamp either so it’s looking like only 3 VH1 shows (OCD, Ocho & T.O.) for Tuesday’s list.
Darn.. Do you think them showing it late will hurt the ratings or will the awards bring in more viewers?
I’m guessing it probably won’t help the ratings. I think that particular awards show is new and I don’t think it has much of a draw so I don’t think it will do all that well.
BGC 5 Spoilers**************************

the morgan fite happens first episode nd i think she gets kicked out as a result because in qll her fights shes wearing those white pants/ black shirt or black bra. I think Catya and Kristen where here allies because in a preview i see catya bust through the house doors with here nd kristen cries with morgan good bye in another
Since Ericka’s departure, and her pics just exposed in the previous post, it reminds that no girl with suggestive pics before or during the airing of these “Of Love” shows has won anything, unless I’ve missed something Bourgy has not posted.
To-wit, I expect Candice, Laurice, Courtney, Jasmine and Rubi (despite her #1 seed) to be eliminated.
Oh, I want Jasmine to win. She’s the only one I like so far. I feel like if she were around different people she would be instigating lots of good drama.
I dig Jasmine, too. Interestingly enough, a few of the girls twitter pages are either now locked or not found. Jasmine’s twitter, as posted here, is no longer found.
Maybe G.S. will find out the scoop.
It’s not found because she changed the name. It doesn’t matter though because it was locked before and it’s still locked now. A lot of them locked their Twitter pages. I don’t get why because it’s not like any of them are all that interesting anyway.
Hmph. Shoulda figured you had the update on the tip of your fingers, E.
Maybe this Angie Marie person might have something interesting about her since she supposedly has won some sort of “Miss Whatever” contest, though she has been reportedly mingling with other ballers, e.g. LBJ.
Oh… and Halie (or Heather) has revealing shots, so I would guess she is gone too, though more likely because she seems a bit too quiet.
OT: Anyone see the Celebrity Rehab final cast?
LINK
It’s better than I thought it would be, but more than a couple of people I have no idea about even after looking them up.
Sadly I know who all of these people are. What is Frankie going in for? I’ve always believed she was a crack head. What happend to Bonnie Pointer? Was she booted for another person or did she drop out?
Looks interesting. i might give it a watch!
Seems boring because it was so hyped up to have Tila Tequila who is crazy and Liloh
Tila backed out and now claims she’s sober. Yeah whatever!
the only people i dont know are the 2 jasons (1 of them in the hills?) and jeremy.
I only know of them because I read Perez Hilton. Jason Davis is a Beverly Hills brat. I know there are 2 brothers but one Perez calls Gummi Bear because he was a big guy and the other one is the one that started calling Lindsey Lohan “fire crotch”
Just looked it up. Jason is Gummi Bear. He’s been trying to get sober for quite awhile and recentlt overdosed and was rushed to hospital. Why he has to come on a “celebrity” show I have no idea. But then again the word celebrity is really blurred on VH1
Gummi Bear was on Millionaire Matchmaker once and he was a hot mess. That was a great episode. He brought a monkey to the date.
A monkey?! WTH?
The worst part was that he carried a cane with him where ever he went. Oh, and there was a shirtless scene. I forget why they did that, but it was gross.
Another blog had a screen cap of a tweet from @FiestyShelia saying Tila was rejected because she didn’t pass the psych test. Don’t know if that tweet is the real thing or not.
Don’t know what happen to Bonnie Pointer…last thing I heard was she was ready to go on the show.
Frankie is one crazy lady. She’s probably going in for a slew of reasons. Check her out at one of her interviews:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh9sEXbuVnI&feature=related
Hi Joann!
I’ve seen plenty of pics and videos on MTO (when I used to visit that site) of how crazy Frankie is. I think it’s a combo of substances with her : crack, alcohol, and weed or anything she can get her hands on!
You don’t know Leif Garrett?! That’s the one that got me excited. Best VH-1 Behind the Music EVER.
I cried on that one. But I thought he was clean? He’s been doing the commentary on World’s Dumbest Criminals
Leif’s still using junk? Dayum…time to grow up dude.
No way. He’s been dirty pretty much since that special.
I remember seeing him on a couple things here and there and he looked like shit. I also think there was a televised intervention, but I can’t recall if that was during the VH-1 thing or not.
Either way, I think he and Janice Dickinson will bring some drama. And maybe we’ll even see KariAnne pop her weird looking head up.
I will check this out. Leif was the boy-man back in the day.
I remember that Behind the Music. That one was really good. They don’t make them like that anymore.
No they don’t but Jeniifer Hudson’s was touching

::shake ‘em up, blow, toss, snaps:: Seven. Gimme da loot.
LOL i’m high as fuck right now and dis made me crack up!
Great job EA.
My lord, women are so cruel. When I heard Ericka (btw, that’s a stupid fucking spelling) compared to Howard The Duck I almost choked on my slice of (Made In Vermont) New York pizza.
What makes New York pizza different to, say, Chicago pizza.
Btw, Paul, do you fold your pizza when you eat it?
Chicago pizza is deep dish. duh.
Deep dish pizza is wack. <—–Coming from someone who lives in Chicago. Only people who visit from out of town eat that shit.
Yeah, Chicago is a caloric unnecessary nightmare. btw, the best pizza (NY style) can be found in New Haven CT at Pepe’s.
Eating a NY slice unfolded? Perish the thought.
…and the whole knife & fork thing for deep dish is just too much: 45 mins just to serve the damn thing. New York is a run & gun type of town with street vendors selling food to git & split. NY style pizza: point, heat, buy, serve, fold, walk & eat – all of that can go down in 5 mins or less.
Ericka compared to Howard the Duck? Dayum. I can see that but dayum.
$L0L I SEE IT CHUBBY DUCK FACE WITH FAKE BOOBS NOT MY TYPE$
I finally know who Ericka looks like Topanga from boy meets world
http://theithacan.org/blogs/bigspoon/files/2007/12/topanga.jpg
http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/premiere_photo/20050905/20/4160003549.jpg
HELL NO!
Topanga was better looking. Those pictures didn’t do her justice.
Whoa..she sure does. Could be her twin…well maybe her older sister.
I love Danielle Fishel. She’s awesome. Don’t compare her to Howard the Duck!
You do have to admit they do favor.. Just like Ashely from rock of love looks like kimmy gilbert from full house
I guess a little like Kimmy.
$ALSO CHAD MUST NOT BE THAT N2 AZZ$
This is what that dumb trick Angela Marie(Angie) said on facebook.. “They try and make me look conceited bitch ha just bc I didn’t try they try and make me look like I’m so into my looks! Ha I went to college I just didn’t like his ghetto ass! Please understand I wanted to leavee”
$O FUCK HER UNKNOWN AZZ THATS WHY SHE GONE EARLY OFF A WHACK AZZ SHOW SHE AINT SHXT$
IKR..Great minds think alike..lol
She’s talking all sour grapes and shit.
$IS APRIL A FUCKING GRANDMA???$
haha i agree.
when i saw her i was like wtf how did you escape the nursing home?
i wanted to say something earlier but i didnt know her name
Her face and her body look like they came from two separate generations.
Hmmm…I guess Ochenta-Cinco(I think I got that right? I haven’t had a Spanish lesson in a long time) doesn’t ring well, but come on, at least tell them it isn’t the proper way to say 85 in Espanol.
I don’t like this format of elimination.
Exactly… on the “doesn’t ring well” part.
I do. It “mixes things up”
I didn’t see the trailer cuz I didn’t want spoilers so can someone tell me if they’ll be doing challenges in future episodes?
I don’t think there will be challenges. I like this format so far though. Every girl gets a chance to go on a date with him but that date can end in rejection. It feels like what real first dates are like.
I find this criticism of Ocho to be unfair; Ochocinco sounds better and that’s why he chose it, presumably.
I think it “sounds better” cuz we’re used to hearing it that way so we got used to it.
Exactly. If the proper way sounded off to him he shouldn’t have made that his last name.
To legally change your name to something that’s grammatically just plain wrong is so laughable it’s pathetic.
Not to mention he christened himself with the stupid nickname in the first place.
…a la the Thin White Duke? Or Ziggy Stardust? LMAO. Okay.
I think more like George Costanza trying to give himself the nickname T-Bone.
Or Andre Rison back in the day trying to get people to call him Spider-Man. That was funny. He would do Spider-Man motions after scoring a touchdown in a desperate attempt to get it to catch on. I don’t think it ever caught on.
okay, I sense your idea of “stupid” in the Constanza case. Fair enough.
Well, many of us know that American culture has generated many original catch phrases that sit outside of the rules of English (and now Spanish), e.g. the word “dis” or “diss” that is used by the talking heads on mainstream media outlets, and is now found in the dictionary. Ironically, ALL of the talking heads (must) now use the word Ochocinco… as if it is correct.
Ocho, for the ultimate laugh.
…and how many black men in popular culture do you know that are ADVERSE to rhyme & rhythm for the sake of the rules of grammar? “Ochocinco” has both. Everyone of you likely has at least one hiphop song, one rock song or one blues song in your collection. Come on, people.
Why are you defending the brother’s ‘ghetto-osity’, CL?
Liking music that contains broken English is hardly the same thing as legally changing your name to a non-existent word.
Can you imagine if he ever gets married?
“Do you take this man, Chad OchoCinco, to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
‘Mrs. OchoCino’, and ‘the OchoCinco children’?
Really?
http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/3498/f7yhu.gif
You are too foine of a woman for me to debate you on “this brother’s ‘ghetto-osity’”. I’ll gladly take the “L” and yield to “Mel” in this case.
Gratzi.
I’ll gladly shut up about the imbecility of people who really don’t matter in favor of a nice compliment, any day.
@Ste;
Frank Zappa???
You lost me there, too.
It never stopped Frank Zappa
School me on the Frank Zappa reference, if you get a chance. Thx. …always looking to learn sumpin’ new.
He named his kids Dweezil, Moon Unit 1 and Moon Unit 2.
Dweezil is kicking ass doing his dad’s stuff.
Dweezil isn’t the real name. Dweezil is just a nick name they gave him when he was a baby and it just stuck. Guy’s got talent but he tends to sell out sometimes. I mean him and Pat Boone doing “Smoke on the water”? That’s the soundtrack for hell!
Okay, it’s one thing to be saddled with a weird name at birth by a stoner rock-star parent; it’s another thing entirely to pick some ignorant shit on your own, to saddle yourself with as a full grown adult.
Okay, now I really am done talking about it, I just had to get that off my chest about weird celeb baby names.
Okay, you two, Mr & Mrs Contrary, seem to be tossing bombs over the Artic Circle over a variety of subjects.
::grabs popcorn:
I’m confused, I speak English and Spanish and I’m a bit baffled on how Ochocinco is grammatically incorrect? There’s nothing incorrect about it. Ocho cinco, eight five. Two words. Sure he’s missing a space, is that what people are referring to?
Are you suggesting that it should be Ochenta y cinco?! When you give somebody your phone number, do you tell them it’s three billion, three hundred and sixy three million, four hundred twenty two thousand, two hundred twenty one? No, you break the numbers down three three six, four two two, yadda yadda yadda …
Not sure what the issue is here. And yes, Angela is smoking, so it sucked to see her go.
Thanks for this, Fitz. Makes sense to me
I definitely agree with this. You know , people argue about the most ridiculous things sometimes. It’s kind of a pathetic way to vainly spread their knowledge lol .
I guess Fitz has a point. However, he changed his last name to numbers. It’s weird. If someone changed their name is Eightfive would you not laugh at that person? I would and I am.
I’d laugh once but then I’d move the hell on … I wouldn’t be bringing the shit up every single day =/
Maybe he knows how to say Ochenta y cinco but he probably thought that OchoCinco sounded better ! Some people might not agree but let’s steal a line from these reality shows .. It is what it is , he likes it and if others don’t , that’s their own personal problem
I bet he has no issues pronouncing eighty-five when the guy’s counting his money !
I think people bring it up because it was some ignorant shit to do, and black folks as a whole don’t need ANY help whatsoever with looking foolish.
That’s all.
I could really give less than a damn about Whats-His-Number or his boring ass show.
http://www.martinkrenn.net/projects/moving_on_0.jpg
I never heard him say that he was represting black people, though. Now, if people are too dumb to realize that this is nothing but pure entertainment and that it should be taken with a grain of salt , that’s the real issue right there
The show really is boring , though !
I know, it’s SOOO boring. We have not enough to even hate on. Boring. Blech.
He named himself Ochocinco because his jersey number is 85.
No one pronounces the number “eighty-five” as “eight five”. It’s different than a telephone number because it’s a single number. A telephone number is a sequence of individual numbers.
Agreed. But let’s move on
I’ve moved on to You’re Cut Off. No one took a crap on the floor or anything but it’s still pretty funny.
Gia is clearly a very emotionally troubled young woman. Two weeks ago she was the coolest one there, after weeks of being super bitch, then last week straight back to terrible bitch. Something’s going on….
These ladies remind me of something I heard Saturday that shocked me hard:
The invention of the camera brought on the age of Insecurity and self-conciousness, and destroyed the age of faith. (not in the religious sense)
I thought mirrors did that.
When were mires invented?
Can u imagine living in a world without mirrors? Shit I would never leave the house.
*mirrors.
Stupid iPad changed it.
