Next is a picture of Lisa with several boxes of food.  Kevin chides her, “He didn’t just catch you eating, he caught you GRUBBING.”  While it is kind of gross that Lisa is eating with her bare feet propped on the table, I hardly think two separate containers of foods counts as a binge.  Hasn’t this guy ever heard of side dishes?

Lisa appreciates the pep talk, “I’m really uninhibited so I could probably get into a lot of trouble.”  True, yet somehow I doubt this will make in impact on her at all.  In addition to being uninhibited, she is also pretty oblivious.

Back at the house, Kim and Nicole are in the confessional bitching about everyone else.  Kim brags, “We’re like the only sane ones. It’s like we’re sane, Nik is sane (but a little boring). Then we’ve got Lisa, alcoholic--  Nicole interrupts, “Alcoholic and insane!” 

Kim agrees, “Yes, Lisa is insane anyway. And Jayla is an ugly, annoying, bad joke deliverer.”  Nicole adds, “But a wee bit sane.”  Kim agrees, “Almost too sane…but not.”  Then she wonders, “Who else can we talk about?”

Kim explains why she’s spending so much time with Nicole. “You need one person to feel close to…if I was to lose Nicole at this point, I can’t imagine what the next week would be like for me.”

To show her undying devotion, Kim serenades Nicole in bed with a sad song on her harmonica about her “almost elimination” last week. Then she tells Nicole, “This is a song about if Jayla had been eliminated” and plays happy, peppy music. Nicole looks on, slack-jawed, from her cocoon of blankets.

Bre feels like she’s walking on eggshells around Kim. “If I leave the room, are you gonna say the same thing about me?”  As if to prove her point, Bre asks Jayla if she talks about her behind her back. (Who would admit to this?) 

Jayla says she does not, but we all know it’s just because she is too busy slamming Nik behind HER back. Jayla doesn’t have time to talk about you, Bre!  Bre says she doesn’t talk about Jayla either, “but I can’t say that for some of my other friends in here.” Jayla agrees that Kim has been the ringleader when it comes to gossip.

This really pisses Bre off, and she rants “That bitch ain’t right!”  Bre wags her finger and whispers, “I have a problem with her.”  Hey, isn’t she talking about Kim behind her back?

Later, Nik is calling a friend from the confessional room with Bre.  Kim barges in and demands that Nik hand her the phone. She starts talking to Nik’s friend who has no idea who she is.  I hate it when people do this. It is so 3rd grade and awkward. What is the point, anyway?

Kim identifies herself as “the gayest person in the house.”  Then she launches into a rant about how Nik is so careful and doesn’t tell anyone anything about herself.  “It’s like her mouth is stapled shut.”

Nik is hurt by this. She says, “Kim doesn’t respect me because thinks I’m not as open as her and I’m trying to hide the situation, which I’m not.”

What “situation?”  Remember last week when Kim and Nik were all googly-eyed over Eva? Does Nik have a GAY “situation?”

Cut to Lisa, who is now eight years old, in the other room. She’s bored and restless, whipping a rope around and breaking things in the house. “I’m an antsy-pantsy person. I’m on the move. Let’s go!”

More Tyra Mail arrives, telling them “You’re on your way, but SNAP! One more fierce photo before you go.” The girls are put out by this development.  Nicole is ready to get out of the house. She says that everyone is acting crazy. Cut to sepia-toned shots of Jayla running around topless, Lisa knocking over wine glasses and spewing baby talk in a bathtub full of bubbles, and Kim dancing around in a mask.  Ok, I’m sold. Let’s deport these girls!
