We’re back for another chapter in Bret Michael’s quest for love. The girls aren’t quite as rough looking as last years contestants, which had a high number of porn stars, strippers, and drunks. One contestant this year, Megan, was on Beauty and the Geek a few years back. I suspect that she and many of the others in this group are hungry for fame–not love.

Bret drives up to his rented mansion in his rented car, and immediately singles four girls out. The rest go in the house, and immediately get the White Russians flowing. The four castaways are his “VIPs”–they had thought they were all thrown out like the girls singled out in the first episode last year. They get a special suite, prizes, and alone time. The rest of the girls are jealous.

Next, Bret pulls out his camera and takes pictures of all of the girls. He thinks he can learn what they are like by the way they pose (e.g. confidence, arrogance, etc.). It doesn’t take long before a Ukrainian chick strips down–she has horrible lip injections, a big fake chest, and a horrible barb wire tattoo on her arm (didn’t that go out in the mid-1990s?). A couple of the girls were horribly self-conscious and lousy posers. Most of the girls had disgusting tattoos. Megan tongue kisses him, so the next girl wipes his mouth off before kissing him!

Cut to the backyard, where Megan is making out with another girl and the rest are getting drunk and partying. Big John announces that Bret will meet with his VIPs privately, and then he would meet with the group. Megan proceeds to tell him how great her modeling career is, however it is puzzling why she would come on a show like this if that were true.

Bret meets with the group, and kisses virtually every one of them on the lips. You would think he would be afraid of herpes or something worse. Some of the girls swarm him, and others are reserved and hold back. One of the ladies is 45 years old! I don’t see her lasting long in this group of 20 year old party girls.

Bret makes small talk with most of the girls, and is frequently bored. One of the girls gets plastered and passes out on the couch.

The girls figure out that there are 20 girls, and only 15 beds, so 5 are probably going home. It turns out they are right. At elimination, Megan is the first to get a pass. Since one is passed out, there are 19 vying for 15 passes. The 15th girl tells him she had wanted to go because she has an anxiety problem (reality tv is NOT for the anxiety prone), but now wants to say. It is unclear what she thinks she could possibly gain from this, other than trying to get sympathy. Eventually, he talks her into making a choice, and she decides to leave.

Since his 15th has bowed out, Bret has one more pass to give out. One of the older ladies get to stay, and one of his VIPs (who bored him to death in their one-on-one meeting) is tossed out. Bret asks the remaining girls to tell the passed out girl she was cut when she finally wakes up.
