Charm School: Jessica Bursts Into Tears Because Everyone Thinks She's Perfect
On last night's episode of Charm School, the girls were asked to examine why Kristy Jo and Jessica (arguably the most normal girls in the house) are still in the competition if they don't need improving, and to decide which one should be sent packing. So basically, they had to decide which one of them was less of a trainwreck. They ultimately decided that Jessica had her shit together, and that she should leave. Despite the fact that this was a compliment, Jessica was extremely hurt by how the girls were "judging" her without knowing her, and spent the day crying, which led some to believe that maybe she really is a more of a mess than they realized.

Charm School: Women Get Wasted, Puke, Break Dishes, & Hock Loogies
Last night's episode of Charm School was the most awesome display of unladylike, drunken behavior since Bret took the girls to Vegas on Rock of Love. The girls had a challenge in which they were given makeovers to look really ugly, and were then sent to a bar. Then all hell broke loose when they got back to the house. Brandi C. hocked the thickest, mucous-y loogie into Destiny's face for no apparent reason other than to punctuate a screaming match. Then Heather took a time out from dry heaving to yell at Lacey about it, then Lacey followed her out of the room and called her a bitch (natch), and then Heather hurled a plate at her head.

Some Rock Of Love Girls Don't Know What "Décolletage" Means
On last night's episode of Charm School, the former Rock of Love contestants were given an etiquette class so that they wouldn't slurp soup or forget to wear panties in front of their visitor, a duchess from England. (Actually, she was an actress playing a duchess from England.) The girls were given a set of rules to memorize and follow, like how to properly say her name, when to curtsy, etc. One of the most important, "no duh," rules was that the duchess was not to be exposed to "another woman's décolletage." Oddly, for a group of women who often rely on their breasts, some of them didn't know what the word means. Clip above. -
Brown and Georgetown grad Johanna Cox is the front-runner on the CW's new show Stylista, and in an interview with the Washington Post, she talks about why she's always so calm and mature on camera: "I thought about my parents, and my current boss, and if I actually won, any future boss would see this. I watch so much reality TV, I knew how I would come across. So I think maybe this is the reward for having watched Rock of Love and all those horrible shows." [Washington Post]

Charm School Girls Promote Camel Toe
The whole reason that the ladies from Rock of Love are on Charm School is because they want to refine themselves from their crass ways. On last night's episode, their challenge was to create, manage and style a rock band, and have them perform one song. One team picked a girl vocalist, and when the stylist (a former stripper) was left to her own devices, she actually made the lead singer look as crass as she possibly good, pronounced camel toe and all. The girls didn't see a problem with any of this until the judges told them that they were "uncomfortable" watching her perform in that outfit. So it goes to show that you can take a stripper out of the strip club, but you can't take the stripper out of her fashion sense. Clip above. More » -

Charm School Girls Wear Their Favorite Outfits; Cleavage Ensues
It's safe to say that the women from the two seasons of Rock of Love aren't exactly Coco Chanel. Most of them wear outfits that I've seen for sale on the Atlantic City boardwalk. On last night's episode of Charm School, the girls were told to wear their favorite outfits to their lesson, so they could get pointers on how to look like a lady. Frankly, I don't want them to look like ladies. They're perfect in their favorite outfits, which 1.) rarely involve bras or 2.) only involve bras. Clip above. More » -

Real World Alum Believes Girls Are Only Good For Doing Dishes
It's not surprising that those in the Real World/Road Rules universe are sexist assholes. The casts are commonly comprised of people in the rigid gender roles of drunk, sexy girls in bikinis and drunk, beefcake-type guidos with stupid hair, and whatever token drunk gay person producers decide to add on. With Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island, I've found myself totally disgusted with a guy named "Johnny Bananas" for the way he's talked to all the other women. He repeatedly calls them "stupid bitches" and "femnazis" (he can't even get the term right) for no other reason than that they question his own rudeness and stupidity. What's even more disgusting is this girl Paula, who buys into Johnny's chauvinism, and demeans the other women just as much so she can be the boy's favorite. Clip above. More » -

Charm School Ladies Have Weird Ideas About STDs
If there were a few things that we thought we could safely assume about the Charm School/Rock of Love girls, it's that they love booze and that they must be pretty well-versed on STDs, seeing as how the majority of them have worked in the sex industry in some capacity. Well, they do love alcohol. However, judging from this booze-fueled clip in which Brandi M, Inna and Heather are gossiping about the other girls, their ideas about how someone can catch STDs, specifically crabs, are about as fuzzy as their memories of this conversation. (Luckily the cameras were around to catch everything.) -

Charm School Girls Take Issue With Being Called "Trailer Park" Or "Fat"
Charm School is so much better than Rock of Love, because we don't have to pretend that the girls even give a crap Bret Michaels. Instead, we can just revel in their fake boobs, shitty extensions, and various shortcomings, as they try to determine who is the trashiest girl. On last night's episode, my personal fave from RoL 1, Brandi M. got into it with my I Love Money faves Brandi C. and Megan when the latter two accused Brandi M. of being "trailer trash." And while I love me some airbrushed clothing (I grew up on the Jersey shore), it was kinda hard for Brandi M. to debate them on this when she was standing there in the classic TP uniform of an airbrushed wifebeater and short shorts.
