VH1! How on earth do you do it?! In the course of one episode, my opinions of two of the ladies on
Tough Love have completely flipped. It is baffling me to be honest. Now there really isn't anyone in the house that I despise anymore
though after watching previews for next week, I'm sure that will change. This week,
Steve Ward sent his love-less ladies to a sexy photo shoot to help them define what is sexy and what's slut-nasty.
Everyone actually did pretty well, with some of them even surprising Steve.
Jessa, who has seemed real timid in the previous episode, was all about bringing on the sexy. The one blond chick,
Natasha, that they never show even turned up the the heat.
Taylor also did a rock solid job, though she was pretty damn sure she'd nail it from the beginning.
Arian was super slutty to no ones surprise and
Jody acted like she was at a funeral.
The next day, after getting their feedback, the women were treated to a lingerie shopping spree and then a lingerie party at their house. Steve set them all up with a date, with
Abiola, Jessa,
Jacklyn, and Jody being set up with guys they've been seeing before. Taylor, who Steve set up with someone that was entirely her type, except that he wasn't loaded, ended up getting wasted and point-blank telling her date that she wasn't interested because he ain't got the funds.
After the party, out of nowhere, Jody helped put Taylor's sloppy drunk ass to bed. Which was kind of weird and touching because last week she spent the entire episode hating on her.
At group therapy, Steve told Jody she did awesome, which made up for her sh*t-show from last week. He then called Taylor down to the hot seat because she obvi did the worst. She ended up breaking down and explaining that the reason she wants a dude with dough is because she was left with nothing one time, with a child that she couldn't afford to raise and had to give up for adoption. CRIPES! How awful. Now, not only am I rooting for Jody, I'm also rooting for Taylor. It was a feel good episode all around.
Unfortunately, we weren't treated to very many Tough Love Rules of Dating this week. But you can check out the new ones after the jump...
We only got 2 rules this week. TWO. What the french VH1?! There's a crap ton left and we need to know them! Here's the list with the new ones having an asterisk * at the end of them.
1: Don’t be weird.
2: Communication is though.
12: Don’t go fishing for compliments
14: Ladies, if you want to kiss a guy, get a little closer. Send the guy some signals. *
19: No room for hypocrisy in dating. If you don’t date down, don’t expect dudes to.
21: Only text on a N2K basis
26: Approach everything with an open mind.
44: Keep the past in the past.
58: Don’t bring up your wedding plans
71: Most guys love a good catfight. But none of them want to date the “cat”.
73: Don’t try to outthink love. Love is emotional, not cerebral. *
75: Shut your yap. Don’t give too much information
76: First date is never the time to air your dirty laundry
If you think I missed any, please let me know in the comments. Who were you most impressed with this week? Does Taylor or Jody still make you want to punch yourself in the brain?
P.S. - Jody needs to stop saying the word dope to describe something/someone cool. Just no. And, did anyone else think it was weird when she was taking care of Taylor's wastey-face and she said that she's been in that situation before? Really Jody? Do you get super sloppy drunk on the weekends with your Blackberry and your Excel Spreadsheets?
