Traci Bingham, Serious Actress
This has been reposted from our TrashwireTV Blog
On this week’s Surreal Life tensions ran high as the lines between the a-list and the b-list became clearer.
Right off, Traci Bingham was annoying the living hell out of me. The challenge involved tennis, but because Traci is now on the b-list, she wasn’t allowed to play and had to play table tennis instead. She actually said, “Wow, this is what it must be like to be on the b-list!” Has no one told her that she’s lower than the b-list in reality? I mean, really, besides Surreal Life what the hell has Traci done lately? She is so unjustly in love with herself that it’s vomit inducing.
Verne Troyer and Chyna Doll made up, at least for now, and Ron Jeremy and Brigitte Nielson got a little closer and started a flirtation, proving that Brigitte is into just about any creepy little dude. At least Ron is cooler than Flavor Flav, so I guess it’s a step up.
After their night gambling and partying in Vegas, the cast returned to the house, where Chyna and Brigitte passed out in the b-list room. Rob Van Winkle, being the mischievous little shit that he is, decided to begin a frat-like “shaming” prank on the two b-listers by stacking random objects on or around them as they slept. Traci and Ron got in on the action too and Ron made a little dead on arrival tag for Brigitte’s toe. Chyna and Brigitte laughed their still-drunken asses off at the time, but later said they were offended and horrified by the prank. The hungover Brigitte explained that she was freaked out by the joke because she has a son with a brain tumor and anything about death really upsets her. Of course, she was overly dramatic and made a huge deal out of it, even threatening to leave the show. Thanks to Rob and Emmanuel Lewis, the situation was diffused and Brigitte decided to stay.
They all headed off to the challenge, a green screen acting competition, and got right into it. Rob was up first and had to do a quick scene where he was a sheriff in the Wild West. Next up was Sandy “Pepa” Denton, who did a little space scene involving aliens and asteroids. Andrea Lowell had an underwater scene involving a giant octopus. She took acting advice from Traci, who believes that she’s Meryl Streep apparently. CC Deville had a weather disaster movie scene where he had to be in a giant tornado/hurricane with a blow-up doll. Ron’s scene was a romance sequence that involved him kissing a dude in a blue suit. Manny had an Everest sequence where he had to stab someone in a Yeti costume, who turned out to be Chyna.
The winner of the competition was Rob. After so many wins, he’s set up quite a dynasty and the rest of the housemates are definitely harboring some major jealousy. They were even more green when Robin Leach told them that, by winning the challenge, Rob was also up for consideration for a role in Resident Evil III. Manny, Ron, and CC were sent to the “Back to Reality” challenge to see who would be put out to pasture in the b-list room. For the competition, they were shown morphed pictures of two celebrities and had to guess which two celebrities created this bastard offspring. Manny lost the challenge and became the final member of team b-list.
From this point on, the challenges will be done in teams and someone will be voted out of the house on each episode. I can’t wait to see how things play out.
