Hamptons. Sorry, I'm not in this episode for a reason: I wasn't involved in any drama. I'll tell you what I remember of the hamptons, and then we'll see what kind of compromise we can come to about the shit you want to hear about. It was sunny and beautiful every day. I was happy because there was free food, good company, a warm pool, and the crew guy I was obsessed with was working the day shift. I was finally going to get the tan I had long awaited during those cold winter months. The first night was getting drunk and running around. The Tanky song became the theme of the weekend as a joke. The first morning a huge group of us played volleyball on the beach. I was sure this would make the show, but alas, not much I expect to make it does. We took long walks on the beach, swam in the pool, and barbequed. Coral and I raced each other in the pool with our floatation toys for about an hour. That was the most fun I had on the whole trip. We were giddy and stupid, and it rocked. Then Mike came in and played along. It was hard keeping "the wall" up with the crew at this point because it was almost over and we just wanted to talk to them. Coral then started making fun of all the production people who stood around. The producers and directors tried to stop her and act mad, but they couldn't stop laughing. I had to go under the water to control myself.

The rest of the night was a blur for me. Coral told me something about the tape Jisela made making fun of everyone, but I was totally out of it. Coral said she was going to talk to her about it because she thought it was fucked it that Jisela would make fun of the very people that invited her on this vacation. Jisela claims it was a joke. No one thought it was funny. Jisela is offended that my housemates yelled at her for acting the way she did. Her defense is that if you invite someone, then you need to accept the way that person is, and if you don't like it, then you shouldn't have invited them. She thinks Kevin was rude for telling her that what she did was rude and inappropriate. My opinion? I'm with Kevin on this one. You don't make jokes behind people's backs about how they are dorks. I was raised to believe that if you are someone's guest, you should be grateful and respectful to those who invited you. Bottomline. I don't think this is up for argument, and the fact my friends were all upset was enough to bother me, but again, since no one clued me into the details, I just went about my business. People started to say that Jisela was starting shit for more camera time. They said she was bitter that she was kicked off her show, so she wanted to do something that would guarantee she'd be a big star of our show. I was just annoyed that there was fighting at all.

Jisela is bitter about Coral's confrontation with her. From what I saw, Coral wasn't being rude or out of line. Coral was defending the people she loved in a mature way. Her tone was not obtrusive. She was being a good friend. No one knows until now that this is my opinion of this situation. Jisela doesn't know that I disagree with her, and why is that again? Say it with me, people….No one asked me.

I was really excited that Coral was so passionate about defending the boys because it was nice to see her care about them, especially after all they had been through. Problem is that here's Coral saying, "I love those guys like brothers," and does that make sense to you? I mean, it makes sense to me because I lived there, but did the audience really see those friendships develop? Coral, the boys, and I started spending a lot of time together, but you don't see that, so I was wondering if you think it's weird that she says that? Not, I wish they had showed more of it.

I went into the pool by myself and made up more songs about Nicole while I bobbed up and down on my tube. Nicole claims that was the funniest I had ever been. Sadly, you didn't get to see that and it wasn't on the behind the scenes tape. Damn, I really wanted to see it.

This confrontation between Jisela and Malik was interesting for me to watch. I'm glad Malik stood up for himself rather than not saying anything at all.

Nicole having sex is pretty funny ONLY because she made such a big deal out of how she never has sex and probably wouldn't for a long time. The bet Coral and I had with her was made months ago. We thought that by the reunion show, Nicole would have sex. Who knew she'd have it before the show was done taping? Don't know why she tried to deny it when it was pretty damn clear. Coral teasing her about it though at the end was awesome. Those jokes didn't stop for a while, and I never thought they got old.

Oh, here's something else: The last day at the Hamptons, Nicole pointed out that there were seven days left before we moved out. She had this great idea that each day would be dedicated to one roommate to celebrate them. That roommate would have a theme. That roommate would never have to answer the batphone (production phone) on his or her day. That person could ask other people to get things for them. That person would be king or queen.

I'll go into this more during the last episode.
