Larissa is Gone From "Charm School"

It was a sad night last night because Larissa, one of my favorite girls from Charm School, got voted off. In the end, Larissa's bad attitude, backstabbing and constant plotting bit her in the ass and she was pretty much thrown out of the Charm School house. It looked like she would get away with hiding Leilene's picture under Schatar's bed, but she ran her mouth, blamed it all on Shay and thus her downfall began. Once Shay found out that Larissa blamed it on her, all hell broke loose at Mo'nique's surprise party. Larissa got defensive and turned her back completely on Shay. At the elimination ceremony, the male Dean (I can't remember his name for the life of me) told Larissa that she was psychotic (I can kind of see his point but since when is he a psychiatrist) and Mo'nique practically told Larissa that she was sick of her.

Before all of this drama, the girls had another commandment to learn and for the challenge was to be interviewed by a celebrity. It turns out this celebrity was the fabulous Miss New York, who, as Mo put it, "is the Wicked Witch of the West to these girls." I loved Brooke/Pumkin's reaction when New York walked into the room and then asked her "So, have you spit on anyone lately?" The only one who didn't have a problem with New York was Saaphyri (who wasn't there long enough to meet her) and she easily, and fabulously, won the challenge.

Saaphyri's Rules of Debate

1. Cut 'em down low
2. Hit 'em from the bottom of the waist
3. Cut 'em off whenever they talk
4. Make sure they don't talk back

Haha, the ladies of Charm School were in top form this week as they learned the rules of proper debate from a college debate team and then debated each other. Saaphyri was hilarious as she called the rules "stupid" and came up with the "real" rules of debate. During her debate, she cut-off Schatar repeatedly and didn't give her a chance to speak at all. Later on, when Leilene was having a mental breakdown after Larissa called her a bad mother, she quipped "Whoa, you mad ain't you?"

The best quote of the night, however, was when Mo'nique was yelling at Larissa: "Not too long ago, Mo'nique was Larissa and someone had to dig in my ass..." I want to start quoting that all the time, but it doesn't really work out of context.

Larissa/Bootz Does it Again

I am so excited about last Sunday's episode of "Charm School" because Larissa delivered another classic quote that I am going to be using all the time now. When describing Schatar, she said:

She's a whack ass bitch, with a whack ass weave, and I don't like her whack-ass ass.

Ahhhh, that is golden. I don't know how she keeps coming up with these lyrical quotes that transcend the classes. In case you have forgotten, Larissa is the one who came up with my favorite quote from last season of "Flavor of Love": "You wish I was a ho...If I was a ho, I'd be a top-dolla ho."

As much as I love Larissa however, the person I'm rooting for is Saaphyri. She has the farthest to come (she got into a fight and kicked off so early on "Flavor of Love" that she didn't even get a nickname) and I think she can do it. And here's one of the main reasons I love her- a clip from right before she got kicked off of "Flavor of Love" where she is having a heart to heart with the bitch she got in a fight with. Enjoy!

5 Great Things About "Flavor of Love: Charm School"

I've been excited for the idea of Charm School ever since I heard about it months ago. I mean what is better than the trashiest women on reality TV competing to become the classiest? I know VH1 is exploiting these women like no other, but I will watch anything they put these amazing ladies in. With that being said, the series premiere did not disappoint and I have a feeling this could be my favorite series concerning the whole Flavor of Love crew.

1. Mo'nique. Before seeing this, I didn't know what comedienne Mo'nique knew about being classy or why she was chosen to be the host. Now that the premiere is over, I realize that she is the perfect person to host. I'm not too familiar with her work, but I will definitely be seeking out some of her stand-up work because she is hi-larious! Whether it's when she's surprised that the "tough" girls start bawling right after she says hello (and she is forced to become "Mo'prah") or when she suspected Thela of smoking weed before having a meeting with her in her office, Mo'nique provides deliciously insightful commentary on these lovely women. (As an aside, remember that fucked up dream I mentioned in my previous post? Well, Mo'nique also made an appearance...strange, huh?)

2. It's surprisingly emotional
. Oh my God, I was totally surprised at the ceremony where the girls got rid of their Flavor of Love nicknames at how up-lifting it all was. And when it came to Saaphyri I almost got a lump in my throat because she got kicked off of Flavor of Love so early that she didn't even get a chance to get a nickname. Just to hear her say "I didn't get a nickname" almost tore my heart. At this point, she is totally my favorite to win.

3. Larissa (aka Bootz) and Shay (aka Buckeey)
. Some of my favorite moments of Flavor of Love 2 came from these two outrageous women (Bootz: "You wish I was a ho...if I was a ho, I'd be a top dolla ho" and Buckeey almost pushing Krazy off of the roof were classics). So, naturally I was excited that they were being brought back for Charm School and they haven't disappointed yet. Within the first 10 minutes, they were threatening roommate Brooke (aka Pumkin) with a beat down if she spit on them. What a great way to start off a show and I hope they get more crazy moments.

4. Becky (aka Buckwild) is still as obnoxious as ever. Mo'nique was surprised that Buckwild's real name is Becky, because she tries to act black and yet has the whitest name in the house. She still has that phony accent and is forever trying to keep it real, and as long as she does that she will keep me entertained.

5. New York makes an appearance later on in the season
. There were previews for what's going to happen this season and later on, New York comes on to interview the girls about their progress or something (which is pretty ironic because she is not an ideal definition of classy herself, but whatever). And, from the looks it, she tears shit up and makes Larissa apologize for something and then asks Pumkin, "So, have you spit on anyone lately?" Haha, priceless. I love me some New York and can't wait for this episode (maybe by then she'll be promoting I Love New York 2 since she got dumped by that douche bag Tango on the reunion show).
