Not sure if I heard it but someone said something about 'New York' at the Charm School Finale on The Elle Word Radio Show last night.
Or, it might have been the Charm School Reunion Show.
Anyways, I can't recall with certainty because the show was 2 hours long. There was just so much information that I simply cannot summarize for you.
I can tell you there is a potential spoiler for the Charm School Reunion so be forewarned.
But much of the show was devoted to Larissa's ex-friends.
There was some confusion as to their credibility but as you listen you'd come to the general conclusion that they definitely know Larissa.
And if you want to know why they are her ex-friends, I urge you to download the entire podcast but maybe it has something to do with Larissa calling the LAPD over text-messages; allegedly.
Listen to the podcast.
E-Note: I am back at Q-Gasm
If you believe the rumor, tonight is Gabrielle's last show on 'The Elle Word'; but don't blame me, I had nothing to do with it.If all goes well there will be three guests on tonight's show so get there on time to make your calls.
The first guest is Lyric Daniel, a publicist and fashion writer, who will speak on what's HOT, fashion-wise, for the summer and fall seasons. Time is limited but she may also touch on her role as a publicist.
If you are a slave to fashion the first 30 minutes of the show is devoted to you.
The second and third guests are friends of Larissa 'Bootz' Aurora and they will tell you everything you need to know about Larissa and maybe a few things you don't want to know.
These ladies were in attendance at the BET Awards and the Charm School Reunion so we'll try to get them drunk and get as much information from them as we can.
Show starts at 9:00pm EST (6:00pm PST)

Los Angeles, CA - June 25, 2007 - (BlackPressMagazine.com) - As proof of their popularity, the Charm School girls hosted a hot party in Los Angeles, CA on June 24, 2007. The club reached capacity and even some of the nation's most important stars couldn't gain entrance.
Award winning producer, songwriter and singer Ne-Yo and Mario were turned away, not once, but twice after club workers failed to recognize them. Black Press Magazine's DC Livers was on hand for the party that included Charm Schoolers Saaphyri and Shay "Buckeey" Johnson.
Some of the lucky celebrities who made it into the party were 'newcoming' rap sensation H-Flo whose new track with Jazzy Pha "Look at your boy" on the 'Philthy Rich Records' label is doing well. H-Flo was joined by Lil' Jon and others inside the one story building that featured trendy furniture and sexy drinks.
Wearing skin-tight jeans, a tiny shirt that stopped just above her belly button, Buckeey Johnson showed off her video vixen dance moves as Saaphyri rocked a black dress to match her hair.
Earlier that day, Saaphyri participated in the 2007 BET Awards media day ceremony the next day stealing the show by wearing a body hugging white top with a built-in corset that delighted the fellas as cleavage spilled over, painted on jeans that showed off her 4 plus feet legs and complimented by a part of gold boots that went up just above her knee. She was joined by Asian beauty Leilene whose speech was truly heartfelt and well received. The girls managed to impress a room filled with journalists before posing for photos on the main stage.
We also caught up with ousted Charm School contestant Schatar a.k.a. Hottie for an exclusive and emotional podcast interview that was so unexpected that you won't believe it until you hear it. Larissa "Bootz" Hodge Aurora attended the BET Awards wearing a pretty hot pink dress, light brown hair and strappy-sandals.
While in Los Angeles, Buckeey made an appearance in the video taping of former co-star Deelishis' video for her new single, "Rump Shaker."

Tonight is Gabrielle's penultimate show before she "quits"
Don't ask me why, or if it's one of those Jay-Z type retirements. I am just reporting what she said...
Maybe you guys can convince her to stay, but those who were there last evening, probably know better.
Anyways, tonight's show is about the Charm School Reunion (filming today, I remind you) and the fallout from the BET Awards Show. Please make an effort to tune-in.

This is a surprise because I thought we wouldn't hear from Aurelius for another week.
What's weird is I thought about asking him to do this very video but I missed his radio-show Rayz Comedy and the timing just wasn't right to say "dude what about a video on the four finalists of Charm School?"
Anyways, alls well that ends well...here's Aurelius

A behind the scenes look at the Trends video, 'Sexual Frustration'
Yesterday, on the spur of the moment, Gabrielle hosted Karaoke Night Pt2 on her radio show, so you might have missed it.
The show wasn't the best she's ever done because I was on for much too long (a bad sign) but there were some great moments so it's worth a listen. 'Foofie' called in twice, and sang songs from Beyonce and Mary J Blige; 'Light Stone' sang three songs I think and there were a few others as well.
Near the middle of the show (minute 21) 'Sweet' called to discuss the absence of major news coverage of African-American missing persons and particularly Trinidad-born Stepha Henry, who's been missing since May 29th. The Brooklyn girl and honors graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice visited a nightclub in South Florida and was last seen entering a black sedan. (doesn't sound good does it?)
Besides that, five of us chatted way past the hour that's broadcast LIVE and one of the topics was "is Mr New York more hated than New York herself?"
I guess we can debate that in the comment box, but first, listen to the show
Use the player below or go directly to Karaoke Night Pt2.
It's Monday and you are bored so Gabrielle decided to throw a party for you. Join her on The Elle Word for Karaoke Night Pt2 and if it's anything as the 1st night it'll sure to be fun.
All you need to do is call-in and sing a song, or rap or whatever.

It's been a week since Elle departed to her retreat with the threat that she may never again host, The Elle Word, but luckily for us she chose to carry on.
This show had everything including a bit of banter between Elle and me. But after 30 minutes, Somethin was not heard from.
Finally we got on to her as she enjoyed herself at a party and our featured guest promised to contact us in 5 minutes time in quieter surroundings. That turned out to be the bathroom (insert joke here) and after 36 mins of LIVE broadcast, Somethin took over and probably ensured this program will be the most talked about Elle Word Show, ever.
At least until we persuade Larissa to return.
Elle's interview with Somethin.
I've added the third place winner to the Charm School Final Episode spoiler.
It's up to you to view it or not
Charm School Spoiler (Final Episode)
Somethin is the guest and she wants to rebut Larissa's statement last week that Somethin wrote to her, words that suggested she wanted to have 'relations'. You know this is going to be crazy.
Now here's the catch with the Jeff and Steve show. They need you to call in with a phone-number of someone you want to prank and choose one of the characters they use to effect the prank-calls. The characters are Joanne (an old New York lady, she may be Jewish), Roseanne (a retired New york prostitute) and Shynitta (an upstate New York hooker who can get real nasty if you bring shit to her)
No surprise whatsoever that rock-star Bret Michaels is attracting some fine-ass women to his VH1 Reality series, 'The Rock of Love'. Rockstars and models have hooked up since time immemorial.
But our latest Rock of Love girl is more than a model, she's a Playboy Playmate (August 2005), so you know there will be lots of nudes pictures.
It's not the same though, nude Playboy shots don't give you the same thrill as the candid nudes we saw of Nibblz, Somethin, Leilene or Toasteee.
Oh shit; I haven't mentioned her name, have I?
Introducing Rock of Love contestant #4, Tamara Witmer
Incidentally she's dating, Bruce Willis, who's like 168 years old, so I guess we can't hate on Cristal.

Leilene made the rounds today, appearing on 'Hot97 with Miss Jones' and 'The Wendy Williams Experience', and both hosts went out of their way to suggest Leilene is the winner of Charm School.
Word is Leilene neither confirmed nor denied, so you guys have to wait just like everyone else.
Regarding the interview itself, she repeated all of what she said to Gabrielle during her time on The Elle Word Show; so you missed nothing.
But, now that we have brought up the subject, The Elle Word Show returns tomorrow with a program after lunch. Somethin' is the guest and she is mad upset at Larissa's assertion that she wanted to have relations with the Charm School star.
It's gonna be wild so expect some drama.
Cheers.

From the comment box:
...what I really came to share with you is that your girl Serious has a
boyfriend and I am stressin', "the boy", because he is barely 19. I live in Atl. and listen to her radio show faithfully, and it was the topic for 2 hours on 107.9 that Serious is dating a college student 6 years younger than her. Well,I did my homework and his name is Billy Humphrey and he plays basketball for the University of Georgia. He is on her top friends on MySpace. People that called into the show had mixed feelings about it. what do you guys think? (I think it's straight zany and mad ridiculous)
From Cristal's MySpace comments (dudes are trippin' out already):
CRISTAL...About ya'll's show today...No, I din't think it's wrong for an
older woman to "hangout" with a younger man. I jus' wish you'd have told me,Cristal. If ever you meet someone & you want to go with or marry him, PLEASE send me a message or post a comment on my page. My feelings for you are deeper & stronger than you know. You think I love you only as a fan, I want to be your man. Maybe it isn't meant to be though, 'cause you said you just want to have fun, & I want a serious relationship. PEACE!!!

From Bubo the Hater:
"Whiteboy is 25, perhaps he and the other confused person on these FOL bastard shows could get together and have a baby or even twins.
If Buckwild and Whiteboy had twins, they could name them Wesley and Whoopi."

DC Livers isn't letting anyone slip by. Today's interviewee is Tariq Nasheed who schooled the Charm School ladies on the types of men, Player, Professional, Pushover and Parolee.
At this rate it won't be long before DC Livers interviews the lady who bought Saaphyri's Ugg boots.

As is always the case, it is your choice to click or not, to read the spoiler for the Charm School Finale (Episode 9)
But, should you choose to read it, do not spoil it for anyone else by revealing or hinting in the comment box.
I am revealing just the 4th place winner, today, and will reveal 3rd place next week Sunday. The final two will not be revealed because you guys can wait a few days for the first airing of the Charm School Finale.
Remember, I cannot testify to the truthfulness of this spoiler but as you are well aware, they have all been spot-on.
That said, go to the spoiler for Episode 9
Not only that, she's 5' 10" and has already slapped me down once for the day when I asked her if all this rock-stuff was just her weekend personality. (she didn't take too kindly to that. But we all know I am a judgemental fool)
Unless Joan Jett is a contestant I cannot conceive of any woman who'd top her.

I'm guessing Bret Michaels copied Flavor Flav and named the contestants. Thus far we've met 'Legz' and 'Spades' (smh at the unoriginality of it all)
The third contestant I'll introduce you to was named 'Viola'.
I've made contact with the ladies from 'The Rock of Love' starring Bret Michaels and first up is a lady named Magdalena from Krakow, Poland.
Her MySpace lists her as Magdalena Legz and you can see why....do men make love to this woman? Or do they just hump her legs?
Today at 6:30pm EST, I Love New York 2 hopeful Darnell Wright speaks with Licious on Q-SEX radio. I have heard this guy so many times over the last week, I feel he's my split personality or something. But, I am certain Licious will extract a side of him we have not yet discovered. (damn, that sounds so gay)
So, join me and hundreds of others in the Q-SEX chatroom for the LIVE interview with Darnell Wright.
Later on, you can show support to the Flawless Rose as she presents a show on dating and relationships.
Last week Gabrielle T and Black Rican interviewed Larissa Bootz Aurora on The Elle Word Show and it has become the most popular show of all. At last count almost 5000 downloads of the 80 minute interview was recorded.
But, not many of you have the patience to sit through an hour of anything that doesn't include Mr. Marcus or Cherokee; so Rican extracted the opening segment and presents a 9 minute 50 seconds version that's pure drama.
You'll hear Larissa say Mo'Nique was jealous of her size and Krazy's and Cristal's too.
You'll hear Larissa say Shay was fake and obssessed with "camera time"
You'll hear her say she is going to "check" Shay and Schatar at the 'Charm School Reunion Show'.
You'll hear her say Somethin' wanted to have sex with her (a charge Somethin disputes)
And there's more....
If you've read this blog you'd know it's stained with drama. It's been that way since like, forever; and it's one of the reasons why I keep to myself and try not to get too caught up in the intrigue.
Anyways, there has been an ongoing rift among Flawless and a few others that's clearly gone too far. In an effort to make things cool again, Flawless asked me to publish her apology....
~To Everyone
I know I have been acting really out of place, taking things a little to far but I am writing this to issue an apology to everyone who has seen me or heard me in a way that I shouldn't have acted.
I want to wipe the slate clean.
I'm asking that everyone can forgive and forget this and lets keep doing what we do best. And that's keeping the readers and listeners entertained.
Once again I am sorry

Aurelius Video Recap for Episode 8
The Elle Word at midnight EST, today.
Good evening readers,
Former glam rocker Bret Michaels of the uber-hot, pop-rock group Poison has been given a show titled The Rock of Love
Bret Michaels and the producers have selected 21 girls from which one will be ultimately chosen to become the Rock of Love winner. (see cast photo below)
Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to scrutinize, familiarize and recognize the selected ladies and hunt down their MySpace accounts and cellphone-numbers before passing them on to me.
If you are caught during the operations, I will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Now forget you ever saw this post (Mission Impossible theme song begins)

Words cannot describe the pain Aurelius experienced to provide to you, this Charm School video recap. He was so overwhelmed by Brooke's expulsion that he threatened to quit his recap segment and retire them to the video cemetery.
But, I did what I do best and persuaded him to keep soldiering on...because this is bigger than any woman (dramatic music begins) this is life!
I totally forgot the time of today's show and now I am late.
Tonight it's karaoke night on Gabrielle's Show but it's A capella, unless you provide music of your own.
It's simple, just call and sing or rap whatever you want to and we'll take it from there...
Show starts at 9pm EST which means it's already started...

Fox and Donald Trump are developing "Lady or a Tramp," a reality-competition series in which girls in love with the party life will be sent to a charm school where they will receive a stern course on debutante manners. Trump will exec produce the show and possibly come on air to evaluate contestants' progress, insiders said.
RDF USA will produce the show, with chief exec Chris Coelen and exec veep of development Greg Goldman, Bruce Toms (Nanny 911) and Trump Prod's prexy, Andy Litinsky joining Trump as exec producers.
If the show gets greenlit, it could be on the air as early as mid-season.
Series, which will combine the competition and self-improvement aspects of reality television with the sizzle of the tabloids, is an adaptation of the British series "Ladette to Lady".

Brooke 'Pumkin' Thompson responds to last nights Episode of Charm School...
First of all, I would like thank my fans who have taken the time to email me concerning my elimination from Charm School! You guys amaze me and always have my back! I fucking love all you!
How many people go out, party, drink, kiss someone, and live it up? Pretty much everyone!!!! It's not like I fucked the guy! I kissed him! Wow! Monique must have some pretty insane views if she thinks that kissing a guy is whorish!!!!
Also, how the hell is my kissing a guy and getting drunk whorish, when dumb ass Smiley (Leilene) went out in Hollywood and stuck her fake ass titties in all the guys faces while trying to sell perfume????
Exactly! Did Monique say shit about that? HELL No!
I am just fucking sick of how Monique was trying to portray me! She had a horrible choice of words! Also, that was my first time in the bottom three . . .so that should say something about me!!! And if we all acted like Smiley and sat on a couch all night talking to a man, we would not have a fucking tv show with good ratings! So, your welcome Monique for my partying ass making the ratings go up!
I am a California girl who knows how to party! So, if ya all wanna party with me hit me up LOL!!!!! I love you guys and thank you again for the sweet emails that have poured in! You guys rock! And remember, party all you want!!!!! Just be safe about it! I love you all!

I can't reveal the former contestant of Flavor of Love who said I am "rude and racist" but if you click across to the radio show 'Buckwild Sunday' you'll hear one of Rebecca Buckwild Johnston or Bettie Nibblz Brown refer to me as an "asshole."
Besides the playful insult (she better be playin') there's much to enjoy as they offer their opinions of New York (bad), Toasteee (worse), Larissa (the worst) and the probability of Charm School 2.
Seriously though, thanks to Rebecca and Bettie for the shout-out. Becky, I owe you a cheque
Picture Courtesy: Buckwild's MySpace
Larissa is gone and that means the show is a lot less interesting and a lot less sexy. Someone, or maybe 'sometwo' need to step up their drama game and the scene opens with Becky -who's feeling the pressure- in a scrumptious red top, and Shay -murdering a yellow sweatpants- reminiscing on last evening's event.
Incredibly, Shay seems indifferent and entirely unburdened by her part in the theft of Leilene's picture. 'Buckwild' says it's "very sad to see" Larissa take herself out of the running for the $50000, but we know better.
Before Becky's nose grew any longer, Mo'Nique interrupted with an intercom announcement that the ladies were to assemble -in full uniform- at the Grand Hall for their next lesson.
The next lesson will be governed by the 9th Commandment of Charm School, 'Unless thou can play, thou will be played', and it focuses on relationships. A much needed lesson, I dare say.
Mo'Nique then introduces the guest Dean, Tariq King Flex Nasheed; the author of "Play or be played", "The Art of macking" and "The Mack within" (he also made an appearance on the MTV show, 'Made').
Becky says he looks like a pimp and she likes pimps (what made him look like a pimp, Becky?), whilst Shay is pleased he's cute because "you pay more attention when they're cute."
Tariq is an entertaining guy and you should listen to his podcasts when you have the opportunity, but today's lesson is about "the 4 P's", the 'Players', 'Professionals', 'Pushovers' and 'Parolees'.The first 'P' has 80% charisma, 10% aptitude, 5% sensitivity and 5% profitability and he is the Player.
(cue Flavor of Love 1 video of Brooke in the shower with Hoopz and Flavor Flav)
Brooke says she's hoping she comes out of the day being able to "spot who the right guy is for me"
The second 'P' is the 'Pushover', "he is 92% sensitive" and is all about catering to a woman's needs.
(cue video of Flavor Flav and Buckwild all cozy and shit in a gondola)
The next 'P' is the 'Parolee', "these are the thugs, the gangstas, the hustlers, the guys who know to handle themselves in the bedroom" (where I come from a guy who handles himself is a dork; but whateva, I am no expert)
(cue video of Shay tongue-kissing Flav in his bedroom)
Shay is quite familiar with this type, "I was drawn to a parolee, because he did things well" (she giggles. I like Shay)
The fourth and final 'P' is the 'Professional', "at 90% profitability he is about his money"
(cue video of Flavor Flav with Leilene)
Tariq asks if anyone has dated a professional and only Leilene responds (just 1 lady out of 5? That's badddd)
Leilene says the person was her ex-husband and he was actually a professional asshole. The relationship ended because he wanted her to be another type of woman; a woman befitting the wife of a professional. (how dare he? For fucks sake Leilene; you are a stripper! That's alright when you're single and on the honeymoon night, but after that? NO!)
Tariq advises the ladies that there are guys with the positive characteristics of the 4 P's and that guy is the "Urban Renaissance Man." The Urban Renaissance Man "has swagger, but he's about the education. These guys can be somewhat sensitive but they still got a little gangsta in 'em. These guys are suave and mentally stimulating like the Playa and they know how to satisfy you sexually like the parolee" (tell me that ain't me he's talking about, lol)
Brooke wonders if you have to sleep with every man to find out which one is the UR man (and she wasn't joking)
Mikki Taylor then states the lessons learnt today need to be applied at the inaugural 'Charm School Prom' where the ladies will be charmed by men representing all of the 4 P's and the Urban Renaissance Man.Mikki goes on to say, "at the end of the evening, the girl who picks, the true Urban Renaissance Man, will be safe from being expelled at the next Elimination"
Having donated much of their clothes to Charity (see Episode 6), the Charm School hierarchy provided traditional prom dresses, in various colors, for the ladies.
Shay chose powder-blue (y'all know I don't actually know the colors, right?), Leilene grabbed the pink (and looked quite pretty), Brooke went for red (she would, wouldn't she?), Saaphyri wore the black (didn't look good) and Becky opted for bone-white.
(now that I think about it,they weren't chosen because the girls are all different sizes)
Prom Night
On the night Mo'Nique introduces the ladies to the "gorgeous gentlemen", and for once, Saaphyri and I are in sync when she says "what da hell? I feel bamboozled. It's a bunch of ugly looking fools up in here"
The guys are -forgive me if I get the names wrong...
- Joey and Dajuan -The Players. (smh at a grown ass man named Dajuan. That ain't right)
- Owen - The Professional (he's aight)
- Brandon and Tiaunte - The Pushovers (there oughta be law banning black people from naming their kids)
- Sun Ra, aka Seashell - Parolee (your name is already fucked up and you choose Seashell as your alias? smh)
- Mark - Urban Renaissance Man (who says? Is this a joke?)
Mo'Nique excuses herself and joins Keith Lewis, Mikki and Tariq in a private-room wherefrom they can view the ladies interact with the men.
As the evening unfolds, all but one of the ladies decide on a strategy of one-on-one time with each man. The exception is Leilene who latches herself onto Owen and won't let go.
Once again Leilene extols the value of stripping. This time she says she's been stripping since she was 17 and the experience has taught her how to read people (you've been dumped, hit and divorced, Are you dyslexic?)
It didn't take long before they left the group for private time.
Inside Becky is chatting with the 'Pushover, Tiaunte and Brandon. But Brooke is talking with her body, grinding on Tiaunte; before questioning Dajuan.
Dajuan says he's a massage therapist and does "backs, shoulders, ankles, toes" but Brooke gets to the point quickly, "what about the vagina area?" (Aurelius, this isn't a girl you can take home to your mother)
I guess the answer was 'Yes', because Brooke took him to the kitchen to cook up a lil somethin somethin. To her credit, Brooke correctly identified Dajuan as the 'Player' but according to her he was the best looking guy there, so, kick rocks.
Speaking of rocks, we learn from a conversation between Shay and Sun Ra that his nickname seashells comes from his using seashells on the end of his braids (maybe he used them to hear the ocean during his 8 years in prison, lol)
Meanwhile, forget the search for the Urban Renaissance Man, Leilene is 'tryna' find a husband. She and Owen discuss her love for movies and her choices are 'Dude, where's my car' and 'Revenge of the Nerds' (Oh dear! Girl you are supposed to say anything by Kurosawa; or some shit like that)
She says, "she's having the best time of her life. This is the man of my dreams" (I love a woman who's easy to please)
Inside Brooke is showing her intellectual side, asking Marc, "do you like to fuck or do you like to make love?"
But she was bored by him (I don't blame her) and retreated to the fountain for a Malibu shot poured at the top by the Parolee as she drank from the bottom-end. As she did so the poor dude was trying to be clever with comments like, "see how Daddy give it to ya" and "...swallow it, swallow it baby" (after 8 years in the 'pen' anything involving a woman will get you excited)
Watching all that, Becky was moved to comment, "Brooke got down dirty; if it looks like a ho, smells like a ho, taste likes a ho; it's probably a ho"As the night winds down, the Urban Renaissance man sits alone.
Brooke is just getting started though; drunk and randy, she finds herself on the dance floor.
You'd think that was the end of the drama for the night but Sun Ra (the Parolee) and Saaphyri got into a fight after he said, "I don't like big tits because it got stretch marks on them"
That set it off with Sun Ra calling her Miss Weave and using and old 'Sanford and Son' joke that they can use her face to make 'gorilla cookies'.
With the prom threatening to boil over, Mo'Nique calls an end to the party.
Results
It was now time to announce the winner(s) and Tariq examined each lady's selection.Becky and Brooke chose Tiaunte and Shay and Saaphyri chose Brandon, both of whom were pushovers. Leilene opted for Owen, of course; the Professional.
That meant they all failed but did they, really? I'd think most women would be happy to choose a pushover or a professional.
Next morning the ladies are nervous that none are exempt from elimination and Mo'Nique's announcement to check the Bulletin Board for instructions, adds to the intrigue.
The instructions mandate the ladies to vote the person whom best and worst, represented Charm School at the Prom. The lady with the most votes as the best representative will be exempt and the opposite will be called to the carpet along with two of the remaining three.
Votes are to be placed in a suggestion box downstairs.
The ladies quiz each other on why they ought to receive a vote for 'best representative', but the alliances are forming. Saaphyri and Becky agree to swap votes and work on Leilene to vote positively for either of them and use her 'worst representative' vote against Brooke.
Brooke thinks, "Leilene doesn't have a mind of her own" and partners Shay to share votes and hopefully convince Leilene to vote against Saaphyri. (why not Becky?)
The ladies cast their votes and it's all down to Leilene's choice.
The Vote
In the Grand Hall, Mikki Taylor informs the ladies that Becky received two votes for best representative and is exempt, thereby, from elimination. However Leilene's vote against Brooke means 'Pumkin' is voted worst representative with three votes.
(No surprise but 'lawd hammercy' at Shay in 'dem' jeans)
With the results in, Brooke feels betrayed and targets Leilene.Brooke speaks to Leilene in a belittling fashion but Leilene has probably had a lot of verbal abuse in her life and is able to deflect it. Still, who da fuck is Brooke to say this, "Leilene, when I am talking to you don't look at her!" (da hell?)
And there was more...
Brooke: you're a slut
Leilene: at least I get paid, you give it for free
Brooke: are you ok being fucked up by rich guys who just want to bang the fuck out of you and *** on your face?
Leilene: who needs friends like this
Brooke: (yelling) I am not your fucking friend, bitch
(wowwwwwww)
Mo'Nique announces 1hr to elimination.
Eliminations #8
In order Mo'Nique calls Brooke, Leilene and Saaphyri to the carpet.
Speaking to Leilene, Keith says he's disappointed she spent all her time with one man, and Mikki echoes the observation.
Saaphyri is warned by Keith and Mikki that she should avoid the bait. It's Brooke's turn now...
Addressing her Keith says, "Brooke, I gotta tell ya, you were ready to engage with whatever came along and it just reminded me of a quote my mom used to say, 'you can put as much lipstick on a pig as you want, but it's not gonna make her a lady"
Brooke: are you calling me a pig?
Keith: I would say that it's pretty vivid (No, no, no. Keith is definitely not a pushover because he has no sensitivity at all)
Mikki doesn't let her up saying "your behavior last night was a disgrace"
After general comments by Mo'Nique, Saaphyri and Leilene are returned to the stage and the decision was clear (and of course my Spoiler was accurate).
Mo'Nique turned her attention to Brooke, "last night you became a complete embarrassment. You got drunk and lost all composure. You were sexually explicit with every man here. It stepped out of being flirtatious and it stepped into being prostitution"
Brooke tried to defend herself but it was too late. And it was all over when Mo'Nique said "...it is your first time on the carpet, look how you had to come sista. You had to come as the whore of Charm School" (I am not sorry for her one bit. It took a year, but finally, she's getting what she deserved for spitting in New York's face)Brooke and Mo'Nique went back and forth until Mo'Nique cuts the bullshit and asks for her pledge pin. Brooke, you are expelled!
Brooke is hurt like a mother' and says shit like "I don't know many principals that talk like that to their students (girl, it's tv, it ain't real) and as she departs says, "Leilene, you're next"
Outside she laments Mo'Nique's harsh words then flashes her breasts to reinforce the decision.
Mo'Nique feels no sorrow whatsoever and laughs at her own description of Brooke as a "slutatious whore"
And Brooke, next time you say you are appearing on The Elle Word, live up to it.
So that's it, another recap in the bag. Thanks for reading
