Episode 2 Recapreview, Now With Credits

For anyone who hasn't seen it elsewhere:



It's not much of a preview, considering two thirds of it is composed of recap, credits, and establishing shots. On the other hand, it gave me a chance to realize something. Spike? Yeah, um... anyone else thinks he borrowed his facial expressions from Johnny Fairplay of Survivor infamy? I mean, it's one of the few things I remember about my limited experience with the show. Really makes me wonder if he's going to turn out to be as much of an ass.

On the plus side, we got to see Stephanie's super-pleased reaction to winning again, which was cute. Also, I got to take a really good look at the credits. Seems like they were trying to get everyone to smile or laugh for them, and in some cases succeeded better than others. Notably, Spike looks smug, Nimma looks nervous, Andrew looks far more relaxed than he's seemed on the show, Dale does the Stupidest Dance Ever, and Erik does this great metal pose to finish it off.

Also, you know, Mark is really kinda cute. In his bio interview I didn't really notice but in the opening credits and the show itself he looks a lot better. Between that and the Enzed accent, I'm guessing there's a good chance he's this season's man-hunk. Don't know about the girls, though. Really, most of them are pretty attractive, but the standards of female beauty in this country and my tastes don't generally agree. Maybe Antonia? Dunno.

Anyhow, as to the preview itself, all minute-fifteen of it, it doesn't tell us much. Unless you care about Stephanie and Valerie's exercise routines or the fact that Zoi and Jen apparently have the same shoes in different sizes, it really doesn't tell us anything at all. I'm guessing it's just the first 3 minutes of the next show. Yawn.

Bravo seems to like to do this, to either give us a preview that is completely yawn-worthy, or one with stuff in it we'll never see. Occasionally they spoiler something instead (or think they're cleverly not spoilering it but do anyhow), but they really need to learn how to put together better previews IMO.
