Momma's Boys-Finale

A mix bag of treats for this last installment of Momma's Boys, which I must secretly admit, I enjoyed. It was drama times three and the score, momma 1, boys 2.

Poor Jojo, since his mother was too selfish to bring along another girl for Jojo, his last and final date was with his mother. Now didn't I say previously that this was a little to Oedipal? The producers really played it up with Jojo and his mother walking on the beach, para sailing, and watching the sunset. Poor Jojo, even he said this was all a little too disturbing. Rob's last date was with Esther's pick, Lauren. They fly to St. Croix which looked totally amazing and have a romantic secluded date in a beach cove. Gads, I want to vacation on St. Croix just so I can go to this cove. Rob tells the camera that maybe his mother was right in her choice for him although he admits to his mother later that the first and last person he thinks of is Camilla. Michael's last date is with Erica, Penthouse Pet of the Year. Their last date is on a private yacht. Now that's my kind of living. I was glued to the set waiting for Erica to spill about her "real" job. When she tells Michael, he looked really pissed and hurt. When she gets back to the hotel she tells Lorraine about her dubious past as well. Mother Lorraine has her practically married to Michael so when Erica told her about Penthouse, Lorraine was like, oh well, I love you and that is not going to change how I feel about you, even though she totally was dismissive about Megan who posed for Playboy, Penthouse's polite cousin. Michael is like to his mother, do you know what kind of spread Penthouse does? I think not!

For the final elimination, first up is Rob with his choice of either Lauren or Camilla. He tells us should he go for the practical or for the passionate. Ah come on Rob, practical is Tupperware, do you want to settle for Tupperware when you can have crystal, or in this case Camilla? In the end, it was Rob who turned out to be a big momma's boy and chose Lauren because of his mother which he instantly regretted. Camilla did have the smug satisfaction that she really was Rob's first choice and you could so totally tell Rob was heartbroken. Esther you oughta be ashamed! I must tell you the first time I met my husband's Jewish family, me being Asian and all, but that's another post.

Next it's Michael's turn to chose between Erica or Amanda. His mother was hoping for Erica, nude photos and all, but I think Michael thought, how can I pick someone every guy in America will rush out to buy the latest Penthouse? In the end, Michael made the wise choice of picking Amanda the pre-med, 3 language student. They make a cute couple.

And lastly, Jojo's turn, to chose between his mother or Mindy. When Jojo was speaking and just about to tell Mindy, that he can't break his mother's heart, Mindy interrupts and tells Jojo that she doesn't think she could be with Jojo even though she really cares for Jojo because his mother is way too difficult to deal with. Really, ya think? Just then Jojo gets his inner strength on and tells his mother to take a hike because he's choosing Mindy. Go Jojo, he finally did find balls!

Conclusion:

Rob leaves the island vacation early and alone without Lauren.

Erica's contract with Penthouse ends and she travels to Florida to visit Lorraine (still hoping maybe that Michael will change his mind).

And....the producers offer Mrs. B counseling which she declined. - Single D

Momma's Boys-Caribbean Dates

Well it's almost a wrapped up for this season's momma's boys and it looks like momma's boys maybe cutting the apron strings with the exception of Michael, who has shown that he doesn't have any back bone. He lets his mother Lorraine do the dirty job of axing Meghan. He says he can't chose and that it was the hardest thing he's ever had to do. Oh boo hoo! I think the hardest thing he'll ever have to do is stand up to his mother. So what if Meghan's a playboy bunny, at least she's probably got bank.

Next it's Rob's turn to send one of his girls home. He had such a hot date with Camilla, he even bought her jewelry, isn't that somewhat of a commitment? I'm wondering if Camilla is just in it for the game against Esther. Somehow I was trying to picture Rob and Camilla married. Kinda of a stretch but hey, maybe it could work. I've seen couples like that, but one thought always comes to mind, the guy must be rich. Camilla of course would have to convert to Judaism which I'm not picturing. Esther was hoping he would get rid of Camilla and keep Nikki, but Rob took it like a man and chose Camilla over her, but it was not without his sniffling that he broke Nikki's heart and his mother's. Wa wa. His mother should get down on her knees that someone like Camilla would even look twice at Rob, oye vey, he's not exactly Brad Pitt. More like Brad Pitty. But I was glad he kept Camilla although mother Esther is pining her hopes for Lauren.

Lastly, Jojo stood up to the wrath of his demonic mother. Mommy dearest his just not feeling it for both girls. Now you would think with them being white and all Mrs. B would be happy. Well she's not and she's really not feeling it for Mindy and makes the offensive comment that her boobs are too big! Whoa Mrs. B have you looked down lately. Your boobs are huge and going south fast! Let's face it, with all the drama Mrs. B puts on about the color of one's skin, it was all just a pretense. She just doesn't think and will never think that anyone will be good enough for her Jojo. That woman needs therapy. Didn't Shakespeare write about this forbidden Oedipal lusting? At least Jojo stood up to her and followed his heart by telling Mindy that he was falling for her. Hurrah. Now it remains to be seen if he can stand behind his decision. -Single D

Momma's Boys

Looks like the mommas are having their way on this new twist of the dating game. The score, Momma's 2 bachelor son 1. Michael's mom Lorraine is dead set against plastic beauty Michelle. Ok so the girl does have bad, bad credit, or as she likes to say, "I love shopping and plastic surgery!" And so what if not a single thing on her body is authentic. If Michael wanted something real he would have stayed off TV reality shows. Well, after mother Lorraine got to peek in Michelle's bio on the episode which featured a glass trunk with all the contestants bios, credit reports and other salacious gossip, Mother Lorraine's worst fears were confirmed. She immediately told Michael that Michelle was not for him. I didn't think Michael would cave into her pressure but Mother Lorraine had her way and Michelle was sent packing in Monday's night episode. No trip to the Caribbean for her. Can't wait for Lorraine to find out that her favorite girl, Erica, was Penthouse Pet of the Year. Whoa!

The worst momma of all time and tops my list of would be momma in law from hell is Mrs. B and her pure racist attitude. Jojo clearly was attracted to black beauty Misty. She looks like an Olympic star. When Jojo takes Misty out on a one on one date, Mrs. B goes on a rampage. She summons a helicopter to take her where her son is. Namely in a hot tub locking lips with Misty. As the helicopter hovers over, Misty and Jojo pause for a split second, could that be Mrs. B up there? Nah! Wrong! Mrs. B was so mad she could spit. She rants and raves and then cries. How could he do this to me? Please will someone tell her, that somewhere in this world she would be considered ethnic herself? (I think she's Lebanese). When Mrs. B comes back to the mansion, gee go figure, she finds solace in the comfort of two black girls in the house. They try to appease her and calm her down, very brave of them! It seemed like maybe some enlightening was taking place and that she would come around and see through that racist haze. One could only hope. Nah, think again. When Jojo comes back, she tries to tell him Misty is not for him, but Jojo says, he likes Misty. Elimination night and one could only hope that Jojo would stand up to his mother. But he didn't. Another cave in. Mrs. B even went so far as to not give her ticket to another girl there and ripped it in half. She's just downright mean. Poor Jojo, he should have ran away from home a long time ago.

The one son that did stand up to his mother, was Rob. He managed to ask Camilla to come with him to the Caribbean, much to Esther's pleading that he should marry a nice Jewish girl. Oye vey! Can't wait to see the fireworks next week.-Single D

Biggest Loser Finale & Momma's Boys Premiere

I have been watching on and off the Biggest Loser. It is so amazing the weight that these have people lost. Of the four that were left on last night's finale, Heba, her hubby Ed, Vickki and Michelle, I thought it was so totally hilarious that America voted by a landslide to keep Ed in the finale and vote out Heba. I know a collective groan went through America, when Ed pleaded with America to keep his wife in the running. My first thought was Oh please! If she has that much control over him to make him plead for her to stay instead of him, then she needs to be voted out, and that is exactly what America did by a landslide! Heba would have been better off letting Ed plead his own case. Ed looked silly begging America to keep his wife instead of him, did she really want it that bad? Either way one of them would go to the finale and have the chance at the money. At the reunion show, about the only ones that still needed help losing the weight looked like Tom Jr. and Tom Sr. Junior went from 360 to about 270, but he's still a big boy and if not careful, could balloon up again. The second place finish went to big girl Heba with an impressive weight loss, inching out an almost too gaunt Amy.

After Heba winning, I was so hoping that Ed wouldn't win, because that wouldn't be fair. Another Survivor Gabon with winner take all. I didn't think tho that Ed (he better be careful, what with being a chef and all) would have a chance and I was hold my breath when Vicki did her weigh in. Doesn't she walk knocked knees with her feet in a duck stance? I guess she'll have to learn not to walk like a fat girl. I was rooting this entire time for Michelle to win, after all the black team has been the underdogs this whole season. So when Michelle got on the scale and had to lose 105 pounds, I was like, eek! That's a lot of weight. But when she made 110 I was so glad for her and her trainer, Jillian. Michelle looked amazing and so totally deserved to win against the other two. All around a satisfying conclusion to this season.

After that came the premiere of Momma's Boys-a bachelor style dating game with a twist-momma's coming along for the ride, nothing like three's a crowd. Thirty girls for 3 bachelors to chose from, nice odds. Looks like Michael the EMT from Jersey is already a crowd favorite. He is a cutie and his mother is seems pretty hip. The other momma's boy, Rob is a nice Jewish boy from New York, oy vey! His mother is your typical Jewish mom ( I know I had one). The third bachelor is JoJo whose mother is the mother from hell. Khalood (what kind of name is that?) already has created fireworks with her racial and ethnic slurs (hey isn't she some kind of ethnic herself?). She just wants a nice white girl for her little man. Well, with a mixed crowd of ethnicity's in the bachelorettes, this show seems like it has all the makings for some mindless entertainment. Let the backstabbing begin!-Single D
