Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair Episode 6: Sexy and Crazy Not The Same Thing

 Ok, so there has been a week off the show, and I have barely blogged in the last week. When will this writer's block stop? When? Maybe today? Maybe...

Oh well back to Frank and his ladies.

The episode starts out essentially as a challenge. Frank is going to throw his parents a 39th Anniversary party. His entire extended family will be there and his potential girlfriend/wife needs to meet them all. The girls get ready for the party by trying to dress conservative. Woe, is the lady who goes on a VH1 reality show and doesn't bother to bring one family friendly outfit. Some borrowing, some tweaking, a little less padding in the bra and the ladies are ready to go.

Melissa and Cathy are really concerned about this challenge because the HAVE to win, as they are the only girls who haven't had alone time or a date with Frank. During the party they have to impress Frank's family and give a speech. After that the family decides who the winner of the challenge is. This was actually boring....except for the part where Frank's entire family (almost) goes on a smoke break and starts talking shit about the girls. Seriously, that's a smoke break I would like to be on. In the end Felicia wins Frank's family over with her MBA, large breasts, and ability to come up with a speech on the spot.

The others are pissed.

This is the episode where Cathy really takes it to the next level. Cathy, is pissed that she has lost yet another challenge. She decides to take matters into her own hands. If she can't win a challenge she will figure out a way to get to Frank. Cathy sneaks out of her room into the basement in the middle of the night. Frank is very HAPPY to see her. Making out ensues. Then they cover the cameras in the room with a blanket and we are left to our imagination. That a girl Cathy, make your own destiny.  Well played.

She sneaks back into her room....OH NO!!! Melissa heard her sneaking around.

Melissa spends the next day telling everyone that Cathy humped Frank's brains out. For some reason most of them are mad at Cathy about this. I mean, isn't it a competition? Did they even have sex? Does it matter if they did? Is it jealousy?  Cathy has to do damage control and tell Frank that Melissa is the one who is telling everyone...Frank is pissed because he doesn't want his Mom to find out.

Hahhahahhahahahahhah.

Sorry.

Well Renee isn't going to take this lying down. AFTER all SHE is the one who loves Frank. She is the one who has planned their wedding and named their children. I've been saying she's crazy for 6 episodes now. At one point I felt guilty. UM NOT ANYMORE. Renee's attempt at winning Frank over involved dressing up as a saloon girl hiding and hiding in his closet with a bottle of whipped cream. WTF.  She was pretty proud of her self, stating that not many people could pull that look off. Well, I don't know the look that she was after, but if it was BAT SHIT CRAZY mission accomplished. Frank was surprised/horrified. So much so that he kicked her off the show.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE WAS MAD AT MELISSA.

Good bye Renee. You were a lot of fun to write about.

Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair Episode 5: Don't Expect Your Fuck Buddy to Give You a Personal References

I'm a little under the weather tonight, and I am just going to get to the point. So I'm not going to do a lot of intro...

The challenge of the day is kids. Frank wants kids & he wants a lady who can handle them. Franks parents tell the girls how much of a little asshole Frank has been his whole life. Apparently they need to take their pent up aggression out on the ladies....cue a bunch of little brats. The brats come in dressed identically to Frank. Its a bunch of little boys about 10 years old or so in age, and after they arrive the Marescas including Frank leave the girls alone with the beasts. Well, clearly the boys were fed crack before they were let loose on the set, because they went ape shit: jumping on shit, taking pictures off the walls, screaming, making fun of the girls etc... I'm sure the producers told these little kids to do these things, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the Maresca's real house...so I don't really feel like the kids are destroying precious heirlooms. However,  the set is supposed to be their real house and the girls are supposed to protect it from the children so obviously this is a disaster.

Most of the girls fair pretty well with the children. There is one kid thats a total brat and the girls keep nagging at him and he doesn't give a rats ass. Most of the girls kept their cool but Christi, lost it and "screamed" at him. I didn't think it was a scream, more of a raised voice. It wasn't like she threatened to kick his little ass or slapped the shit out of him. 

Anyway, in the end the kids liked Kerry and Melody. They hated Christi, and bada bing Kerry and Melody are going on a special bowling date with Frank and his parents and the other girls are going to barbeque with Frank's brother Sal.

This whole episode has a back story of Felicia being a shady wench. First she went and tried to start a rumor that Cathy was dating a celebrity, then she tried to steal a note that Renee wrote to Frank. I understand somewhat trying to sabotage Cathy, as she is competition....but Renee? Felicia you should be ashamed trying to sabotage Renee? She does that to herself, she doesn't need any more help. To top this Shady McShaderson behavior Felicia also tells Frank's brother all about her future as a CFO. Crazy as it sounds  she fails to mention how Frank would fit into her life as a CFO. I DON"T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT IS A BIG DEAL.  So she isn't naming their kids! Big deal, right now he has like 9 other girlfriends. I mean, isn't the more alarming point here that a VH1 dating show contestant has serious plans to become a CFO? Why isn't she on the apprentice? OR maybe even Shark Tank? Felicia I'm worried about you, and back off Cathy or I can't continue to blog in your favor.

Also during this barbeque Christi basically tells Sal that she still screws her ex, or maybe their just BFF's. Regardless, she should have just kept her mouth shut. Then Sal tells Frank about Christi's fuck buddy, and Frank confronts her. He is  like call him. Dumb ass Christi calls the ex and lets Frank ask him, the ex says that they "messed around" two weeks before she left for the show. Frank is disgusted, Christi cries.

Now its time for damage control, Cathy has to tell Frank that she is not a celebrity fucker except maybe she would fuck him...Is Frank a celebrity? Once you do him Cathy, you may have to wear the scarlet letter of celebrity fuckery keep that in mind.... And Felicia has to explain to Frank that she is sorry about trying to steal the note, and she would love to be Franks sugar mamma. Frank isn't impressed with this story.

In the end Frank sends Christi home....duh

Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair Episode 3: "Cup Noodles"

Ok, so forgive me because my recap is going to be really short compared to usual. Its a holiday weekend and my heart isn't into it today.  I may come off as being a little pissy today, try not to take anything I say too serious. And if you still think I'm a heartless bitch then go check out what other bloggers have to say HERE

In a nutshell: Renee appears to be a complete psycho,  Jennifer used to be a favorite of mine-now she is coming off as vapid~What happened? Tammy quickly turned into a VERY bad stereo type of an Asian person, and Kerry and Cathy are schemers....in fact if it wasn't for their schemery I wouldn't watch the show. Renee is seriously 5 minutes away from a padded room they should probably check her bags for collections of Franks pubes and sweat socks.

The show starts off with a Garage Sale challenge, the girls are split into teams and they have to sell the Maresca's old shit. Who ever makes the most money wins. Highlights of the game: Renee running with a TV and eating shit (that really looked painful), the yellow team giving hand jobs massages for $10, and Ann using actual talent to draw portraits of people and sell them for a buck.

Cathy was on Renee's team and "threw the challenge" so that Renee wouldn't win anymore alone time with Frank. You dirty little vixen Cathy. Good job. The yellow team was called out by Frank's Mom for doing ho shit, and in the end Ann's team won. Ann, Jennifer, and Dana all went on a date with Frank while the others ate dinner with his parents. Two different flavors of meatloaf~in case you were wondering.

Ann is winning me over. The girl is nice. REALLY FUCKING NICE. And you know what? The world needs a little more nice in it. I'm actually starting to like Frank. He's becoming... dare I say a man?  It appears that he is seeing Ann for the really nice person that she is and finally "rewarding her efforts" by making out with her. Oh, and Ann got a ho-make-over this episode.... basically they covered her in bronzer and made her wear a bump it. She looked good. Any way the the ho-look was a hit with Frank. He didn't really pay much attention to Dana or Jennifer, which was shocking to Jennifer because apparently she thinks that boobs and lip gloss being pretty is enough. Jennifer just can't understand why Frank isn't sniffing her ass and bringing her gold nuggets every five.

Note to Jennifer: the dude has 11 other girls serving their coochie's on a golden platter to him, why would he pick the one that he has to hunt down and cook himself? 

In the end though, Frank sent Tammy home. This was because he couldn't understand what she was talking about because of her limited English, mixed with her massage parlor antics, and um...the fact that she likes cup noodles not Italian Sausage. Its too bad she had to go, I was really sort of starting to like her.

Good bye Tammy!!!!

Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair Episode 2

 

Today's episode of basement affair starts off, weird. Not just a little strange, like funny haha, but fucking weird. The girls are told that they are going to play "7 minutes in heaven" with frank in his basement. Only instead of making out and dry-humping like the original game, in this version you have 2 minutes to impress Frank with your non-sexual talents. His Mom is especially bitchy during this scene. She still hates Barfly Mandy and she apparently feels uncomfortable with what could possibly happen in the basement.  To which I would say: LADY, HE SUCKED NEW YORK'S TOES, HOW MUCH WORSE COULD HE DO? REALLY?

This episode was especially trainwrecky for my girl Cathy. Let me tell you in a nutshell what went down with Ms. Nardone. First she was late to impress Frank. He pouted like a child cut her time short, and she hilariously tried to puppy dog eye him. It didn't work. Her almost "balloon" creation combined with her tardiness had already sent Frank over the edge. Later she decided to get shit faced and frolic in the hot tub, but in her drunken state she was more like a flounder than a graceful gazelle, and then she got LOUD. Frank tried to help her and she lost her mind a little and cried. Cathy...I don't know what to say. Don't mix your liquor? Maybe? She also decided to stage a coo against Renee. Cathy is annoyed that Renee is a kiss ass and a hater.  Renee wrote a story about how there were "fake" people in the house that wanted to be models, and apparently it offended Cathy, so she went and told the others... Now the house is divided between people who hate Renee and those who haven't figured it out yet.

Frank liked Renee's story. Why? Does he not see that Renee has already named their children.... and is probably crafting a scrapbook bound by the pubes she found in his shower? She is a little too eager to please in my opinion, and quite frankly is coming off as psycho. Frank also appreciated Kerry's cupcakes (duh) and Felicia's personal story about her brush with breast cancer. He took those three on a budget date, and then made out with Renee. Now everyone hates her even more, and I'm sure she hasn't washed since her make out sesh with Frank.

Most of the other girls talents sucked. Jessica proved herself a complete nutbag in this portion of the program by putting on a pair of black leggings hiking them up to her tits pairing it with a bikini top, and then doing some sort of interpretive dance. 

Fortunately for Cathy, all of her exploits were swept under the rug because Frank's mom's blind hatred for Barfly Mandy. Hit an all time high this episode. The Mom blames Mandy for everything, even the other girls behavior is somehow her fault. Perhaps the most ridiculous evidence of this is when his mother discovers vodka in the family water bottle. She points the finger at Mandy, and to her defense Mandy brilliantly replies: "Why would I put Vodka in a bottle I have a flask for that?" Then Mandy cusses out The Mom in some sort of foreign language, and I join in. I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! WHO THE HELL LEAVES AN OPEN WATER BOTTLE ON THE SET OF A VH1 DATING SHOW, AND DOESN'T EXPECT IT TO BE FULL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASE AND OR VODKA? GET A GRIP.

Anyway, The Mom threatens to halt production of the show if Frank doesn't kick Mandy off immediately. And because Frank realizes that Mandy is as nuts as his mother and has bad Juvederm, he kicks her off immediately. 

Good By Mandy.

 

The rest of this episode is pretty dull. In the final elimination Frank gets down to the last two women: Cathy the chatty drunk and Jessica the girl interrupted. Let me paraphrase what he has to say:

"Cathy you are a bad drunk, we fight a lot and you talk too much, however I can still see myself sleeping with you. Jessica you are nuts, if I had to choose between sleeping with you and jerking the rest of my life...I would jerk. Jessica you are eliminated."

Sorry Jessica, you seemed like a happy soul:

Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair Episode 1

OK, so as you know I'm going to be recapping "A Basement Affair" on VH1. My castmate from ISAJGS: Cathy is on it, I think it will be funny. So probably every sunday night for the next 9 weeks or something...I will post about this show.

The show is another VH1 version of the Bachelor, everyone knows that VH1 dating shows are far more interesting than the ones on ABC...due to the fact that there are more sluts, possible fist fights, and the nagging fear that someone may contract crabs. Oh,  and the comedic possibilities are endless because a VH1 "bachelor" is usually a D-List celebrity and the contestants fail to understand this crucial point at every turn.  If you want more details on this show consult VH1 or my original post:HERE.

A cast photo for reference, and then I will begin:

So we start out the show, and Frank and his parents are living at their house. Frank lives in the basement, his parents are ashamed that at 30 something, he is still on the tit.  At least there are two people on this show that seem to be in their right mind. The ladies show up, and they are all.. sort of surprised I suppose that they won't be getting shit faced and pole dancing in some random mansion. Instead they will be living with Frank's parents and following rules....etc.

The first thing they have to do is meet Frank and his parents and take a family picture with them.  In a nutshell the girls all seemed to be from the New York or Chicago area... and brunette. There was one blonde but she was Asian and I feel like that somehow made it OK, I don't think Frank likes blondes. Or maybe we don't like him? Food for thought.

Surprisingly the girls were far less slutty than the average VH1 show, and I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. During this little get-to-know-your-future-possible-daughter-in-law-wife-fuck buddy/ whatever a few girls stood out. The first girl to shock me was Ann. She appeared completely miss-casted as she did not have "the look" the other girls had, meaning she had really weird chopped "art school" bangs and the MOST HORRIFYING flowered stretch pants I HAVE EVER SEEN. They were high waisted and had flowers on them, and she had a crop top on too. I started getting the sensation of vomit and a headache all at once. Then she spoke and she was so nice, so normal. It made me feel like a straight bitch. Frank was like "she's not really my type" and I felt bad for her. Even his parents recognized that something was really fucking terribly off about her outfit.Anne From " A Basement Affair"

This is her bio-pic from VH1, maybe she is just comforted by the high waisted pant... Maybe? Regardless, I can't look out her with out thinking of the sitcom Blossom

At some point it was Cathy's turn, and um... she was talking and talking, and then talking. And all Frank and his parents could say about her was that she talked too much. Fair enough, but if you only had like 3 minutes to meet someone and their family, well maybe you'd try to fit in a lot of info too right? Cathy can do no wrong in my book.... I'm also betting a good sum of money that she is the girl that puts "Vodka" in the water bottle on next week's episode. I feel like a proud mother. Now tell me that Vodka was Grey Goose, and I might actually weep tears of joy.

Anyway, other notable characters were Mandy, who looked about 40 and had the worse Juvederm I've ever seen. Mandy pissed the Mom off right away, and their hatred for  each other is likely to be a main story line of the show.  She lives in her parents attic, and I'm fairly sure she moonlights as a bar fly smoking no less than two packs of Marlboro reds a day. Also, please look at the cast picture above. NO ONE is standing by her, they all sense that she is a freak. Predictably Frank keeps her. One can only presume this is to insure the  drama stays high. 

The show was really sort of uneventful, too early to really hate any of them, and also too early for any really good drama.

In the end, Frank sent a weird "model" who might have been an android home, and the nice girl from Chicago.  The nice girl never stood a chance, I seriously think that she might have been a virgin or something, as unlikely as that is on VH1. 

Good bye model good bye nice girl.
