The Gossip Game Recap: S01E03

Sorry this recap is late; I was busy recovering from some pointless exam for grad school.

As heavily advertised in previous clips, Kim Osorio's husband asks if they can have a threesome. Kim says no, so Kino, being ever the asshole, decides to complain about it on a double date with Viv and her husband. Kim gets pretty embarrassed because they are not actual friends (in case you missed the memo, the whole point of this type of reality show is to throw together people who have never interacted/will not get along in order to see the drama that ensues). Kim later introduces Kino to an inflatable girlfriend to say that's the only kind of threesome he is going to get. She tells him the whole thing makes her feel insecure, and he (insincerely, IMO) apologizes, telling her she is all he needs in this world.

On the flip side, Sharon Carpenter refuses to date. When Angela Yee sets her up with some actor from the Wire (no, Sharon, you are not the only person who's "never seen an episode of the Wire," there's also me), she constantly checks her watch, and then walks out when he's not there after 15 minutes. She doesn't have time to spare from her job (this week, she's interviewing Biggie's daughter, Tianna Wallace), and he just wasted like an hour of her time. Punctuality is key. I can relate.

Ms. Drama decides she's going to completely change her image by taking photos for a gentlemen's magazine. She hosts an event for said photos. The only problem is, she doesn't come off as sexy, according to the new resident mean girls clique, Sharon Carpenter and Angela Yee. (Don't worry, I love Mean Girls.) One photo, which Angie dubs, "the stepping out one," is particularly un-sexy (see the photo @ 1:50 into the video):





This photo is so bad, it forces Angie and Sharon to wonder if Ms. Drama has ever had sex. It reminds me a bit of this moment from RuPaul's Drag Race:



However, Ms. Drama will not be made fun of at her event. She recaptures the spotlight when she gives a ridiculous speech, which includes gems such as, "People come in your life, and they go out with the wind. They are seasonal." Her speech is so entertaining, K Foxx comments on how entertaining it is, thus leaving us reeling in the meta-ness that is reality TV.

The episode ends with a verbal spat between Ms. Drama and JasFly. Ms. Drama concludes with a monologue, because she wanted to yell at JasFly, not argue with her.
