My heart broke last week when little Megan Albetus gave up her spot on Momma’s Boys. But I could understand where she was coming from. It’s not every day that someone so selfless shows up on a reality dating show and realizes "Hey, this isn’t really for me." So, with my favorite contestant gone, I had to find some way to throw myself into this week’s episode. It wasn’t so hard when I saw a huge crate being delivered to the house, complete with the secret history of all the girls. Who wouldn’t want to break into that chest and devour all that juicy info?
We knew Stacy and Erica did nude modeling, but did any of the other girls? The answer: a not-so-shocking "yes." When Meghan came out, I thought "Yeah, I can see that," but I was surprised to learn about Brittany’s past. Just shows you never really know about a person. Look at how well Erica is hiding her career.
The cooking challenge, to keep the files under lock and key, was slightly amusing. Broken egg on the floor? Check. Peeling an apple with a sharp knife? Check. Dropping apple on the floor and proceeding to put it in the mixing bowl? Check. Mrs. B. with hurt feelings? Check. Clearly, these women don’t cook. Erica, Meghan, Amanda (who?), and Julie (who?) all got to keep their files shut.
Botox, boob jobs, and hair extensions, after the jump.
The real fun began after the cooking, when the momseach chose one file to read. Lorraine chose Michelle K’s and got aneyeful. Turns out Michelle, who is only 25, has already had a nose job, two boob jobs, botox, and hair extensions. She told Lorraine it was for"maintenance," which led to Lorraine’s question: "What are you going todo when you are my age?" Nice one, Lorraine! And really, who racks upover $130,000 in debt by the age of 25? How is she paying for that?
Esther chose to look at Lauren’s file to reassure herself that Laurenwas perfect. Turns out that she is. Khalood looked at Brittany’s fileand found out she posed for Playboy. That pretty much sealed her fate.
When elimination time came, it was pretty obvious what was going tohappen — sort of. Out of the house right away: Stacy (former Playboymodel), Carina (the one who got to stay when Megan gave up her space),Jessica C. (who?), Cara (pictured, who threw a fit because she thought the show was onlyabout getting a date and why didn’t she get a date?!), and Brittany. AllI can say is, good thing there was a "handler" for the show on hand to tellCara to stop hitting the camera. Did I mention she never got a date?Because, well, she didn’t get a date. So it wasn’t fair. She went onthe show for a date, and it never happened. Perhaps she should sue?Let’s watch her reaction.
And so it goes. Michael keeps Michelle and shoves his tongue down herthroat for all to see. Maisha busts out crying because Brittany getssent home, and I’m left enamored with Mindy for not kissing JoJo ontheir date. Oh, and I still miss Megan Albetus.
What did you think of the episode? Are you still asking yourself who some of these girls are? Are you as psyched for Mrs. B’sfreak out on the helicopter next week as I am? Did you watch this episode with your dad, like I did? (He loved it, btw.)

‘Momma’s Boys’: The best show that should never have been made
What’s the worst thing you watched on TV all week?
This is Megan from the show and I just wanted to thank you for watching and taking the time to write nice things!
All aboard Train Wreck Express!
I actually missed it running around getting things ready for NYE – sadness.
This show is crazy addictive. I too miss Megan and really wanted to see her grow during the show! Cara’s fit just proved why she didn’t get a date (most guys can smell “crazy” a mile away – although I’ll admit I thought she was just ditzy before). I’m really surprised that JoJo cut Brittany. It seems like half the girls have done nude modeling, and that really doesn’t seem like the worst thing in the world (wouldn’t be my choice, but maybe it’s because I don’t look like they do). I’m shocked Michelle stayed, especially because she wouldn’t even tell Michael how much debt she had when asked. Looking forward to Mrs. B’s freak out next week!!
I love this show…I think it is a hoot…Megan wish you would not have left…I believe anyone watching this show was rooting for you…best of luck to you in the future!!!
we miss u megan … ooh, cant wait till next mon.
Wait a sec… Did just want a date?
Hahaha, that was so funny! Date date date date date date!
Uh, Megan?…you spelled your last name wrong.
I DIDN’T EVEN GET A DATE!!! Craazy… but I had trouble believing her crazy. I kind of think it was all an act. Why am I STILL watching this show… LIVE!?
Megan Albertus- I sincerely hope you get the best you deserve. And if you change your mind I hope the producers will bring you back, you deserve a shot at this. You are a great girl and I think it’d be great for the shows ratings to have you back- I watched it to see you, they didn’t keep you on long enough girl!
Megan’s last name is AlbeRtus – Marc must have missed the ‘R’ when he was typing – check NBC’s page & lay off the snark
Megan, good luck in all of your future endeavors!
I told myself I wouldn’t watch, but there I was – captured by the excessive amount of bimbos and the excessively possessive mothers. Megan showed all class when she left; those boys should call the show quits and run after someone of such integrity. I will miss Cara just for the sheer freaky factor. Was something wrong with her facial mannerisms or was it just me? Looking forward to watching next week so I can read the recap.
Aww sad (but not surprising)…according to IMDB, Megan is credited in two moves (including one as “Bikini Girl”, has done modeling, and has some very professional headshots. She’s an actress!!
I think it’s unfortunate that the girls who modeled nude for Playboy were almost immediately kicked off the show. They should have been given an opportunity to better explain their situations, like what made them do it, and would they do it again? While I personally wouldn’t model for Playboy, I think that an image in a magazine does not really represent the full nature of what a woman is all about. It is a little hypocritical for the men….err, sorry, boys…..these same guys probably stare and fantasize at images of these girls in Playboy magazine, and then when they meet them in person, the guys suddenly become all about “family values” and reject the girls based on their past. Please….and it’s not like the “boys” haven’t done some modeling themselves. Michael Sarysz may be a firefighter now, but he used to live in L.A. and he’s also a model (non-nude) on the side. Check out his website (his full name) at http://www.michaelsarysz.com .
ok, the michelle chick needs to GO. i’m with lorraine, michael needs to get over that little obsession he has with the peroxide barbie girls. especially the ones who’ll just end up ruining his credit.
