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.)

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.
jo jo mom is so crazy. i love her. she really needs help. The fireman’s mom is so clingy and crazy. It’s obvious her son loves anyone that does not lokk like her.
All I have to say is TV Crack. I hadn’t watched this show until last night and now I’m absolutely hooked. But what I don’t understand is – Why didn’t Cara get a date? Wasn’t she supposed to get a date? I think she should have had a date. Ha – seriously. Get over yourself!
What’s this Amanda (who?) crap? She was all over the last episode. It’s not like she’s a nobody. She’s the girl from the week before that Lorraine and Esther were both hot for. She’s also my roommate from college, so maybe I have a little space in my heart for her!
Actually, I had totally forgotten who Amanda was, too. But since two of the moms were crazy about her last week, what happened?? They dropped her this week. Weird.
I just keep thinking that now filming is over, I wonder how the mom who is crazy about Erica, the Penthouse model is feeling. I googled her and wonder if some of the same photos I saw will be seen eventually in her file. Good grief. Mom is pushing Erica and she may have the most gritty past of them all ! Too funny !!!
After Megan’s geek to chic transformation and selfless emotional departure I felt like the most genuine person was gone. Then my mom sent me her IMDB RESUME only to find out that this seemingly SHY and GEEKY girl that spends all her time with animals and not people has gorgeous headshots and quite the ACTING EXPERIENCE… as MOST OF THE CAST DO! Pretty much all of the remaining cast members have acting/modeling experience. Michelle was on Paris Hilton BFF and GREEK. And Erica’s “movie” titles are filthy disgusting. Michael’s website gave me a good chuckle. Even crazy Cara has a resume… although being an actress homegirl has for real Crazy Eyes. I’d rather NBC give Lipstick Jungle a chance than watch these half-assed bimbo wannabe actresses.
if everyone would please kindly go to imdb.com and go to megans page, they will find out a lot more about her. and she HAS commented personally on her page, so have fun.
she is the sweetest girl ever, but nobody can live life being that sweet all the time.
this show is HILARIOUS
First, Ryan Seacrest steals this idea from a Turkish show. And now we come to find out Megan Albertus is not really a 30 year old nerd virgin but an actress. THIS SHOW IS A FAKE. As fake as that dumazz Seacrest!!!!!
Megan did this awesome interview with me on my blog:
http://jenkwok.wordpress.com/2009/01/01/in…of-mommas-boys/
Get the low-down from Megan herself on what she really thought of the guys, how Mrs. B can’t be all bad, and the fake boobies she wore after her “makeover”.
Happy New Year!

Cara was crazy with a capital C! Mrs. B and Vita are a match – two of them not so different from each other really! Doesn’t mean she’s the girl for JoJo – means she’s not! Brittany is cute so I can understand why Jojo is attracted to her – she’s very cute but the man-made enchancements ruin her looks. What’s wrong with being who you are even if its only 34B or something?
Mrs. B – climbing in the hot tub was KRAZY — totally out there – it was too incestuous hon – too sick really. Even Cara thought you were crazy – and Mrs. B when Cara thinks you’re crazy you got problems!
Fireman Mom has a son with a maturity problem – lack thereof that is! WHich is why he’s so drawn to Fake Michelle who’s had way too much surgical enhancements and shots than women twice her age – and that $136k debt on stupid stuff like clothes and botox is a danger sign. Its not as if it were on a house or condo – but shopping.
You need to wipe your tears and shut up..You were not guaranteed at date by anyone when you signed up for the show..You have to much drama girl..I am glad your are gone..

Very interesting! I will definitely be back.
I only got to see the first part of the episode but I was already like, “Wow. This is going to be a long day.” I was definitely expecting a lot of secrets to be spilled out and Cara’s temper tantrum was uncalled for but I think we all knew it was going to happen at some time. And I was totally surprised when Brittany was cut. And even more shocked when Michelle stayed. It seems like Jojo and Rob are the only ones who actually sort of pay attention to what their moms say and I guess you can say that Michael is the more independent one. Looking forward to next Monday!
I hope Cara has watched the segments of the show where she turns into a hysterical lunatic, then maybe she will finally wake up and realize WHY she didn’t get a date. From the first episode when she broke her heel, flaked out not be able to use the cell phone and her histrionics about not getting a date, I knew she was certifiably NUTS. After America watches this loon and her crazy facial expressions, I’m pretty sure she will NEVER get a date now after she had a completely out-of-control fit about “I didn’t even get a date, I didn’t even get a date,” over and over, etc. etc.,
