- The show starts with a recap of the first episode. They show a bunch of shots of Larissa in bikinis...what a belly she has! It once again shows some of the guys and their comments. A few say they are falling for her already even though they have only really seen her for like maybe an hour. What a joke.

- We then see a boxing ring outside of the guys' house. Pro boxer, Roy Jones Jr., joins the guys and is oogled and idolized almost as much as Larissa was when the fellas first saw her. Roy gets the guys training by hitting bags and teaching them some moves for the ring. Then Larissa comes out in a boxing robe....mmmm...I'm hoping she is in an outfit similar to Christina Aguilera in her "Dirty" video. The boys are about to have some friendly matches...but first, Larissa drops the robe and shows she is wearing some shorts and a bikini top. Yeah, she's hot! Or as Boston Brian would say, she has a "beautiful bawwdy". Phuc knocks Sean down in the first match. Larissa thinks Phuc is funny. I think he's kinda dorky...but whatever. Then skinny little David goes against the 300+ lbs. Donato. What??? Who matched these 2 up? Maybe it was an effort to get rid of David once and for all. Donato does what everyone wishes they could do and he wastes David. Too bad Roy Jones didn't beat up David to show the guys how to box. After his match, David moves in on Larissa and tries to talk to her but Fredo butts in and that angers David. Awww...poor Dabey Wabey isn't the only guy on the island now, is he? Fredo says he doesn't care. He says Larissa wants a man who will protect her. Sure. And you're that guy Fredo, right? Anyways, Tim and Tony are the last match. Tim, being a marine, beats the pulp out of Tony. He gets some shots to the back of Tony's head, though, and that turns Larissa off. She doesn't like how aggressive he is being and sympathizes with Tony. The other guys agree that Tim went too far. But, this is boxing, isn't it? Roy Jones says how friendly the guys were but once the hottie, Larissa, showed up, they went crazy and turned into savage beasts.

- Time for some group dates. Larissa says there will be 3 group dates and 1 lucky guy from each group will get some private time with her. The 1st group is Tim, David, Mike, and Tom. They all get into a helicopter and fly over volcanos, getting a nice look inside of these natural wonders. David is making retarded comments and jokes the whole time. Mike says in a confessional that Larissa has extremely white teeth for someone who drinks a lot of coffee so she must use a lot of white strips. Hmmm. Well the chopper lands on the beach where the date will take place. Tim takes her aside first and they talk. He tells her she probably has the wrong impression of him after the boxing match because that wasn't who he really is. Then Mike gets some time with her. He tells her that Jesus is the most important thing in his life and he will not make any exception for any woman regarding the matter. It scared Larissa a little bit and Mike admits that he feels like he pushed her away a lil with that comment. Tom has his time and lets Larissa know he is a breakdancer. He didn't really specify that he was a bad one though. Then it's time for David. He seems much more mellow now. Is this the real David?

Well, Larissa chooses David for the 1 on 1 date. Sounds crazy but I guess he was the most interesting out of the bunch. It is pretty obvious that David could NEVER date Larissa or anyone like her. But he is delirious. He practically worships her. Somehow, their date is partly on the volcano where the lava is. I'm unsure how this is allowed seeing as though you would think there would be some kind of barrier or law to protect people from getting too close. Anyways, David pulls out a candle and tries to light it in the lava but he is unsuccessful. He falls and Larissa is really nervous because she thinks he might burn himself in the lava. All I have to say is...PUSH HIM IN THE LAVA!!! Didn't this idiot think to bring a match to light the candle?? I guess he thought lighting it in the lava would be heroic kinda like Frodo going into a volcano to destroy the Ring. Off topic. David gets the wine glasses out. Good idea David! Get her a little tipsy and maybe she'll think you're not such a complete nerd. Dave says this is the most amazing day of his life. No kidding? And then he goes on to tell Larissa that he is picky with women. Ummm...and you can afford to be. He proceeds to sing a love song to Larissa that he supposedly wrote. And here I was thinking the American Idol rejects weren't until next week. Larissa thinks it is sweet though. David goes for the kiss! OMFG! It was uncomfortble just watching it. I can't imagine how Larissa felt. She puckers up a little and lets him kiss her but she looks like she is partly turned away. But give him credit for making the 1st move. She says it wasn't the best kiss because she wasn't into it but it wasn't terrible either. David lets us know that supermodels aren't lined up outside his door...thanks for clearing that one up for us buddy cuz we weren't sure.

- Second group is Justin, Sean, Brian G., Fredo, and Bill. They go "snuba" diving. It is a combo of scuba and snorkeling. Have I mentioned yet that Larissa is hot? The legs, the belly...ehem. Not much time spent on this date. She picks Fredo for alone time. He tells her about himself and she is surprised that he is into classical music. They both agree that people shouldn't be judged by appearances because sometimes there is more to a person than what they look like.

- The last date is with Sam, Donato, Phuc, Brian W., and Tony. Larissa is again in a bikini. They go through the rainforest, chopping their way through the jungle with a machete. Then, they arrive at a beautiful waterfall. Larissa tells the guys to race from the shore to the waterfall and the winner gets first alone time with her. Brian, Phuc, and Donato didn't even get into the water. Tony won the race so he got his alone time 1st. He explains his weird-ass facial hair design. He says it is artwork. Sure it is. Larissa thinks it is interesting because she is an artist so they have that in common. Yeah, I'm an artist too...I piss in the snow and make pictures. Does that count? Sam brings Larissa a flower but has no conversational skills at all. Phuc made a horrible impression when he acted really nervous and his eyes were shifting all over. He couldn't even look at her. He said she looked way too good in her bathing suit and it was a distraction. His actual words were "there is some junk in that trunk". He's a real charmer. Boston Brian asks her something about what she would do if she had a wish in one hand and a pile of crap in her other. She didn't know what to say so she just said she would wish the crap would go away and it seemed to please him. Brian is a pile of crap. Not surprisingly, she chooses "artsy" Tony for the date. They went back to Larissa's house where she showed him some of her artwork and asked if he liked it. He says it is great! Well duh! Like he is going to say it sucks...he will never get in her pants that way. They paint each other and Tony explains that he loves looking at her. Yeah, who doesn't? Larissa actually asks him for a kiss...woah! She must be horny. And like she really has to ask...I'm sure he would have turned her down. They make out for a little bit. Tony says he feels the beginning sensations of love. Actually, Tony, that is called a hard on. He hasn't even known her for what? 3 days? Pathetic.

- It's time to save your ass...last ditch efforts. David hugs Larissa as she greets them. He is such a dork. Mike apologizes for throwing the religious issue at her and she explains that he needs to just give her a chance. Sam tries to make up for his loss of words under the waterfall but again, he can't find anything to say. Poor guy is toast.

- It's elimination time. Justin had to leave for personal reasons so Larissa only has to get rid of 5 guys. Tim is the first to go. He doesn't seem to care. Sam goes next. It was expected since he lacked in conversation. Phuc and Bill are the next two to go. Last, and the toughest decision, is Donato. He feels it is because of his weight...I feel he is right. The previews for next week look like more guys are getting kisses & dates. And the "hunks" are on their way in next week too! Did I mention that Larissa is hot?

Some Thoughts...

~ It's obvious the producers are advising Larissa on some choices for the laughs and the drama. Proof? David survived the 1st elimination.

~ As I've heard happened in the 1st Average Joe, the fat guys weren't eliminated until the second night so that the girls wouldn't appear totally shallow. They want to look a bit open-minded and not like bitches. But once again, it happened. 4 of the 5 remaining overweight guys were given the boot. Donato even said that Larissa was a bit shallow for eliminating him for what he believes is due to his weight. But it goes both ways, doesn't it? The guys are just as bad so they have no room to talk. Would they like a really fat girl?? I doubt it. And the only thing any of them talk about are Larissa's looks. Can you blame her?? A gorgeous girl isn't going to want a huge guy who doesn't take care of himself at all. And Donato had bigger boobs than Larissa...that is kinda scary.

~ Larissa seems to have settled in now and she realizes she has the power and is in control. I like her. She seems ok. The girl from the 1st AJ, Melana, was a cheerleader so she was predictably more shallow and chose the idiot bubble head in the end. Larissa seems more intelligent and will most likely pick an Average Joe. Whether it's because she likes him or because she knows that will make the show work out better in the end remains to be seen.

~ Fredo seems kind of fake to me. His whole thing about classical music and a children's charity seems to be his way of picking up chicks. But who knows.

~ Tony looks like a normal size version of Vern Troyer, who plays "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movies...LoL.
