- The show starts by showing Larissa in tears over having to send Donato home in the previous episode. So sad. The guys that are left are happy they will get more dates with Larissa. David says she is the "most special girl he has ever met in his life". Yeah, because he knows her SOO well and all. The other guys say they are starting to have "feelings" for her. Jeez, these guys are pathetic. Thomas makes a comment about it being a good thing that they are all average and there are no playboys on the island. And, since the editors are so brilliant, we flash to a yacht out at sea loaded with 8 hunks. They are headed to the island to compete with the AJs but nobody knows about them. These oiled up, muscular boneheads stand side-by-side in a line, looking rather full of themselves. Let the cocky and shallow comments begin. One of the hunks said "the guys' paradise was about to become a nightmare." Another, while raising his shirt and referring to his rock hard abs, said the AJs were "gonna have THIS to deal with". Umm, sure they are. Basically, the "hunks" just talked a bunch of trash, making themselves out to be God's gifts to women. We see many shot of them all tanning together like a bunch of fruits. Some more comments from the boys. "We are the total package of what women want." Yes, sad, but true. Muscles and no brains are a major turn on for chicks. One of the meatheads claims he has always been good at everything he does..."basketball, baseball, and wrestling." Anything other than sports, ya lunkhead?

- We go back to the AJs. David seems to think he is going to win this entire competition and says it would be a shocker if he doesn't. I don't know what he is smoking but I want some. The guys are gonna race in a triathalon. They are going to swim, ride a bike, and run...winner of the race gets a private date with Larissa. She is, of course, in a bikini again. Apparently, she likes to show off her body in order to get the guys fired up for competition. The swimming part was first. Boston Brian needed to be rescued from the water and was DQed. He lets us know he is no iron man by telling us, "Iyyaan meein I am nawt (iron man, I am not)." Thomas started to struggle as well but luckily Larissa was in a boat nearby and helped pull him out of the water. David wasn't a good swimmer, hence his wearing a life-vest and doing the doggie paddle, and took 30 minutes to finish the swimming portion. Everyone else was done with the whole race before he was out of the water. But David says he isn't going to quit. LoL. But then he gets to the mountain bikes and can't do it because he doesn't know how to ride a bike so he is DQed. Mike won the race and told Larissa, "I'm tired but I was hoping there was gonna be a prize and it had something to do with you." Mike wins a date for winning and Sean wins a date for his effort and finishing.

- Mike and Larissa go on their date. They take a boat into the ocean and see some dolphins leaping out of the water. Then they go parasailing. Mike took this time to tell Larissa about his past drug problems. Larissa was a bit overwhelmed by that info. Too much, too soon there buddy! After that, they went and had a little picnic. She is showing off her belly AGAIN!! But I'm not complaining. Mike gives Larissa some kissy kissy to end the date.

- Next is her date with Sean. He is going to cook her a meal. She is in the kitchen, which is rather hot, watching him as he sweats his ass off. After dinner, they went back to Larissa's to hop into the jacuzzi. She's looking good and in a bikini, as usual. Sean is a bit overweight, making him feel a bit insecure. Larissa tries to help make him more comfortable by sliding closer to him. But, off camera, she admits she doesn't usually go for guys that don't take care of their bodies. Sean blows it when he has a chance to kiss her. He hugs her instead...TWICE!! *sigh* I've done that before.

- It's elimination night and everyone is a bit edgy, even Larissa, who is upset at the thought of having to send someone home. They all notice the yacht offshore and wonder what it's all about. The guys think maybe it is their next date but when Larissa arrives and tells them she has no idea what it is doing there, they all seem baffled. The guys all comment on how great she looks and they all get some time with her. Brian G. tells her he has no special skills but hopes to be able to make her smile. Boston Brian makes me laugh when he spits out, "How aww ya?" And David continues to be a dork by telling Larissa she is a "stellar superstar." He is so lame.

- Everyone gathers in the house where Larissa tells them that things are going to be different. She reads a note, telling them there has been a change of plans and there is no elimination. Woohoo! The guys are all happy. They celebrate with some champagne. Then another note arrives. Larissa reads it..."everything is about to change." There is a knock on the door and Hunk #1 comes in. He is the same guy who was in episode 1 that told her about the guys coming. Larissa has a smile on her face! The AJs feel a bit uncomfortable...and then it gets worse. One by one, all 8 hunks come in and introduce themselves to Larissa. She couldn't help but smile the entire time. The leader of the hunks let's the AJs know, "We're your new roommates...and your competition!"

-The previews for next week show the AJs and the "hunks" arguing as the voice-over let's all of us at home know there is a beautiful woman at stake...or was it steak?

Some More Thoughts...

- The whole "hunk" storyline was corny as hell. To keep flashing back to these guys was pointless...yes, we know they are coming! It's really sad that they spent almost half of this show making a big drama out of the himbos coming in. And then they had to keep replaying their cocky comments in order to drill into our heads that these guys are assholes! Somehow, I think some of these guys aren't such dicks but some probably are. I'm sure they were told by the producers to say cocky crap so that the viewers would hate them. They need the drama and for them to clash with the AJs. Plus, since the hunks came off so well in AJ1, the producers probably didn't want the same thing to happen here and hence, the evil angle is played. And why should I care how many nautical miles the hunks' yacht is from AJ Island???

- As far as the hunks themselves...are they that full of themselves? I'm guessing yes and no. Yes, they probably are but no, they probably don't say those kinds of things very often, if at all. These guys are way too tan. There is a reason average guys dont look like that with the muscles and crap. It is because they actually have LIVES! These guys seem more interested in competing with the Joes than actually gaining the attention of Larissa. Maybe a little gay? As they entered to introduce themselves at the end, Larissa was smiling. She even had to hide her face with the note so the Joes couldn't see how thrilled she was that she didn't have to stare at them anymore. Was she happy that there is finally some eye candy? Probably. Or maybe she was smiling because she was shocked and didn't see this coming? Possible...but I doubt she cared.

- I wonder if Larissa realizes yet that she is just a prize piece of meat. I'm sure she does but I'm also sure she is used to it. She just wants her 15 minutes. She'll deal with these guys in order to gain her exposure, even David, who worships her wayyyy too much. And yes, she'll continue to give out pity kisses to these guys who she feels she is way too good for.
