Trashy Friday: Are You the One? and Girl Code

Welcome back to another delicious edition of Trashy Fridays! This week we will be covering MTV's Are You the One? and Girl Code. Let's get to the trashiness!

Are You the One?

We go back to this series after everyone remaining in the house has made 0 progress in finding their matches. They have 3 episodes left to do so in order to win the money.  Everyone is feeling the pressure to find their matches. Miss. Wendy's says that she'd still do Anthony even though they aren't perfect matches. (Again, seriously, I really don't like you, and why does everyone seem to want Anthony..?)  Brad starts a pointless argument with everyone, saying he feels like he's the smartest because he has a college degree. (Haha, what?) 

The next day, the competitors couple up and play a game with solo cups.  For this game, the girls have to make a pyramid with the cups with their mouths.  One of them is gross and says "Oh, bigger things have been in my mouth." (Whyyy..?)  Bri, Anthony, Jen, and Garland are eliminated after this round. Then the girls must eat 5 hot dogs. Miss. Wendy's, Layton, Cristina, and Nathan are eliminated after this because they couldn't keep the dogs down. (Honestly, they looked so gross...)  Finally, the girls have to dip their buns in honey and the guys must use them to collect colored balls that are in a bin. (What is the point of this exactly?) Jenni and John win this game and are able to go on a date. 

To help them find their matches (since they all really need the help), all of the couples get to go on a get away date on a huge party bus.   During the party Brad sees Cristina connect with Nate, which upsets him. (Seriously, just play to win the game! He even starts splashing the water when she kisses him. Really...) Everyone is dancing, making out, and maybe having sex at this party... I guess they are connecting well?  Garland has a quickie with Tyler and this makes her very upset. John and Jennie go on their date in tubs on the next day. (Everyone in the house seems to be connecting a lot better in this episode.) 

At the house, everyone is arguing because they can't decide on which couple to put in the truth booth. Half want to put the obvious couple, while the other wants to use one couple to get rid of Cristina. (Since she is the 11th girl.) After the vote, Jon and Jenni are going into the truth booth. Jon and Jenni are a perfect match. 

Now the guys choose their girl for the money truth match. Shelby reveals that she and Curtis can't sleep with each other because he still has feelings for Bri.  Dario chooses Ashley.  Alex chooses Jasmine. Layton chooses Miss. Wendy's. Brandon chooses Tyler, but he says he will still fight for Cristina. Tyler and Bri say that he is so annoying and they don't want him. Brandon won't be able to fall in love with any of these girls, besides Cristina. It's really sad and annoying. Anthony chooses Bri. Nate chooses Cristina. (OMG, Brandon is being so annoying. Let Cristina go! That's what she wants...) Garland chooses Jess. Alex is left alone tonight.  The lights reveal that they have 6 perfect matches. 

Next week's episode looks really intense and I see some conflicts arising. I still don't like this show but it is really trashy. The last clip I saw, everyone was feeling how weird Jess's boobs are...

Girl Code

For this episode, the girls take on the Christmas season. They first discuss how to get into the holiday spirit. They say it's great how no one will judge you for shopping too much, making crafts, or getting fat. (Well I don't think the last one is true, but gaining weight happens. You just need to stay on track!)  

Next they discuss decorating traditions. Some of them are really stupid. I think it's nice when the family can get together and decorate, no matter what age you are. 

The girls then discuss food. Yes, we all know that people tend to eat bad food like crazy during the holiday season. Everyone seems to agree just to enjoy yourself during this time and worry about dieting later. I think this message is okay, but don't overdue it! 

The next issue, which I feel is important, is if it is okay to be single during the holidays. (YES!!! You don't need another person to be happy!) It seems that families put a lot of pressure on girls to just have a guy during this time of the year. This pressure causes girls to get something known as a Holiday Boyfriend, a boyfriend that you have only from November to early February. OMG this idea is very stupid! I do not see the point in this type of relationship.  The girls also say that having a boyfriend during this time is just a hassle and it isn't worth it. So ladies, just be happy if you are single, there is nothing wrong with it at all! Don't complain about it and do not go out and find someone just to have someone. 

Then they talk about giving and receiving gifts, especially gifts for your significant other. Apparently no one is really great at giving gifts to these people.  In my opinion, especially for the holidays, you must be happy that they tried. But seriously, if you don't have a clue what to get them, ask their friends and it should help. 

Lastly, the girls talk about parties. They think it is fun to be able to get hammered and dress a little more costume-y this time of year.  You must be careful not to get too drunk, and be cautious because you don't always know which drinks are spiked.  

This episode was really cute and the holiday season theme, though it's too early, is very exciting. I love that time of year and this episode was really good!
