LAST WEEK: After a relatively uneventful week in Key West that included a drag competition, the girls decided that they were fed up with Janelle (in general) and mutually agreed to kick her out of the house. BUT WAIT: a new girl appears, and she's about to stir up trouble!
Janelle fought back against the girls, fed up with being the house target. Teresa was sent home after kicking her near the eye, making Janelle Public Enemy #1.
Oh how I love new girls, especially ones that change up the group dynamic, for better or for worse, ESPECIALLY when the house has a current target. And it looks like this new girl will be taking a leaf from Season 2 by pouring hot sauce in the girls' juice. Tanisha Thomas would be furious!
So it's time to finally meet this leggy, tall, blonde new girl! Her name is Andrea, 21 and from Kansas, and she arrives just as the girls arrive home from Key West. Until now, the producers have been hiding her face in promos, I guess to make it all the more exciting, and it definitely worked on me.
Andrea loves, loves, loves to drink, a country girl with a badass attitude who has learned to embrace the "dumb blonde" image in order to get her way. She's a total Barbie girl and I really like her so far. It's also great that she's anti-bullying, as I'm getting rather bored with the "We Hate Janelle" club.
Andrea arrives in her hot pink, tight dress and platinum blonde weave, and Jaz nicknames her "Becky," because all white girls like that look like a "Becky" to her. Steph is annoyed that there's a new person in the house, but Janelle is excited, of course, because can you say ally?
Andrea instantly notices that the other girls have a bad attitude towards her, but she warms up right away to her new roomie, Janelle, who is a Barbie just like her. Upstairs, the other girls discuss how Janelle "took away" Teresa, even though Teresa really did it to herself by getting needlessly involved in a fight, and being the group-thinkers that they are, they decide to have a dreaded "House Meeting" in which they announce to Janelle that she's gotta go.
They tried this on Nikki Gallady in Season 5, they tried it on Sarah this season, and of course, it never worked...because this isn't "Survivor," and you can't just kick someone out that you don't like. Come on now, girls.
So anyway, they call the meeting and tell Janelle that she's going home, promising to make her life hell so she'll leave. They add that she's no longer welcome upstairs, at their table at the club, at lunch...and generally act like total cliquey mean girls.
"They're ganging up on this poor little black Barbie thing," laments Andrea, who feels bad for her and decides to bring Janelle out with her that night. Janelle is surprised at the kind gesture, but of course Jaz overhears their conversation over being the "black and white Barbies" and gets offended, and recalls the non-problem to her gang of girls. Naturally, they start plotting to get them both out, and it's so, so petty.
Shanae, who hated Janelle from the beginning and absolutely loves that she's turned the whole house against her, predicts that Janelle will trash talk all of them to the new girl, but decides to wait and see if Andrea can make up her own mind.
At the club, Andrea is absolutely f***ing bonkers. She screams, throws her weave around, punches the chairs and it's totally hilarious watch Janelle's reaction. Stingy Janelle is a bit thrown off, but decides to give her a chance since it's all she really has at this point.
If you can't be with the ones you love...
Janelle's drunken antics carry over into the limo ride home, and it's so refreshing to see someone act so blantantly weird on this show for once. Oh, how I miss Judi Jai! Back home, the other girls try to talk to her in the kitchen and try to find out what she's about. Probably not the best idea when she's totally hammered...
Hilariously, the producers create a little animated cartoon to go along with her drunken autobiography of growing up in Washington state with a "fence, bears and mountain lions that ate the horses." The girls are all WTF.
The girls talk s**t about Janelle and the new girl downstairs, but up in their new room, Andrea and Janelle go to bed with a pact on their mind: they're going to stand up to the mean girls and defend their place in the house, no matter what happens.
The next morning, Janelle and Andrea go out to run errands and go shopping, where Janelle explains the whole situation to Andrea as to why the girls don't like her, citing her long weave as the "entire problem." It's amazing
Back at the house, some guy from the "Love Games" spin-off sends the girls flowers, whom the girls deem "Bad Girls" groupies, which well...yeah.
Shanae, however, is intrigued by Jordan's advances, and calls him to thank him for the flowers on behalf of the girls. She agrees to party with him at the club later, because that's pretty much like invited to a romantic dinner on this show.
That night, the girls head out to a South Beach restaurant, sans Andrea and Janelle of course, to keep doing their favorite thing: talking s**t and trying to come up with ways to kick out Janelle. My God, can't you guys just have fun and forget it?! I mean, I know you guys have no cell phones, limited internet access and no TV, but REALLY?
Back at the house, Andrea is plotting some mean pranks to drive the girls crazy. She and Janelle pour dirt in their make-up, and it really reminds me of Kate and Natalie's pranks from season 4, only they put laxatives in the cookies and it was way funnier. Ironically, when the other girls get home (not knowing that their make-up is now full of dirty!), they want to play pranks too, so they throw plotted plants in front of their doors to block Andrea and Janelle from getting out. It's...not nearly as cruel as the make-up dirt but kind of lame.
Andrea thinks so too, seeing as it's five against two and that's the best they could come up with. The next morning in the make-up room, Andrea laughs as the girls complain about their make-up having "weird textures". Andrea and Janelle head out go bowling, which is boring in theory, but they promise it will be fun.
And yeah, we get some filler footage of them bowling, and...it's kind of a snoozefest set to some catchy Oxygen-approved music, until Andrea starts drinking like crazy at what I imagine is barely 4 p.m. yet. She starts jumping around, yelling excitedly and generally flipping out, and Janelle's facial expressions are hilarious.
That night, most of the main group of girls head to a club where Jordan brings a bottle to their VIP table. And yeah, Shanae is feeling butterflies and invites him home, totally going for his flirtatious advances. He asks her out, because he's a player, of course, but it's kind of funny to see how Tiana reacts. She's totally pressed and not feeling him, deeming him a groupie. Well, she's not wrong.
Back at Bowling While Blasted, which I guess means they've been there all day or the editors are messing with our perception of time, Andrea is still talking nonsense while Janelle encourages her to just relax and come home. Andrea promises to pop off on the girls if they attack her new friend. She then starts crying and admits deep down, she's a nasty mean person when it comes to bullies. Janelle predicts that something will go down soon.
I predict not.
A drunken Andrea returns home mumbling and groaning like a gremlin, and the girls comment on how weird she is. She first confronts GiGi and accuses her of bullying Janelle. Being the kind, reasonable people that they are, the girls yell at Andrea for getting involved and began promising to make her life a living hell as well.
Andrea calls them out for running in a pack like they're wolves, and she's not entirely wrong about the mob mentality they've got going on. So Andrea decides to up the ante and pour hot sauce in the girls' juices. It's gross, and Janelle knows it will start World War III.
The next morning, Jordan calls Shanae and asks her out and yawn...I really don't want to sit through this. However, Shanae admits she is wary of Jordan due to past experiences.
While Janelle has no problem ignoring the other girls, Andrea is really letting it get to her. We cut to Jaz realizing that there's hot sauce in their juice, and she's pretty pissed. It's very Tanisha Thomas, but without the hilarity involved.
Jaz decides to retaliate by pouring tomato juice all over Andrea's bed. In her talking-head, Andrea declares that the games have officially begun.
Jaz confronts Andrea and tells her she wants to fight her, and keeps calling her "Becky" and it's pretty funny, especially when Andrea goes, "Becky? My name's not Becky. What does that mean?"
Janelle and Andrea leave the house to avoid the drama. Back home, the girls spit in the girls' stuff and, calling themselves The Wolfgang News, do a fake news report in the confessional on their mattress and room re-decorating! They completely destroy their room, and out with Janelle in the car, Andrea says she regrets starting the prank war, because she's afraid of getting jumped.
When the girls come home, the other girls have their hair up in bandanas and are wearing their fighting clothes. Jaz promises to show Andrea what a bully is in her talking-head.
"Welcome to the jungle!" the girls announce upon Andrea and Janelle's arrival. Andrea sees her bed covered in sauce and plants and other nastiness, her mirrors ruined as well. But to the dismay of the girls, ahe and Janelle just go to bed in Janelle's bed. The other girls can't believe someone wouldn't get upset and pop off over this, as they wanted a fight! How else can they poke at them?
GiGi and co. decide to wake them up, throwing champagne on them, but realizing they won't wake up, decide to call it a day...until randomly, they scare the girls in the middle of the night by banging on the window and screaming, and Janelle isn't impressed.
The next day, Teresa calls Jaz, who insists she's still going to make "mophead" leave because she misses her girl Teresa, whom of course she blames for Teresa going home.
Andrea decides not to let the girls get to her and announces she's here to stay. She calls her friend and announces she might get jumped, which I really don't see happening, but alright.
Steph realizes her face is breaking out like crazy and decides to call a dermatologist. Janelle loves it, because she put the dirt in her make-up! She makes fun of all of the girls in her talking-head, and you know she's gonna catch it for this at the reunion!
Shanae answers the phone, and it's Jordan asking for Jaz. He invites them to come on a yacht with them, and it's obvious the producers told him to specifically ask for Jaz just to stir up some trouble. I bet you real money they instructed him to hit on Shanae too. Shanae claims she isn't bothered by him not telling her about the yacht party, but you know she kind of is.
So after the girls get their bikinis on, the yacht arrives right to their door, as they live on the water, and the girls are excited to get crazy, even though GiGi doesn't think the guys on board are her type. But really, who knows what GiGi's type is...and who cares?
Lots of drinking, dancing and twerking go down, of course, and predictably, Shanae is annoyed that Jordan is flirting with other girls on the boat. She confronts him, and it's kind of sad that she's falling for all of his bulls***t, but I commend her for calling him out...but you know, they end up making out, so wash.
To her credit, she decides to keep him in the friend category. A wise decision.
Back at the house, Tiana confronts Janelle and tells her that she has to kick her out as she agreed to on behalf of Teresa, even though she admits that she doesn't really have much of a problem with Janelle. Janelle just kind of stares at her. Jaz jumps into the conversation and accuses Janelle making excuses....or something, I'm not entirely sure. Bad Girl logic is often confusing.

Janelle comes to the conclusion that the girls have no real motive to kick her out other than their promise to Teresa. Janelle accuses them of not sitting down and getting to know her, but Jaz says she doesn't need to get to know her, end of. Well, OK.
We end on that note, along with a blurry future clip of a fight involving fists.
NEXT WEEK: More Janelle and Andrea vs. the Wolfgang Pack. The girls finally use those baby monitors to spy on the girls and Tiana gets in a fight with...a guy? I'll watch so you don't have to, and of course, I'll tell you all about it!
