Glass House Commercial? Teaser?
This is a different video, because Erica is lying in bed, Andrea is sitting on top of it, and they’re both wearing mittens (ha!). I wonder how this conversation might have gone differently if they’d both been wearing earmuffs. Erica starts asking Andrea is she’s against “gay marriage.” I hate that phrase, people. As long as you call it “gay marriage,” you’re also drawing a distinction. It’s just marriage. Jeffrey isn’t back there “gay cooking” and he didn’t gay sleep in his gay bed last night. It’s. just. marriage. Really. Andrea goes off on the old party line, “Why do they have to redefine marriage?” It’s not about redefining anything. A marriage is a loving, committed relationship between two people. It’s about opening your mind a crack.
Oh, wait. You probably want to know what’s happening in the video, not what I think. “Why can’t we call it a ‘civil union’?” Jeffrey explains “separate but equal” to her. Maybe someone should explain that, unlike people, abstract concepts or words are not entitled to civil rights. Andrea says that they should agree to disagree. Jeffrey tells her that, on some issues, you can’t do that. It’s not ok for a “privileged white lady” to vote against people who didn’t happen to hit that genetic lottery. She says that she respects him as a person, and Jeffrey rightfully explains what when a person votes to take away someone’s civil rights, they do not respect that person. He’s so upset he leaves. Andrea tries to act all injured because Jeffrey is personally attacking her. He swoops right back into the room, “And a vote against equality isn’t a person attack, Andrea?” She rolls her eyes and sighs, “My goodness.” Oh, those silly gays, Andrea! Isn’t it so tiresome the way they want to be treated like human beings all the time? They’re so uppity!
You have a right to your beliefs. Luckily, I have a right to tell you that those beliefs make you a terrible human being.
Belly Dance
Stephanie tells Apollo and Robin that she did belly dancing for five years, so she can give a little lesson. Apollo teaches them Middle Eastern dancing. He calls it “change the lightbulb” and “wash the windshield.” Gene wanders in and out, and Apollo tells her to do the Contra Code. “A, B, A, B, Select Start,” she says. Honey, you forgot up-down, up-down, right-left, right left.” Robin says that she has has scarves, so Stephanie starts giving them both a lesson. Andrea walks in to get something out of the closet, and she is staring at them, completely appalled, until Apollo says, “I hope they aren’t streaming right now.” I think that’s a good way to ensure that you get a video posted - say you don’t want anyone to see it. I never noticed how large Robin’s breasts were until just this moment. Now, I can’t UN-see it. Stephanie says, “That’s all I know, unless you want to learn chemistry stuff.” She’s adorable.
Double Charade
Everyone is playing charades. It’s Joy’s turn, but Kevin suggests that Gene act it out with him. I think Kevin says that he wants them to act out Robin doing the worm? I have no idea. It’s a movie. It’s basically just Joy ignoring Gene as he tries to tell her to clean the floor. Whatever this movie is, I don’t think I’ve seen it. They have no idea either, so they just start narrating the charade instead of trying to guess it. They are such bad guessers that Joy starts trying to tell them what she’s doing. She’s not allowed, so she steps aside and Gene starts over. He’s doing much better alone than they were together, but…. did Mike just guess that Gone with the Wind is a British movie? Kevin is trying to help, but he’s talking about things like slashing tires and sausage, and I don’t know what he’s talking about. Gene finally starts doing what you’re supposed to do in charades, which is leading them to guess that it’s four words and the third word is “a”. Don’t give a crap? That’s probably not it. It’s Rebel Without a Cause. Did one of them say that Marlon Brando is in that? Whatever. I’m done, and so is the video.
Erica Strategy
Everyone at the dining room table. Erica asks if they can do an old-fashioned pilgrim shunning if Alex comes back up. Do not talk to him, ignore him entirely, walk right through him. Gene said they shouldn’t physically initiate contact, because they’ll get kicked out. They all agree that he will be shunned - Scarlett Letter, style. They have to actually refrain from reacting to him. Joy says that, if she cooks and food is out, she’s not going to tell him that he can’t eat. That’s sweet. Gene says that’s fine, as long as she doesn’t invite him to eat. Steph says that if he displays remorse, she’ll feel really bad for him. If he stops being a jerk, Stephanie and Joy both don’t know if they can continue to ignore him. Stephanie then says that she needs a challenge-exemption because, if he winds up on her team, she isn’t going to lose the team just because Alex is such a douche. Erica wants them all to ignore him 100%, but they eventually agree that players who are on Alex’s team for the challenge can talk to him during the challenge (so as not to throw it, Gene? Oh, the irony.)
