Wednesday Spoiler
The show starts with “Zack” from Passions dropping off uniforms and challenging the women to a game of softball. Bethany says that she has taped Passions everyday for four years. They split the teams with half the women and half the men playing together on a team. Cassie embarrasses herself by running the wrong way!! She says in voice over that this proves that she needs the SO house. Bethany seems to be a very good player. At the end of the game Bethany tells the guys that she has never been kissed in her entire life. In confessional she says she looked at those guys and figured she would just go for it! (woo hoo Bethany. I say let’s get that whole virgin thing out of the way while you’re at it! Just kidding!!!!!) One of the guys says that she is in luck because they happen to have a professional, which I think was “Zack”, but I might be wrong. They take a picture with one guy on each side of her, kissing her on the cheeks!!! (booooo! Personally I don’t think on the cheek counts!)
Rhonda is leading group and they all give Bethany a hard time about being kissed. She actually earns a step today. They all have their shirts autographed.
The subject today is the difference between fantasy and reality. Rhonda asks if they have a fantasy do they ever think that it is actually possible. Vanessa says her fantasy if the husband, two kids, a dog and a house. Rhonda asks Bethany if today’s kiss was fantasy or reality. Bethany giggles and says it was definitely a reality. Rhonda says that if the kiss was just a fantasy thing that Bethany would never have had the guts to ask for it. Fantasy keeps you from making your desires a reality.
At the end of group, Rachel asks if Iyanla is coming today and Rhonda says no and then makes her come sit in the love seat. Rachel is laughing. Rhonda asks Rachel why she needs Iyanla and Rachel says that today is a big day for her because she is mailing her album today. Rhonda says to tell them what is going on and Rachel says the others already know and she fills Rhonda in and Rhonda calls for a group hug. Cassie rides with Rachel to go mail her album. Rachel tells Cassie that she really appreciates her support. In confessional Rachel says that she feels closest to Cassie because of their similar stories.
Bethany meets with Rhonda. Rhonda asks Bethany how it felt to ask for the kiss and Bethany said she couldn’t imagine letting the opportunity pass. Rhonda says that her next assignment is to rid herself of her charade. She tells Bethany to go get Renee. Rhonda says that Bethany is going to have a kissing booth and that Renee is running the booth. They are going to raise money for charity. Bethany asks if Renee can go first and Rhonda says that Renee is not doing any kissing. Bethany is the kissee. Bethany goes from laughing to crying and Rhonda asks her what is going on and Bethany says that not one man will pay to kiss her. She says that she doesn’t understand why Rhonda would want to put that fat girl behind the table to sell kisses. Rhonda basically tells her that she is wrong and asks her if she will do the assignment. Rhonda asks her what she thinks she is thinking. Rhonda tells her that she never thought she was putting a fat girl there. She tells Bethany that she wants her to put the “fantasy” behind her. Rhonda says that she knows this is scary and a real risk for her but she has faith in her. Bethany tells her that she trusts her and she will do the assignment.
Rhonda is now with Vanessa. She has a podium set up. She puts a bronze medal on her and asks her what the bronze means and Vanessa says it means you did a bad job. Rhonda puts a silver on her. Vanessa says that in a way it is worse because you were so close but still failed. Rhonda puts the gold on her and Vanessa says it means attention for her. She says that by not winning, it is like she had wasted her life. Vanessa says that she feels bad for letting down the people who had supported her. Rhonda asks what she wished that they had said to her. Vanessa said she wishes that they had told her it was okay and that they had noticed how upset she was. Vanessa says that she wants to tell them she is sorry for giving up.
Rachel, Renee and Bethany leave to go set up her kissing booth. Bethany says in confessional that she just can’t figure out what Rhonda thinks she is going to learn from this.
Rhonda takes Cassie up to the loft. She tells Cassie that the birth father called and said
That because of his broken relationship with his ex-wife and son that he does not feel comfortable meeting with Cassie but that he is giving her the phone number of his 2nd ex-wife who raised Dustin from the ages of 2 til 10. Her name is Shelly.
Vanessa calls her mom and her mom, Nanette, asks her how it is going and Vanessa tells her that even if she left the house today that they would see a different person. She tells her mom that she realized that she was blaming others and she already feels like a big weight has been lifted off.
Cassie and Rhonda call Shelly who raised Dustin from age 2 to 10. She agrees to come to the Starting Over house and she says that she will bring pictures and stories. It appears that the adoptive father has already kind of clued her in because she said that they have already been putting some pictures together and also she doesn’t seem to be thrown but his call. Cassie is very happy.
Renee, Rachel and Cassie start setting up the table and Bethany has her first taker before they even get things set up. Rachel tells a guy that Bethany has never been kissed and he says he wants to be first. He pays her a dollar and puts his arms around and tells her to loosen up and gives her a peck on the lips. Then we lots clips of lots of guys kissing all three of them. They get back to the house and Bethany is telling Candy and Vanessa about it. She had a lot of fun and they raised $32.80. Candy says to tell her about the 80 cents and Bethany says that a homeless guy gave it to her, she thinks he felt sorry for her.
Bethany only had to raise $20. Then Bethany calls Rhonda and tells her and Rhonda asks her if she had fun and was it an adventure and Bethany says yes. Rhonda asks what Bethany learned from this and Bethany says that she realizes that she needs to loosen up and just have fun.
Cassie is getting ready for bed and in confessional she says that what has kept her strong is that she has never forgotten when she looked into her sons eyes when he was born.
Preview- Renee is meeting with Iyanla and her mom and she is confronting her about the time she was molested.
Vanessa is meeting with Dr. Stan and talking about her world crashing when she lost at the trials.
