Sober House with Dr. Drew episodes: 1-3, 4
Dr. Drew Arrives to Madness
Everyone is still hot from last episode and Dr. Drew has arrived to get Heidi Fleiss sober for the night because she tested positive for meth. I’m sure she stayed with Will Smith this episode because everyone does. Dr. Drew takes everyone out to eat and say it isn’t an activity, but he just felt everyone needed to get out more. He also says he needs to start coming by more.
Dennis Rodman is a Rock
Dennis Rodman, in Rodman language, explains how Heidi knows exactly how to set Tom Sizemore off and did so simply by offering him sushi. Rodman explains this too the group who is super surprised at how aware he is and then he just turns off and does whatever it is Rodzilla does when he isn’t talking or rebounding. He’s like a switch.
Penny Flame Makes the Banana Fight Strange
Crazy Town front man Seth Binzer and adult model Kendra Jade Rossi are in the hot tub with adult star Jennie Ketcham. Sounds like this is going to be great right? Seth peals a banana and starts playfully attacking Kendra with it. She laughs and does the same. I mean you’re in Sober House you’re bound to get bored and do silly things. You have to allow and encourage this because as long as it ain’t drugs it’s great. Jennie watches smoking a cig and looking kind of crazy. Up until this point the best behaved and most normal drama free residents have been Kendra and Jennie. So Jennie takes it upon herself to flip out. Apparently hitting someone in the face to her means you want to have sex. Seth and Kendra aren’t sure how to take this comment and keep playing. Jennie flips out and storms off in a dramatic rage. Kendra says she doesn’t get Jennie and how she ties everything to sex. She also masturbates to law and order. Is the editing so poor on this show that we could not have been made aware of little personality blips like….she’s crazy? How did the producers fail to draw our attention to this until half way through the series?
Waterfall Climbing
Jennie wakes everyone in the house up to go waterfall climbing in her super short shorts. I’m not sure if she saw the dailies from the first few episodes or what, but she has stepped up the crazy big time. Now Kendra has to pick it up too by going to the waterfall and then refusing to climb, but laying out in her bikini. This episode is about T&A people. As the group climbs, I use the term “group” loosely because Tom Sizemore, Mike Starr, and Heidi Fleiss are not present; Kendra and Jennie fight with one another. We also learn that Jennifer Gimenez fell over a year ago and fractured some vertebrae.
Mike is Dope Sick and No One is Making it Easy
Mike is all over the place with his emotions and is also in a lot of pain. He smokes like most recovering bass players. The residents can’t have matches or lighters, for some reason, so he can only use the stove to light a cig. Then he forgets to go outside and sits down because he’s DOPESICK. Then Jennifer Gimenez comes in and starts flipping out and feeling all disrespected. Come on he’s sick and you need to grow some skin. He’s not personally attacking you, but everything is about you. It’s just bad bad drama. Mike is trying to be nice, but it’s really hard when people hassle you about stupid crap. Just remind him about the smoking policy and then ask him to go outside. When he complies thank him. By berating him you not only remind him that he’s in the wrong, which makes him angry at himself for not remembering, you then give him a target for his junkie anger which he then takes out on you. If you’re nice to him then the anger can only attack him. If he can learn to cope then he can deal with his actions and not seek someone to blame.
