L.C.S. Episode #209: Corey Holcomb OUT!

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 21st, 2004

They’re baaaack, all right. And they did just what we thought they would with the repatriated House members. They got to vote. They influenced matters and they made everyone generally nervous. Just what the reality TV doctor ordered!

And what happened? Corey Holcomb is bounced out of the house and will not be one of the final five.

Luckiest person in this episode? Tammy Pescatelli, of course, for gaining immunity. They all should hang their heads in shame for not having a television show pitch ready. After all, they did basically the same thing last year for one of the immunity challenges! (Besides, even cab drivers in L.A. have a sitcom idea ready. Hell they can pitch anyone in the time it takes to drive you from NBC to Burbank Airport!)

They had us going for a short while there– When Tammy read the card that said, “But will it play in Peoria,” I honestly thought the immunity challenge would be a plane ride to Peoria– To play the Jukebox, a real comedy club…in Peoria! How would that be for a challenge? You gotta go kick ass in a club in Illinois!

No. Just pitching to a sourpuss focus group.

Todd Glass was everything we thought he would be upon re-entering The House. Seeing his big ol’ head come through that door was priceless.

Once again, we’re reminded of our very own words on this website two weeks ago (Wednesday, July 7, at 1:05PM to be exact):

It is a crucial flaw in this show that the folks who lose the head-to-head competition are summarily dismissed from the house… banished forever, never to interact with their old compadres. Which Larry Lightbulb came up with that feature? This is why they should toss everybody back in The House! (With minor adjustments, of course!)

Pardon us… we’re gloating.
Stay tuned. We’d write more, but we’ve gotta get some sleep before departing for Montreal.
