Previously on I Love New York 2: Buddha returned, much to the dismay of Tailor Made. Mr. Boston returned to cook with ranch dressing, much to the dismay of people who love food. Wolf was eliminated, much to the dismay of his penis, which never got a chance to prove its worth. New York guest starred on Nip/Tuck, much to my dismay, as I love that show.


New York's goal for tonight's episode is to find out as much as she can about the remaining six guys, so she invited their exes to the mansion. 

Punk's ex-girlfriend is Chrystal.  The Entertainer gets Megan, a bigger girl, and Mr. Wise gets Kia.  For Tailor Made, it's his soon-to-be ex-wife, Nancy.  New York is not impressed, comparing her to Wesley Snips in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar

Buddha and Pretty gets their sisters, and New York is suspicious that their most recent exes aren't there.  However, she explained that Buddha's ex-girlfriend can't be there because she's crazy and he has a restraining order against her, so she has no right to be upset with him.

The exes go off to speak with New York and Sister Patterson one by one, while the men are led down to an interrogation room where they meet Chance and Real, two of the men from season 1.  The issue with Tailor Made is that he's still married.  The strike against him is that he  falls in love too easily.  Chance and Real are insane, loudly yelling at the men.  Megan drops the bomb that The Entertainer is living in his parents' basement.

Punk is not scared of these weak losers, and he gets so upset he flips the table and threatens to kick some ass.  Kia and Mr. Wise were off and on for about four years.  He claims she's still in love with him.  We get an intercut of his and her stories not jiving.

Thais tells New York about her brother Buddha's crazy stalker ex-girlfriend.   Buddha has a bit of a violent streak, but he's never hit a woman.  Lashonda, Pretty's sister,  gets interrogated about the possibility of him being gay, and while that isn't decided, New York is certain he's hiding something.

When the questioning is over, New York goes to have dinner with Chance and Real to go over the answers, while the exes prepare for a party.  At dinner, New York wants to get wild and crazy with Chance, because she's a dirty, dirty ho who claims to be looking for love, then lusts after a man who she turned away in season 1, but if any of the men in the house even think about another woman, they're filthy cheaters.

They agree that Punk is definitely there for New York, but Chance still hates him.  The men also dismiss Tailor Made, but New York says there's something they don't know about him.  Yeah, his bank account.  New York thinks Buddha's temper has the potential to send him home.  You mean like it already did several episodes ago?  Gee, who could've guessed that he has a temper?  They go over Pretty, who is a huge liar.

Pretty gets upset that New York asked his sister when he lost his virginity.  Calling out New York on being tactless is one of those futile exercises.  New York gets home, and Sister Patterson is angry with her daughter for being flirty with Chance and Real.  She is the best mother ever, given these circumstances.  Buddha hears about this, and goes to confront Chance.  When they do, Chance gets defensive, and New York comes along to defend him and she's more concerned with him than the actual guys in the house.  Chance and Real finally leave, and the mixer starts.

Tailor Made's story checks out, but Mr. Wise's doesn't.  New York wants to talk to Pretty, but he just walks off because he still doesn't like her talk with his sister.  New York suddenly tries to flip it by saying she wants him gone, but girl, he's already gone.  I realize this whole show is supposed to be about you and your choices, but he just did it himself, and there's no way you can spin that in your favor.

I Love New York 2 Elimination Time!  There are plenty of questions.  Will someone go in addition to Pretty?  Why is there even a season 2 if she still has feelings for Chance?  Punk asks her about that last one point blank, because he wants her to bring him back if she does,so he can win this knowing she wants him and only him.  She claims that if she was in love with Chance, none of them would be there right now.  That's not entirely true, as the only reason they're here now is to satisfy her massive ego and need to be on television.  She apologizes to the men and assures them she has no interest in Chance.

Buddha isn't satisfied, and she says it was just a weak moment of temptation.  Then how can you promise there will be no more moments like that in the future?  You can't, and all the tears can't wash that truth away.  Everything settles down, and with Pretty gone, no one else is getting eliminated.

Next time on I Love New York 2: The guys are given a Rorschach test and other psychological exams from New York's personal therapist to help find her a mate.  Honey, all the therapy in the world ain't gonna help you.
