Episode Three recap:

6/29/04 The show begins with the cast and producers discussing the days events and Ingrid's suspicions.  Over breakfast everyone is wishing Tim a happy birthday and Elenor (The weeper) discovers her necklace is missing (as planned).  Tim promises to find the locket before the end of the day.

The proiducers tell Ambrosia to turn up the heat - and she does just that by picking on Eleanor  and Cammy.  She tells Elenor to "chill" about the locket and then while sitting as a group she comments on Austin's actions the night before when he was man-handling Cammy.  Cammy gets defensive and goes off on Ambrosia about breasts.  While talking fast she says "Ja..."  almost saying her own name.  Some of the cast felt Ingrid picked up on it (one more thing to make her feel things are weird).

Derek enters the room with the frog that Bryce gave Piper - relaying that Piper feels she can no longer take care of him.  He then reveals that there will be an elimination in the evening and only the women will attend (hmmmm me thinks they are trying to seperate Tim and Ingrid).

Bryce seems to feel the frog wants to go back to Piper because it is climbing against the side of it's container - Tim tells him it just needs a bigger cage.  Bryce gets defensive and leaves the room.  Tim laughs and tells the others its "weird o'clock' today.

Later the folks played an amazing innuendo filled game called "taste my treats" where the men had "sacks" and the ladies "boxes" and each prepared a specific meal for the bachelor or bachelorette.   Even though the bachelor and bachelorette were glindfolded, the contest was rigged so that Tim would win.  Although it was never said that Cammy was supposed to win, Derek apparently really made a mistake and called Cammy by name revealing the food she had prepared and wonder of wonder's Austin picked her food.  Both won dates with the Bachelor and Bachelorette. 
 

Tim and Piper head off on their 4 or 5 hour date (Of course Cammy and Austin didn't go on a date - remember this is a FAKE reality show).  Piper relays to the camera that she was very nervous about the date because she started to see the "real" Tim - and she knows that in less than a week (in their time) he will find out she is fake.  At dinner things loosen up even more and it seems that TIm is falling for Piper a bit - to the camera she proclaims that Piper is "rubber duckulous."

In the limo on the way home the camera fails for a second and Tim apparenlty makes a bit of a move and Piper uses her father as an excuse not to do anything - (I mean even kiss) - she tells the camera she has to figgure out how to push him away - but not make him mad.  It appears she succeeded.

After a commercial break we watch Tim as he gets Cammy's locket from her (that she never wears) and pretends it is Elenor's.  Elenor is very happy and explains TIm came up with the idea all on his own.

Gerald organizes a birthday party for Tim.  They have face-painting and decide to spank Tim.  It appears the producers may want Gerald to develope a crush on TIm.  Tim gets 29 smacks on the rear from the others and then they do the face-painting.  The point of this seems to be for Bryce - who draws the name "Piper" on his forhead with the dot over the i being a heart.  He also climbs into a hammock with her but Gerold gets them to get out so they can play truth or dare.

For truth or dare Piper is dared to sing a song and sings "Danny Boy" - TIm tells the camera she is awsomne and we again hear romantic music.  Tim takes a dare and has to give Gerald a lap dance which he has no problem doing.

After the party Cammy pulls Ingrid into a bathroom.  The camera's follow.  Ingrid relates to the camera that she is surpised Cammy approached her because she has not been very close to her up until now.  Cammy reveals she was in a soft porn film titled "Porked and Beans"  - Ingrid doesn't seem to be buying it.  Then the cameraman has to stop to change batteries and Cammy waits - this makes Ingrid even more doubtful and the producers comment that this was a mistake by Cammy since a real person would not be concerned about the cameras.

Next is the segment where things seem to be falling apart.......

Ingrid reveals that when 

Ingrid is soooo onto the show it seems and a great deal of this segment  is spent showing how she is doubting everything - questioning every single thing.  We see the producers debating on if they should keep her on and try to convince her or just eliminate her now to keep Tim in the dark.

During the course of this part  every time clips of Ingrid speaking to the camera are shown there is a caption under her name.  They changed each time as she discussed her doubts - here was the progression:

Thinks it's all real	Thinks it's all real ?	Kind of thinks it's all real
Thinks 75% of it's real	Thinks some of it's real	Thinks less and less of it's real
Thinks 50% of it's real	Thinks less than half of its real	Thinks some small portion of it's real
Thinks 25% of it's real	Thinks very little of it's real	We're screwed

We are left wondering what will happen as the producers decide Ingrid's fate.

The second "Pearl Necklace" ceremony begins with each lady presenting her case to Austin.  The men are not present and neither is Piper.

Ingrid is first and discusses having her heart in her hand and presenting it to Austin.

Elenor simply says she hopes to get another "Pearl Necklace" this evening.

Ambrosia recites the lyrics to "We are the world" (I KNEW that was wrong but the song escaped me) "Greatest Love of All" with the lyrics beginning, "I believe that children are our future....," and says she and Austin can make the world a better place when they are together.

Finally Cammy tells Austin she appreciates Austin for liking her box the best (in the earlier competition) - and makes several comments about her box and Austin (and if you don't get the 'joke' here then you are much purer of mind than most of us watching this show - congrats!!!).

So here it is - the awarding of the pearl necklaces......

Elenor is safe......

Ambrosia is safe......

and thats where the show ends!!!!  ARGHHHHH!!!!!!

We get all kinds of teasers  - including a hint that Matt Gould may drop in for dinner and glimpses of a couple (psst - I think it might be Austin and/or Piper's "Parents").

So my guess?  Ingrid is out next week on the 90-minute show.  The majority of the people associated with the show's production seemed to want her out.  Then again Cammy has screwed up a couple times so maybe they will get rid of her and try to keep Ingrid around.
