The women emerge from the house into the back yard, to much appreciative hooting and hollering. Tonya dismissively comments that it's not like there was anything inappropriate going on, so she clearly cannot understand why anyone was even remotely surprised by her wandering into the back yard with nothing but peanut butter protecting CBS from the FCC. "We were completely covered," she says, nearing indignation. "What were they gonna see? The cheeks of our butt [sic]?" In case you're wondering, "completely covered," according to Tonya, appears to mean "able to appear at strip clubs without being arrested, even in Mississippi." Although I have to say, I think many municipalities would not allow peanut butter as a covering. Anyway, Jason comments uncomfortably that it was certainly fun and he was appreciative, but that the peanut butter was a little much. Or...not enough, really. "I would have liked to have seen them wearing a little more than the peanut butter, um...certainly." He offers a pretty funny delivery of that line, actually -- very shy and baffled. At any rate, the girls frolic in their peanut butter and flowers until Lisa's bikini starts melting, at which point they go inside.
In the Big Bed Room, Eric is hard at work, covering himself with veggies. "I need more lettuce," he says matter-of-factly. Jason's getup -- because it was designed with the fashion-conscious help of Amy and Marcellas -- is gorgeous, constructed from some of the straw and leis and stuff that I think were left over from the luau. It is plainly in a different class than the bikinis of the other men. Gerry is working a diaper idea constructed from paper towels. You can almost see the social cooties growing in colonies on the top of his head, like bacteria in a petri dish. Finally, the enigmatic Roddy emerges in a white robe, and when he opens it, he reveals that he has covered up his goodies with Marcellas's picture from the memory wall. Hee. The winners of the beauty pageant are Roddy (for obvious reasons) and Chiara (for no apparent reason).
