Who Wants To Marry My Dad?
Episode 3
Recap By Teri Sue
July 6, 2004
Well what do ya know? They chose Love over Money. Oh wait, I'm sorry. Wrong RTV show. Excuse me a moment here while I fast forward the tape. No it's not being a flower child of the late 60s which causes this. I know what you were thinking. OK, here we go. Who Wants To Marry My Dad.
The Dog stole the show tonight along with the ending Twist. I'll get to him in a minute. The twist is at the end of this recap. It's a big one.
Dad invites the ladies to a skeet shoot. If you've ever gone skeet shooting, it ain't easy. Trust me. And, it hurts. Dad demonstrates the art of shooting. Of course, he hits the disc. Wonder how many takes it took. We'll never know. Unless someone can dig up the outtakes that is.
Next it's the Ladies' turn to demonstrate their skills as Dad Marty instructs them. All except Marilyn that is. Marilyn has a hurt shoulder. Poor Marilyn. Yeah right. Because we just know there will be a surprise connected to the shoot. And, odds are it will be some type of elimination or "bad fact" revealed. Each lady takes their turn. Things go swimmingly. They're having fun. Then, the Dog is spotted lurking around the benches. The Dog (this would have been really cool if done in slow motion) comes loping with a disc in it's mouth. Good doggie. The message on the disc reveals the following: Each woman has to shoot again. This time if she misses, a "bad fact" is revealed. The dog loves this as we watch his tongue hanging out and if dogs grin, well this dog is laughing his behind off.
Of course, each woman misses. We have a mishmash of "bad facts" amongst the ladies.
Here's a random sampling of some of the facts revealed:
She stalked an ex boyfriend
She doesn't want to change her last name even when married
She eats bows of ketchup
She might want a second chance with her ex boyfriend
She sunbathes in the nude
Get the picture? Not such really "bad facts". I was disappointed with this part.
Dad takes the shot for Marilyn, the one with the bum shoulder. Dad hits and smashes the disc. Marilyn escapes a "bad fact" fiasco. Instead, the loud speaker goes off with the crackling of an incoming fax. Since Marilyn didn't get to shoot. No fair huh. Something will be revealed about her anyway. Guess what? That she contributes time and money to a very worthy charity. Marilyn gets a "good fact" revelation. I would yell foul if I was in the group. The faces of the other women were priceless. One even does the "gag me with a spoon" routine by sticking her finger down her mouth with her tongue hanging out.
Back to "the Okland House" and it's din din. At the end of dinner the doorbell rings. Ding Dong. The Wicked Witch is here, no it's THE DOG. Yippee. I love this dog. The dog has a disc (clay pigeon) in his mouth. The Daughters have to eliminate one of the women. Ah well, all good things must come to an end. For one of them it's sooner than later.
The daughters break the news and the women go to their room. Did I just say that? The women are sent to their room. Yes, and so is Dad; to the room with the women. Hmmmmm.
Let me move this along here. Daughters make their decision. Call the women and their dad back down to the living room. The daughters give a tearful speech of good-bye to Tammy. Tammy is the one who stood her ground about not changing her name for any marriage. Tammy is sent off with tears in everyone's eyes. I can understand why. Tammy is a free spirit. A class act. I was sorry to see her leave myself and I'm just watching this show.
