Thou Shalt Aspire To Be Charming

First Aired May 11, 2009

This season of Charm School opens with fourteen women from Rock of Love Bus and Real Chance of Love on a bus traveling to meet their headmistress, Ricki Lake. Each girl is given a Charm School alias to represent what it is they need to work on in Charm School. Ricki Lake introduces herself to the girls, stating that the fourteen girls will learn to make a difference in their lives by helping those in need. She tells the girls that they will kick off the semester by doing something good right off the bat, donating some of their own clothes to the charity Out of the Closet. The girls are then welcomed into the house and learn where the whereabouts of where their already assigned beds are. Farrah and Ashley are excited that they get to bunk with each other: They've been good friends ever since they were on Rock of Love Bus together. Other girls, however, are upset with their bunking partners, such as So Hood and Bubbles. Bubbles insists on talking to So Hood about being at Charm School, but So Hood refuses to talk to Bubbles and yells at her to stop talking to her. Hearing the screaming of So Hood, Bay Bay Bay instigates and gets in Bubble's face, and KiKi soon joins in. After the girls become situated, they are allowed to drink alcohol outside, and explore the rest of Charm School. They find their uniforms in their assigned lockers, and decide on what clothes they are going to donate to charity. Farrah jokes that she will donate a hairpiece, while Bay Bay Bay and Ki Ki also state they are going to donate pajamas that say "Stallionares" on them, because they "Are not in love, with a Stallionare!". Meanwhile, Beverly becomes intoxicated, joking "I think I am a little bit intoxicated. I don't really know for sure...if I am intoxicated. But I think I am!" much to the amusement of the other girls. Brittaney makes a comment about her being drunk and it sets Beverly off. The drunken Beverly then confronts Brittaney about her incident on Rock of Love Bus when the other girls discovered food and their used socks, supposedly stolen, in Brittaney's bed. Brittaney retorts saying that Beverly is a sloppy drunk and a bad mother. Beverly then yells in Brittaney's face, and Brittaney, saying she will stick up for herself from now on, yells back. Beverly becomes infuriated and pushes Brittaney, but they are soon separated by Bay Bay Bay and So Hood.

The girls then change into their uniforms, and bring their donated items down to Ricki and the deans, La La and Stryker. Each girl is led down one at a time to donate their clothes, receive their Charm School pins, and learn the Ten Commandments of Charm School. Beverly goes first and donated clothes that she personally likes, she tells them she has an anger issue when she drinks, and admits she's been drinking already. Next is Gia, who after donating clothes, says that she needs to work on thinking before she acts, but La La says she isn't convinced Gia will change her partying ways. Ki Ki donates and says she's too outspoken and needs to work on her saying things without caring how it sounds. Bay Bay Baby donates and then says she needs to improve her quick temper and loud mouth. After donating, Risky says she tends to hold a lot in, and when it comes out it's explosive. So Hood donates clothes and one-hundred dollars, and needs to work on her "issues with men". Next, is Bubbles who donates her salsa dancing clothing, some pants, and pajamas, but doesn't really talk about her issues. Brittaney goes next and after donating, states she needs to change deep inside of herself, and many girls begin to laugh at her. She says she doesn't know why girls hate her, but she needs to change that because she wants everyone to love her. K.O. impresses the judges by donating all the clothes she brought to Charm School, stating that because she came from no family except her brother, clothes are not important to her because she feels material things get to peoples' heads. Ricki asks her if Charm School will make her happier, and K.O. says she thinks so because she doesn't respect herself and says she doesn't have dignity, class, or manners and says everyday is a challenge for her. Next, Marcia donates and says that she needs to work on her drinking problems. Farrah donates stripper heels and other clothes, and states she wants to stop stripping and wants to not be as slutty. Brittanya goes and says she has a really bad anger problem, stating that it is ruining her life. She states she is out on bail right now, and that she is in trouble with the law for fighting charges. Next is Ashley, who donates her "slutty clothes" because she doesn't want to be so slutty. Ashley says she hopes Charm School will teach her how to not be mean to other girls and not to party everyday. Last is Natasha, who donates a little amount of clothes, stating she needs to work on being too selfish, and also says she has issues with Brittaney after Brittaney made a "black comment" about Natasha while on Rock of Love Bus. Brittaney tries to defend herself, saying Natasha is lying, but Natasha becomes enraged and yells at Brittaney, spewing profanity and yelling at her to shut up because it's her turn to talk, and Brittaney flips her off. Now that every girl has donated, Ricki tells them that there will be something she is introducing something new this season called the "Dean's List". She says that if you are on the Dean's List you are safe from expulsion, but if not, you will be sent to "Detention Hall" and possibly be at risk for expulsion.

The women are then led to the mixer, where girls tell Ricki and the deans their issues they need to work on in further detail. Gia says she intended not to drink while she was here, but she begins to drink excessively anyway. Beverly continues to drink excessively also, and then tries to start a fight with Brittaney. Beverly begins to throw ice at her from a distance, and tries to get Brittaney to come over to her. Brittaney refuses to approach Beverly, and Beverly eventually walks over to Brittaney yelling "Look at me! Are you scared to look at me? Look at me!" Brittaney edges her on, but remains calm, then Beverly says she will "Snatch her up by her nappy blonde drag-queen hair." Brittaney tells her to go ahead, and Beverly becomes infuriated and grabs her hair in the back of her head and throws her off her seat. Brittaney begins to cry hysterically, stating her hair is her favorite thing about her. Ashley says that Beverly just did what they all wished they could do to Brittaney, and then she and Farrah laugh as Brittaney freaks out. Brittaney then goes to tell Ricki what happened in her office. Ricki brings in Beverly and after reviewing both accounts of the story, tells Beverly that she is expelled because physical violence will not be tolerated at Charm School. Ricki tells Beverly that she hopes that she gets something out of this experience, but Charm School cannot help her with her anger and alcohol problems. Beverly states in her interview that she just hopes that her kids won't have to regret her time at Charm School, but the one good thing about being expelled early is that she won't have to see Brittaney anymore. The members of "The Blondtourage", Ashley, Farrah, and Gia, became very drunk and do their Blondtourage handshake, in which they all bump their boobs and butts against one another. The girls are brought into Ricki's office and she talks to them about the issues they want to improve. Afterwards, Ricki, La La, and Stryker deliberate which girls will be on the Dean's List. Meanwhile, Gia becomes so intoxicated that she's passing out, and Ashley and Farrah have to help her get ready for Lecture Hall. Ricki announces over an intercom to meet her in Lecture Hall immediately.

Once in Lecture Hall, Ricki reveals that the girls that stood out in a positive way will be on the Dean's List. She says that the six women on the Dean's List, in no particular order, are K.O., Bay Bay Bay, Risky, Bubbles, Natasha, and Farrah. The remaining seven girls were sent to Detention Hall with Stryker. Once in detention, he says that they must each write down a name of the person that did the worst on their chalkboard. Ashley tries to convince the girls not to write down Gia's name, and to write down "Brittaney" instead. She says this is because she never wants to wake up and see Brittaney's ugly face again and because she was trying to protect Gia from expulsion. Brittaney, So Hood, and Ki Ki write down "Gia" anyway. Ashley, Marcia, and Brittanya write down "Brittaney". Gia is the deciding vote, but she says "Ashley" instead of "Brittaney" because she was too drunk to realize the significance of her decision. Stryker says the three ladies up for expulsion will be Gia, Brittaney, and Ashley. Ashley is a little upset with Gia, but blows it off saying she knows she won't go home anyway. Ashley says she wants Brittaney's "fat ass out of here, she's disgusting. I want her out". At the elimination ceremony, Ashley, Brittaney, and Gia, are brought down to the carpet. Ricki is surprised to see Ashley on the carpet, and is shocked when Ashley says Gia was the one that voted for her. Ricki asks her why she voted for Ashley, but Gia simply says "It is what it is, I drank so much tonight." Ricki warns Brittaney that trouble does seem to follow her. She tells Gia that she has a good heart and that she could tell Gia wanted to be here, but that she slid back into her "party girl ways". Ricki tells Ashley that she can tell she's sincere about wanting to get of the stripping world and making something of her life, but warns her that her slutty side does still appear at the wrong times. Ricki then expels Gia for being a "black-out drunk", but wishes her the best and that she can take something away from this experience. Ricki says that Charm School cannot help her with her drinking problems. Gia drunkenly cries and screams outside, and throws a tantrum. Ricki congratulates the remaining twelve girls on making it through the first night and then dismisses the class.
