The Virgins are back!

Okay, so TLC's Virgin Diaries is back! Are you as excited as I am? The last time it was on, I was horrified and entertained all at the same time. And I kind of felt dirty afterwards. And then, as quick as it arrived, it was gone. TLC only aired one-episode even though it received a lot of press about that one episode (including a hilarious blog post by moi); mainly because of "The Kiss." Ugh. Ick. Hopefully though, this time around it's not a one-time deal. Such a tease TLC. Don't play me like that this time.

This week's episode features three virgins, one guy and two girls. The girls, 29 and 32 years old, were both cute and pretty normal seeming. One was saving herself for marriage (understandable) and the other was just looking for the right guy to do it with for her first time (she succeeded). There wasn't much to say about the girls because they did seem pretty normal and just happened to be virgins at an older age which isn't a huge deal, but the guy, on the other hand, was odd to say the least.

So this is Skippy...

Skippy, the 33-years-old male Mormon who still lives in his parent's basement was our weirdo this episode. Virgin or no virgin, this guy was bizarre. There are two things that Skippy wants us to know off the bat about himself: 1) He collects T-shirts with his name and 2) He collects his own belly button lint. In a jar. Did you just throw up in your mouth for a second reading that? Because when I watched it, I definitely did. GROSS!! (This isn't even a joke. I couldn't make that up if I tried.)

Side Note: There is also a scene with Skippy using a Shake Weight. I mean, c'mon, a virgin dude using a Shake Weight. The jokes write themselves. (And for fun, here is SNL's fake commercial for the Shake Weight DVD.)

Skippy also goes out to meet girls with his mother, or his "Wing Mom" as they call it (and as her T-shirts says too). Okay, not normal! Dude, no girl is going to go home with you AND your mom.  His wing mom tells the camera to "consider the personality of the man" when talking about her son. She must know her son is lacking in the looks department. Aw.

Basically, besides being unattractive which can be overlooked by the personality (yes, Wing Mom does have a point), Skippy is pretty strange and socially awkward. Here are some examples of his strange behaviors, which we can only assume attribute to him being a virgin...

1) He carries stickers with him to give to girls he's interested in.
2) He brings a blow dryer to the club with him so he can dry off in the bathroom (or in public) when he sweats.
3) He over-compliments girls he finds attractive way too much. It becomes borderline creepy.
4) His first date with one girl took place in his parent's basement. (How did she even agree to that?)
5) He begs for kisses and when he gets one, he cheers. 

There is way more that I could have listed here but it is pretty clear why Skippy is a virgin. But I do stand by my claim from my last post on this "issue" that anyone can get laid pretty easily if they really wanted to. Skippy, go for a prostitute and it might take away some of your awkwardness. And if you pay her enough, she may be into the lint thing. But...probably not. 

I think one of the best parts of this new episode was the constant mini-updates of the couple featured in the very first episode, Ryan and Shanna. Not much has changed between them it seems. He is still clearly a homosexual and she still seems to have no idea and seems madly in love with him. They also have apparently "learned how to kiss" but the video shown in this current episode proved otherwise. I hope TLC continues to do these updates with other people in future episodes. But for now, I just hope they air future episodes. Don't let me down.
