I'd like to say that I have some juicy stories about a weeklong bender in Vegas to regale you all, but frankly people, I'm broke. And I'm not Hunter S. Thompson, nor do I have access to his drug arsenal. I did, however, lose a wager recently when I bet our staff writer, Jake Coburn, that Roy Orbison was blind. Apparently, he just had poor eyesight and wore those sunglasses purely for vanity. Vanity! I was convinced he was the white Ray Charles. I lost 20 bucks, and that is exactly why I don't gamble — 'cause I lose my shirt every time and the money always goes to evil conglomerates or in this case, Jake Coburn (author of Prep, LoveSick, and the forthcoming Jake 360). Same difference, really. Luckily for you, there will be no betting on Roy Orbison in this week's episode, just an old-fashioned high-stakes poker game. With billionaires.
In this week's installment, "The Game," Tripp and Simon Elder go head to head in a no-holds-barred battle of wills. These billionaires aren't playing for just millions — oh no — when money is no object, the payout comes in a different form… real estate. In this game, values are both sentimental and deceiving — who will really come out on top? And who is playing whom? Do I sound like the movie trailer guy or what?
The State of New York is playing a little game of their own on Karen when they refuse her application for a marriage license. Apparently she's still married to her third husband, the überhunk and anthropologist Sebastian Fleet. To what lengths will Karen go to divorce her ex-husband?
Patrick's senatorial candidacy is in jeopardy when somebody tries to out his relationship with Carmelita. Exactly who is trying to play this card? And will Patrick call their bluff? Jeremy lives up to the promise he made to his father and takes a job in the Darling Empire. Will he succeed or will he crash and burn in his new profession?
All of this and more — and no, I'm not bluffing — in this week's salacious episode.
Now I have to go figure out how to win my money back from Coburn.
