Let’s head (mostly) west this episode as we begin Season 2! We discuss Episode 1: Boot Scootin’ Boogie, where we get advice and predictions from the Season 1 roommates about the new set of roommates we’ll grow to know. (This inspires the hosts to make a Rebecca’s Predictions Tracker, as she makes at least half a dozen season predictions in this episode alone.) We only meet half of the roommates who will be occupying a home in Los Angeles for 6 months and only get halfway across the country with them, so we’ll have to wait until later to really, fully dive into this season. We learn to differentiate between hillbillies and rednecks, revisit the days of smoking vs. nonsmoking sections, and criticize the terrible IMBD synopsis for this episode. There’s a lot of early ‘90s catchy tunes mentioned this week, so if you end up singing the titular song, “Achy Breaky Heart” or “Motownphilly” every day until our next episode, don’t say we didn’t warn you!
