"Surreal Cowboys"
gattonero9757 February 2013
Warning: Spoilers
A very touching episode. We get to see the Surreal gang in a setting out of their norm and we also get to know them on a different level.

Poor Verne Troyer, he could not really participate because of his so small stature and size. He tried riding a horse(they got him a special small pony) but it was still too much exertion for him. He refused to put on the cowboy attire that was required to get and feel the Cowboy look. I don't blame him, he would have been more a joke and funny-looking and that would not be fair for him. I'm glad he just refused and said he would wear whatever he was wearing. And went at the end they were c amping out in the open and it was discovered that there was some bear tracks, he really got scared and was starting to freak out. But none-other than Marcus Schenkenberg came to his rescue saying he would protect Verne no matter what. Marcus also said that he never really realized how tough it can be for a physically challenged person and the things that said people must give up regardless of them wanting to do it or not.

We also get to see how much it affected Jane Wiedlin to see a baby calf branded and shocked that it was her Surreal co-hort, Adrianne Curry. The thing was that everybody was given a choice to eat beans & pork or brand a calf and have Lobster & Steak instead. Curry said she did not do Pork & Beans so...but Wiedlin made the analogy of what if that was your child type of thing and just showed how much of a animal lover she truly is.

We also learn that Chyna (aka Joanie Laurer) in a drunken state confesses that just a few weeks ago , she tried to commit suicide! Saying that she has no family, no friends, no nothing. And everyone was shocked to learn this because they all see her as this big, strong woman. One would never imagine the "demons" one carries per say.

All in all, a nice episode. And the baby calf was fine and there was no bear after all.
