I watched it twice because it was so enjoyable. For those who missed it, here's a quick re-cap.
The show began with Michael in the kitchen, saying how excited he was about this week's show. (Al was going to be there FOR A SECOND TIME!! (when was the first??))On the limo ride over, Al said he was to "expect the unexpected". He said he was expecting "flying monkeys". "But if I expect them, they're no longer unexpected..." (funny, funny, funny) Anywho, soon after guests started arriving: Nikki, the crazy magician guy, and lastly Al who "broke in"! Michael joked Al was the first to break into his house and Al said "I'm glad to be your first" When Al came in he looked really happy and excited, he told Michael he was looking "dapper!" (One of my favorite parts of the show-:lol:) Al's interview was first and it was kinda short...he had this beautiful floral shirt on....The sound check was great...lol...He asked Al what he'd been doing in the last couple of years since Behind the Music and WHAT HE WISH WOULD'VE BEEN ADDED to BTM, which would have been a great time to TALK ABOUT HIS NEW FAMILY! but Al only mentioned the release of PH. He also joked with Michael about having no water on the cups on his desk. He mentioned Behind the Music as being aired "literally 100 times". The interview had a couple more questions, but nothing memorable. Al was funny discussing BTM...(describing himself) "well, he didn't spiral downward into depression..basically, he's a boring guy" in this great monotone. Mom on the sound board added lots of laugh track. It was great! Since Al had been on the show twice, he said the next time would be at Al's house! That pretty much ended the interview, and Al stood up on the chair and walked across Michael's desk to get off. Too funny.
Nikki Ziering was next.
Hmm.
Not much to say about this part.
There was endless ogling.
Dopey faces.
Kissing, hugging, Michael attempting to be sexy.
Disgusting.

ANYwho, Al was watching backstage with the magician guy and seemed to be enjoying the show.
Oh, and the sexy faces? He was trying to be funny, I know, but he looked a lot sexier than Miss Ziering.

Moving on, the magician did this corny trick where he pulled the guy's card out of an orange. Pretty dumb. OF COURSE Nikki got to be the magician's assistant and go out on stage. Al had to sit by himself. With this random guy that nobody cared about. Which I thought was kinda mean. But when asked if he'd seen the trick before, Al said "not done by you!" It was his way of being honest and nice, even though it was a laaaame trick.
Next, Michael invited all to go to the Front Porch, a music place. Nikki declined. Thank God. I think I've seen enough of Michael staring at her and groping her to last me a lifetime. Ew. So she left and Michael attacked her with kisses, which was kinda funny.
Luckily for us, AL DIDN'T DECLINE!! He agreed to go hang out, as he had "nothing to do". On the way out, Essany said "Let's Polka" and they started going back and forth with this crazy "izzle" polka stuff, reminiscent of rappers. It ended with Al saying, "Pizzolka for shizzle!"
Hilarious.
They headed out in the limo. Michael pointed out 84 Lumber where they got their wood. Al said "THAT'S where you get it from!!!" They were all laughing. Al also said in the limo (along with the camera moves) "Whip pan to Driver, slow pan back to Al." (more laughter from Al and Michael, as well as the driver)
After they arrived, they opened an accordion for Al to play on ("It's beautiful!"-Al) And he instantly began playing a polka, unfortunatly not one of his own.

Michael's best line? "I can smell the weirdness!"
Al's best line? "Let's pizzolka for shizzle!"
Nikki's best line?
"Goodbye!"
<rimshot>
Well there's Essany in a nutshell. It was great, hope this helped a little for those who didn't see it!
ttyl all!
