Yes. [spoiler]Joy was arrested for the third time and was looking at a lengthy prison sentence unless they came up with a substantial amount of cash. Burt Reynolds’ character, the owner of among other things a strip club, agreed to pay her fine if they would get his best dancer, who recently quit, to come back. It was Catalina, who hates Joy. When she’d danced, she’d jump, thus jiggling her assets. But, as she stated, she “would not jump for Joy.”[/spoiler]That’s the jist. Someone else can better provide all the details. ---

It was probably the best episode ever on TV anywhere at anytime because it had both Catalina and Joy in skimpy little clothes. (And heels, but I’m not into that.) Plus Catalina was half-naked and jum… Sorry, I lost it there. So, Catalina was half-naked and jump… Where was I? Oh yeah, Catalina dancing, hanlf-nak… Well, anyway, you should have seen it. ---

Catalina (I’m sorry I don’t the actress’ name) is obviously smoking hot, and, IMO, sexier than Jaime Pressly, definitely curvier. And she has shown some real _moves_ in past episodes. Burt Reynold’s character repeatedly says she was his best dancer. But the amusing truth is that the key to her sucess is that, while she does some of the standard stripper-struttung, she basically gets up on stage and jumps in place. Which **is** a sight to behold, 😃 but wouldn’t make her the best dancer in most clubs. And Joy’s outfit is suitably stripper-y looking, but she never actually gets to do any dancing, since she had to drink herself into a state where she could get on stage. IMO, Catalina hands down, with no regrets. 😉 ---

When Randy was helping Catalina stretch before her routine and was positioned in a rather delicate (booty call) angle… “Let’s not talk about my mother right now.” Bwhaahaahaa! ---

One thing I really enjoyed about this episode was the nature of Catalina’s act : she just jumped, and did not do much that was overtly/stereotypically sexy! Of course, with her stunning good looks, she really did not need to, did she? But I did think it made her character almost sweet and innocent, especially considering the location – a strip club! She and Randy make a good couple! ---

Catalina on the pole. That’s all that needs to be said. ---
