Alright, let’s see if this episode is any better than the first one.

The premise of this episode is that Randy has managed to convince the cheerleaders of a professional basketball team to book rooms at the hotel for a weekend, while they’re on the road. Kat’s excited because she loves the team and this is good money for them. The problem is that when the team shows up, Kat finds out from their coach, Kevin (Jerry McNamara) that Randy embellished the hotel’s credentials. Kevin thinks the hotel has a “first-class health facility” and serves health food. The truth is that they have a small gym with some cheap equipment and their cook (a woman named Minnie, played by Sandra Avelli) is an inexperienced former bartender who has no idea how to cook health food).

So Kat comes up with a plan, which is to convince Kevin to spend the days in the city with her while she tells that Randy, whom she claims is a fitness instructor, supposedly overseas the cheerleaders’ workouts at the gym.

The plan works, with Randy putting the women through several pointless exercises which are just an excuse to see them jumping around in bikinis, while Kat and Kevin are out. By the time they’re checking out, Kat and Kevin have had sex, with plans to stay in touch and get together again the next time he’s in town, while Randy has not only had sex with Donna, one of the cheerleaders (played by Vicki Vogel), he’s also managed to convince her to come back to the hotel to work part-time as the bartender. So I guess she’s joining the cast.

C.C. Costigan, who had a brief role in episode one as the woman who brought Kat and Randy to the hotel and had them sign paperwork for it, played a completely different character here, another one of the cheerleaders, named Marina, and Randy has also convinced her to work at the hotel as their new bartender.

So this is another ridiculous story, with weak acting. The only saving grace is the three sex scenes (Randy also has one with a nameless woman, who is supposed to be the girlfriend of one of their customers, at the beginning of the episode). But two episodes in and I already remember why I don’t remember much about this show.

Chacebook rating: THREE STARS
