"Girls Just Need to Relax  --  or --  World Leaders and Strap-ons" This episode of I Can't Believe I'm Still Single, Episode 3, Season 3, opens with clip from film My Life's in Turnaround . ( Click here to read last week's episode recap of Episode 2, Season 3 ) Super ugly, bloated, dopey close up of Eric drooling over a "yuppie" blond lawyer.   Teeth crooked and dingy grey.  (I have a flashback to my high school days when I was in school with him after seeing this clip.   My God, he's invested in a lot of plastic surgery since then.)

The show also includes some humiliating, and really boring, audition session footage
