Flo's Final Word

The final morning finds the guests packing and reminiscing about their time at the Surreal Life Motel. Tawny spends most of the day sleeping and ignoring the rest of her cast mates.

Once reclusive and closed-off from the rest of the cast, Tawny is now skinny-dipping, and sensually kissing the other women on the lips. Better order some room service, it's going to be a very bumpy final night at the Surreal Life Motel.

Check-out Is At Noon, Parts 1 and 2

The Surreal Life is a reality television series that sets a select group of past-their-prime celebrities and records them as they live together in Glen Campbell's former mansion in the Hollywood Hills for two weeks. The format of the show resembles that of The Real World and Road Rules, in that the cameras not only record the castmates' participation in group activities assigned to them, but also their interpersonal relationships and conflicts. The series is also likened to The Challenge in that previously known individuals from separate origins of entertainment are brought together into one cast. The show's first two seasons aired on The WB, and subsequent seasons have been shown on VH1.
