“I make Orlando Bloom look like the Wicked Witch of the West.”

This gem of a soundbyte comes from our Keanu-esque surfer boy Jon Johnson a few minutes into episode 5 of “Manhunt”.

Shawn gets Tate to do some push-ups and frankly, I was worried that he might be too hungover from his two-day binge to manage it, but he did fine. Then Hunter took off his shirt so he could show off his gymnastic skills. Then Kevin P. sees the shirt off and raises Hunter one-set of pec contractions. Then everyone’s shirts come off because that’s the “Manhunt” way. The segment ends with Shawn offering this word of advice, straight from the Facts of Life theme song: “If this is what you really want to do, you have to take the good with the bad.” Her subtext seems to be, ‘You wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve had to do to get to where I am.’
