In Heat now it says that the whole handcuff thing was a stunt, which we heard already, and Vanessa knew she was being filmed for the show when she left the club but it says the handcuffs were an unpleasent surprise to her.
So she knew about the show but wasn't aware she would be handcuffed, so she really was genuinely scared until she saw it was for the show. Ok its starting to make sense to me now! Anyways i think Vanessas having her b day celebration today now that everyone is back, like shell and dan are back from their hometowns, mich and stu are back from spain, cos i met Nadia Monday and she said summin bout seeing Vanessa Wednesday, now is just me or is it strange for them to just be hanging out as friends so im guessing it might be her lil b day celebration, hmmm
