How long were you at the job before this (crappy) one? 3.5 years at gig X and then 5 months at crappy gig Y isn't an issue -- new gig wasn't a fit, easy to play that off. "I tried to make it work but it felt like a bait and switch" would be an acceptable answer. But a track record of ~1 year or less at places says that you're the problem or you make a lot of bad choices.
