Monday Television Recap

by Heidi on May 6, 2008

Despite working till 11:15 last night, you can bet that I stayed up till almost 1am getting caught up on two of my favorite shows.

The Hills

Okay…when did Lo become sucha  whorebag?? I really want to know because I liked her. I thought her snark was fabulous – especially because most of the time it was in relation to Heidi. But really? The bitchy looks? The “iiiii’mmm huunnngrrry” 30 seconds after you get to the studio because you don’t really want to hang out with Audrina?

Miss…atttituuuuude.

Not necessary.

The HIlls? Is really starting to piss me off. And next week? Is ALREADY THE FINALE!!! *gasp* granted I’m going to be glad to see Spencer not sitting around (really…what does he DO?!)

Hi I’m a lazy fuck head with no job, no life yet think I’m the coolest thing since sliced bread since I’m dating a dumb broad who can’t sing and can’t dress and happened to score a spot on a reality television show…

However, Buzz Sugar told us today that they have signed on for a FOURTH season!!! As if we haven’t had enough already. What do ya’ll think is going to happen in the finale? I mean clearly Heidi takes Spencer back since we still see them ALL THE GOD DAMNED TIME

Gossip Girl

Ok, there are so many things I want to say about this show but really it culminates in overarching fact….this show. is fucking. awesome.

Spoilers below in case you haven’t seen yet…

Okay so I missed the first fifteen minutes but I sense the only thing that really came from it is:

1. Dan confides in “sarah” who is really Georgina – btw I can NOT wait for that shit to hit the fan given what I’ve read about next week/seen in the previews….

2. Dan sees Jenny’s boyfriend Asher kissin’ on lil Eric…Serena’s lil bro.

Then enter G who invites herself to dinner with the fam…and dropkicks Eric out of the closet. And I think, over the entire episode after that all comes out…the family does good with bonding together and embracing the idea of family and love and compassion. It was very touching to see especially when Lilly finally apologized to Eric for her initial reaction.

3. I think lil J kind of had it all coming to her. I mean she compromised her integrity, her fathers respect…i mean. Not gonna lie but she kind of had it coming to her  i mean the girl steels her friends mom’s valentino dress, lies about it. Lies to her dad about her boyfriend who’s only dating her to put on a straight vibe not because he would really date her…then she lies to her friends about having sex with him, then she gets caught and her whole world tumbles around. I’m very curious to see what’s next with her….

4. Finally…the final scene. Did S really kill a dude with G? Is the dude still alive? Why does Serena end up taking this HORRIBLE downward spiral in the next episode? What happens to her and Dan? What happens to Georgina? Omgomgomgomg…

SO MUCH SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!!!!

And i didn’t even talk about the fact that Lily and Rufus have been chatting again…I mean we should all know (about them…) that you never get over your first love…especially in this case because come on! Why else would she keep him around?! Jebus Rufus!! SMARTEN UP!!!

Can I reiterate your OMG! about Gossip Girl! It was the first episode I’ve ever watched alone, and can I say, I felt a little stupid yelling “HOLY CRAP!” to myself at that ending.

And I’m totally with you with the disappointment in Lo. She used to be this wonderful breath of fresh air whenever she dropped by. Now, she is just becoming another drama queen.

I am so with you on the Lo transformation– I suppose the annoying personality traits were bound to sink their claws into her at some point or another. Too bad, though, ’cause she was totally my ray of sunshine on The Hills!

The Hills is seriously driving me crazy these days, I can’t even take it. I totally agree with you about Lo, I used to love her, but she is such a bitch now. Granted I still don’t like Justin Bobby, but really, I heart Audrina.

And don’t even get me started on stupid Heidi and Spencer, they are ridiculous. Gah.

I’m honestly so glad that Lo is being mean to Audrina b/c Audrina is SO dense! And I hate how she took offense to Lauren when she just *asked* what was going on with Justin Bobby. It’s not as if she was like Justin cannot come to my house!

And it really annoys me how Speidi has been acting lately. With the tyra show! WTF?! If i was Lauren Conrad I’d sue them for defamation of character… oh wait… it’s probably all a planned publicity stunt.

GAH! Why do I even watch?

haha we’re totally on the same page w/ the Lo stuff, as you commented on my post!!

and i love gossip girl. LOVE. can’t wait for next week. i think serena’s manslaughter thing is going to be something along the lines of she was being attacked or about to be dateraped or something, because the video she watched seemed like maybe it was about a crazy night gone wrong.

i dunno, i guess we’ll have to wait & find out!

I know, right! I cannot believe Lo acted like that. Perhaps she just feels like she needs to mark territory around Audrina, but still…
Also, I can’t believe the season is already over. AH! August cannot come soon enough!

omg i know exactly what you mean about both…i hate that lo is getting to be such a bitch and passive-agressively push audrina away! rude. (didn’t know that next week is the season finale – ALready???) Can’t wait to see what happens to heidi and spencer in vegas tho! omg he’s such a douche…should really listen to steph when she tells him “THINK before you do something stupid” (like before he went to colorado!)

GOSSIP GIRl…omg!! haven’t seen the preview for next week’s yet cause i just watched it online from some random site…some crazy shizz!! can’t wait to see what happens next with that too…

I am so glad you post that link last week by the way! Since I am on my Comcast strike, I was relying on stupid CW to show me Gossip Girl, but oh no they had to pull the streaming video.
Thank you, thank you!!!

Yeah, what does Spencer do for a job? The only thing I like about Heidi is her hair, however I like Stephanie Pratt’s hair so much better.

I did see recently in a magazine that Kristin C was at one of Laurens fashion shows – that was pretty cool. Totally agree with you about Lo though – what is her damage and they are so mean to Audrina, I don’t like it.

I agree with you about Lo having an attitude. I don’t like her, and it would definitely suck to be Audrina right now. Lo and Lauren have become BFF and don’t even speak to Audrina much. They got a dog and everything without her.

I don’t watch Gossip Girl, but maybe I should. And I didn’t know that next week was ALREADY the Season Finale…Didn’t it just start back?

I just discovered Gossip Girl and spent last week catching myself up. I cannot get enough of this show! bah!

I finally caught up on both last night. And ohhhh my. I totally echo you on Lo. Where did this come from?? She used to sort of be this interesting addition, and last night I just wanted to smack her. LC should have totally brought her back to reality when they went to visit Audrina in the studio. I loved them both pondering why Audrina wasn’t coming to dinner with them. Um, hello because she’s working? Duhhhh.

And so much happening on Gossip Girl that my head was almost hurting. I’m glad Jenny will be back to nice version. This alter-ego was getting old. And I don’t want them to split up S and Dan. I looooove Dan. And the G creature can just jump off a cliff. She’s ob-nox-ious. But I love it all…

Ever since G popped into the scene Gossip Girl is effing fantastic. I kept saying I love this show probably every 5 minutes on Monday night….AND the Blair vs. Jenny – wowsa. Its just some great drama, loves it!

I’m so over the Hills and must agree WTF happened to Lo? Bitter, party of one or what? She used to be the guest star that I’d love to see, just to hear what she has to say buuuuut now, I just want her kinda gone or zippy the lip. I’m tuning into the finale just to see Heidi “mortified”.

The GG episode was INSANE. I gasped at the end–GASPED!

G is annoying. Seriously, she has to go soon. I love the S and D relationship and I hate that she’s breaking it apart. If they break up in the next episode…ohhh i’ll be so upset with her. I just wish S would have told Dan from the beginning “hey, this girl is in town, she’s bad news, i was friends with her, am not anymore. Deal with me dealing with her for a bit.” See? That was easy. He would have helped her. Been supportive. Sigh.

I loved the end moment between S and B. Although dramatic, B was such a good friend at that moment. On that note, I really like her now. She didn’t even out Eric at that party, which was awesome. Also, like you said, Jenny had it coming to her. Hopefully the embarrassment will snap her back into reality. Make her a normal girl again. Oh, and the family supporting Eric was totally cute.

Oh, and PS, I think G has something to do with this murder S brings up. Why else would she video tape it?

I have a feeling it was self defense. I guess we’ll see!

I agree about Lo- she was always super fun and I wished they’d have her on the show more often. Now that she is, I wish she’d go away! The comment she made about their dog having two mommies- and then the look on Audrina’s face! It was just not needed.

I’m wondering if the Serena thing will be drug related. Maybe someone OD’ed in front of her and she was too out of it to do anything to help? I do like this show, but parts of it really bugs me, because the books were so different!

Do we know when the season finale is for GG?

Gossip Girl is making me crazy!

Lo looks an awful lot like Jen Lancaster’s trainer, Barbie. She was at the signing last night.

17 Laurel May 7, 2008 at 11:07 am

As we have discussed, GG = so awesome.

How many more eps do we have this season?

OMG! Gossip Girl = insane.

1. totally obvious that s’s brother was going to be gay. horrible job on that count. great though having jenny date the gay guy for attention! jenny get better at life. you are so better than that. i just can’t imagine that this large prep school has no other cool, poorer children she could hang out with. please give her normal friends. thanks.

2. s killed someone…yikes. we all know that serena can be a little dramatic so maybe she just didn’t help SAVE them. that’s my idea.

3. can dan and serena please break up? they are seriously disgusting. and i did not know one high school couple who acted like that. however, i did go to private all-girls school so who knows what couples really look like?? i’m so pathetic.

and now i need to go watch the hills! i missed this week. but i’m disappointed because i love LO.

19 Jo May 7, 2008 at 12:38 pm

damnit! i have to go home and watch it ALL OVER again because CLEARLY i missed some stuff (Gossip Girl). I have YET to see The Hills…but that’s ok because I NEED to watch it or I’m not happy, so reading this just made the urge STRONGER!

Oh and Lil J…ugh. I don’t like her.

loooooooove gossip girl!

and i really want S and Dan to break up so Lily and Rufus can get back together already!

OK….I finally caught up on the newest eppies of GG. Hah, the CW thinks they can not show them online and no one else will!

1. I’m sorry, i do NOT like Vanessa. I’ve never liked her, and I think she’s uber annoying. Especially now that she’s with N. Not digging that AT ALL.

2. Poor Little J. She did have it coming to her, but it still sucks for her. I think B was a little disappointed that J gave up so fast. Maybe she’s a tad bit jealous that J realized that lifestyle isn’t worth it afterall.

3. S and G….where to begin. Reformed S no more. I’m very intrigued by this storyline. I wonder if she was lying to D about sleeping with someone else in the preview, just so she wouldn’t have to tell him the truth? Those scenes of her and the guy could have been flashbacks. G has certainly weaved quite the little web here. I wonder what she knows about D? She mentioned something about that at the end of the episode.

4. Chuck needs more to do and Nate needs more screen time without his shirt. Just my opinion…:)

5. Is it just me or does Bart look like a much older version of Milo Ventimiglia from Heros? It could just be me…

6. and finally, I just LOVE Kristen Bell’s voice! It’s so gossip-y, and oozes that know-it-all tone.
