I just wanted to say that I'm really annoyed by everyone always crapping on Jo. Really though, she is allowed to say "my Alex", they have been dating for over a year and in that year Mer was nearly present. Or have you seen her and Alex hang out much last season? No, because Mer had Callie and Cristina and her family and she said it herself, she didn't have time for Alex. And now all of a sudden that she has lost Cristina Alex is important to her again, and she doesn't know any boundaries! She is standing next to him while he is showering, she is waking him in the middle of the night, standing in his bedroom and throwing his girlfriend out - who btw was naked. Tell me any of you guys wouldn't be annoyed by that if you were Jo. Doesn't matter how close you are as friends, there needs to be some boundaries and Mer doesn't know any. And I am someone who has always loved the Mer/Alex friendship deeply, but Jo is not wrong here for complaining about the way Mer is acting. Mer is treating Jo like she is some one night stand that happens to be in the house at the same time as she is, being cold and dismissive to her. And the main problem here is that Alex doesn't say anything. He can be there for Mer but still tell her to be nicer to Jo, or at least show her some respect, but he doesn't. And you can't blame Jo for being upset about that, your boyfriend shouldn't let his friend treat you like that. I hope we get more Mer/Alex friendship scenes, but Alex needs to realize that he's not being a very good boyfriend at the moment and talk to Jo about this. The way she looked at him after kissing him luck for the presentation, it looks like she is worried that he doesn't want to tell her things anymore and that he's distancing himself from her. And for someone who has been abandoned by everyone in her life so far I can't blame her for having fears. Really, I'm so done with Grey's fans showing understanding towards every character but immediately calling Jo annoying if she is having some sort of issues. She's never been the bitchy or jealous kind of person before, but all of a sudden her boyfriend is being monopolized and she doesn't know how to handle it. She's not even complaining to Alex about it because she doesn't want to be that person. So please instead of hating on her all the time, cut her some slack. I'm sure you'd react similiarly.<br /><br />About the board seat situation: I agree with most people here and have been VERY annoyed that Alex gets screwed over constantly. He's my favorite character on this show and I'm sick of him always being the loser.
