"I think what Blake loves about Cristal is, she's good at making him feel like she's not after his money. She's constantly reminding everyone she's not comfortable with having money (while actually having no problem spending a lot of money)." Except that, between the robbery and the 300k Anders got her, she's been after Blake's money quite regularly. Maybe that she's now spilled at least some of her beans to Blake, she won't need to drain his wallet. Oh....and Gilles is an absolute babe...not sure if I like her more in Sex/drugs/rock/roll or this.... but DANG!

At least this ep wasn't super heavy on the ra.cis.t angle..... I did find it very strange that the question of what to do with Dre's newly released brother had very little to say about him being INNOCENT. Dre did mention it in passing, but the question of having an "ex felon" living in the house and how much support to provide him should have been delivered on the platform that he was wrongfully accused and convicted! This is an innocent man that lost years of his life incarcerated.....there should have been a huge outpouring of sympathy and support for him instead of what we saw

Question: (sorry if this has been asked before) In the initial TC vote, Lauren "played" her advantage by not voting, putting the advantage scroll in the urn and saving the blank sheet in her bra for a future TC. How did she know NOT to vote in the re-vote? Clearly the producers couldn't stop the taping and advise her..... Do we think the directions on the advantage scroll were that detailed as to direct her specifically, on a revote, to fold up her (2nd) blank sheet and push it over the edge of the voting table? If that's the case, then the producers really have to trust that she'll follow these directions to the "T". I understand they can shift the order of how the votes are read so if she put a blank sheet in the urn, they could've taken it back out.. Just wonderin....

Gillies is finer than a new set of snow tires! OMG.....SCHWING!

It speaks to the poor soap opera-ish writing when you just KNEW that someone was going to walk in while Blake and Claudia were holding each other in the bathroom scene....it was just a matter of WHO was going to discover them. Think about how long Krystle was at the vet...and how long Claudia was in the bath (those candles and such didn't place themselves there).... So the timing of the universe aligns itself down to the few seconds that Blake/Claudia are holding each other to allow Krystle to walk in at JUST that moment. I can't roll my eyes hard enough..... Tell me how Fallon is the Business ANYTHING of the Year when she gets stupid drunk at the ONE event where she HAS to shine? She put her last remaining eggs in the basket with that party with Colby telling her she had one more chance to fix things with their company so this was a do-or-die party for her reputation....and instead of treating it as such like any true smart businesswoman would, she drinks and smirks and smirks and drinks instead of putting 110% into the few hours needed to achieve the goals of the event. And as long as I'm ranting about a made up tv show (!), the little girl boxing match was as ridiculous as the shoulder pads on the dress Kori was wearing to Fallon's party. They both caused us a double take due to the absurdity. Having said all that.... we enjoy the over-the-top nature of the "lifestyles of the rich and famous" (and I've had a thing for Gillies since she did Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll) and will keep watching.

Given the ending....so far...it looks like they're going to try and cover the Hodges Trilogy. Quite ambitious! I guess the whole boy band angle and jeromes sister were too much to fit in? My biggest dissapointment? Not getting to see what the Happy Slapper looked like!

Ok...so they're going to try and cover the Hodges Trilogy? Ambitious for sure!
