SHIIIIIIIT!

I am so far behind, but let's recap from last week, as I'm watching this week's DWTS. It's so hard to keep up. but let's try, shall we?


DWTS

Dance dance dance, bitch bitch bitch. It seems that they all do a fair amount of bitching while they are learning their choreography, but then they all come out and give a fantastic performance. And Jennifer Grey is struggling to get through it all! AHHHHH My girl! She has only a few more weeks to make it. Come on! I'm rooting for you!

Oh yeah, Kurt went home. He was kinda boring anyways. Though I've deemed his theme song, "pretty fly for a white guy." just saying...


GLEE
OMG! Did you see it did you see it??? The introduction of what is, hopefully, Kurt's new boyfriend. It was so cute! I have re-watched the episode about four or five times and re-watched that one scene about a hundred. Darren Criss is the newest guest star of Glee, and after a break out performance of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, he's sure to be a full time cast member. If you haven't watched it yet, then you need to see this episode.

I love that they are really diving into the story line of Kurt's bullying, however I have one complaint. I don't know if it's the best idea to make his bully gay. Yes, I understand that most people who bully select the people who make them feel bad about themselves for usually the same thing they are bullying for in the first place. But, I know that some of the people who bullied me in school weren't necessarily gay, but they were just mean. Who knows the real reason why people bully? I just don't want to see in the news a bunch of gay kids getting beaten up for kissing their bullier. Is that even a word?

Oh well, it was probably the best episode of Glee that's ever happened. Even the Madonna episode. Criss's version of Teenage Dream was even better than the original. And it was so touching to see Kurt have a friend/confidant to go through the struggles of high school.

Everyone else on the show was great, as usual, however, I"m too excited about the newcomer.


WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

AHHHHH where did my shows go??? Ugh, damn country music awards show ruining my evening of Modern Family!!! Ugh, I have to wait. However, I love me some Gwyneth Paltrow and can't wait for her movie!!!


DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

I'm starting to dig the season a little bit. Susan is working for Lynette and it's a struggle for them to find a balance between friendship and work. I like this. They are really starting to give Susan a little bit of depth to her whiney-ness and patheticness. And Lynette is just like the wise old sage of the street who always knows what to say and do, and Felicity Huffman gives her a tough edge but keeps her lovable and, honestly, is one of the few things keeping me coming back over and over again.

Bree dating the younger man, Brian Austin Green, is a little bit annoying to me now. It's very clear that they can't go anywhere in the relationship because they want two very different things, so it seems to be just drawn out. However, a little tiff between his parents, causes his mom, played by the always wonderful Nancy Travis, to ask for a divorce. Somewhat interesting. But did anyone catch that weird moment between the dad and Bree? Strange, who knows where that's going to go?

Gabby. Ok, seriously, I can actually say that I am a proud lover of Eva Longoria-Parker. Not only a pretty face, she's really hit a stride on this show. SHe's given her character so much meat and depth and interest. And it's not just the story line for her or the dialogue she gets. She just gives it to you with a look or a pout of her mouth or something. There is subtle beauty to the acting she is putting out on that show.

Pretty much loved this episode and found myself really upset with the Mexican couple possibly being deported, it actually made me really sad, obviously the point, and there's just something that keeps me holding on each week.


BROTHERS AND SISTERS
I'm not so sure I liked this episode, however Sonia Braga guest stared at Luc's mother and ended up making out with Justin, who libido is going CRAZY! It was actually kinda brilliant how it all unfolded.

It seemed to be the episode of not being able to say what you wanted. Sarah couldn't get Luc to tell her why he hates his mother. Norah couldn't tell the new hottie that she liked him more than a friend, and no one could get through to Justin about why you dont' hook up with every single person you work with, especially at work, when you're working for your brother-in-law.

I think the stand out performances in this episode are for Sonia Braga and Giles Marini. Seriously, they bother just have so much fire and passion behind what they do, they make me want to be foreign. HAHA. But I think the beauty of this show is they tie everyone in very subtly and solidly and there is always this lesson to learn about communication and they are constantly growing and learning with each other and it's really a family. It feels like a real family, a lot like my own and it just makes me really happy watching.
