Ok, so I thought I'd try something different this week for my re-cap of the season finale. I thought I'd write it as if I was a office gossip, something like Amanda and Marc. So my review will be as if your talking to the office gossip that can't wait to tell people what's going on. Hope you like it.

OMG! did you hear the latest? So you didn't hear it from me....but this is what I heard from somebody who knows somebody. So "Mode" is having this big softball game against "Elle"magazine for some charity. I guess Daniel tried to get some advertising from some company but was failing miserably,so Wilhelmina stepped in and said they would donate a percentage to the children's charity(that the advertiser sponsors) if they do business with Mode. Well let me tell ya...Daniel was pretty mad Willie took over his presentation.

    So anyway's, Betty was told she had to play in the game, can you imagine....Betty playing softball...my gosh , how desperate can they be? So like I was saying, Betty has to play cuz Amanda wouldn't let her be a cheerleader, thank God! Probably couldn't find a cheerleading outfit to fit her (lol). Now, I heard Gio took her out to show her how to bat, and ended up asking her to go to Rome with him for their first date. My gosh, what does he see in her anyway's? He is such a player, so what does he want her for? Now...someone said (can't say who) that when she went home to tell her family about Rome (they weren't too trilled with the news) that Betty had a visit from the nerdy accountant, Henry! I guess Henry proposed to her and said he had a job lined up for her as a writer at a magazine if she wanted it. He said to think about it and let him know. Wow! can you imagine! Betty Suarez has 2 guys fighting for her, what's up with that? While us pretty girls just have to wait. Just not fair!

    So listen...rumor says Willie took over as Editor in Chief and Daniel is on leave. Dan is pretty mad at his sister, Alexis, over this and I hear, so is his mom (Claire). So Daniel and his son, yeah son, (I knew all that fooling around he does would finally catch up with him)leave the game. Well anyway we'll know for sure when the paternity test comes back.

    Well back to "triple chins" (Betty) ....so she doesn't know what to do about Gio and Henry, I mean really...she has 2 proposals of sorts, when will that ever happen again? Her family doesn't really want her to go with either of them, especially the father. He just doesn't want to let her go. But daddy tells her that she sometimes just needs to take a deep breath and jump. Hilda on the other hand takes this advice and decides to go the next step with coach Diaz. Hilda finds out that Diaz is married (troubled marriage) but falling for Hilda...more on that later.
    Can you believe Betty even asked Daniel for advice on her situation. Good Lord, he is the last person to ask about relationships, am I right? Of course he said he wanted her to go to Rome, only because he wanted her to come back to work for him.

    So as you guessed, Betty is not at work today. She got knocked out at the game when Henry and Gio ran into her trying to catch a fly ball, and had a hallucination that she married Henry and was also in Rome w/Gio, both at the same time. So now she has her bags packed and is on the plane with one of them. I heard it is............

    Well we have to wait till September to find out. Who did Betty pick? Will Daniel be back? Wilhelmina is "Wilhel-meaner" than ever!! Great episode! Can't wait for season 3!

    Hope you liked how I wrote the review... let me know, even if you didn't like it. Give me your 2cents in the comments.

    Thanks for listening .... See ya in the fall!

  2. I can't believe this season is finally over. Can't wait to see who Betty picks. Maybe neither one. Like the way the write up was different from the others.

  3. The Daniel with a son story line isn't doing much for me. I hope the writers find a way to be more creative about it. Every soap opera/dramedy has done an illigetimate child storyline - it's so cliche.

    So, if Daniel is really out as editor-in-chief what happens to Betty's job?

    Something else that just occurred to me: Filming is moving to New York - so Betty definitely wouldn't be going to Tucson permanently! I still think she's going to Rome - which makes me mad, because she was supposed to be sooo in love with Henry, then a couple weeks later she's off to Rome with another guy - come on!

  4. agree cary, I don't like how they rushed this whole storyline with Betty/Henry at all! Especially don't like the way they make Henry look like an idot and dissing Betty these past episodes. He was such a great gut that we all loved and now they have the viewers having her pick Gio (gagging). The Daniel storyline doesn't intrigue me at all!
