Remains of the J? I know the GG people are picking movie and TV names to spoof with each episode but something else would have been more fitting. Maybe Rocky Horror Romance Show – because they ruined all my character ‘Ships in one fell swoop. Boo!
By hacking into Nate’s email Chuck gets Vanessa to swing by and see Blair and Nate hanging out first thing in the a.m. He tells her they’ve been doing it all week. What Nate hasn’t been doing is calling V all week. When he finally does, he breaks it off with her and claims that it has nothing to do with anyone else. V doesn’t believe him and goes to chuck to devise a revenge plan. Yeah... that’ll turn out well.

Tyra ditches a wisdom-toothless Landry to make goo goo eyes at a rodeo cowboy named Ty. I’m totally okay with this because the Landry Tyra thing grew old – fast. Problem is in typical Tyra-fashion her choice of a mate already has red flags all over him. He eats drugs he calls “Cowboy Candy” for one. Then Tyra lies to Landry about why she didn’t go play Florence Nightingale. When she gets caught and Landry confronts her its dramatic and kinda awesome in its angst.

Tim Riggins got a letter of interest from a college. For real. This astounding revelation comes when Billy storms into Tim’s room without knocking holding the letter. The only thing more amazing than Tim getting in to college is Billy not knocking. Your brother is Tim Riggins – he probably hasn’t been in a bedroom alone since grade 6 and you don’t knock? Lyla was there and completely forgot about the belt buckle on Tim’s pants (which she was trying to undo) and wrote a letter back to the college on Tim’s behalf.

Bart Bass bit the big one. Yeah, we pretty much saw that coming last week.

Chuck isn’t dealing with it well at all. That too, isn’t a surprise. The fact that Dan has been Serena’s “rock” since the accident is a surprise – especially because she is still dating Aaron. Shouldn’t he be her rock?!

Enter new kid – cause we don’t have enough characters one the show. Her name is Kim and she’s from Las Vegas and likes tacos. Oh and she’s a bitch to Annie. She also seems to be a little catty with the teacher, Mr. Matthews, and it earns her detention. I don’t get what her story is and they don’t really explain it.

Top 10 Things I learned from Entourage this week:

1) Vinnie finally decided to work for his living.
2) Ari considers Indie films on par the Holocaust and Medellin on par with Chernobyl.
3) Ari’s real name should be Drama. (see above)
4) Drama’s real name should be crazy. (see below)
5) When Frenchie doesn’t answer the phone, Drama is a complete jealous lunatic. The end result – we don’t have to endure those ridiculous chirping sounds anymore.

Debbie Wilson is missing her fam. Seems that Dixon, Annie and Mr. Wilson are always busy so she demands “family night”. That means that Dixon can’t go to Navid’s to watch the unreleased Bond flick and Annie can’t go on a date with Ty. And of course teens in Bev Hills can’t do fam time on a Friday night so Dixon invites Silver and Annie invites Ty. Ethan shows up at the bowling alley too and totally bonds with Annie. She even has a moment where she gets that look on her face like “Ty who?” well that is until Ty shows up. Then Ty's shoots Ethan an over-the-shoulder “I know the game you’re playing” look. Meow!
