Bitches be hating back at the concert venue. Both are snapping at each other as Liam eggs them on with delight and Deacon tries to de-escalate the situation. It’s not working.  Liam’s practically high-kicking with glee at the catfight.

Teddy is trying to de-escalate his own sitch by breaking off his professional relationship with Peggy. She sounds high-pitched and desperate and I get a twitchy feeling that maybe she really is crazy. Like, kill Coleman because he got between her and Teddy crazy.

Isn’t there something slightly deranged in her expression?

They really wouldn’t hire Williams-Paisley for just a few episodes, would they?  She’s like a “name” actress (at least for tv), right?

Gunnar can’t take his eyes off Scarlett and while I do applaud his desire to keep Scarlett from making a huge mistake (like sexing up some random), it’s misplaced when he wants to stop her from dancing with a guy in a bar. Scarlett is flush with booze and triumph and hits the stage to sing with the band to Ring of Fire. She sounds a little cutesy cornpone but her voice is pretty fabulous. Hailey is all encouragement but she has definitely noticed that Gunnar is not behaving like a good friend.

Yeah, jerk. Whatever happened to you wanted to get “complicated” with me?

I hope Hailey doesn’t wait around for Gunnar to dump her. I want her to see the writing on the wall and say “See ya later.” First. I’m so curious to see how this all plays out. Because I also really, really want Scarlett to have a galpal. She’s been wasting all her time and energy on Avery and I just don’t want her to simply transfer that onto Gunnar. She needs a good friend in her life to help her feel strong on her own, without some man. Plus, I also really like the character and want her to stick around.
So Gunnar gets all disapproving and poor wittle Scarwlett runs off saying she shouldn’t have had any fun because it makes her a terrible person. Ugh! I wish she would’ve just told Gunnar to f-ck off and stop harshing her buzz.

I guess I’ll just let Hailey say it for me.

 Back to the Bitches Be Hatin’ club…Rayna and Juliette are still going at it gangbuster-styles. The jabs get meaner and meaner until Juliette snarks that they’ve wasted more than enough time listening to Rayna reminisce about her glory days. This clearly hits a little too close to the mark for Rayna and being the daughter of Lamar, she lashes out in spectacularly cunty style.

I am doing this as a favour for the label I helped create. You’ve not earned that place, at all. And everybody here knows it.

    Oh thank goodness we are making some headway on the Rayna/Juliette relationship. I like the slow pace of their growing relationship because I could see Rayna taking Juliette under her wing by the season’s end. Juliette just needs a supportive and strong woman to look up too, she is SO insecure. I’m only vaguely interested in the other story lines at this point. I’m waiting for Rayna’s relationship with her husband to implode this week so that should be good.
    Also the Rayman is a real venue! I went to Vanderbilt for college in Nashville and its actually one of my favorite places to see a show. Its a small venue but really gorgeous and I like the setting. I’ve seen a lot of concerts there.

    Damn but Connie has some gorgeous flowing hair!!! The woman who plays her sister has almost the same color, but it is drab and lifeless. She must hate playing scenes with Connie!!

    I don’t know about music for soccer moms, but I do know that I don’t like, nor do I listen to today’s country music. Yet I love this show! Go figure.

    Am I the only one who can’t stand any scene with Scarlet in it? I just can’t deal with the way they are portraying her as a helpless little waif who can’t do anything for herself. Blech. And good lord, that voice! She has a nice singing voice, but the rest of the time she sounds like freaking Minnie Mouse. It’s totally that fake baby voice that girls use to try and attract guys, and I can’t stand. I know the actress who plays her is Australian, so I’m thinking it might just be her terrible attempt at the Southern accent, but I detest it!

    Loved the duet at the end though! I don’t even really like country music and most of the songs on this show sound terrible to me, but that was catchy! I could actually see that blowing up on the radio like a taylor swift song.

    No, jerseyj, you’re not the only one who can’t stand to see any Scarlett-related scenes. I had such high hopes for her at the beginning, but as the show progresses, I find myself wanting to bitch-slap her and scream, \Grow some brass ovaries, bitch!\

    Not to mention her Prairie Dawn-esque wardrobe does not do her justice at all.

    The duet was pretty damn good. I’d totes buy it on iTunes if I had the chance.
