Heyhey Gasmites! Were you like me and missed Nashville last week? Here’s hoping this week makes up for last week’s Nashville’s bereftitude. Yes, I am aware that is not really a word.
SourCake has all that fancy schoolin’ and she still thinks she can just make up words…
Juliette in her amazing condo with that dumb football player. Great – he’s still around. Ugh, I am really getting sick of this storyline. Hey, today everyone hates you on Twitter. What has the world come to when a career can rise and fall on what some twat on Twitter thinks?
Avery’s band has signed with Cougar and are moving on up. The band is named the…Avery Barkley band…is that new? Because that is a terrible name. Avery’s new publicist (I think her real name is Marilyn but I’ll probs keep calling her Cougar. Or possibly Coug for short) has gotten them a pretty big gig. Everybody but Avery is thrilled. Avery looks like he wants to take a shower to rinse off the patina of whore that is dusting his porcelain skin. And he’s missing Scarlett.
Scarlett is slinging her beers and trying not to cry as Deacon sings some sad sappy song. Gunnar of course leaves Hailey to rush over. I like how Hailey plays it. She just stays in the background, doesn’t even look their way, sipping her drink and watching the show.
Hot damn, I love Coleman! He shows Teddy some of the photos of him and Peggy and tells him unless he drops out of the race, Coleman is taking those pictures to the press. He’s playing hardball and I love him for it. That fucker Lamar got him arrested last episode. I hope this is only the first salvo in an ever-escalating war. Lamar is one of the show’s most compelling characters but I really, really want to see him humbled.
Lamar, Tandy and Teddy have a strategy session and Lamar greasily tells Teddy the paper trail about the credit union embezzlement is gone (yeah, right, there is NO WAY millions of dollars can be funnelled around with only two execs knowing about it. It’s just impossible). That shit is going to blow up in Teddy’s face. If there are any embezzlers who’ve gotten away with stealing two or more million dollars with no paper trail whatsoever, I invite you to comment and tell me pretty much exactly how you did it.
Liam McGuiness is Rayna’s producer’s name and he’s got a drinking problem (as you can tell by the fact he carries a little flask and sips from it every time the camera is on him).
Marshall (the penile record exec guy who looks like he’s just done a cleanse) presents Rayna with an ultimatum – either perform at this hoedown with Juliette or he’s releasing a Rayna’s Greatest Hits record (something that basically signals to everyone Rayna’s best days are behind her).
YES! Hailey has surprisingly become one of my favourite characters. I’m kicking myself for not mentioning in any previous recaps how I wished Scarlett had a galpal to help her be less “cornpone Barbie.” And in struts Hailey with some new clothes and some good advice. I’m only disappointed that Gunnar looks so messed up by this new Scarlett. Come on, Gunnar, loosen up. It’s only going to last one night, let the poor girl have some innocent fun.
If you like it, spread it!:

This episode made up for the lack of one last week. I totally thought that Rayna was going to accept the vodka when she asked if Juliette had any orange juice – lol! I mostly think this episode was incredible because I didn’t have to watch any commercials when I watched it. With the last episode, I tried streaming it at work with a few of my DISH coworkers and it was impossible to get through because of all the commercials we couldn’t even fast forward or skip through. From here on, I’m watching Nashville as a part of my DISH Hopper’s Primetime Anytime recordings so that I can Auto Hop the commercials and save my self the agony of sitting through them each episode.
^lol, you work for Dish. Make that money, honey boo boo.
And about Twitter, careers have always been made or broken by what twats on Twitter think, because twats on twitter are fans. And an artist is nothing without fans. They are the ones buying the records (or downloading on itunes nowadays), going to tours, buying the fragrances and clothing lines and whatever else have you. Before twitter, I feel like artists would only reallyyyy find out that nobody liked them until it was too late to do anything about it. Like after they dropped a new album (and it failed horribly) or after they booked a worldwide tour (and nobody bought tickets).
But with Twitter, fans have the chance to speak directly and instantly to the artist. Or to the artist’s publicity team.
It’s a boon honestly…it makes it alot easier for artists to keep track of their public image because it is a good source for data, and it lets them do damage control mad fast because they can gauge reactions right away. Which is what we’re seeing now with Juliette.
Now, I still hate Twitter and I think it’s stupid as fuck, but stars do need to pay close attention to Twitter and act according to what they see there.
Maybe Rayna should get a twitter.
This was a great episode. This show is great because as my husband says all the characters are unlikable. They all have flaws and it makes them feel more real. I personally find Hailey way hotter than Scarlet but my husband disagrees. If I was Gunner I would stick with Hailey. She has less baggage and is hotter.
The Tebow character is annoying. It is interesting to see how even famous people have bosses and have to tow the line. I always figured famous people could do whatever they wanted to a point. Now I know plenty of famous people who don’t give a crap what fans say like Angelina Jolie and just keep trying to illegally adopt babies and steal husbands and get away with it. She didn’t care when everyone was telling her to cut the crap. People still kiss her ass.
