Up next on The Shitty: Adam and Allie are psycho and want Jay to move out so they can live together and keep being psycho; Erin and Duncan sort of break-up; Whitney insults Olivia to her face and it is awesome; Olivia wants Nevan to move out; and Jay has a serious (kind of) question for Whitney. Also, it's New Year's Eve on The Shitty, and I resolve to continue hating Nevan.
What a day to get your face blown off.
Ugh, just watching the recaps of Olivia's wretchedness from last week is making me mad. Anyway, Whit tells Erin that Jay and Adam are at it because Allie is still living with them, which is sort of news to me, because I assumed that they were all living together according to a mutual agreement. Like on Three's Company, with Adam pretending to be gay to Mr. Roper, and then all of them heading down to the Regal Beagle to talk about their various shenanigans.
The Nevan of Three's Company.
But no, I guess Allie moved in with Adam because they're going out and she can't afford her own place or something. Ugh, why do we care? Allie is SO two episodes ago. Whit and Erin both agree that living alone is awesome and they can't imagine living with anyone. Wow, hope THAT comment doesn't bite anyone on the ass later on. Oh, hey, they're going to a party tonight. That's quite a change from what they do . . . every . . . single . . . night. There must be this huge pressure to like, do stuff, on a reality show. Most nights I'm on the couch in my pj's by 8:30, watching Will & Grace reruns with a half-empty bottle of chardonnay. Booorrr-ing!
Some dude named "Smooth," which everyone in America should feel free to make fun of, is hosting the party. Also, he has a permanent stripper pole in his apartment. As well as, I'm guessing, a permanent case of crabs. I have honestly never heard of someone more douche-y than this "Smooth" character, and I refuse to type his name without the quotes. Credits. Horrible Pussycat Dolls song.
"Unexpected Roommates" is the title of the episode. How unexpected, exaclty? Like Kelly Cutrone and Nevan? Because THAT would be unexpected. And hiLARious! Anything else, though, I would have to say I expect. Some horrible Xmas techno/hip-hop song is playing. Did the PCD put out a Christmas album? God, I really, really hope not, or else my faith in humanity will be dead. Oh, DVF is having an office holiday party! Call me crazy, but I'm a huge fan of office holiday parties. I don't know why. Probably the free food and the excuse to drink at work for once, you know, in front of everyone and out of an actual glass instead of hiding it in a coffee mug. Olivia tries to show up everyone by knowing the names of editors and stuff and being all, I can sit you down if you want to practice and stuff. Everyone is annoyed, and Whitney totally interrupts and talks over her, and it's awesome. Diane Von Furstenberg is on the mic, getting everyone's attention for the white elephant gift exchange! Just kidding, they don't do that, but it would be awesome wouldn't it?
B...twelve. B-twelve!
I'd love to see Diane Von Furstenberg ending up with a six pack of Shasta or something. What happens next is awesome, and it's probably due to some editing, but it's still rad as hell: Olivia asks Whit what she's doing that evening, and Whit tells her about the holiday party with Erin, and Sam, etc. Olivia's all, "Oh, your friends!" And Whit's all, "Yeah, except you," but she totally doesn't mean it. Then Olivia's all, "Just don't get, like overly drunk, and fall on your ass." And Whit FINALLY gets catty and goes, "Good tip, Olivia. I learn something new from you every day." And then she laughs. Olivia not happy. But it's so fawesome!
Why does this eventually happen with every friend I make? I'm a good person!
Over at -- swear to god -- Once Upon a Tart, Allie and Adam are having coffee or something. "Once Upon a Tart?" Are you freaking kidding me? That's not even clever, it's just dumb as hell. They're talking about playing Scrabble last night. That's right -- two models playing Scrabble. I can't make this shit up, people.

Did anyone else notice how much Duncan looked like one of the Geico cavemen? That was all I could think about every time he came on the screen.
Also I was so proud of Whitney when Olivia tried to cut her off and she just talked louder over her. I was cheering for her. I was so proud.

Why is Whitney so rude to Olivia? She's been nothing but nice to her from the start! Probably jeaulousy because she's so beautiful.
I love Olivia!

^Um, no. Probably NOT.^
Hypno, I too knew it was the extended mix, not because I'm gay, but because I'm addicted to the Massive Music Quiz on Facebook, lol.
Could Allie have looked any worse in his episode?
Barf-o-rama!

Yay Whitney! I was so glad she cut off Ho-livia! I'm so sick of that girl! She really does look plastic, but anyhoo...
During the last scene with Whitney and Jay after the party, when Jay was reciting his New Year's Resolutions, he said, "...just less partying and going out and getting...*looong pause* (looks at Whitney) ...hammered." To me, it TOTALLY seemed like he might have been about to say something that rhymes with "paid" instead of "hammered", but caught himself and changed his answer - didn't want to bust himself. Anyone else think this?
Lastly, Allie looked HORRIBLE in this episode! She is totally Wednesday Addams! Sunken eyes and everything! Allie and Adam are the poor man's Spiedi, but not as interesting. They are annoying in a completely different way.

Seriously, how could they NOT SHOW Smooth? The one potentially interesting (and hilarious) person on the show, and nothing!

Hey Jenny, thanks for putting the druggie spin on Allie's wasted away look. It's funny that we automatically connect her alienesque look to anorexia but it does look more like heroin addiction (a la Kate Moss) with anorexia as a byproduct.
Notice how celebs will cop to an eating disorder before drug addiction (even though we see them pigging out on high-calorie foods and their behavior is more in line with drug addiction than starvation/binging). Eating disorders gets you sympathy and good press.
See Mary Kate Olsen, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan for reference.
Pixielated, maybe Smooth will be the funny unseen character on the show.
