This week on The Shitty: Whit goes on a bad blind date with a d-bag; Roxy fights with another d-bag; Kelly has to call Whit out on her crap again; and Olivia and Erin don't get along. Did you guys know that? That they don't get along? News to me. Also, for reasons I can neither explain nor comprehend, Cobra Starship (the band, not an actual starship of cobras) meets with Elle. Which is the closest thing to a music video MTV can do at this point.
I am SO sorry about the lateness, guys! Usually I like to have my recaps up ASAP (because in my opinion, the longer people have to wait, the less they care, ipso facto, the less they read and comment). But this week has been weird. Anyway. Whit and Roxy are eating outside, and are talking about calling pest control. Apparently they have a squirrel in their apartment. Seriously? If this really happened, then why aren't they showing Roxy and Whit freaking out in their apartment? Ah, because that would have been interesting. Instead, I really hope they show us the same old crap they always do: Whit going on a date, and Erin and Olivia working. Roxy has a date with that douchey Zac guy from a couple episodes back. Although, isn't every guy on this show douchey? And Whit's going on a blind date with some guy who works at Bergdorf with Sam. Roxy's like, Ohmigod you know what that means - he'll know more about fashion than you! Also, he'll be gay. I'm just saying! Also, we desperately need the bitchiness and awesomeness of a gay BFF on this show. They work in fashion. I've seen them -- I watch Project Runway. Or at least, I did the first season. I don't get the lack of gay dudes on this show. Credits.
At Elle, Joe says there's a big photo shoot coming up, and he needs Olivia to eff it all up. Or in his words, "Help out." Um there's this actual part of a conversation that goes like this:
Joe: I love a man's watch on a woman.
Olivia: Me too, love it, love it, so sexy.
Joe: So sexy.
Okay, what? Seriously? Erin comes in and Joe asks her to come down to the photo shoot later on. Then there's about 7 seconds of needlessly awkward silence.
It's time for Whit's blind date in Tribeca. Whit's date tonight will be Patrick.
Whit asks Patrick if she kept him waiting a long time, and this is his reply: "You did, but it's all good." He follows this suave statement with something even suaver: "I see you're rocking some bling this evening." And then Whit's reaction is priceless: "I . . . gueeessss." Hee. Then there's this discussion of the ridiculous abbreviation of phrases (a particular pet peeve of mine) that Patrick thinks sound cool and interesting. Like "5F" for the fifth floor at Bergdorf. Or "L.V." for Louis Vuitton, which Whit doesn't get until Patrick explains it. Turns out he called his female roommate to meet him at "LV" and the stupid idiot had no idea what it was! I mean, can you believe it? And do you even care? No. Whit asks him for advice about getting some sneakers, and then asks if he's been on blind dates before. He has. Shocker.
Meanwhile, Roxy meets "Too Cool For a H On the End" Zac for a date at a bar that is, according to Zac, "the coolest shit." Any bar that serves alcohol is "the coolest shit" to me. Roxy asks about Zac's girlfriend. They broke up. Roxy says her last relationship was freaky, and the guy like, "ended up sleeping outside her apartment." Now, I have nothing to base this on, but I'm gonna call bullshit on that. I just think Roxy's lying right now. And, you know, always.

This thing was so late I don't think anyone will comment on it, but just in case:
1. As much as I hate to defend Olivia, the whole Erin-hate thing is getting REALLY tired. At this point, she's just making herself look bad. As for the whole "hip-hop/Tribe" thing, I'm sort of on the fence. I mean, I love jazz, but if I told somebody that, and they named some famous jazz musician, chances are I wouldn't know him/her. So I sympathize with Olivia. And I hate that Erin is making me say things like, "Geez, lighten up on Olivia, give the girl a break." I should not be thinking things like that!
2. Hate Roxy. Hate. She's the kind of girl who never takes responsibility for her own actions, and that's just stupid, foolish, and wrong.
3. I will be SERIOUSLY surprised if this show gets picked up for another season. It's just so incredibly uninteresting.

Thanks for the recap Hypno! I quit watching this show after last season, and I depend on you for the great recaps. Great job!

I feel the show is much better this season. Somehow the real world has bled over into Whitney's fake life. The producer setup dates keep backfiring and Kelly actually wants them to do real work. I like Erin and understand how pissed I would be if I had a tv show trying to f up my career.
