The City: I Kinda Like You Sorta Maybe For Sure Not Really A Lot

The City this week: Whitney goes out to lunch with some non-gay dude from DVF, which causes Jay to reach a milestone or benchmark or whatever in their relationship; Erin says bye to Duncan; and Olivia pouts.

Straight guys? Boring.

We open at DVF, where Olivia gives Whitney the skinny on who's coming to some fashion-y thing: Socials, celebs, socials, designers, and who else? Oh yeah, socials. Seriously - girl says "socials" like 13 times. If this were a drinking game, we'd all be passed out by now. Which, actually, might be a good thing. What are "socials?" Whitney asks. It's short for "socialite," Olivia explains. Didn't we already cover this in episode 1? And 2 and 3?

DVF herself asks to see Whitney. Olivia pouts. Drink whenever Olivia pouts! I guess DVF is picking out which outfits to show or something? Honestly, I think the producers made her do a little cameo, because her heart's just not in it. There is a funny part where Whitney says, "You look pretty," and DVF, in true diva/fashionista style, slurs in her accent, "No, I don't" while smiling. Olivia pouts. And lies about being happy for Whitney. Pussycat Dolls! People posing like asshats! Why is Adam in the opening credits? We've seen him for a total of, like, 2 minutes.

Call me ven iz time for Project Ruway.

During the online commercial, I'm going to pause to say that, yes, the rumors are true. You can easily google to find out, but Nevan did proposition an undercover police officer in Florida (a female. Yeah, I thought so, too.), offering OxyContin in exchange for a b.j. So, with his plea bargain, he was ordered to perform 75 hours of community service, which he didn't do, so now there's a warrant for his arrest. Also, he's a douche.

"Good Things Come in Threes." That's what The City is going to prove to us this week. Whitney and Erin are at a cafe, rehashing what Whitney and Jay talked about over dinner last week. Erin's all, be selfish, and do what you want. Seriously! You just moved to The City, Whit! Be crazy for a couple months, then maybe settle down with the Bossy Aussie.

Back at DVF, they're talking about the Wonder Woman event they're hosting. Ah, so that's what it is. Is there something going on with Wonder Woman that I don't know about? I know that Keri Russell is voicing her in a new animated DVD movie, only because I'm slightly obsessed with Keri Russell. Oh! What if she's in this episode? I would die, I would just die. Whitney's in charge of doing the window dressing, which is kind of exciting. I mean, it's not Macy's or Marshall Field's (R.I.P.) but it'll do.

And....pout.

Alixe talks a bit about what Whitney's responsibilities are for the event. Okay, you know what's weird about Whitney? Sometimes she acts like she kind of doesn't know what to do. I mean, she's always just, "Okay. Okay," and I'm thinking, "Really? You don't need to like, elaborate, or ask questions, Whitney? You get what's going on? All right, whatev." And then, she not only does exactly what she's asked, but she totally exceeds expectations! Maybe it's editing, I don't know, but it's very interesting and slightly endearing. What is Olivia in charge of? Helping Whitney. Hee.

At Erin's apartment, Erin thanks Duncan for making the bed, while he's on the computer, "shooting emails back and forth" cuz "there's a lot to do." *Cough* Facebook *Cough* Oh, Erin, sweetie, that necklace would look tacky on a circus clown. Off! Erin really doesn't want Duncan to stay, and is all, it's been two weeks, and I'm really going to dig this long distance thing. Because she "loves" you, Duncan, or at least she said so last week. Poor Duncan. He looks a little sad. And a little bisexual. What?! I'm sorry, he does! He would totally make out with another dude. I'm just saying.

And he would be polite enough to offer him cash instead of oxy, because he's classy.

HEY!! So some of the problems are ironed out on the site. One of them was getting Hypno's damn name to show up. So the recap's switched back to him, and here are the previous comments from the recap. Thanks for your patience! xo

From what I understood Jay and whitney both had two serious relationships befroe and this was their third.


Also I'm surprised that you didn't mention the clothes in Whitney's closet. Every time the camera switched back and forth the hangers moved drastically even though she was still holding the same clothes in her hand.

Yeah, I hate to say it - the recap was a bit boring. BUT is it Hypnotoad's fault, or this crappy azz show? I love Whitney, but this show is BORING! I wanted to scream after watching it.
And I totally couldn't understand Jay in the bar. I kept having to rewind! It never occurred to me that he would have been drinking, but that would make sense.
And last comment, speaking of drinking, why did Jay have to repeatedly sip on his wine before asking Whitney to be his girlfriend? Was he that scared? It was reminiscent of Lauren drinking her wine at that event like mad while she was talking to Heidi. Courage in a glass I guess...whatevs. The City needs to step it up!
You've got eagle eyes Hypnotoad! I hadn't even NOTICED Debra Messing the first time around! I watched it again and saw her twice. Once when she arrived and then again getting her photograph taking in a "Red Carpet" like set up.

hypnotoad:
Yeah, this episode was definitely less than thrilling. I mean, really, there was not one thing exciting about it. Even Olivia was boring. The only good thing was Nevan's Florida comment. To be perfectly honest, I really didn't like this week's episodes of both of the shows I recap. Next week shows some promise, though.

And Cheez-It or whatever, I thank you for nothing.

Don't mention it, Hypnotoad. It was my pleasure.

P.S. Don't quit your day job.

twunty mcslore:

I don't know how you watch this show without falling asleep. No one has a sense of humor, not even incidentally! You deserve an award for even bothering. And you have how many weeks to go?
