Tonight on The City: Allie doesn't know whether or not to trust Adam when Cat confronts her about what happened, Olivia and Nevan are bitches, and Whitney's barely in the episode long enough for me to hate what's on her head.
What's that smell?
You guys, I'm so sorry, I seriously thought The City was on hiatus, but it's not. And I'm sad. But you know what's even sadder? The Shitty was just renewed for a second season! Ugh, thanks a lot, Satan!
This is the look on my face right now.
Before we get started, let me give you my theory on one Whitney Port: Whitney is tofu. She's mildly pleasant and good-natured and junk, but if you don't put her in a wok with other seasonings, veggies, flavors, etc., she's still going to be bland old tofu. Without her flavorful friends surrounding her, Whitney is pretty much meh. You can't hate her by herself, but you can't really do anything with her. Tofu.
Sorry, but it had to be said.
Okay, so Allie is over at Whit's apartment, but I actually think they showed the exterior of Erin's apartment, so I'm really, really confused. Ah yes, I can see Whitney's ugly ass couch, so I know where we are. Allie talks about trust and Adam cheating. Whit's all, if you're questioning who's right or wrong, then something must be wrong. And then Allie makes a really, really pathetic sound. Remember last week when they had this exact conversation over lunch? We didn't care then, and we certainly don't now, do we?
I will ray gun your people if they treat my species with disrespect.
Credits. "He Never Said He Had a Girlfriend" is the title. I'm assuming it's not about Nevan, in which case it would be, "She Never Said She Was a Cop . . . And I Assumed She Was a Tranny Anyway, So . . . My Dad's An Art Dealer! You Dudes Want Some OxyContin?" So, Olivia shows up for work, which can only mean that it's around 3pm, and Whit tells her that Adam and Jay got some "artist friends" together for an art show. She then proceeds to invite Olivia, who says that she's going to have to check her skedge and if she's open, then she'll come.
Why does this thing have so many letters on it? So gauche.
Then Whit proceeds to tell Olivia about Adam potentially cheating on Allie and how everyone will be there, and Olivia's all, "that's way too much information for me," and about how she doesn't want to hear about it. Rude! She then says that Whit should just stay out of it, and that Whit is an adult now, and this stuff is so high school. Okay, granted? Yeah. It is. But what the holy effing hell, bitch?!
Whitney, of course, just sits there and takes it. You know what would have been the appropriate response? Laughing in Olivia's face, derisively, and being all, "Uh, okay then, you psycho Upper East Side WASP freak. And Manolo Blahnik don't know you bitch, so cut that shit out." Whit is all, I wanted someone to talk to about it with, but I guess you don't want to . . . and then she trails off. Well, by now it's 3:05, so I'm guessing it's time for Olivia to pack up and head home. All in a hard day's fake work!
Wait. Where are you going?
Over at Bergdorf Goodman, Catarina and Samantha are eating soup and talking about the art show and how Allie will be there. Apparently, Adam didn't tell Cat that he had a girlfriend. Long story short, Sam convinces Cat to tell Allie the truth about what happened that night. What did happen that night? Dirty Sanchez. That's all I'm saying. And possibly a rusty trombone or two.

When Olivia shut down Whitney's story, she was basically speaking for the bored audience but still...this IS Whitney's show. Olivia should know that since she's in the credits and all. Whattabitch

Whitney's on her way out. I think we'd all like Erin to be the central character in the show. Girl power! No more whining and crying about boys!

I hate this show. And I'm so disappointed because I had such high hopes! I really could care less about these people; and you're right, Hypnotoad, Whitney was barely even in this! The show is just too contrived!
Olivia was right (Gasp! Did I say that?!), this isn't high school! Grow up! Dude! Allie is an idiot, Whitney has terrible fashion sense, especially for someone being in the industry, and this show was boring!!!
Great job with the recap Hypnotoad! You've earned your Purple Heart again this week. And I LOVED KATE AND ALLIE!!! I had to You Tube the theme song b/c I had forgotten how it went! Ah, the good old days!

Two words, MTV:
Erin's City
Hypno, there are episodes of the Hills that have nothing to do with what's her face. It happens. Doesn't mean the central character is out. It's MTV's reality TV formula.

look at whitney. then look at everyone else. i think she needs to stop dressing like a california prostitute circa 1968 and TRY to look like a grown up living in ny and working at a fashion house. and maybe be a little more interesting.

Kate & Allie was Shakespeare compared to this drek!
Actually, it was a good show.
Yes, Olivia was right in this one instance. All this, "he kissed her" and "they were making out" is high school at best. Maybe junior high. I mean, adults don't use the term "making out." At least the ones I know.

okay I haven't posted on TVG for a while.
1. Yes we get it the show is boring, but it is just as boring to have a recapper repeatedly mention how fake a show it, we get it, you hate the show, can you ask someone else to recap?
2. The show should not be about Whitney, they need to write her of the show, like she decides to go back to California, and instead we focus on Erin, Allie, Olivia, and Adam, young people living in the city, their stories seem more interesting.
3. WTH is Adam doing on this show, apparently he is a fairly successful model, with prominent campaigns, and MTV showing him working at that bar, is fake because he actually owns the restaurant so he is not a bar tender, I wonder why he and his agent thought being on this show was a good career move.
4. I like adam, he is cute and a gentleman, yes I said it, that other girl is just trying to create drama, so she can be on the show, if there was any evidence, MTV would have shown it, plus him offering her is jacket and deciding to go somewhere else that night to give her space.
5. Apparently, Jay is a failed model, go figures and is it me or is Whitney getting more ridiculous in her clothing choices. In LA next to Lauren, Audrina etc, she looked so cute, but in NY she looks average and just weird.

How annoyed and taken aback do you think Whitney was when Olivia basically told her to shut up? How many times did Whitney have to sit and listen to Lauren talk about all her little problems. She probably thought since it's her show, it was finally her turn to vent and gossip and Olivia tried to act like she was above the drama. Yeah it is stupid drama, but Olivia didn't have to be so rude. As for the drama itself, I hate when girls ask other girls what happened, because they don't want to deal with their own boyfriends' response.. so basically Allie found out that her boyfriend cheated on her and still didn't break up with him. what was the point of having a confrontation? And what is wrong with Cat, why would you put yourself in that situation by going to the art show? And didn't Samantha say a few episodes ago that Cat had a boyfriend? I don't get why these girls think Cat needed to approach Allie. According to her, she's the innocent victim who didn't know Adam had a gf, so I would be like, ask your boyfriend... it's not like they're even friends
