Ugly Betty: Betty Goes Rogue! Within Her Comfort Zone!

On this falsely advertised as Betty-goes-bad-girl episode of Ugly Betty, we're begin our day at Casa de Nobody Works during breakfast. Betty comes into the dining room as Hilda woo-oohs that Betty got home late - at 10:30pm. I have to admit, I'm usually in bed before then, so it does sound late. Betty says some editors wanted to go out so she went with them. No wonder they called it an early night.

Wow. Fleshy.

Ugly Betty: Dancing, Blackmail, S&M and Cults - Telenovela Bliss!

Hello Gasmii, welcome to another recap of Ugly Betty, formerly known as Circling the Drain. The writers have once again pulled out a pretty good episode and I am thrilled to be able to rip it apart. Let's let it rip!

Ugly Betty: The Return of a Good Episode!

Just when you thought it wasn't safe to watch Ugly Betty, they kick out an excellent episode! In fact, there was one scene where I actually laughed out loud. I know! The show is fighting it's way back to Thursday with an episode called "The Wiener, The Bun and the Boob." It's like Girls Gone Wild, ABC-Family Style.

Holy crap! It's Betty in male form!

Ugly Betty: Get the Fast Forward Ready!

Oh my God are you kidding me? We open Ugly Betty with Betty scrubbing some guy's head and that is NOT a euphemism. She's working in Hilda's shop where apparently Hilda has schedule 50 appointments for 7am. I only guess at the time because both Betty and Justin are still at home and since they go to work and high school respectively, seems like it would have to be that early for both of them to be home. So two questions: Why is Hilda's Beautilities open that early and what the hell is she thinking scheduling that many appointments at once? Well, at least she's working. Am I ever happy?

Ugly Betty: Shark/WAY Jumped/Part Deux

When we left Ugly Betty mid-episode, Daniel had just come to her rescue by giving her back the insect story and making everyone else feel like shit! Yay Betty! Daniel smiles and pats Betty on the shoulders before leaving. She turns to her now vicious co-workers and says, "Guys," and they all turn and stare at her. "I swear," she says, "I did not ask for special treatment," which is technically true.

Pretty much the average workday for most of us.

Ugly Betty: Shark! Consider Yourself WAAAY Jumped! Part 1

Hello Gasmii and welcome back to this season's premiere of Ugly Betty! When we last left Betty, she had been promoted to features editor over Marc with a flipped coin, Wilhelmina is on the outs with Claire and Cal, Wilhelmina hired a bounty hunter to bring back Connor "dead or alive," Betty kissed Henry, Matt became Betty's vengeful boss, Daniel was married, widowed, and winner of the year's best fashion magazine featuring his dead wife (all within about 36 hours), and Hilda continued not to work. Oh, and someone scared Wilhelmina so badly she actually broke what I can only imagine is Baccarat crystal. Who could it be...Naomi Campbell?

Screw the shark, those cut-off
denim shorts are the true tragedy!

Ugly Betty: Season Finale and All the Trimmings!

Hello Gasmii! The season finale of Ugly Betty does not disappoint, what with it's intrigue, interviews, job-stealing, love-child aborting/adopting, Henry-returning, sexoholic living in sinning, Betty-cheating, Justin-dreaming, career-ruining, hopes-crushing, Molly-watching, ghost-whispering, cover-modeling, bride-dying, mother-drinking, investor-meddling, co-editor snaking, features-editor-dying, pigeon-picturing, magazine award-winning, Matt-revenging, and private-investigating...phew! Let's begin!

Sweet Moses, I need to get a life!

We open with Suzuki telling us it's day 7 of Molly Watch, and I'm thinking New York has peaked. How awkward would it be to be leaving a hospital with a bunch of people cheering you on from your terminal disease? "Gimme a T! Gimme an E! Gimme an R,M,I!...Gimme an N - A - and an L! What does that spell? TERMINAL! Go Spartans!" Suzuki says Daniel, once a "man whore" has been transformed into a devoted husband. Of 7 days. "It's Prince Charming and soon-to-be-Sleeping Beauty," Suzuki says. Hey! That's my job!

Ugly Betty: Y.E.T.I.-Schmetty, Betty

J'adorable Suzuki St. Pierre kicks off this episode of Ugly Betty with an update of the Meade Publications saga, calling Cal Hartley an "eccentric billionaire and my future sugar daddy." He continues saying, "Yes, the seemingly preposterous rumors are true...people are eating at Mode!" and we see Betty walk by the camera chowing on a huge chocolate doughnut. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I see nothing wrong with this
except that she's not sharing with me.

Ugly Betty: Kid Ain't Gonna Brown Up After All!

We open this episode of Ugly Betty the way I normally start my day: darts into the picture of an evil female boss! Christina is taking out her aggression towards Wilhelmina and says she did consider throwing a dart at the real thing, "but she's so damn fast in those heels!" So am I, but only in comparison to my sensible-shoed co-workers.

Ugly Betty: Rabbit Test? If Someone is Pregnant, I'm Blowing My Head Off

Previously on Ugly Betty, which was like decades ago, the Meades lost their money through embezzlement and not through gambling and hookers as expected, Papi almost died but now that storyline is dead, and Betty decided the threat of AIDS, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, the herp, and hairy genital warts was no match for her horniness for Richie Rich Sports Guy Matt. And again, I ask, where is Gio? Things were so much simpler when he was around.

We open this episode with Wilhelmina and Daniel slumming it like the rest of us do on the way to work via - ick! - public transportation. Oh, Willie, never wear patent leather on sidewalks, you'll only regret it. And Daniel gets his briefcase caught on the bus railing because he's a total and complete tard.
