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!
We open this episode with a motley crew of 6 Daniel assistant wannabes staring at Betty and Daniel through the glass wall. My first question is what the hell kind of HR department has everyone show up at once for an interview? What a waste of everyone's time. "What a motley looking group," Daniel says. I already said that. Betty's vote is for Gavin which is the male version of her. Betty makes Daniel promise to pick someone good, so you know he won't. Then he gives her a big pile of crap to work on.
Betty continues to get piled on by person after person after person. She's swamped! Walking past reception Amanda says, "Wow, look at that giant pile," and Marc says, "Yeah, and it's carrying all those papers." Yeah, you're filing the receptionist's nails, so you might want to knock it down a notch, assistino!
Betty, did you let one fly? Dial down the bean burritos!
Betty ignores them and Marc asks if now that she's a big fancy editor, she won't talk to the little people. "Oh I'm sorry I couldn't hear you over your loud shirt," she says as Marc gasps. "Fashion-smack by Suarez," Amanda says. "Unexpected." That's for damn sure, especially after last season's fashion-o-rama. Marc's like, what's up with the 'tude and Betty tells him she's tried to be nice to him but since her promotion all Marc's done is be mean and tried to sabotage her, "So I'm done with you." Oh, that has to hurt, Marc.
Walking away, Betty smashed into Matt's ears and drops all of her files. Under Amanda's unusually watchful eye, Matt helps Betty pick up the files while asking her if she has any ideas for the upcoming issue. Her concept is the "unsung heroes of New York - people who do the toughest jobs and we could showcase their uniforms," she says. Not a bad idea. Matt loves it. Betty says, "I'm really glad that we..." "Yeah, me too," Matt says. Is make-my-toes-curl Matt on the way back with the good writing? Toes crossed!
Matt walks up to the reception desk and Amanda tells him his haircut makes his hair look so healthy she wants to pull it, which she does - hard. "That kinda hurts," he says. Secretly he enjoyed it! She hands him his messages and he leaves. Oh my God that bitch! is totally in love with him! Super love triangle - I say bring it!
"Oh my God Mandy, you were like five seconds away from flipping his omelet right here on the desk!" Marc says. Has she started cooking school? Because an omelet bar is exactly what that place needs! "Please, kissing him would be like kissing Betty," she says. They both gag, mostly because they are thinking of Betty's facial hair!
Claire sees Betty in the hallway and says Daniel wants her to come meet the new assistant. "Is it Gavin?" she asks. "I don't think so," Claire says knowingly. Great, he hired a piece of ass. And there she is, all 20 feet of her. Although I have to say that belt makes her short-wasted.
When did Mode start free-ranging giraffes?
Betty introduces herself and Boobs says, "I'm Lexie. Like sexy." Yeah, you're fired. But it's good to see Daniel getting back to normal. Betty offers to help her and Boobs says, "I know how things work." Super!
Daniel swears looks had nothing to do with it, and he might be right because maybe his eyes never made it from her chest to her face. Betty's like, bitch ain't so friendly and Daniel says maybe she's intimidated by Betty. "I told her she had some pretty big shoes to fill," Daniel says. Yeah, size 11 and 13 for the left and right feet respectively.
More tiring than murdering someone? Discussing it ad naseum.
At Wilhelmina's lair, Not-Nico enters the apartment to Willie's, "Where the hell have you been?" song and dance. Oh, man, we've all been there. Not-Nico asks, "Can't I go out for some frozen yogurt?" and Willie says she can as long as she can go a couple of weeks without murdering any boyfriends. Damn, I hope your apartment isn't wired.

Excellent! Great job, although I must admit, the best part was seeing pics of my unrelated, but nearly identical, twin (although I confess I am not gay).
Thanks for sharing! I agree... great episode.
