I really don't know why everyone complains - I think season two is getting more and more exciting each week and this episode was no exception.

I think it was unfair of Lindsay to ask Ryan to apologise to Caleb. What has he done to apologise for? Shouldn't it be Caleb apologising to Ryan? But for Lindsay's sake Ryan tried but once again Caleb talked down to him. I thought it pretty cool that Ryan challenged him to a game of pool to "win" Lindsay.

I didn't like Sandy kissing Rebecca, but perhaps he just needed closure on that part of his life. I am assuming that she "disappeared" whilst they were still a couple..

I felt very sorry for Seth - doesn't Summer realise how hurtful she was being by sharing a room with Zach in front of Seth?? She should have taken one room, and let the boys share the other.

I'm wondering what it is that Zach has to tell Summer before they "do" anything...perhaps it is Zach who has the HIV tests???

I find it a little bizarre that Marissa suddenly has feelings for another girl....and I am hoping that relationship fizzles out quickly. But their love scene was tastefully done - certainly no need for all the complaints about it.

And as always, I am looking forward to next week's show!!

I agree about Summer - she's really turning into an unfeeling b*tch around Seth. She knows he still has feelings for her and sharing a room with Zach is so mean.

As I said last time I hate Sandy and that other woman - she needs to go away.

I'm having trouble with the Lindsay/Caleb thing anyway - suddenly they are devoted father and daughter - it's just not real to me!

As always - loving Ben/Ryan! ugh he gets cuter!

I HATE Sandy, I didn't think I'd ever say it but I do. How the hell can he kiss another woman? And someone who disappeared so long ago and left him without explanation. I'd have thought that he'd have been angry at her but he goes and kisses her?!

As for Ryan, playing pool to sort things with Caleb? Smooth move. I liked that. Although is it me or has the Ryan/Lyndsay relationship kind of lost its spark? Maybe its just because there's so little focus on them recently.

Also loving the Marissa/Alex relationship, they actually seem really good for each other.

Poor Seth, I just wanted to give him a big hug

. Summer and Zach are evil!

I miss Ryan's love scenes!!

He had some great ones with Marissa - but only a few little kisses here and there with Lindsay.

I tend to agree that the Ryan/Lindsay ship has lost it's spark.

And yes, yes, yes....Ben just keeps on getting cuter.
