Ben.......so annoying.

A_shiningstar · 07-29-2008, 05:58 PM

haha good title. I have to say I like Ben he's such a romantic....and I like how non realistic the show is also. I hope she says yes because frankly she'd be stupid to turn down a sweetie like Ben. Guys like Ben do not really exist...

**lalatina15** · 07-29-2008, 05:58 PM

Agreed. Nice kid... but seriously, needs to calm down.

I finally got into during the last 15 minutes. And then it was over.

Beautiful Blur · 07-29-2008, 06:00 PM

Ben is just ridiculous...he hasn't a damn clue at all. He's way in over his head, and if I were Amy, Ben would be such baggage for me, compared to everything else she has to deal with.

Jack is just as ridiculous and I really can't stomach anything about him. He needs to GTFO.

Adrienne (sp?) -- I'm liking her more and more and I want Amy/Adrienne interaction...there's possibility for some great dynamic between those two.

collide · 07-29-2008, 06:01 PM

She is 15. Why would she say yes to marriage proposal? If she does, she is stupid.

What is with Jack's 180? I thought he was "in love" with Grace.

I would like to see Adrian and Amy become friends, too.

A_shiningstar · 07-29-2008, 06:07 PM

^because its an unrealistic show...created or written by the the people that wrote 7th Heaven...

^because Ben is sweet, and love's her. He's willing to pretend the baby is his.

Tutor_Girl · 07-29-2008, 06:14 PM

TFTNT.

It is? thank god. (referring to the title) Now I have something to look forward to.

And yes, I'd really like to see Amy/Adrian be friends. That would be interesting.

**lalatina15** · 07-29-2008, 06:26 PM

I know right? What happened to Jack? Not that I didn't enjoy that little Gracey verbal smack-down... yo - where the hell did that come from? I thought he actually liked her... loved, not exactly... but at least cared. Damn.

Ben, you guys are 15. Please shut up. You two cannot get married. It is not your kid. You barely even know Amy. No. Just stop.

An Amy/Adrianne friendship? That would be awesome! I think the girl needs to get new friends anyway. Her little sidekicks ain't doing it for me.

Tutor_Girl · 07-29-2008, 06:33 PM

I think Lauren (one of amy's friends) sounds like someone from the Camden family.

Gracie smackdown? Oooooh. Sounds interesting.

**crazycait714** · 07-29-2008, 06:37 PM

This episode definitely had its LOL moments, but i enjoyed it.

I think it's sweet that Ben wants to take care of Amy. Very unrealistic, but the whole show is pretty unrealistic so I'll just go with it.

Grace just irks me for some reason. She is probably the most naive tv character that I have ever seen. Ricky is playing her, and she has no idea. I did feel kinda bad for her when Jack revealed the real reason that he dated her.

I'm liking Adrian more and more now. I really want to see her and Amy have interaction. The dynamic there is interesting.

I'm so glad Ricky finally knows. I want a scene with him and Amy! I mean, come on.

The actress who plays Ashley is getting better. I loved the scene in the beginning with her dad.

I can't wait for next week. The parents are going to find out.

Well, the Catholic version. I blame her for making me paranoid that I sound like a judgmental idiot. At least the other one is kind of thinking.

I can't wait for next week. Of course, I said the same about this week... but, whatever. I'm still looking forward to it.

Tutor_Girl · 07-29-2008, 07:14 PM

Well, good to know it's all out. I wanna see what Ricky does about it. i'd really like to see more Amy/Ricky/Adrian interaction and less Grace/Jack and crew. I like Ashley too of course, she makes me laugh

Ben's sweet, but it's so smothering it gets tired after a while. The marriage thing is so uncalled for and WAY too early. I'm 18 and I don't see myself getting married for another 5-6 years at least.

Brenda Corinthos · 07-29-2008, 08:03 PM

I just can't get into Grace and/or GR. He is so playing her and she's naive. Can't really stand her. I've actually liked Jack in the last two episodes. I do think he and Adrian could be interesting if they fleshed him out more. And although he was a jerk to Grace, I kinda loved his verbal smackdown of her. Also he hinted at Grace's mom comments about Amy which I found interesting. I don't find Grace's mom or Amy's dad to be great role models and seem to make fun of each other's kids. Don't like that.

I wish Adrian and Amy had a chance to talk. I'm sure it was about their parents but they would be an interesting duo.

Ben is so sweet. He was way too clingy last week and he's proposal may be ridiculous, he's just too sweet and such a good guy.

I think the actresses that plays Amy and Ashley are great. I love Amy and Ashley. Love them bonding and laughing at their dad. Kudos to Ashley for her speech to her dad about him leaving, cheating and how good&pretty their mom is

Tonight was the first time I had watched this show. I thought it was good. It is great seeing John Schneider, Molly Ringwald, and the woman from Melrose Place in this. I like this show cause it is about real issues that goes on in highschools everywhere. Also the issues that some teenagers go through with their parents.
