Miss Congeniality's Heather Burns Reminds Us She's a True Queen on the Perfect Date

^ Saw lots of celebs posting that meme this week

Such as JGL -

THAT end scene where you just know Gracie and Eric have gotten together overnight and they're so nonchalant about it, like it was destined to happen

**Crystal Clear** · 09-18-2021, 04:50 PM

^ Oh, and that's why the sequel remains non-existent in my mind. To write off Eric's importance to her is a total insult. There's NO WAY he would have treated her casually like she's just any other woman who he got into bed

They were friends first and it evolved into something beautiful.

I haven't seen the sequel but it's cute that they brought Cheryl back.

I wonder how she emotionally dealt with nearly being blown up?

Give it a watch and see

I have been tempted over the years

but I haven't really liked the parts I have seen.

The cast don't seem as good this time around. I'm not sure it makes sense to do another one.

^ Also, in reference to the sequel, I'm still not happy that they wrote out Eric by using the excuse that he was happy to have a sexual relationship with Gracie but then he took off when it was on the verge of turning into commitment.

Huge NO, writers.

We all saw how much he cared about her and we were informed of their long history together. He wouldn't have left her. Don't use his history with other women against him, it's not fair.

That was such a funny scene.

I always loved Shatner's "help me" expression when he was lost for words after she said it!
