Thanks for the thread, Session!

I haven't seen the episode yet, so I'll be back when I have.

Session · 03-15-2010, 02:47 PM

Very welcome! I haven't either, sadly. Can't wait to hear what you think though.

Jamie · 03-18-2010, 08:54 AM

Has anyone seen this?!

It seems like we're all behind. Let's go! I'm watching tonight.

Session · 03-18-2010, 01:07 PM

I still haven't seen it! I'm so horrible.

But I'll more than likely be watching it tonight with James.

Either way, I'll have it watched by the weekend.

Saw it. I love how Cam always jumps at an opportunity. Ben is always so hesistant. I felt so bad for them when their jeans didnt come out the way they wanted them to. seriously? was that the pattern they gave the ppl? or was that a mistake? Im glad Ben showed up at the end for the meeting with the buyer. Looks like they will be hustlin shirts now. I actually love the shirt.

Lol at Rachels boyfriend on that ectasy trip. I wonder if that will cause them to break up. I think its a hidden desire brought into the light by the ecstacy.

Feel bad for Renee. All that money gone.

AWWW! Bry got to play basketball!

I bet he loved that.

Rachel totally still has feelings for Ben. So obvious.

Oh no! Their sample is so bad.

Poor Ben!

Awwwwww of course Ben showed up at the meeting at the end!

Ben/Cam are BFFs!

How are they going to get 300 shirts made?!

Good for them though.

Can't believe there's only 3 episodes left!

Yeah, I agree. I wonder if shes going to own up to them though.

would it be as simple as going to a shirt shop and having them simply copy the image on to the shirts, kinda like school/class t-shirts?

Jamie · 03-18-2010, 06:53 PM

Yeah, I don't know, I think Rachel will admit it sometime in the next couple episodes actually.

There is a reason we know about Ben/Rachel's past, you know?

I just thought Ben & Cam were completely broke

so I don't know how they're going to pay to get them made, and I kinda think Ben has to make them himself? I could be wrong. We'll find out shortly!

Session · 03-19-2010, 04:14 PM

She really needs to! Every single time she tells her boyfriend something about Ben, she twists it so that Ben was the one to initiate it. But the X trip really did make me laugh, totally wasn't expecting that.

I think you're right Jamie, I think Ben and Cam are broke. But who knows, maybe they can call in some favors or something.

But yes, we will find out very shortly.

I so want one of those shirts now!

Only three left...
