I'll go ahead and call it now that Naomi and Jen end up in a mudfight.

Not a great episode. There was some good parts but overall it was just the same dull mess that the producers have turned it into.
The Jen/Naomi stuff was funny until PJ turned up and then it got embarrassing really quickly . Also really liked the Naomi/Annie scenes and normally I don't care for that friendship at all I loved the Dixon/Adrianna stuff, I really hope that they survive whatever this record deal drama. Or at least reconcile after it breaks them up. I thought Adrianna would have had a bit of fight in her when it cames to Vanessa but then obviously that would require the producers to watch previous seasons. It could have been a great storyline except it hasn't been resolved and probably won't be since psycho V is turning her attention to Silver. And seriously, are we really going to have another ~Silver steals someone's boyfriend but yet is somehow the innocent victim~ storyline? I rooted for Adrianna last time and I'll root for Vanessa this time if they're going to be that stupid about it. I like the Liam/Silver scenes but it's all soooo contrived Why is Ivy even on this show anymore? I love Gillian Zinser and Ivy's girly scenes but this Raj 2.0 storyline is embarrassing. __________________

I think I'm going to add my full critique tomorrow, let me get out one bad.
What is the whole point of Ivy's storyline? can someone help me there? I mean out of all the stories her's confuses the beezus out of me. What? how to be a bad wife? she is still married people. __________________

Another mediocre episode, no surprise there.
Silvers cancer drama just seems so forced just like her scenes with Liam do. Liam is so clueless it is not even funny. Oh ya trust the girl who ran you over then lied about it but only told the semi truth because she was forced to over the girl you have known for 3 years and has never gotten physical with anyone and only knows how to take drugs then throw someone around. No ones storyline was interesting to me. And these discussions are starting to look like the ratings lol. |

I don't mind her with the girls to be honest. I sort of get why she's friends with them. I think her and Naomi earned each others friendship so I get why she likes her despite Naomi being everything she hated about girls. Silver (when not stealing men) is pretty easy going. I don't think she's particularly close with Adrianna and I think her and Annie have just developed a friendship through living together. I get why she hangs out with them but then again, I loved her scenes with the guys as well.
I just hate her storyline this year because it's so dull. The potential for Raj and Ivy was great last season and the new producers trashed out. She's gone through two randoms since he took off to die in a corner alone and I don't even know their names. It;s so weak and lazy. I think either Ivy or Naomi would have been a better fling choice for Liam then Silver. At least there was a history there and they don't have to invent another cancer plot that we know nothing will happen with. __________________

It's so easy for this show to make a woman in a relationship crazy, it's like the only thing that's been consistent four seasons long __________________

That's true, I do for the most part blame this on Liam since he's treated all of the women in his life (except the random widow) awful. Just the lazy writing to make Silver sympathetic makes me resent her more then pity her if you get me? I hate when I feel I'm being told how to feel about a storyline. They did it last year with Adrianna as well.

Yeah, I hate when they think trauma + boy = easy way to a new relationship when they've not noticed each other before. If they were friends, ala Teddy and Silver after he went gay, I'd get Silver and Liam more. Silver comes off in the worst possible light in these relationships because they're her friends boyfriends, even if I don't like Annie/Liam, he proposed to her and now they're making Silver feel a connection
I do blame Liam more though. He's just been bouncing from girl to girl. __________________

Yeah if this was real life then Silver would be a ~friend to avoid. Mind you, Annie felt a connection to Liam while he was still dating her friend Naomi so I don't think I'd throw much pity her if she was angry about Silver/Liam.
Liam is a jerk though. And he's worse then any of the girls because the show fails to recognise what a tool he is and call him out on it. Naomi chased him, Annie chased him, Ivy chased him and now Silver will chase him and he deserves none of it. __________________
