Papi’s home! Go, Nacho!

Still not sure where they’re going with Justin. I thought I saw him making out with a little hoochie in the previews. I hope he’s not going to try to be a “dog” like his father was before. Especially if it’s going to be with GIRLS! Ewwww!

Uh-oh! I LIKE sandwich guy (I REALLY like sandwich guy, in several different ways)…and Henry. This is going to get confusing for me, emotionally.

I liked the Mexico scenes. FLAN!

This one was really kind of uneven, much as I love this show. The Wilhelmina/Alexis, Wilhelmina/Bradford, Bradford/Clair scenes were…boring. Unbelievable, I know, but…

Most shocking, to me, was that, aside from the continued great dialogue for Mark/Amanda, their scenes together were really off tonight. I found myself watching the clock. Not good. I found Amanda much more watchable in her short scene with Daniel than I did in any scene with Mark (other than their scene with Angry!Henry).

Mixed bag tonight. I’m hoping it’s not a trend.

Let me start off by saying I hate flan. Even seeing it on the plate gave me the shivers. Aside from that, I liked this episode. I guess what I liked was the potential new love interest for Betty. Gio was staring Betty down like he wanted to eat her lunch.

Mark/Amanda always have great banter, as does Mark/Wili. Angry!Henry was funny though simply because of both Mark and Amanda thought he was hot for standing up for himself.

Over all it was a good episode, but could’ve been better.

I missed the first couple of minutes… can anyone tell me what happened prior to the credits? When/how did Amanda confirm Bradford wasn’t her dad?

I can’t wait til next week, because I laughed my ass off at the preview of Mark flailing all over the floor. I hope that scene is as funny in context as it is in the preview!

I love this show.

She and Daniel were in his office, contemplating the implications of Bradford’s being her father (if we’re only half siblings then screwing 20 times only equals ten ‘real’ times). Then she opened the DNA results and confirmed that she and Daniel are unrelated.

Why do you think that being effeminate and fashion conscious means that Justin is gay? We haven’t seen anything about his orientation, such as anyone he wants to date.

I think it would be a hoot for him to be straight, but have everyone assume he’s not…

Well, the thing with the “girls, ewww” is my personal reaction, not necessarily my take on Justin’s personal reaction. But, you know, duck, duck, duck…

I’m pretty sure that the show’s gay audience would go absolutely berserk if that happened.

8

The show has a gay audience?

I am shocked, SHOCKED!

I was under the impression that both Mark and Santos thought that Justin was gay…but the more I think about it, I guess they never actually said it.

I’d love to see Justin play basketball with George Michael from Arrested Development- they both have the “don’t let it hit me” reflex down perfectly.

And IBOTs are cool.

Yeah, mostly a transitional episode, but still had some moments. Since Ignacio adds a lot to the show I’m glad Mexico is finished (so the son was Betty’s mother’s stepson, I gather? I thought they were going for a half-brother to Hilda and Betty at first).

Favorite moment was the picture of Wilhelmina and Alexis at the Gay Pride parade and later square dancing.
