Members Steve Posted June 2, 2011 Members Share Posted June 2, 2011 +1! Yeah, it's a shame that Madison/Scott are having so much trouble working things out and Rylee are back together. That alone makes me happy K&S were fired! ICAM with everything you said. I hope Marissa and Bianca get to be together at the end! I was expecting Kendall to kill Ricky last week. On the bright side, at least there wasn't a lame murder mystery that would've stretched out until Lorraine & Agnes took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 What is JR suuuuuuuch a douche? I haven't been this disgusted with him in ages. Am I supposed to be rooting for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Lindsey Hartley is so gorgeous , by far the most attractive woman on the show. But although I was her biggest fan, when she played Theresa, I still don't care for Cara..just like I didn't care for the one girl she played on DOOL. I feel like these writers don't get her as an actress, she flounders as the heroine, but shines at the anti-heroine. It's too late as the show is ending soon, but she coud have been the perfect replacement, for the void Annie left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 When is JR not a douche? He's been one for 90% of JY's run in the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 It just seems so purposefully character destroying at this point for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Why, bc he's mean to Scott? He's always mean to Scott. He doent like the guy much and thats been somethnig consistnt about him for the past year or so. This is nothing new or some sudden attempt at destroying him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 I was surprised by how well she filled out those jeans. Also noticed that there are a lot of soulful brown eyes on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marley Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Of course you're not supposed to be rooting for JR. You are supposed to see how unworthy JR is of Marissa's extra special pink flannel love. Just ends this crap now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 We tend to usually agree--but I think this is perfectly in character. And I don't think the show is trying to make you root for him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 Except this is typical JR. This is how he was last year with Annie as well. Are people forgetting how crappy he treated Scott? IA with EricMontreal22. This behavior is in character for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 I would actually be more annoyed if for no real reason he wasn't acting like this. Sorry--not to pick a fight, but it bugs me when a character behaves a way someone personally doesn't like that they suddenly accuse the writers of not writing in character. Admittedly--we have had sooo many bad experiences with characters being written out of character, that I get where it's coming from, but... And for the record I think in his own warped way, JR was honestly trying to help Scott--although as Scott said he had an ulterior motive behind it.

Members alwaysAMC Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 I was more impressed with Stephanie G. today than the episode she lost her baby. Spot on today! Scott/Madison - so much love for these two!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 I don't believe anyone's saying he's not being written in character. At least I haven't seen the ignorant and juvenile claims of hacking, whitewashing and propping associated to JR's antics. I just see people lost as to the motivation. All because it's in character for him to be a douchebag, doesn't mean he can be one without motivation and the audience should give him a pass. For instance, it's perfectly within character for Erica to cheat on a man she's involved with... but to this day, for the life of me, I can't understand her motivation for ruining her marriage to Jack over frickin' Jeff Martin?! That reeked of "Let's put Susan together with John James" rather than "Let's give Erica a reason to exhibit this aspect of her character." I think that's what's being called into question here. "What's the point of JR showing his ass?" Is there a reason or are the writers just exploiting this characteristic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 3, 2011 Members Share Posted June 3, 2011 This episode was dreadful. Enough with the Castillo love fest. We get it. They're the good guys! I've seen less pressured sales pitches from those people who sell magazines door-to-door. This is a recipe for backlash. I actually like Cara but I like her a LOT less when I have to sit through an entire show of Tad running all over town telling any and everyone who will listen how amazing she is, how she changes the lives of everyone around her, how the cancer survivor should grow up to be like her interspersed with shots of Cara herself being loving and fabulous and in everybody's business. Stop it. Just. Stop. It. I won't even get into the Giffin pimping because it's either him or Zach and...I just don't have the strength. As for JR, he's always been a self-centered douche so his behavior was totally in character but this Marissa thing is just pathetic. Doesn't he have a company to run? Right now JR could disappear from the canvas and I wouldn't notice. The character is just floundering around doing nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
