Hello there, Ill be yourUnREALrecapper tonight.
Many thanks to Kathryn forfilling in last weekas I caught up on the end of season two.
Maybe you and I have that in common!
Season two was, lets just say,quite the whirlwind.
But instead of dwelling in the not-so-great past, we can take in what happened (murder!)
and move on to greener, hopefully more coherent pastures.
Im already looking forward to the new directionUnREALis taking with season three.
At first, I was wondering why shed do it, if she perhaps had a dark secret.
(Well, doesnteveryoneon this show?)
But it seems more and more like shes just there …to find love?
is now against the rules of her new essentially honest mantra.
(Something about his NGO work in Africa, blah blah blah.)
Is that really what hes saying, though?
No, the glint in his eye and gleam of his pecs says otherwise.
How come I keep getting the feeling that you are a lot more interesting than your job?
Can Rachel continue to resist temptation?
Is she truly being essentially honest if shes denying her feelings for August?
Like you blame everyone else for your anger.
Have you ever tried turning that essential honesty on yourself?
But no one seems to be really sure what essential honesty means, not even Rachel herself.
On the other hand, Serena is more predictable.
This is clearly against the rules, but everything rides on her participation here.
Isnt this what you guys wanted?
A strong, capable and put-together woman?
(Well, we can just forget last nights festivities Normans long gone.)
So, why is Serena here?
I asked the question above, one that bothers me to no end.
(At least hire a matchmaker first!)
Quinn and Rachel flip out.
How dare he devalue Serena like that to her face?
You have to make space for the guy and you have to make him feel important.
He has a point, she decides.
Quinn and Rachels way isnt working, and thats how they lose her to Chets vision.
Look where its got them!
The divide between Quinn/Rachel and Chet/Madison is only getting wider now that Serenas gone over to the Chet side.
Alas, Serena puts on the sexy dress and demands a one-on-one with Billy the Trump-voting race-car driver.
Meanwhile, Rachel tries to push the meek Owen in Serenas direction.
(Go and save her!
(You have a Russian soul, theres a darkness in you, he says to Rachel.
She really cant go one scene without being hit on, huh?)
Shes right: Serena gets knocked over mid-scuffle and then scooped up by one of the suitors.
Save that one for the promo.
Heres a not-so-subtle reminder that Quinn is actually quite good at her job.
Not very important, but were officially given a reason as to why Billy stays.
After Rachel climbs into a hammock with August for some star-watching, its likejust freakin kiss already.
He cant make a move and she freezes, bolting for her makeshift bedroom inside a gear truck.
(Why she doesnt have a proper room is still beyond me!)
Meanwhile, Quinn was watching them on a camera and heads out to August.
Guess that essential honesty thing will last at least one more episode.
