I've been waiting for years for someone to make use of that shower in Big Chill analogy. It served its purpose well here, I'd say. Those Fackelmayers were up to no good at Lilypond and they should pay. Good thing Roxy gave them a talking to in between shooting scenes on Brothers & Sisters. #thecity
Olivia's interviews were painful to watch.
*cue fake smile, followed by "cool/neat/that's great/um, ok"
Both of the bloggers looked uncomfortable, and BOTH of them went "oh, that's it?" when she was done, bahahaha.
Erin, however catty and plotting she may be, is awesome at her job. I loved seeing her swoop in and save the day with better questions.
@Baroness: At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Erin splashes gasoline all over Olivia and lights her on fire. They're really playing up the animosity. #thecity
@Baroness: I agree 100%. I feel stupid watching this show (for multiple reasons), but mostly because they bash us over the head with one-dimensional characterization. Seeing Erin interact with anyone other than Olivia just solidifies my love for her. #thecity
one of my pals lives in them newstyles 99 Gold St. and it's pretty swingin'.. the rooftop view of Manhattan is just gorgeous.. and only TWO smokestacks in the way... #oliviapalermo
Why are you surprised? She's one of those girls who goes out of her way to appear like an adult in the most boring of ways. She'll fake menopause by 30, trust me. #oliviapalermo
@StonedAndDethroned: Given the glazed look of ennui-as-fashion-accessory, the good money says she will be faking more than menopause way before she turns 30... #oliviapalermo
Wait, did I call tech-support? Is this an outsourced recap? And no one named Bob even thanked me for calling Cablevision (via Sri Lanka) or asked me to take a survey.
Where do I say I'm not paying the bill because my cable was out for .9 seconds on the 16th of July, 2002?
I feel compelled to state, for the record, that The Hills has brought many beautiful and poetic and truthful moments to the screen, and for that, I will always love it. Its banality is what makes it so poignant and its surrealism is what makes it so entertaining. I don't feel at all defensive about my enjoyment of The Hills, but I do feel sad for people who watch the show but don't pay enough attention to appreciate those fleeting, wonderful moments of genuine emotion.
The City is far less interesting to me, because everyone is too calculating and self-aware to allow any of those genuine moments to peek through.

Joe Zee, you are a FOOL. #thecity

The show doesn't trust the viewers (intended demo age: 15) to get it.
It was actually nice for a change last week to see Erin smile and have a meaningful conversation with Kelly Cutrone. #thecity

I wonder how this article would have been written if she had chosen the Trustifarian North. Certainly no more charitably. #oliviapalermo

As I hear it, DUMBO's got some pretty nice apartments of its very own.
