Ugly Betty - Season 4 Episode 8 - Thoughts

Ok you know the deal, WARNING! LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Blah blah blah.














Ok, I just wacthed the episode, and wow, amazing!! One of the best of this season in my opinion!


Marc: HOLY CRAAAAAAP he won't be Wilhelmina's assistant anymore? I'm kinda sad about it
I'm very very disapointed that Matt Newton had so little screen time in this episode!

Daniel: I'm glad to see he's not gonna be a womanizer again, and as much as I think he should be happy and get a new girlfriend, I would really like if he had a different storyline for a change.

Amanda: Ok, no more Matt!!!! Even though I thought it was so cute that Amanda cared about a guy that much, I really think that Matt's not good for her because he still has feelings for Betty.
I liked Betty and Amanda's race on that water slide xD ahah, that made laugh, and I really liked that scene when the race ended where Amanda was being all serious! I really liked that.
I wasn't expecting Amanda and Daniel sleeping together! I know it doesn't mean anything, I mean, neither of them has feelings for each other, but it reminded me of how much I loooooved Amanda&Daniel together back in season 1 and 2. Ahh good times xD.

Betty: Betty kind of gets on my nerves sometimes. Seriously, I can't explain why but sometimes I just wanna slap her and tell her to grow up xD!!
We all know that this Matt and Betty relationship won't work because Matt's gonna leave the show in like... 4 episodes. Is it 4 episodes? I'm not sure.

Wilhelmina: Oh god, I actually feel bad for her because Connor got arrested just when they were so happy and now that Marc won't be her assistant anymore, who will be??

Connor: How the f*ck did the cops know that he was in the Bahamas? Was I the only one who didn't understand that? If so, could someone explain that to me please?
Oh, and I know that a lot of girls think he's really hot, and even though he has nice biceps, I don't think he's that great at all.


Hilda: Uhh, cheating on Archie?? I don't blame her, I mean, compare Archie to Bobbie xD... yeah, she should definitely stay with Bobbie.

Archie: I just want him to change his haircut. Just do it. Seriously.

Shakira: Boring!!




And I think that's it! I won't talk about Justin cause he had little screen time, but he was funny like he always is.

It was a great episode, I think it was one of the best of this season, I really enjoyed it and I will definitely re-watch it soon.

What do you guys think?

posted these thoughts on my betty blog today:

The intro was interesting somewhat- Betty donning a swimsuit in Black and White

I LOVED Marc's look at Mode in this episode. That flat top hairstyle however... is ok. I miss his curls! Although he did have the curly hair at the Bahamas- which I loved of course.

Okay, so I thought all the guys looked hot- Marc, Daniel, Matt, Connor! Marc especially, as he's my favourite character. Plenty of erm, skin on show for us girls .

I for one was happy the Amanda and Matt relationship is over- thank goodness! And the love triangle between Betty, Amanda and Matt coming to an end- it was really grating on me.

Bobby still reminds me of Santos and a bit of Gio wrapped up into one; as for Hilda she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle herself now between clean cut Archie and bad boy Bobby. Who will she choose? At the moment, I'm liking Bobby.

Justin was so funny in this one- yay for Justin!

I loved Marc and Daniel's so-called 'buddy bonding' session together at the bar in the Bahamas and those two helping each other out to secure dates. And Marc looking to be Daniel's new assistant at Mode? Wow that is a first. It is going to be interesting to see whether his career will really take off for good measure with the help of Daniel, in the same way Daniel has helped Betty become an editor.

Willie and Connor- OMG!! Plus, am I the only one who thinks the scene with Connor coming out of the water and on dry land was somehow reminscent of Daniel Craig as James Bond From Casino Royale? So uncanny! A rip-off perhaps?!

The Topless Willie and Betty scene was just hilarious- very much reminded me of the Betty and Amanda topless scene in 3.07 'Crush'd'.

Everyone getting their freak on- from Wiilie and Connor, Betty and Matt- to Amanda and Daniel and Marc and Troy- Double OMG!!! :O

I was slightly dissapointed at the lack of Troy aka Matt Newton (Becki's brother) in this one- he had like 2 scenes and didn't say a word WHATSOEVER throughout the entire episode. I was like 'huh?' Hopefully, the next few episodes will make up for that.

I do think that although Amanda and Daniel did sleep with each other, I still think it was just a one- night- stand- cannot see those two getting back together and staying together as a couple in the long run.

Is it just me who thinks that this is what episode 3.18- 'The Sex Issue' should've been like? I mean, seriously? The Sex Issue? more like 'LACK OF Sex Issue'. That one was lacking in um, sex, whereas this one wasn't.

Connor arrested by the cops-yet I wonder just exactly who had tipped them off? Nico perhaps? Then again , probably not.

As for Shakira's appearance, she was okay- didn't say much and I was surprised she didn't do any singing either. I was expecting her to belt out 'Whenever Wherever' or 'Hips Don't Lie'. Oh well.

And Matt and Betty... I thought they looked cute. Shame it is not going to last long but still, they had some nice moments together.

Overall- this was a terrific episode- a lot of hype surrounded this one but in the end, it was great and it lived up to its expectations. There was a lot of sex involved too, but as the episode continued, it got better and better. 'The Bahamas Triangle' did hit the spot.

I'm sorry to say, but I really disagree with you, Matt and Betty just don't look good together. They did, back when Matt had that hideous hair but now that he's more good-looking they're just not the right fit. I really don't like Matt/Betty together.
