EN is having computer problems, so you’re stuck with just me this time around.
Alright, so we’ve got our first post-Jordan and Bananas throw down episode coming up. The previously on reminds us that in addition to Jordan, Jonna went home. Laurel is of course heartbroken over Jordan’s departure. HOW WILL SHE GO ON?! Continue reading
Author’s note: Just a reminder that EN’s remarks are in plain text and MattBlerg/clarity’s re in bold.
The episode opens with a shot of Laurel and Jordan making out in the pool. “He’s sweet, he’s just a sweet person.” Oookay. Sure! Meanwhile, Bananas uses the word “canoodle” and talks shit with the others about Jordan. Continue reading
Author’s note: This week’s format is just a bit different than the rest of this series this season. I hope you enjoy!

When was the last time the country sat in front of the television, riveted by a technological advance happening right in front of their eyes? Not something shitty like last year’s Boston Bombing and the subsequent movie-like criminal chase that had everyone glued to their favorite news outlet, but something where we just go, “Holy shit.

Can the networks deliver?
Well, they can certainly try. Below we’ve listed a few of the shows that seem worth checking out. Note: We’re only discussing shows that are totally new here.

Welcome back! We’re a little late this week because, while Clarity was hanging out at Hangout Fest, I was wrangling dogs in freezing cold rain on Michigan Avenue. SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK. My boss is a complete nutjob. It was a nice mental break. If it makes you feel any better wearing a bra will be uncomfortable for the next few days because sunburn. Continue reading
