Greek – Oh me, oh my, lavaliere for Rust-eye

Yeah, I cheated on that one — so sue me.

Or direct your anger at Rusty. What are you thinking, boy? Jordan? This is when sounds of a truck backing up should be screaming in your head.

I think a large part of all of this is who he was pre-Jen K. Rusty’s years as a (relatively) less nerdy guy have left him a bit too over-the-top gung-ho about each and every one of his relationships. Maybe if Jordan had gotten that semester abroad — if she’s a freshman, that’s an absurd notion; if she’s a transfer-student sophomore? Still a might bit crazy for her to think about — they could/should have taken the time apart to reassess. Or just to see how strong their relationship really is. Oh well.

Which totally ignores the fact that when Jordan was talking to Casey about whether or not she could come back and finish pledging after time away, I totally thought she was contemplating suicide. Yes, that might be a little bit selfish of me (see #2), but so what?

I absolutely loved the fact that we got to see so much of Cappie and Evan together. As fluid as it was, it would have been really easy to forget that their relationship is only something that’s been alluded to since the show first aired. It’s great to actually experience how awesome they are together.

Not that I enjoyed the substance of their story that much. This is really all about Lana (alert for those of you waiting for Olivia Munn — she’s here!), and I have a bad feeling that things are going to devolve into yet another battle between them over a girl. Do we really want them to trade in their buddy-buddy for that? Again? Not I.

The whole KT-lavaliere curse was amusing, in a very KT sort of way. Although I think it was less about any curse, and more about Beaver being Beaver, that he swallowed the pendant. Who threw up when Beaver called for the pledges in the bathroom?

The ZBZ curse, or cycle years as it were, was something else entirely. I know the sorority stuff on Greek has a lot to do with shallowness and half-nakedness, but the entire point was that the pledge class wasn’t up to the aesthetic standards of previous years, or other houses. They proved themselves by turning Thanksgiving sexy? I know that some of you enjoyed it on a base level, but think about it a little deeper, and it’s just distasteful.

Great, great scene in the Greek-merchandise store with Rusty and Beaver. Although again, why involve Beaver in this? He’s hilarious, and I’m glad for our sakes, but Rusty might want to consider a different wingman.

No Calvin or Dale this week. Still, maintaining that I’m holding strong at .308 — and hoping for Jordan’s murder/suicide.

And, of course, quotes we got:

“Old people having old people sex.” – Rebecca’s summation of Private Practice

“What’s with the pink bowtie?” – Rusty
“Oh, just feeling fancy today.” – Cappie
