Entourage – Turtle a millionaire?

There’s just one episode of Entourage left and … any guesses where any/all of the gang will end up?

At this point Vince is likely to end up with Sophia. I can’t imagine they’d carry his possessed courting of her into the series finale without pairing them up. However, while his documentary of women he’s dated was a creative idea, it was also really pathetic. His desperation alone should have been enough to turn her off, while Turtle’s conversation with her could have sealed the deal for Vince all by itself.

I’m not sure if Ari’s destined to patch things up with Mrs. Ari, or if he and Dana will be together in the end. I will say this: Ari and Dana are eerily fantastic together. We’ve never seen him click with his wife the way he’s clicked with Dana (on a personal level) these last few episodes. While Dana’s probably correct in saying that there’s something Ari hasn’t given to his wife, I wonder if that’s because he never felt compelled to offer it to her; that is, in last night’s episode he was, toward Dana, exactly the type of guy Mrs. Ari would be likely to love. Maybe it only comes out with the right person….

Eric will end up with Sloan. No way has he chased her from season to season, and apparently impregnated her, only to end up single. Will he go with her to New York, or will he convince her to stay? We’ll see. But I will say this: if she could pick her family over him — as she said she would — she doesn’t love him. Riches shouldn’t beat out the man that she chooses to build a life with.

I was paying very close attention to hear if Johnny had actually gotten his show back. It wasn’t until Phil confirmed it that I was sure, and it really disappointed me. I don’t wish him failure, but Drama’s move, particularly against Phil, should have come with repercussions. Instead he gets his show back with the costar he wanted, more money, and — with a $100 thousand donation to German Shepherds from Vince — a movie of the week that might just be a success. On the flip side, Phil hates him now, so if the show still had some life left it could be fun to watch Drama be made miserable on-set all over again.

I’m really disliking the DeLucas (Sonny Marinelli and Elizabeth Regen). Their admitting to wanting a free trip to Hollywood and some star sightings came as no surprise, but their insistence that Turtle explode his budget without even seeing if his choice of location was a good fit? There have been about ninety-six things that should have screamed to Turtle, “Run!” Too bad he hasn’t been listening. Will his eyes be opened now?

I enjoyed how his need for additional capital gave a ton of famous faces the chance to sneak on the show before it ends. I’m not sure about Mark Teixeira’s scene — no matter what private school for three costs, he can afford an extra quarter of a million dollars — but Alex Rodriguez definitely looked like he got a cell phone shoved in his hand during batting practice before a game; wasn’t that a mini Steinbrenner in the background?

It’s funny to think that Amare Stoudemire and Michael Strahan may play pick-up basketball games together; Stoudemire the unfulfilled Knicks’ savior, and Strahan the former Giant who still lives in the New York area. With both the NFL and NBA seasons up in the air when this taped — Strahan is a Fox NFL Sunday analyst — what else do they have to do?

I totally wasn’t surprised that Vince hadn’t sold the Avion stock, although I figured it would have been due to him forgetting to call Marvin. Instead, it shocks me that in today’s market a Tequila company went public. But it really says a lot about Vince that he’d let Turtle keep the profits on his stock … I much prefer this Vince to last season’s.

What do you think we have in store for us as Entourage says goodbye?
