Ok, tonight’s episode of The City was….good. Really good. Chock full of the drama that I have come to expect from the MTV not-so-reality shows. It was so good, in fact, that it actually made me excited to watch next week. And if you’ve been following my recaps you will know that is saying a lot.

What made it so good? Well, for one, JR. He’s not so cute when he smiles, but he does seem to be the only real person on the show. And by “real” I mean “someone who leaves SoHo/Grammercy once in awhile and has a real job.” He’s totally smitten with Erin and her I-totally-just-smoked-a-ton-of-pot vibe and wines and dines her in attempts to woo her back.

Meanwhile Erin is telling anyone who will listen (even in the middle of a concert) that she is falling for him and even goes as far as telling the girl with the nose (Samantha?) that she just can’t make the whole long distance thing with her Canadian lover work. Read More »

Who knew that it was so easy to get and furnish a ridiculous apartment in NY? 30th floor? Brand new? Single girl living alone? Yeah, that sh*t doesn’t happen in NYC, where the rent for a studio is $2,000 a month (and you can touch all four walls at the same time). But Whitney did! And she had it all furnished and moved into in like .2 seconds!

Who said living in NY was hard?

You don’t even have to work the whole day if you don’t want to, and you can take calls from your boyfriend (well, not really, but we’ll get to that later) while you’re on the job!

Speaking of jobs, isn’t Whitney supposed to be doing PR for DVF? I know I am still in school, but I thought PR was all about getting the company into the media (read: onto a not-so-reality show on MTV), not tying models’ shoes and taking pictures for a website.

But, whatever. Whitney’s job is clearly not important to her, so why should I care? She’s more focused on her man friend, who just wants to get to know her better and that’s all that matters. I can’t imagine why she is so confused about him; he’s so straightforward. He doesn’t like labels (read: he’s just not that into you), he doesn’t want her to be his #1 priority (read: he’s just not that into you), and he really likes his life the way it is (read: he just wants his band to get some recognition on MTV).
