    One episode, three characters are gone from Mystic Falls (for what seems like for good), and the…

    Recap: Girls Season 2, Episode 4 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    Overall, the ideals behind this episode of Girls were much more fleshed-out and just deeper than anything previously explored in the series and I fully appreciate it. While I hope that the rest of the season stays like this episode, I know that’s me reaching for something that probably won’t happen.

    Recap: Girls Season 2, Episode 3 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    There was a lot of hype behind last season’s Shoshanna “crack-ccident’ episode, so I guess the powers-that-be wanted a re-hash of that and decided to make a coke episode of Girls. Sadly, since it was Hannah and not Shoshanna high for the entire episode, the potential greatness was squandered and we got a really awkward sex scene with one of the dudes from The Lonely Island.

    Recap: Girls Season 2, Episode 2 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    I think Lena Dunham truly heard the criticism from last season. This episode was not only particularly strong, but also not written by her. I think it’s the first episode that hasn’t had her name in the ‘Written By’ credit. Maybe that’s a sign for things to come in the second season.

    Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 9 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    It’s Christmas in Mystic Falls. Besides Tyler’s mom getting totally wasted outdoors, there’s a lot happening in terms of melodrama and over-reaction city for each of the characters that we’re so invested in.

    Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 7 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    Another season of The Vampire Diaries, another Miss Mystic Falls pageant gone horribly wrong. You would think that after awhile, someone would catch on. But it seems like Ms. Lockwood is too drunk to really care about the outcome of a bunch of supernatural and hormonal high schoolers in her backyard.

    Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 6 [A Bro's Thoughts]

    My overall conclusion? I’m stoked that for the first time in four years since TVD’s been on, different people will be banging each other. Let’s get to the recap!

    The 11 Days that Shaped 2011

    AOL is taking the “best of” approach in 2011 to a whole new level this year. While the rest of the Internet (including ourselves) is focusing on “newsworthy” events like Kim Kardashian’s 72 day fake marriage to Kris Dumpfries and the perfect storm that was Rebecca Black, AOL has honed in on celebrating and remembering the loudest 11 days that took place in 2011.

  • Jersey Shore: The Decline of the Scumtuation

    Jersey Shore: The Decline of the Scumtuation

    Last night’s episode of the Jersey Shore finally put the last nail in the Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino coffin. Oh well, at least he has mad cooking skills to compete in Top Chef. I personally was heartbroken watching him go from house Papa Bear to ultimate entitled creepshow.

  • Jersey Shore: Fistpumping, Frolicking and Fighting

    Jersey Shore: Fistpumping, Frolicking and Fighting

    We had many, many thoughts going into this episode. Many questions about how the Snooki/Angelina throwdown would go down. Questions on if Tee-Shirt time would make another appearance (it did). Questions if Pauly would, yet again, be a human alarm clock with a crazy Kool-Aid man “OH YEAHHHH!” voice (he was).

    Weekly Wrap Up: Enough With Kanye Already!

    It’s been a rough week. Not only did we realize that we’ve suddenly got mountains of reading to do, but we also found out that drinking more doesn’t actually cure a hangover. We’ve also got swine flue worries, toxic friends, and the Kanye West-Joe Wilson battle for Biggest Douche of the Year to deal with.

  • Project Runway Rundown: Freaks and… Lohan?

    Project Runway Rundown: Freaks and… Lohan?

    Of course, before we got to meet the new designers in the main event, we had a little taste of some of our favorite designers from previous seasons in the Project Runway All-Star Challenge. I was more than happy to spend two hours with Chris March, Santino Rice, Daniel Vosovic, among others, but after seeing the snooze-fest of a cast that is season 6, I wish I hadn’t been teased…

  • The Morning After: Marking Her Territory

    The Morning After: Marking Her Territory

    The second weekend of freshman year I was still riding on the elation of being at college and the freedom it offered. One of those freedoms being the freedom to drink as much as I wanted when I wanted. The girls on my hall and I were invited to a party at the baseball apartment off campus where I met a very cute, older, baseball player who seemed to take an interest in me.

  • The Morning After: The Pee Pee Night

    The Morning After: The Pee Pee Night

    I’ll put it plainly: On my 19th birthday, I made it my duty to get really, really drunk. It was my freshman year at school, and my parents had come up for the weekend and taken a few of my closest friends out to celebrate with us. Naturally, as is often customary when mom and dad are footing the bill, the wine was flowing for a good two hours.

  • He Said/She Said: Do Dudes Talk?

    He Said/She Said: Do Dudes Talk?

    When I was a freshman I was fortunate to meet my best friends in the world right there in my hall. We were all randomly placed there, but it took no time to realize that fate had put us there together. The 8 of us hit it off immediately and began spending every moment together.
