The player, The boyfriend, and The Damsels in Distress

"Mediocre" was the word that could best describe this weeks episode. Whitney and Lauren went to New York on a People's Revolution business trip to take part in the casting call for Buckler's men's line. Whitney was supposed to rekindle the so called "flame" between her and Alex, a male model she met in NYC. Things obviously didn't work out because Alex was a guy who wasn't outgoing enough for Whitney. Alex should have been a bit mor agreesive when the models and the girls met up at the club. He definitely shouldn't have been hanging out with other guys and his regular groupies. More time spent with Whitney and getting know each other would've helped the relationship. But, even then, I think that the two would have had no chemistry. Though, it would've been nice for Whitney to have a friend in the city. Whitney then went on to hook up with Adam's friend, a.k.a. "the serenader", and that was pretty unkind of her. She could've at least spent a little time with Alex and told him that things weren't going to work out, then leave with the Australian musician. What's up with The Hills' girls and their Aussies and bandies? Anyway, that was that. There wasn't too much coverage on those two. As for Lauren, she laid pretty low this episode, as in many recent episodes. Most likely because the shows ending and she's being pushed out??? That's my guess. Heidi and Spencer were very mature, in some respect, during this episode. Heidi started off wanting to start her resumé so that she could find another job. But of course Spencer had to put his two cents and add some of his dumb jokes in before she left the room. That evening as they had the wonderful choice of water at Kress nightclub, Spencer did what could have possibly turned out to be the worst thing in The Hills history, but it actually turned out to be great. Like any good boyfriend would do, Spencer talked to Brent at the club about Heidi's job loss and surprisingly did it in the proper manner. Of course Heidi then "needed" to talk to Brent and apologize for the mishap, but I think that Heidi's "beg" for her job back was a bit uncalled for. She shouldn't have done it in a club, instead maybe call, write a letter/e-mail, or an appointment for a face to face meeting. It was in a way the right thing for Spencer to do as a way to better the relationship between Heidi and him, but it wasn't his place. As for Lauren, Audrina, and Lo, they laid pretty low this episode; hence me giving them the name "damsels in distress", still waiting for someone (exculding Audrina). So, that was pretty much the big scoops from this week's episode.
