    So glad to see Betty is back but the show is starting to lose the “ugly” which was what started the purpose of the show. Look forward to furtue episodes!

    I noticed the eyebrows from the get go – but with the company being all about looks and fashion – I was disappointed that it wasn’t pointed out – unless the shaving comment from Amanda was the comment. Nothing is more irritating when a character radically changes their looks – and nothing is said on the show. Agree about the braces – can’t wait for those ago. As an adult – mine lasted 1 year tops. Retainers – another story – they can be worn forever – which could be very funny if she hooks up with Daniel at the end. Loved the butterfly analogy. One step at a time. Once the braces are off – she will need to lose the wig – get a hair makeover – not just grow bangs – it looks more like a wig than ever. But – if she completely revamps – it can’t be called Ugly Betty – America is beautiful. Also like the Marc and Justin comradeship. Hope this show goes another season.

    I liked that line about the mosquito–”No, I’m NOT happy right now, unlike that mosquito!”

      Why is it smiling? Is it because it caused some malaria?

  • webmal

    Betty got prettier…

  • Craig

    Is it me or does Matt look A LOT hotter this season?

    • Katie

      LOL it’s deeeefinitely you – he’s so anorexic looking…

    • Melo

      He does look thinner to me, but I think it’s the suits, the hair and the lack of beard. I still think he’s hot, but I miss prep school Matt.

    LOVED THE SHOW! It really is a return to Season 1, isn’t it? I wonder if more people watched it on Friday. It’s still a hit, isnt it?

    • Melo

      Apparently it was only viewed by 5 million people unlike the pilot which was something like 11 million. I don’t know how it works with DVRs, but I hope they can factor that in because a lot of people aren’t home on Friday nights, but still DVR stuff…

    Matt is totes hotter this season. So cute. Totes wanna see more of Kristen Johnson. She’s brilliant.

    “Oh, and malaria—really?! Like I would ever put disease-ridden poor people in the pages of this magazine.” —Willy, about Betty’s feature idea on malaria

    LMAO! Wilhemina always have the best lines.

    And this one:
    “I’m sorry. All those facelifts must have affected your speech. What do you say?” —Willy, after Claire tells her that she wants her to stay on at Mode

    But yall didn’t mention the quip Claire fired back at Willy..LOL..

    OMG! I LOVE UGLY BETTY!
    i totally think matt and betty should get back together. he looks way hotter this season and although he’s being a total bitch, it’s perfectly understandable! he’s been hurt and right now he’s feeling insecure and he’s not sure if he can trust betty. obviously he wouldnt want to throw himself into something if he’s gonna end up getting hurt again.
    i love him and betty together. he’s so sweet and he cares about her. u can see that, u know, at the part where betty has trouble with the coffee machine and he hands her a tissue? when her back is turned, he gives her this look and it’s filled with so much sadness and longing, yet hurt.
    i hope they sort it out. although, i must say i can totally see betty and daniel together!

    • Melo

      That was exactly the part I was going to bring up, Lynn! That is the kind of moment you need to take away (as well as how he clearly WAS affected by her kissing him out of the blue) not all the pettiness and jerky comments throughout the episode. I’m for Matt all the way!

  • AuntieD

    I mentioned to my sister, if this keeps up they’ll have to rename the show just “Betty” and I approve! BTW, if you look quickly, Matt resembles Josh Groban, yummy!
