i absolutely loved this episode...one of my favourite ones...Wade and Zoe's sexual tension was unbelievable and i loved the fact that Zoe's feelings for Wade are starting to change...she can't help wanting him...falling in love!Last year it was all about Zoe's crush on golden boy (oh god..i hardly agree he is)..but in fact no chemistry existed...no true desire !Wade is and has been in love with Zoe since last year...the difference is, he let his true feelings show last year but was disappointed, now that he knows he can set the rules ....he is actings all jerk like ..trying to gain Zoe's heart..!he's too insecure to let her see he feels more than sexual desire..it's a self defence indeed!

The only thing you can possibly accuse her of is prolonging the triangle because Hollywood unfortunately believes triangles are the only way to tell love stories. We don't have to like HOW she's doing it (although really? Being an immature jerk to hide his true feelings or pretending to only want physical relationships with women is NOT OOC for Wade), but to read malicious intent into it is just silly. Also? It's the 2nd ep and it was already better than the 1st! Give it some time. The best stories are realistically developed, not rushed just to give the audience what they want.

These conspiracy theories have passed the point of amusing and are now just sad. I'm a Zade shipper as much as the next person, but I guarantee you, no one is actively trying to ruin this show or attack Bethel. Porter does not have the authority to direct how storylines are written or who gets interviewed. I'm not sure exactly what mina means by "as horrible as she is she may have fudged the numbers," but if she's referring to ratings, those numbers are released by a company unaffiliated with the network, let alone the show. And trust me, even if LG did release them, she wouldn't attempt to get her show cancelled just because most viewers prefer one branch of a love triangle over the other.

Yeah, her attack on wade last episode may have cost her the show but who knows as horrible as she is she may have fudged the numbers. Bethel was the best thing going for that show...i hate this. will never watched another show produced by lalia.
wow
October 10th, 2012 7:46 PM
I don't know who's EGO was hurt Porter or Lalia but I do think Porter is trying to relive the days of FNL. Everything now makes sense... Bethel silence but Porter and Bilson are giving interviews. I think they were upset over the critic's fondness towards bethel and not porter. If this is true it's a shame that Porter has to be this way.

Yeah, the ratings were down. Lalia is a freakin idiot and her mistakes are going to cost the show. She had no plans on keeping Wade and Zoey together...she was using them to build a larger audience... Zoey was going to utimately pick George before season end - I think people knew that. I don't under why she turned Wade into a JERK...he carried the show. People like him because of his charm - she keeps digging at him ...I think people are tried of her. We're SICK of her bias towards Porter. To top it off, she turns Wade and Zoey into sex animals...like they can't be anything more. Lalia is horriable.

Anyway, what I did think was great to see was Wade giving Zoe a wink and seeing her past the group of girls flocking to him. It reminded me of all those sweet moments last season between them. I'm still hoping the writers have fun with their date nights and things because neither of them are all that romantic so they'd be hilarious. Also, just reading your comment ‘Wow’ – “I think we all were expecting much more mature characters” … completely agree and unfortunately, a bit of a spoiler - it says in episode four Zoe is still trying to keep things casual with Wade but she gets jealous when she sees him with another woman and decides to play at the same game…
I honestly think it's going to take something far greater for those two to realize how much they actually mean to each other more than say what Zoe wants George to mean to her.

@Jonas - I'm pretty sure this is Leila Gerstein's baby that Josh and Stephanie have left her with but throw in a meeting or two about it. Lol, who knows... but I love this idea for a show Leila has come up with. What I'm not so keen on is her writing - she did a pretty good job on the pilot (I mean it drew me in) and then I guess last season’s finale but writing the characters in-between, she seems to take a severe stand with them (e.g. tweaking Wade last week to be nothing more than heavily obnoxious and annoying, Zoe pining for George - New Orleans anyone (and every other episode she wrote)? Also the terrible character and storylines that surrounded Judson...). Also completely agree with ‘Wow’ and ‘Zoe/Wade Fan’ that Wade’s character recently just hasn’t matched everything ‘Zoe/Wade Fan’ said.

October 10th, 2012 7:08 PM
I totally agree with WOW. It is like the show writer is determined to force the George/Zoe pairing on us, so they are writing Wade's character as a jerk. I mean can we just go back to the first few episodes for a recap here. Does anyone remember him making the chili for her, or how devastated he was when he thought she was really starting to fall for him and it was just a game to her. Wade is not just after Zoe for sex. He has real feelings for her and has a hard time showing just how deeply he cares. The show started out with all this complexity of the issues that Wade has with his father, and how that makes it hard for him to show his true feeling to anyone. Now I feel like the writers are just trying to sabotage his character. As happy as I was to see a Wade/Zoe pairing it also made me furious, because it was so demeaning to the character so many of us have come to love.
wow
October 10th, 2012 6:34 PM
I like zoey and wade too, but, I too think the show is DEMEANING their relationship...it seems to be nothing but sex. I also noticed that the ratings went down I wonder if Lalia's decision to turn Wade into a JERK (last episode) affected the rating. Alot of people were turned off by that...I think we all were expecting much more mature characters. Lalia is determined to SCREW her own show.

This was a really good episode because it had it all, this back and forth bickering with sexual tension between Zoe and Wade are priceless to see.
And it somewhat amazes me after seing that clusterf*** for a season premiere of Gossip Girl that Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz can produce something as good as this. Or maybe it was a fluke, because on GG you two are lacking imaginative skills and are plain and simple talentless. But that's what's to expect when you all started pandering to the crazy fans out there - You know the furniture squad.

@ Margaret: "I am so happy that they've given George this new side that no one had seen yet."
Another part that bugs me - all the girls suddenly in awe of George's singing. How could they not have seen this side of him yet? With the amount of crazy events Bluebell gets up to and Lemon's probably forced him into over the years? It's a side the audience has seen of him after only "knowing" him a year. It's a side we've seen of Lemon, Brick, Magnolia, Wanda, Tom, random guest performances, etc. etc. Perhaps HoD is trying to compete against The Voice! Personally, I'd prefer to see more acting and less singing. Much more importantly, I'd prefer to see more thought put into wrapping up storylines (e.g. they could/should have had another scene with Brick and Lemon seeing as how she nearly killed his date) instead of wasting limited screentime on another musical production number. And then trying to convince us that this was something no one in the town knew he was capable of!

I LOVED that we were treating to hearing scott porter sing again!! as a musical theatre geek & with the knowledge that he was in the original cast of the off-broadway classic Alter Boyz, I am so happy that they've given George this new side that no one had seen yet. Plus, Scott has an awesome voice!!

I used to love Wade but am finding him harder and harder to handle. I actually find myself moving more in the George/Zoe direction every week. It seems like Wade's personality has become completely over the top and I am getting annoyed watching the scenes he is in, which I used to love! Zoe and George's relationship seems understated which is growing on me.
This was a pretty good epiosde. Last season near the end I was a little tired of the show as seeing Zoe and Wade one up eachother was a little much. So far this season I am enjoying it alot! I really hope it does not go the same direction. Saying that I have been team Zade from the start!
I predict Lavon will be Mayor again and he and Ruby will be a couple!

I still like the Wade/Zoe pairing, and hope they end up together. I did feel like shaking Zoe this week though, she was a little too wish-washy. I love Rose, and hope she's in it more. I want to know where Shelley is! She's a great addition, and needs to come back!

October 10th, 2012 8:05 AM
(continued) treated in Bluebelle due to Lavon not breaking up with her and Lemon being well Lemon, belle of the ball etc? Also I am unsurprised to see that she intends to run for Mayor - best way to hurt Lavon, as he loves his mayoral status. And her smile as she left him was definitely tinged with some wickedness.
And Zoe was right, even when we're grown up we still sometimes cannot figure out what we truly want especially in a situation such as hers, or when the person is right in front of us.
Cannot wait to see next week's episode

I kinda of find Zoe a bit selfish this episode, she does not want either of them to have a relationship or a sexual partner unless it is her. Just make up your mind it's not cute in the circumstances, it's just selfish.
I can't believe I am saying this but Lemon is actually nicer in this episode than Zoe, if George chose to return to her and after forcing him to grovel, she took him back I would approve. I actually liked their dynamic and even though they are exs he wanted to cheer her.
Did George get fatter?
Personally I like Zoe and Wade together but at least he is somewhat coming in to accepting he has some element of feelings for her. She however *rolls eyes* is behaving like a 5 year old with toys, mine, mine! But doesn't want to keep one toy but all.
And wow Lily Anne's hatred is hilarious and her song- Run From Wade gives you instructions to get away from Wade. And Lily Ann is a total nutjob as Wade stated.
Is Ruby evil? Or is she just bitter about the way she was treate

I have to agree - this episode HANDS DOWN made up for last weeks. LOVED IT and will probably watch it again because it was that good.
From Zoe being pants-less, the random Bluebell resident concerned by the sale of her toaster coasies if the tourists stop coming, the adorable owner of the rammer jammer with his "yeah's..." when he had to fire Lemon, Lavon with his perfection as a character (loved learning more about him, and say it like it is to to Zoe), George moving on and yet that sweet moment when he noticed Lemon hurting. It was also nice to see Zoe's reaction when Wade was getting a little too much attention by the singer, lol also her and her marshmallows :D
The ep just gave us some more grit to bite into to and look forward to whilst being hilarious at the same time.
I'm still keen on them getting somebody great in to come up with a quirky intro that involves all of them though.

October 10th, 2012 12:27 AM
Yeah, What's up with Lilly Ann. Wow Lalia must REALLY hate Bethel...just joking.
Lemon: Oh, this is about George Tucker. Because he broke up with Tansy and you think Zeorge is inevitable. No, you don't? Why not? He's finally single. She's...
