He is gay. Remember Susan caught him making out in the pool with John's roommate.

I think Andrew is bi--remember when he told the priest that sometimes he likes vanilla and other times he's in the mood for chocolate. Tonight's episode just made me so frustrated with Bree, I just wanted to slap her face and tell her to snap out of it. Doesn't she see how icky George is?

Was it me or did anyone notice the strange look on Bree's face when George at watermelon with his fingers?

DD, 15, just out grew size 00. She is a whopping 1/2 to 1 now. Only she is not built like EVA! Luckily, DD does not share the same fashion taste as Gabby!
I agree, getting boring. I had hoped last season, that Rex had staged his death to see if Bree had been trying to poison him, that his doctor would've been in on it etc. I think that would've made watching psycho George going after Bree more fun, if we knew that Rex was also still around and knew what was going on.
Even Carlos is getting drab, same facial expression each week, even when he was "beat up"....my, he sure healed quickly!
Lynette's only been at work a week? That has been the week from **ll!
I agree that Gab's needs to start showing soon, I mean, she found out at Carlos' "going away" BBQ...that is some time back.
I was bummed that I missed last Sunday, but after seeing last nights episode, I don't think I missed much...other than Bree sending her MIL packing!

Bree said Rex has been dead 4 weeks, so Gabby is probably only about 8 weeks along.

Did anyone else hear that she and her lawyer are going to have an affair too?

George is gross. I can't believe Bree is even with him. Good for Andrew to get under his skin.

DH asked me about Andrew last night--didn't he say somewhere...that it was all fake! I totally remember him commenting once--or at least Mary Alice in the voiceover, that he was doing it as an act.

George says he reminded him of him--so perhaps Andrew is on the psychotic side and the living hell part will be drawn out slowly.

I agree, as creepy as George is I really don't like Andrew, never have. Talk about no consence (psychopath) He ran over Gabby's mother in law while drunk driving with no remorse what so ever. Evil evil evil little boy. (much more so then Zach, I feel for Zach, but don't trust him.)

Does anyone else get the feeling that Rex is somehow still alive?

I also felt it was on the borning side last night. Thought Gray's anatomy was better.

 

[PooohBear]

I agree with everything most have posted already ! very disappointing season so far, I wish they would pick up the pace already !

 

[Poohbear123]

Before it came on and I guess I didn't miss much?! Oh, well, maybe next weeks will be better!

 

[stinkerbelle]

Yep

And Susan needs to just GO AWAY.

The "flighty" act needs to stop...who can be this incompetent?

She chose her daughter over Mike's happiness. Fine...so be it...she doesn't deserve Mike anymore.

 

[MamaLema]

I just know what Susan did will come back to haunt her...

I don't like Andrew but I was sad he went back to behavioral camp. I am rooting for him to bring out the truth about George somehow. And speaking of George, I think he fits the character to a "T", especially that creepy smile.

I found it odd that the new neighbours weren't shown at all.

I think it would be nice to show Tom having at least one bad moment with the kids. I'm sure stay-at-home dads experience stress too. I know the show focuses on the women but at least it would be nice to show Tom frazzled when Lynette comes home.

 

[stinkerbelle]

I don't like Andrew but I was sad he went back to behavioral camp. .

Did he?

I thought he just "left home".

 

[TammyNC]

I didn't watch last season (trying to talk DH into buying the DVD-is it worth it?). I thought that last night was a little boring too. Hope it picks up soon or I'll have to start taping it and watch it by myself.

 

[Toby'sFriend]

personally I've been disappointed with the Lynette storyline so far. Her character has way too much depth and intelligence to constantly be stuck on the kids vs work storyline.

If they insist on giving Bree a boyfriend 4 weeks after her husband died, I would prefer it to be some Biker Dude with a tattoo .... the anti Bree lifestyle .... than creepy George the Pharmacist.

The best scene last night was when Gabby and Bree were reacting to Susan telling the story. I agree, they need to cross over more often.

But yes, the thing that made the show so good last year was it's unpredictibility. There hasn't been hardly any of that so far.

 

[MamaLema]

Did he?

George suggested it to Bree but she didn't think it was a good idea. Then he pulled the stunt at the swim meet. When I saw Andrew packing, I assumed that Bree changed her mind and made him go. Maybe I'm wrong.

Anyone know?

Exactly. Lynette's character has totally been stuck in the frazzled career mom stereotype. I would expect more from someone as intelligent as she is.

This season has been a little boring - although I can see something interesting coming from the George/oh, what's his name? Bree's son storyline. Didn't he tell his dad he was gay the first time they sent him to that camp? That would be something interesting to shake Bree up.

 

[Cindy B]

Sort of boring episode. I know Susans actions are coming back to haunt her. Who seriously can be that stupid? How does Susan hold on to her job--she's an idiot! No wonder Carl and her divorced!

Ick on all the prison germs on the bed! Nasty.

George is so creepy. I am suprised that the insurance company, coroner, or even the doctor that was treating Rex before his death checked on the current perscriptions he was taking prior to his death.

 

[leighe]

Susan really gets on my nerves. I just want to yell, "You are a grown-up! Act like one!" at the tv. I can see why she wouldn't want Zach around her daughter though.

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

Is anyone else as offended as I am with the Lynette story line? Really, I "get" that she's gone from frazzled SAHM to frazzled working mom. But someone has to bring in a paycheck, the kids have Dad home full time--I just think it's so over the top, it's insulting. Sure, my parents would love to have both parents home full time, too--it would last until they took the house away! But, Dad works, we deal, life is rough. I don't know--there are millions of kids in America who actually -gasp!- go to day care, and live to tell about it! Kids deal, moms deal--I don't know, I just thought it was all a little much.

 

[Tenorsinging]

ok, i'm one of the few who actually likes creepy george, but...who pours salt on their watermelon?

I always salted my watermelon as a kid...course didn't have water retention problems then, lol!!! Don't salt it but the very rare occasion now...

I agree! Big deal.

My poor kids went from sitter to sitter, day care to day care, I drove them everyday to a day care on freezing cold mornings, they cried, I cried, but it was part of life.

 

[bubba's mom]

the Lynette story line

I think someone on the show had to be a SAHM....you have married Lynette, divorced, single Susan & Edie (what the deal is with her boy's Dad, we don't know), Bree, happily married (well, sorta), Gabby, married and wants NO kids....I think the show was about the different types of "housewives" and the different "walks of life" they have. If it wasn't Lynette, the writers would have put someone else in the SAHM now working Mom role/storyline. I'm not offended....I'm just glad I don't have to be in that situation because I couldn't imagine...and sadly, there are real Moms who's life is exactly like hers... Does the storyline need to move on?? ...absolutely!! People watch tv for entertainment and that's too "reality" for many women!
