ORIGINAL EPISODES, MONDAYS @ 10PM ON MTVAll in all, not too much happened this week. My usual review is long and I generally leave some things out so you're not reading an essay on life in Los Angeles but there's not too much to talk about this week. We basically only have a couple things I think we need to address: Lauren's love life and Speidi's deteriorating relationship. Both seem to be in a state of flux and both seem to learning some new things.
To start, Lauren's love life is starting to pick up. Ever since she surprised Brody in Vegas for his birthday it's been a big question whether or not the two of them would hook up again or possibly even start dating. They've gone out and it appeared to be on dates but this week Lauren seemed to put any questions to rest when she said she had no feelings for Brody at the beach house. On top of that, she gave her number to a model she met at a Teen Vogue audition and invited him to the beach house where she knew Brody would be hanging out. So it seems that Lauren may have thought she was just hanging out with a friend when she and Brody went out together. Too bad for Brody, he seems to have thought much differently. He was incredibly jealous of Lauren's date, Gavin, despite constantly denying any jealously whatsoever.
Lauren also seemed to be genuinely into Gavin; then again not everything is what it seems to be. So Lauren went out for sushi with Gavin a few days later but according to her there were no sparks. When she arrived home she immediately called Brody and he invited himself over to "watch a movie." You could tell from her smiling that Lauren wanted him to come over and is definitely into him more than she leads on. The biggest tip off though was when Brody asked what movie she was watching and she said "does it really matter?" Hmmm, I think Lauren might have some intense feelings for Brody after seeing what a boring date is like. I guess we'll find out next week if she really does like him or she's just settling for second best.
As for Speidi, it appears there may be trouble in paradise. Well, that's if hell can be considered a beach in the Bahamas. I never thought I'd see the day that Heidi not only found a flaw in Spencer but actually acknowledged its' existence. The seeds for their confrontations last night were planted weeks ago and Heidi finally called him out on not having a job. Granted he had to push her over the edge with his constant complaining about her job and the hours. But at least it finally happened. Spencer is a bum; he's spoiled and lives off his parents money so what does she actually expect from him? And I have to ask, what exactly is Spencer expecting from Heidi when he keeps surprising her with plans? If you know she's working hard then he shouldn't expect to be able to pull her out of her job. You can't show up at her office mid-day with no warning and expect that she can walk out for lunch. The real world doesn't work that way but apparently Spencer doesn't live in the real world (not that we didn't know this LONG ago). I wonder though whether Heidi will follow through on her feelings or just put them on the back burner and ignore them like she always does.
A few things I liked last night: The looks Whitney gave Lauren after she gave her number to Gavin; very funny and I really like their friendship. They genuinely care about each other and it's good to see. I also loved Lo's comment about Gavin at the barbeque when Lauren said he was cooking for everyone not just her, "But he's cookin' for you..."
Decent episode but not the most drama filled we've seen. Personally, I like the break from all the yelling and screaming. It's nice to see Lauren with a chance to be happy or at least giving herself that chance. See you all next week, I can't wait to see if Lauren and Brody get together or if Spencer gets in the middle once again.
