90210: Worst. SAT's. Ever.
Things are pretty much not going well for anyone at West Beverly High right now, unless you count Navid, but things really only seem to be going well for him because he has no storyline whatsoever. (NOT COOL 90210!) For everyone else, there is a lot of a added stress to the whole "SAT's are coming up!" thing. There was also a lot of added dumbness in this episode. Such as:
Dixon. Oh Dixon, why did you even act kind of cool for five minutes in the last episode and make me think I could love you again? Dixon's total dumbosity was unparalleled in this ep. He lost $6000 to the guy who take that naked photo of Annie (real nice loyalty there dude, letting him play), believed some stupid story about how this idiot wanted to get into the school to 'decorate his girlfriend's locker' (yeah that sounds like it's worth six grand Dixon, sure.) stood in the middle of the damn school so that the security camera could get a real good look at his face, and then, to top it all off, TOLD THE GUY that his dad is letting them off so Dixon doesn't get in trouble. Way to ruin your Dad's career there, man. Nice job.
)
Also dumb? Silver. Let's see, Teddy is the son of a movie star, looks like a model, and plays pro tennis. I think he'll be okay without college! Really no need to worry that he's not studying for the SAT's or planning to go to college, because I think he's gonna be fine. Life has a funny way of working out for rich, gorgeous people who also happen to be incredibly athletically talented. One more thing. Not returning your boyfriend's calls because his ultra famous movie star dad didn't know he had a girlfriend...kind of an overreaction there. You probably could have fought it out with him before the SAT's, so as not to make both of you insane during a test that you seem to think is pretty darn important.
Annie. I guess she's over the whole "I killed a guy" thing and is onto being angsty about her parents AND Liam. Okay sure, that seems like a way bigger deal than being guilty of MURDER.
Harry Oh man. His dumbess abounds, because he is an adult so he doesn't even have the whole "idiot teenager" excuse. I'm sure not telling Deb about how he is risking his career to protect Dixon is really going to make that marriage even stronger.
Deb. Seriously lady, don't tell your husband you kissed a crazy-hot guy and liked it unless you just want to get a divorce.
One more, and you know I hate this but it's true. Liam. I have so many questions for him, including, 1. Why are you hanging out with Annie? 2. Why do you suddenly like Annie? 3. If you suddenly like Annie and can never love Naomi again, why did you fake that did an get back together with her? Also, why can't you forgive her again? 4. Do you not think stealing from your stupid step-dad is a terrible plan? He seems to be evil to the core, so I am sure he will have you boiled in oil or something when he finds out. 5. Really? You're not even a little suspicious about the whole "Dad was framed, just need a little seed money" thing? I mean I want your dad to be a good guy too but, come on! Oh Liam.
)
So basically, the only character who both had a storyline and didn't act foolishly tonight was Naomi. The poor girl admitted that she lied about that Australian teacher AND called herself a pervert (of justice) in front of the whole school. It was great. She promised to never lie again and reunited with Liam, and things were just going swimmingly! She was even getting everyone smoothies! But then something truly truly awful happened. JEN RETURNED. NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Next week: Spoiler Alert! I saw some awesome photos of Ryan Matthews, on the beach, looking bedraggled, covered in mustard, and possibly eating out of the trash! YES!!! You will be seeing those on this blog next week. Also, Silver meets Teddy's Dad, Ryan O'Neal. Like most dads on this show, he seems like a jerk.

Finally watched this week's episode and good lord, where do I start?
I almost thought they were going to let Dixon's gambling problem blow over, but no they had to go full steam ahead. As soon as that creep from their HS showed up I knew it was GAME OVER. Also, why in the world did Dixon bet on 6k?!
I initially was excited about the Teddy/Silver pairing, but now I could really care less. They have a new problem every week generally revolving around the idea of "trust". Ugh, enough already.
A couple I am excited about though is Liam and Annie. Call me crazy, but I like this pair. I want to like Naomi, but at the heart of it she's just like Jen and that isn't good for anyone.
Maybe it's just me, but I thought Liam's dad just popping up in the garage was kinda creepy. You can totally tell he's up to no good. Also, who knew Liam was so damn gullible? He plays mister tough guy, but he's so desperate for daddy's love that he bought those lines hook and sinker.
Can't wait for chili dog eating Ryan Matthews next week...
