I guess Olivia's nickname for Christian in the March 17th episode stuck after all! "Chrissie Baby"!

For me the best line of the whole episode was Olli's "my poor Chrissie". Lydia and Sebastian have to be in the know the way they act so much in love around each other. I think we are to believe they are still clueless about it, but how could they NOT see? It's beyond me... It's almost like they are surrounded with flashing signs saying 'We're in love and a couple!'. Exactly! Especially since neither of them have been out on a date with anyone else in ages. |

Thanks for the videos and subs, Ivan, Nanna & tihkon!
I actually watched the unsubtitled clip first and thoroughly enjoyed it without knowing what was being said, then enjoyed it again with subtitles. What a fun episode! All the boys were adorable - Olli, Chrissie baby, Gregor and Sebastian.
Also, it's been mentioned many times before, but No Limits really does have the most peculiar acoustics. Though Gregor was only standing a few feet away from Rebecca and Sebastian and was staring at her intently, for some reason, he couldn't hear Sebastian call her "Ms. von Lahnstein". Moments later, he mistook Sebastian's affection for her as cheating on Lydia before being told they were siblings. Later, Miriam is standing just a couple yards away but was unable to hear Gregor say "You're gay" to Christian, yet she clearly heard him say "Rebecca's ripe for the plucking".

Rebecca, for now my take on her is that I really like her (though her wild green eyeshadow is starting to freak me out considering she wears it during the day and even when she visits her ersatz-dad at the hospital). But so far it seems like she and Gregor don't really have much chemistry. They are both fun, lively, likable characters, but so far a special spark is missing that would take them the above average. But who knows, that might still come in the future.
I have to say, I was really impressed by the setting of the scene in the lake scene, the lake, the music. Looked really fancy.
And Rebecca made me laugh because of the utter disdain in her voice when she said "paddle boat". She's capable of being a spoilt brat after all ;D
Axtually one of my favorite Rebecca scenes so far was with her ersatz-father where she blurted out with something along the lines of "Those assholes!" and he was like "Whoa, the standars of those Swiss boarding schools I sent you to must have really grown lax in the last few years".

Great epi. Thanks again to Nanna and Tihkon2  I think Rebecca is going to be able to break through to Gregor's cold, cold heart. I think he's used to women who are enthralled with his looks and she, though clearly appreciative, isn't going to settle for that kind of role. It's cool to see O & C just being normal together, just in a non-dramatic scenario for a change. I like, I like. The writers deserve great praise for how they skillfully integrate their presence into the other stories without detracting from these stories, giving each plot it's due. Nicely done. I almost get the impression O & C were 'addons' that fit in nicely---perhaps a reaction to their popularity? As for Lydia and Sebastian: ugh. How can this guy be so phony? It makes the blood to run cold. But, overall, I'd say: a really great episode. thanks so much for all your efforts. Geoff |

Funny episode, thanks to the VL Team for uploading and translating the clip!   IMO Lydia and Sebastian know everything about O&C, if the latter play with each other in front of them. And Rebecca being Seb's sister, she's gonna learn it quite soon. What about Chris teasing Gregor for his (supposedly) sexy dance? Priceless! Btw, the mutation of Chris's hair colour has begun. I know that someone like that, but I don't...  And Sebastian's beard? Wiped out. That's too bad, I found him sexier with it. Gregor is getting hotter and hotter, no wonder that Rebecca noticed his beautiful ass...  But he's too self-confident, so I hope that the swim in the lake will really help him cool down a bit! Should I assume that this lake and the one with the famous cabin are the same? ;D Nice episode, ok, but next time more Olli, please!  |

Most likely it;s The Cabin and The Lake. In preview for today they showed Katja, Matthias and Sebastian before what looked like that cabin. We'll see today how it fits together.

My snipped comments from General Discussion: "Holding off on today's episode for now until I can see it with English attached, but yesterday's was awesome. I can't decide which was better: Christian's geeky imitation of Gregor's dance moves (I love him) or upside-down Olli (...you know, as time goes on, I think I may love him even more!). Definite honourable mention for Miriam's bitchface at the "ripe for plucking" comments though, with bonus points for use of the magic acoustics." And in relation to stuff above: On further watching, Miriam spends most of that scene moving around the background delivering drinks; it's entirely possible that she only stepped behind the counter just as Gregor was being pig-like, so it's quite possible she didn't hear (particularly since Gregor said that bit more quietly). And I think Christian's glance to the left when Gregor says "you don't count" confirms that he doesn't want her to know yet, since it looks like he's checking to see if she's near enough to hear. Or I'm reading too much into it. One or the other And I've asked before, but today's episode basically answers it for me - Lydia has to know. I mean, c'mon - unless Olli is sneaking into Christian's room late every night and out early every morning and they're incredibly quiet, she'd pick up on something there, and...I mean...they're using pet names for each other and having splash fights with the dishes! Rebecca might not have picked up on it from the 30 seconds she spent with them, but I can't accept Lydia and Sebastian not knowing by now. To paraphrase what I said over on AE: I sincerely hope that when Gregor asked for Christian and Olli's help, the plan was all his. Because I can just about see Christian letting him try this clearly doomed endeavour, but I'd hope that Olli had more sense than to use kidnapping as a tactic to make the girl fall for him. Rebecca may be slightly spoiled (not apologising to Gregor in the first scene starts her on low points with me) but fair play to her for lashing him in the water at the end. |

I'm glad you've commented about that, because she's in negative points with me for that, and for considering herself so beautiful.  But I have to admit to not watching the end of this clip with the subtitles, because I'm just not interested in what she and Gregor get up to. I like seeing Christian and Olli interact with the others on the show, but I have a mental block when it comes to Rebecca at the moment. |

I don't know, Christian and Olli seem to be sizing her up as a prospect for a new f*g hag since Judith now seems to be occupied with Fabian. Upside-down Olli was quite charming with his promise of himself and "my poor Chrissie" as swimsuit models (just a hint Rebecca: think Brazilian thongs....).

I'm slow with these since I'm away from home, but the scene with Olli and Christian in the kitchen was really cute. The upside-down thing particularly tickled me, especially when Olli turned his head. *sigh* Gregor's catwalk thing was over-the-top funny. And Christian's imitation was just on target. But Gregor in the boat was moving into much too creepy. Especially when he kind of broke his deception. I don't think that was a good move, actually.
Now, on to watching today's episode.

I'm glad you've commented about that, because she's in negative points with me for that, and for considering herself so beautiful. Oh, trust me - too much time spent working in bars and customer service in general has made me incredibly self-righteous on behalf of anyone else who works those kinds of jobs. I know it's a cliché, but you really and truly can judge people by how they treat customer service staff, and Rebecca doesn't give a flying rat's ass about Gregor until he starts talking to her brother. |

Well, I must stop with the cattiness, but she didn't earn any points again in today's episode ... stripping off in front of Gregor, after being so horrified by what he did in the row boat. Perhaps I need to see the sub-titled version before I make any more comments.  |

Well, after seeing the sub-titles, I haven't changed my mind. I was going to ask "Isn't there a name for girls like her?", but since I'm not going to be catty any more, I won't ...  |

I'm with you guys, she made such a big deal out of gregor using her and now she want to act like a ... I believe we call them teases |
