Oh god, seriously had to watch some of this peeking through my fingers 'cos I couldn't bear to watch the awfulness What are they doing to Christian? He may have his faults, but he's never been creepy - why oh why make him act like such a dick? He's been a sweetheart lately and made a huge effort to get past the whole jealousy+Olli not trusting him thing. Plus, this whole Olli/naive, Christian/jealous SL is getting SO repetitive at this stage! I didn't even have the consolation of Christian's hotness to lessen the embarassment of his behaviour. The hair/shirt combo just didn't work for me, bit of a sleazy look....with the raw materials they have at their disposal, how can the VL styling people sometimes get it so badly wrong???

I know, it is quite an achievement to make Thore look creepy when he is hotness on legs. And even his legs are nice, so really he is just hotness. But alas, today we got creepy grease-monger Christian....Although it was only the hair I had a problem with, the shirt I can work with

Christian was super sleazy today.... But I still love him. IT's so wrong taht it's right. Olli's sad put made me sad too though....
I agree that Christian is a bit OOC lately. But the scenes today kind of reminded me of the club scene in 03/04.04.08.... But the kinds of desperate Christian was then and today is different.

LOL There's no accounting for taste, the blond babe in the bar seemed pretty keen on the slicked back look too I know, it is quite an achievement to make Thore look creepy when he is hotness on legs. And even his legs are nice, so really he is just hotness. But alas, today we got creepy grease-monger Christian....Although it was only the hair I had a problem with, the shirt I can work with To be fair, the shirt would probably be workable with minus the lounge lizard 'do

I'm definitely going to just block out the end of this episode. I stopped it right before Christian kissed Rebecca because I just couldn't watch that again. I'll probably skip the beginning of the next episode, too. I am aware that it happened, but I want to preserve my positive opinion of Christian...

Side note: Christian has the sexiest lips ever. Not too thin or full... slightly pouty. So hot. ;D

I loved the whole "I am gonna go pick up a guy" line from Christian..... He is so straight-acting that I love when the gay shines through.

Christian shouldn't be allowed to drink. Every time he drinks a bit, he ends up kissing a woman. WTF? As I've said before, Chris has always been my favourite, specially because of his somewhat dark side, but enough is enough. Olli's sad looks just broke my heart. I hope Chris makes it up to him. Hear that, so-called writers??

There's sadly a variation on that Christian/Rebecca kiss promo pic 'available'...

I like your take on reality...we can be aware that this episode happened but move forward by totally disregarding it and concentrating on important things...like the perfect poutiness of Christian's lips ;D

I'm very disappointed in Chrissie today, mostly because his actions intentionally undermine Olli's confidence in their relationship in a very foundational way. Every time shit flies Christian turns to women. It's one thing when couples struggle to fix problems like conflicting goals (which is serious enough). It's quite another when their sexual orientation comes into question. Not sure why the writers are playing this card. They have enough on their plates without dealing with this, but I hope the writers do deal with it at some point.

They have enough on their plates without dealing with this, but I hope the writers do deal with it at some point. Rosebud, I think the writer's and their problems are what we are witnessing here . . . To give them credit, I didn't get any sense of enjoyment on Christian's part. He blatently harassed Rebecca (who deserves mucy sympathy today) but he was not in it for the sexual high. He just new that going after women bothered Olli, and he wanted to hurt Olli. This seemed very clear to me. And, as much as I don't like it, the writers do seem to want to be reviving Olli's character. He's not such a dimwit as we have thought: he knows Rob is not to be trusted sexually, and he plays Rob very well. Since the kiss, he hasn't given even a hint of attraction to Rob. Olli has regained what Christian seems to have lost. But, really, I think that all this should have been and could have been better written . . . In any case, even if they are both jerks, it is very clear that they LOVE each other. Today is all about how stupid people (even Christian) can act when they are in love. Sorry if I have just repeated what others have said!

Surprisingly, I found this a very entertaining episode. It totally reminded me of many situations that happened in university (not necessarily personally) but the silly drama and doing stupid things when you're drunk and clueless. Kinda tells you where the story is at in terms of Christian and Olli's relationship though . Wow, I even feel sorry for Rebecca. And um, the blonde was totally checking out Christian before he approached her. And really, if someone as hot as Christian came up to me in a bar...well...let's just say I wouldn't exactly push him away Minus the skeezy hair and down to the nipple open collar. ROFL.

*gets out a big paddle stolen from a college fraternity (no, JMM was not in frat... well, maybe 2 or 3 )* Mr. Mann. COME. HERE.First of all, why the hell did you decide to go to the party? Telling Olli that you can't have a good time with Rob around was honest and mature AND it demonstrated a little self-awareness. Secondly, ...okay, let's say you felt a little slighted by Olli at the party and let's say that it's maybe not altogether outlandish to act out in a way that might give Olli a little taste of green, groping and nuzzling that blonde was not only disrespectful to her (no matter how much she seemed to enjoy it), but also, it was totally over the line. After we're done here, we'll have a short lesson on ways to get a rise out of someone without making yourself look like a complete ass. Thirdly, even if you do cross the line, you don't go and just throw it in your guy's face. You let him bring it up and then you act a little surprised and say "There is no reason for you to be jealous." Christ! Have you learned NOTHING from Olli? Lastly, for now, this was totally unnecessary. Dumb and wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Now, grab your ankles, bub.

^ oh, it's the booze, so the booze. I guess he figured he gave in to Olli, since he didn't really want to be there in the first place, but at Olli's insistence he came to the party anyways. Then he felt ignored, and had Rob in his face again flirting with Olli in front of him, and retaliated. In a sane moment, you would not do such dumb things,but get the booze going and many many stupid things happen. Jealousy and booze do NOT mix at all. At least they had Christian DRUNK when he did this, as some way of justification, just not a very good one. Again, the random kissing of people is pretty tedious-if you're really going to do show the divide between them and throw their characterization off the deep end then why not take it further and have them go full out? Stop with the stupid kissing already.

Nanna's subbed vid for today... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk5iftwArYoCaps coming 'soon', btw...Sorry for the long delay...As well as the Mediathek costing me a lot of time by acting like a very annoying 11-year-old who LOVES to skip and jump A LOT, let's just say that the mystery of the 'repeating cap' has snowballed into a "capper's nightmare" of rather mammoth proportions! O...M....G....
