A DEFINITE "Comedy Series" contender. I'm loving the writing for Wilhemina this season, less caricature, more humanity. America Ferrera was also awesome tonight, as was Becki Newton. I'm so happy that Henry, Gio, and Alexis are gone.

I absolutely agree MTS!

Wilhemina, Amanda, and Marc were cartoons last season and I am so frigging happy that they have succeeded in humanizing them while allowing them to keep their comedic edge. Bravo to the writers!!

I love this unspoken respect between Betty and Willy.

Forgot to add I LOVED the music last week.

This is the song playing during the final scene with Willy and Betty, which was just flawless IMO.



Then the one when Amanda moves in

It just keeps getting better and better. I loved Willy's line to Claire, "Claire, I'm going hunting later on. Feel free to stand in front of my gun." LMAO.

Excellent show tonight!

Please for the love of Prada, give Willie a real love interest in Connor, those two just ooze chemistry.

This little mini story with Justin and his jock frienemy (who is obviously confused) has great potential as a coming out story.

Totally agree, Betty is currently having its best season yet...

What an amazing episode. The only thing I wish is that Betty wouldn't always be so noble, I like to see her lose sometimes. Oh and Michael Urie is quickly becoming my favourite on this show. This season has totally benefited his character. He was sensational in these past episodes. Right now this cast is just BRILLIANT. I knew once Betty returned to its core thing would get better. Very profound episode, and Urie, Ferrera, and Series could make a nice threat. Only downside is less comedy, so they're probably better going with something funnier for Drama Series anyways.

Tonight's episode was great.

I actually had a OMG moment during the last 5 minutes. I didn't read any spoilers and was completely shocked. I won't spoil in case some haven't watched it yet.

I haven't really enjoyed the past couple of episodes as much as I did the 1st half of the season.....

I didn't watch tonight's episode as I wasn't interested in watching the whole "cook off" thing.

If anyone did watch I'm wondering if I missed anything important.

I've missed the last 3 weeks now - I totally lost immediate interest in Ugly Betty this season - its just changed in a bad way to me.

I'll try to catch up online sometime when I have more time I guess.

The show is called Ugly Better and Betty is the person that's driving me crazy so much that I don't want to watch..... ^o)

The cook-off was a pretty decent episode. I just wish things would stop ending so sugar sweet for the Suarez family.

IA that Betty can be a pain, because the writers refuse to let the character develop. Another thing, I hate to sound conceited but why do all these cute guys keep falling for Betty? Yes, I know about inner beauty but this is a bit farfetch for me.

I did catch a glimpse of tonight's episode and it did look good, but I decided to watch Survivor instead. I'll watch it later.

ITA!

It's like they won't let her mature or evolve at all!

I don't want her to have an extreme makeover or anything, but maybe get the braces removed and an updated do.

I agree about the braces, she can have a retainer, which would be awkward when she decides to stay overnight with a guy. If the guy she is dating now was more socially inept, it would be less of a stretch that they would be dating.

Maybe this show does need a break......

I don't know if I'm just over this show or if it's just lacking the pizazz it once had.....

It's still so frustrating that they don't let Betty progress in terms of looks at all, I mean she works for a fashion magazine for crying out loud. My Mom was even complaining tonight about Betty still having her braces.
