New Tomboy in Town: The Greekap

I have been raving about Jordan for the past several weeks.  She is pretty, nice, and can hold a conversation with one of the most awkward humans alive (Rusty) and not have an awkward pause.  But then this week, she shows up at KT, chugging beer, playing poker, and emasculating Cappie, Beaver, and the rest of the gang.  Nooo idea where that came from.  She seemed to have a pretty good handle on the whole "being a girl" thing before this episode.  Her hair always looked perfect and she managed to be the perfect girl for Jesse McCartney.  Now, she has three brothers, plays softball, and decorates her room in the drabbest of possible colors.  

Pros and cons of this week?
Prepare yourselves.  FYI, I'm aware that this is similar to the reality index, but it works for them, so why not give it a shot.  

Cons, of course, must go first, so that I have something to look foward to.  
  • As I already mentioned, the whole making Jordan a tomboy thing was kind of annoying.
  • Casey was weirdly annoying and girlie throughout the whole pledge meeting/Sir Purrsalot giveaway.  I know they were trying to contrast Jordan from the ZBZs, but it was sort of overkill. Plus, I don't like it when I have to get annoyed with Casey because I love her.
  • The Dale storyline was also totally pointless.  I don't care if he stays shut in his apartment.  What's the big deal?  It made little sense.
  • Oh, speaking of Dale, how did his telling the landlord that he is saving himself for marriage come off as a turn on?  She is older.  No way she is going to date a purity pledger.
  • Did anyone else forget that Rusty and Max were friends?  Yeah, random that they included him in Rusty's plotting.  I guess they just wanted to give him something to do this week.
  • The idea that Rusty's issue tied into Dale's.  Apparantly he has been spending so much time at the apartment because he is currently avoiding the KT house.  But he was there at the beginning of the episode, invited the brothers all over in the middle, and was back there before the end.  The episode seemed to take place over like a three day span, so tell me, when was this alleged avoidance of the house?
  • Biggest qualm of the episode was the case of the missing Rebecca Logan.  The episode seemed incomplete without her.
I think those are all of my issues.  I'm way more excited to talk about my loves.
  • I finally realized why I love it when TV shows mention Facebook and pop culture. I realized it the moment Casey called Dobler's their Peach Pit.  It makes me feel like I'm in on some sort of inside joke.  I love it when I understand little things that I never would have caught when I was younger.  Starts with the Peach Pit, goes on with Jordan's softball friends all going to Smith, "if you know what I mean."
  • Going along with those little things, Dale just got his 700th friend on Facebook. Not bad Daley.  I totally got you beat though.  Around 1,000 now?  
  • I liked the Frannie/Evan thing this week.  I don't totally understand why he is suddenly an emotional money wreck, but I'll go with it.  I liked Frannie's story about her mom's Virginia plantation.  But still, show no sympathy to the Frannie monster!  We will not have a season 1 repeat.
  • Although it was fabulous when she said her mother was beautiful, like her. And then Evan called her on it.
  • It was so cute when Ashleigh was all afraid of getting hit during dodge ball and when it happened it "wasn't that bad."
  • "It's torture to see the girl of your dreams on the arm of some other guy.
  • I know I'm forgetting some things, but I can always add them on later.
And OH who saw the preview for next week????  I actually shrieked a little.
