Change of Heart

I've just finished watching like three back to back episodes of The Hills and last week I saw a recent episode of Bad Girls Club. I must say I've had a change of heart on both counts.

Let's start with the Hills.
The Audrina, LO, Lauren situation seems like just a big fat misunderstanding. After reviewing the last few episodes (like the junkie that I am), I noticed that when Justin Bobby and Audrina become friendly again, Lauren and Lo were playfully concerned. As any friend would be. They joked around about whether or not his manners had improved (and his behavior seems to have improved... dramatically.) Here's where it gets sticky: Audrina (because she loves him) is more forgiving and hopeful about Justin's potential. The girls (Lo and Lauren) have seen first hand how, let's say, un-boyfriendly Justin behavior in the past. They are less inclined to believe he has changed. Learned this lesson the hard way myself. Thank God it wasn't televised. :o)

This causes Audrina to feel uncomfortable about bringing Justin around. And Lo and Lauren are not looking forward to a fourth roommate. Insert tension because now the girls can't talk about guys and relationships. Yes, I know the situation well. Been there, done that.

On top of that, Lo and Lauren have an established twelve year old friendship, and Audrina feels a little left out. Now, here is where that episode of Lo appearing inconsiderate comes in and plants itself on an already mounting pile of tension.

Audrina talks to Justin about her discomfort, and he suggests she move out. Here's where I get concerned. Audrina's potential loft, although adorable, is far removed. I hope she doesn't isolate herself completely from Lauren.

But whatever, live, learn, grow. One day they will be able to get past this bump. However, I did want to say that the situation appears to be a miscommunication, and not Lo wanting her best friend back (she had her all along). In that episode, I guess Lo wasn't really into watching bands record music, which isn't a crime. It's just sad that she hurt Audrina's feelings in the process.

And Bad Girls Club...
Cordelia grew!! I am so proud of her. Recap: Hannah started an argument with some girls at the club. Neveen laughed. Tanisha tried to stop the girls from getting rowdy. Something happened, and then Darlene lunged on the girl. Huge fight. Cops called. Tanisha goes to jail. Wait a minute, wasn't Tanisha trying to stop the fight? Yep, she was.

Anywho, enough about the fight. Tanisha was in jail for like two days. And Cordelia stepped up and made phone calls to solicit bail money. She visited Tanisha in jail. She helped take care of details that could only be handled from the outside. And it was just so nice to see this side of Cordelia. YAY!! There's hope.
