  • Adele, not getting Niki for Jenny, inside at Niki's premiere, then telling Niki to kiss that guy! What a B*tch!! I despise Adele!! I love Niki & Jenny! They're so good together! And that B*tch Adele better not ruin it!!
  • Nikki's Agent
  • The way Jodi talked to Bette without giving any weight to her feeling.
  • Molly kissing Shane even though Shane said she didn't want to sleep with her, because she knew it would freak Molly out. And then asking Shane to take her home, even though she was the one who started kissing Shane first! Ugh.

My question is when will Jenny notice that Adele is worse than her, i think she is trying to steal jenny's job and destroy her friendships. That or she's a Drama Hound either are bad.

Yes, yes, yes, they are back together. They are soo much in love, and now Tasha gave it up for Alice, and I hope they last. Love the scene when Tasha grabs Alice and just starts kissing her on the base.
Yeah!
