Here is a semi-spoiler regarding Bree this season that I came across. Am just posting the link to it, in case some people reading this thread don't want to see or know events to come.

Ooooh! That sounds JUICY!!!! What could the son possibly say or do that could be that hideous???? Let the speculation begin!

Cool, can't wait to see that happen.

He's said what he is going to have young Andrew do...

I posted it here:

if anyone wants to know more.

I think they jumped the shark when they went on that 5 week 'break' of showing new episodes when the frezny hit last season. I personally lost alot of interest in the show because I felt so jipped.... maybe they are just having a slow start but I kept predicting what was going to happen last night... and that's no fun when you 'do' want a surprize~!

Isn't this how they build suspense? I know they're not "showing" all their cards but that's how they get us all going! I'm really happy with the show so far!

I almost peed my pants at the first part with the paperboy! The old lady was so cute when she gave Susan the thumbs up! HAA HAA HAA!!

I was sure that Lynette was going to be caught. It was so funny!

And when Bree slapped her mil I was shocked, but cheering!

I just can't get over how much I enjoy this show! I'm a reality freak but Sunday is almost my favorite night now with Housewives and Grey's Anatomy!

Did anyone else get a flashback to the move Better Off Dead with the paperboy chasing John Cusak all over town yelling, "I want my two dollars?" I love that movie!!

1. I don't think Gabrielle is pregnant. I think she did a home test and either did it wrong or got a false positive. It happens! This is going to get her in trouble with Carlos since she has presented him with a fake paternity test. She won't be able to tell him she was never pregnant, so she'll have to cook something up.

2. Susan's character sucks. It's like she's trying to be Lucille Ball or something. Slapstick + stoopid silly music + overacting by Teri Hatcher is not funny. I haven't found any of her scenes as funny as they want me to. I think they're stupid and I cringed through them.

3. I also cringed when Lynette was talking to the garbage can. That was dumb.

4. I know what I'M missing this season -- Rex. I miss the tension between him and Bree. His mother doesn't fill his shoes. I do love Bree, though. She's my favourite character.

5. Like Teri Hatcher, Nicolette Sheridan is overplaying her role.

6. We haven't seen much of the extended cast yet (Paul, Rex, Zach, the twins, Bree's kids, even Carlos, etc.) and not NEARLY enough of Mike, except when Susan is drooling and crying and whining.

7. The Bree storyline is moving WAY too slowly. It seems like they're going to drag this out.

8. I really like the character of Betty. I think that Alfre Woodard has that creepy neighbour look down pat, without overacting like some of the others do.

I was a big fan last season, but this show has to be really careful about getting too silly for it's own good. Poking a little fun at itself is fine, but downright silly and quirky is just silly and quirky.

The world is my litterbox.

>1. I don't think Gabrielle
>is pregnant.

Now THIS is an excellent theory. I could totally buy that. It would totally change things if she were to have a baby. I honestly think more trouble will be stirred upif she isn't prenant as Frisky pointed out: she'll have to explain herself to Carlos.

Definately puts a new spin on things....

I can totally see her screwing up the pregnancy test. Perhaps she bought an ovulation test.

She'll come up with something off the wall and Carlos will buy it.

Nutzy skeered me

Then she will have to come up with some story as to why the paternity test showed Carlos as daddy..

but she did have morning sickness. remember how she threw up in that car at the car dealership and at home as well?

Maybe she just had a touch of the flu...

After watching some of the commentaries on the DVD, I have a new appreciation for Susan (well, for Teri Hatcher's ability as an actress, actually). It's made watching her, particularly in the second episode, far more bearable for me.

I love, love, love that Carl seems like he will be around more. I don't remember the actor's name, but listening to them explain how he (maybe Richard something? Bergi? Something like that) gets all fidgety and twitchy when he starts playing Carl is funny, and I like all the quirkiness of him. He's a fine actor, and I think he will add a lot to the cast.

I don't miss Rex. He and Bree were evil to one another and I cannot sit through another season of them at each other's throats. Once was enough. I know some of what's in store for her (I posted it in the DVD thread) and I think there is some great storylines on the books for her that will be super interesting. I am not as interested in Lynette's story (I really dislike the workplace set they use for her) but I haven't seen much of it, so we'll see. I am more interested in Tom's story, and how he assimilates into the women's group.

Also, didn't Tom worry over Lynette finding out some "secret" that would make her so mad, she would leave him in season one? That was never resolved, so I think we might see some of that this season, too.

The Applewhites teases aren't enough to fully interest me in their story yet, but I am enjoying them. I think they didn't a better job creating mystery and interest with the Paul and Zach Young story line in the first episode of the first season.

I have a question, because I can't remember. I thought that at the end of last season, when Betty moved in, that she had a man with her that I thought was her husband. I can even picture him in my head. Am I nuts? (Well, yes I am, but about this...)

I think it was just her son because he came out of the house and shut the door when Edie was there. I never saw anyone else.

That's so odd, I think my mind made up an older man, definitely not her son. They were moving in. Unless it was on the fake Desperate Housewives episode that was on Oprah...maybe that was it. I am sure you are right, because storywise, that would not make sense.

If you find my mind anywhere, since I seem to have lost it, please email it to me. It will be hard to spot, as it is very, very tiny. I would so appreciate it.
