Hardly. Lynne and Alex are like the rash that just won't go away. At first it's just a harmless itch and the scratching is strangely pleasant. But soon it gets more enflamed and you're ready to cut off your arm just to be rid of it. Sure, I can jump on board with everyone else and say I'm SO over Romber and the "win at all costs" attitude. Editing aside, ignoring the wreck without somuch as a window roll-down or even saying, "I hope they're all right." The crack about Meredith pushing Gretchen down was really low, too. Great t.v., bad for the space-time continuum as they continue to upset the balance of the earth with evil.
BUT...I really have to say I'm totally over Lynn and Alex. I usually root for the gays and the oldsters (I'm in the former group now and will eventually be in the latter, so I have to have some empathy--there but for the grace of god go I...). But GIMME A BREAK! I thought Reichen and Chip were awesome (and cute) and of course Team Guido rocked. But mincing and flailing aside (and tired, stereotypical bit**y quotes that aren't even funny) their racist, insensitive comments were really over the top. They come from West Hollywood, which isn't really too far from Compton (geographically, anyway). It makes me think of the scene in Hairspray when Penny Pingleton's mother is dropped off in the "colored" part of Baltimore and she clings to her purse, screaming and cowering (sorry for those of you who haven't seen it, but you really must). They really need to get a better sense of social conscience--how ironic for them. What an embarrassment! Go back to the safety of Maxfield and Hamburger Mary's and leave the rest of the world to others.
On the OTHER hand--what a great job Gretchen and Meredith did (even though luck had a lot to do with it). When I think about Marshall and Lance (and the whining about the knee and quitting) and Hayden's whining about her sore fingers, what an awesome thing to see Gretchen pushing on. Don't know how long they'll hold out, but more power to them!
