Degrassi: Come as you are

Well, I would’ve posted this a lot sooner but the Direct TV/Viacom feud took away Teennick, so I wasn’t able to watch the episodes online. But, now that it’s back I am free to blog away.

Katie vs. Drew and Bianca

I first want to start off with one simple question; what is it about Bianca that gets Drew going? I know, she’s hot and had that bad ass personality, which only added more to the hotness. But, I just don’t see what Drew sees.

I was so conflicted when it came down to Team Katie or Team Bianca. Both girls really love Drew but only one of them (in my opinion) is right for him. Can you guess who? That’s right, Katie! Katie saw Drew at his worst and didn’t leave. Katie saved Drew when he was drowning, she was his lifeboat, and he repays her by dropping her the minute Bianca comes back in the picture. That’s not right.

It’s not fair for Katie to save him when he was in need of being rescued. But, Katie was in a rough patch and he couldn’t even try to save her. It boggles my mind a little bit.

But, then I remember how much Bianca had to sacrifice to keep Drew safe. It showed me (I’m not sure about anybody else) how much Drew meant to her. A person that’s willing to sacrifice their own happiness for your life is worth keeping.

This whole entire scenario was crazy; Bianca pushing Drew to break up with Katie, Drew taking the chicken route by making up a fake girl, Katie crashing the party, Drew and Katie losing their virginities to each other, and so on. My head was hurting by the end of the episode.

At first when Katie showed up at his party and Drew told her to go upstairs, I knew something was going to down. I thought that Katie would remind Drew of how she saved him, and Drew would go back to her. I thought this was going to be another Craig, Manny and Ashley. But, I was surprised it didn’t end that way.

Drew taking away Katie’s virginity! Oh my Degrassi (OMD)! That’s just low. The most terrible part of it all was he didn’t even remember it. OMD! I honestly have to say, I felt so bad for Katie. I don’t think I ever seen someone so hurt. Katie was having the worst of luck. When Drew had asked her to keep it a secret, and not tell anybody, my mouth fell open. That made her sound like some dirty mistress or something.

At that moment, I had a fleeting thought; Katie should so tell Bianca that would be so sweet.

Maya vs. Her Body

Dallas is a prick for calling Maya flat and instilling doubt in her body. But, I have to say it was hilarious when Maya got one of those silicone rubber breast pads, and it fell out while she was in the middle of performing. But, maybe that needed to happen so she could finally see that having a hot body isn’t really everything.

I was so happy when Mo approached her and said, “We need you in this band.” Maya finally realized how musically talented she is.

The most important lesson to learn from all this is: when it comes down to a battle between talent and looks, talent will most likely win.

Congrats to Maya!!

The Return of Eli and Clare!

I am so happy Eli and Clare are officially back in Degrassi’s Pool of Love. (I just thought I should get that off my chest.)

So, at first I thought Eli was a being a bit standoffish because he was over Clare. I mean, he was trying to get her back in every way possible, even though it was clearly in the wrong ways. But, Clare wouldn’t budge. She was too busy getting it on and off with Jake. (Thank God that’s over – it was a total snoozer).

The scene between Eli and Clare in the party gave me goosebumps, when he said, “You knew I was leaving, there were twinkly lights; it was easy. I wanna know it wasn’t just some fleeting moment because there won’t always be twinkly lights. And if we’re gonna do this, you need to be all in.” Awww. And Clare said, “Eli, I am all in.”

I think Eli and Clare are starting off good; he isn’t crashing his car or burning his play on stage. He was so chill when Clare had to reschedule their date. So, I have high hopes for these two.

 

So, if I was giving grades I would give this overall episode of Degrassi an A+.   

Degrassi Pajamas

The Women’s Light Pajamas I designed on CafePress.com.

Hey Degrassi fans! I made these really cool “I heart Degrassi” pajamas. Here’s this link, if you want to buy it. It can sort of feel like Degrassi’s with you when you’re sleeping.

Degrassi Showdown Promo!

Here’s the promo! Once you watch it, it’s hard to stop!

Degrassi Showdown

 

I haven’t posted in the longest.You would’ve thought I had fallen off the face of the Earth. But, I haven’t. I’m still here. I’ve been a little too busy lately. But, it’s summer and you know what that means. It’s Degassi time!

I have been watching this promo on a loop. I love it. It’s by far the best promo Degrassi ever had. This is making anxious, I’m literally counting the days until the new season.

My favorite part of this video is the one with Maya and the hockey player. Even though this storyline has been around for centuries, it still gets to me. Two people from different worlds can’t be together. Not to mention the non popular gets the attractive boy’s attention. What I love most about this scene is the lighting and the softness of the music. It kind of gave me goosebumps.

What I don’t want to happen is Eli going out with that girl. I’m Team EClare (always have been and always will be). I’ve been waiting ages for Eli and Clare to get together, and nobody’s taking that away from me.

Katie vs. Bianca and Drew!

 First off, what is up with Katie’s hair? It just makes her look like another Bianca, but a physcho version of Bianca. I’m not sure if I’m Team Bianca or Team Katie. Bianca has made improvements in herself and Katie has always beenthe good girl till she gone bad. So, I don’t know whose better for Drew Torres here.

This promo was very breif, very simple and straight to the point. I hope “Degrassi Showdown” is as good as this promo is making it to be.

Top Degrassi Friendships

Degrassi has had many friendships, and only a few have had that great chemistry, and that important definition of friendship, that definition that separates friends from family.

1.Emma and Manny

 

No other characters has had great chemistry like Emma and Manny. They may have had their arguments where hurtful things were said to each other but, that can’t compete with the other times where they had each other backs. They have plenty of history in their list of what makes a good friend.

2. Alli and Clare

Second greatest friendship in the show, some people may not approve of their friendship. They may be two different people, and some may agree that Alli is poison but Alli makes a great edition to Clare’s life and Clare makes a great edition to Alli’s life. They help each other in time of need, well mostly Clare, and have never have that backstabbing moment that every friendship eventually deals with.

3. Spinner and Jimmy

Boys will always be boys even after one was responsible for losing your ability to walk. Jimmy and Spinner, in its prime, have that type of relationship where one’s always bagging on the other and there’s more play fights than there are bonding. But, towards the end, the relationship matures especially when Jimmy forgives Spinner. Jimmy and Spinner showed us that a friendship can survive anything; even a shooting, one being paralyzed, and even cancer in the balls.

4. Marco and Ellie

They were an amateur version of Will and Grace. They gay stud goes out the pretty young teen but eventually turns out to be gay and they end up becoming one of the bestest friends. Ellie could turn to Marco in time of need. Marco is the chill dude that every friend can talk to and end up feeling better.
