Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Water, water, everywhere, and yet it costs a lot

At the club, there is drinking. There is dancing, there is merriment. Among other things, Ereka is at one point hanging quite pointedly all over Boyfriend Bill, which does seem to add a bit of a tinge to her later attitude. I'm not sure she wasn't trying for the symmetrical hookup to go with the Amy-Nick vibe. I mean, there's a lot of hugging, but she's got her face buried right in his neck, and it's very...well, it appears to have a definite purpose to it, if you ask me. And you know...I'm not sure what kind of "club" this is, but I think I see a cook in a paper hat behind the toasting that's going on. I really kind of don't understand where they are. It's like they're at a very bad bar at an airport or something. There are hardly any other people there. Oh, and Assorama came along, so you know it's not that much fun.
In the development of The Plot I Don't Care About, Bill teases Amy with the line, "Amy Warnock." Wow, that's...lame, Boyfriend Bill. She throws back her head and cackles anyway. Bill interviews that Nick asked him at one point whether he thought Amy really liked him, and as Bill puts it, he "fed the fire" and told him yes. He doesn't exactly say whether he really believed this or not; he just says that he "enhanced [Nick's] confidence level slightly...he's full throttle." Hee. I have to say, Boyfriend Bill is sexier talking about Nick coming on to Amy than Nick is actually doing it. Nick and Amy chat, and dance, and boogie, and wiggle. I will say that Nick is a more competent dancer than I would have anticipated. The light feet of copier salesmen -- who knew? Katrina blathers about how Nick is never this animated, and so forth. "His downfall is Amy," she says, like she's revealing a big state secret. Amy bubbles in an interview that she indeed thinks Nick has a crush on her, but she hasn't yet stopped to think about how she feels about Nick. It seems to me that if that's how she feels, she might stop with the sex eyes every five minutes until she figures it out, because that's not that nice. "Hey, Nick," she says to him. "You could have kids that look like him -- he's the spitting image of my little brother," she says, pointing to a dark-haired young man. Are we supposed to be surprised by the appearance of that guy? Were you automatically assuming Amy was a natural blonde? Because I certainly wasn't. Bill comments that everyone was kissing and dancing and having a great time, despite the fact that in a short few hours, it would be "full-on war."
