The Lowdown Recap: Benders

I think Jeanne Tripplehorn’s character is the real problem. Even if Lee was clear-headed, her complicated and attractive Betty Jo would be too much for someone like him – impulsive, easily distracted, and a bit of a mess – to handle. He’s caught up in a game of wanting her to desire him back. This week’s episode, “Short on Cowboys,” centers around their wild, all-day spree, starting with Lee following Betty Jo and ultimately leading to them ending up together in Dale Washberg’s bed.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Recap: Mommies Dearest

Now that Whitney’s left, Lisa is focusing her anger on Angie and her businesses, claiming Angie only truly owns one and a half of the Lunatic Fringe locations, the rest being franchises. This leads to a debate about exactly which half Angie owns. Angie defends herself, stating she actually owns three locations and playfully retorts, “You do French fries, I do franchises.” Many people, including myself, recognize Angie’s intelligence. Mary even commented with a laugh, “That was good!” It’s especially upsetting because Angie has been a supporter of Lisa’s sons’ business, Fresh Wolf, by carrying their products in her stores.

Shows like *Dawson’s Creek* and *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* in the late 90s, and *The O.C.* and *Gossip Girl* in the 2000s, all owe a debt to *Beverly Hills 90210*.
