The Vampire Diaries: Elena Confronts Her Doppleganger, Katherine Is In Love, Stefan Gets Broody, Jenna Barbecues and Damon is a Dick

Finally, the evil Katherine returns to The Vampire Diaries and confronts Elena. I wish their encounter had been longer but I will take this thirty second or so conversation like Lindsay Lohan collects mug shots. Their exchange was altogether too brief though - - Elena asked why they looked alike and Katherine told her she asked the wrong question. Hmmm . . .

So in last week's episode we found out that Katherine had apparently been developing an immunity to vervaine for the last 145 years after Stefan attempted to use it against her. Not before she told him some history of werewolves and Mystic Falls (George Lockwood was a shifter and knew that Katherine was a blood sucker) and admitted that she had truly fallen in love with Stefan and had not compelled him to fall in love with her, as he suspected. She claims to have returned to Mystic Falls solely to return to Stefan.

I'm not buying this because Katherine has had 145 years to seek Stefan out and declare her undying (pun intended) love but she waits until Elena is in the picture. I'm hoping that we will find out what or who Katherine is obviously running from.

The barbecue was the best part of the episode, although apparently Jenna has zero friends other than Mason (who just returned to Mystic Falls) and Alaric (who she has really just started hanging out with). Does she not have any girlfriends? At least she was the one attendee who got tipsy.

Damon was a hoot, from his self-proclaimed "I'm a dick" to many wolf-isms being dropped in Mason's presence. Mason is not nearly as dumb as he looks and proposes a truce to Damon, acknowledging that he is aware that Damon is a vampire. Damon, being Damon, keeps the truce for about five minutes before he stabs Mason with a silver knife. Mason just as quickly pulls the knife out and discounts the tale that silver will kill a werewolf.

Mason also disclosed to Tyler that the werewolf curse is triggered by killing someone . . .

Slick move, Vampire Diaries. Now I'm curious to know what, if anything, will kill werewolves. And who Mason killed to become a werewolf . . .

Lisa Cuddy: The Most Unprofessional Administrator of All Time

"When you bend over, I can see your IUD." Gregory House, M.D. Let me begin by saying I love House. I love Hugh Laurie. I love Wilson. I love Robert Sean Leonard. I don't, however, love Lisa Cuddy. I'm not sure where to begin but I know where it will always end up. Her fricking attire. Cuddy is supposed to be the administrator of a huge, well-respected hospital in Princeton, New Jersey. And yet she dresses in too tight skirts with too tight and too low cut blouses and sweaters like she's auditioning for a Hot for Teacher video. If I walked into a hospital and saw someone dressed like that I would assume either a) she's a stripper who suffered a slip and fall from the pole at work, b) she's an "enterprising" legal assistant/paralegal who is sleeping with her boss who is representing said stripper over the said slip and fall or c) she's a hospital receptionist who is looking to bag a wealthy doctor. Okay, maybe a bit extreme

Meet Melissa, the Queen Bridezilla

The lovely Melissa Photo Source: WETV.com So I was channel surfing last night and ended up having a good two (okay, maybe three) hours of my life drained by WE's bridal bitchfest Bridezillas . I realize the point of the show is to showcase what out of control hags some women are when planning their weddings but Miss Melissa really takes the cake. First, she claims to be 23 and I always find it interesting that most of these chicks look older than they claim to be. I'd like to see a birth certificate before I agree to that. She also claims to be in medical school, which is really funny considering (1) Melissa seems to have an awful lot of free time on her hands, to bitch, whine, complain and threaten to kill people and (2) for someone who claims to want a career saving lives, she sure talks about taking a lot of them. (Case in point: Melissa, concerned that she won't be happy with her wedding cake, tells the camera that if the baker screws it up, she will kill h

Bitch, Please: Toddlers & Tiaras

Okay, so I watched Toddlers & Tiaras this week. Had heard about it, heard in the past that it was a pedophile's dream show, how they exploited kids, blah, blah, blah. I was channel surfing and there was nothing else on so I stopped. And watched. Stunned. Do parents like these really exist? WTF is wrong with them? And how on earth does a 2 month old baby win a pageant? The least amount of drool? Best pacifier? Carried the best by parent? I'm confused. But I digress. Apparently the format is that each episode follows several kids and their severely in need of therapy parental units as they prepare for and then compete in some type of child's beauty pageant, with the end of the show being the crowning of the winners. This episode of T&T begins with the unforunately named Brystol of Lexington, South Carolina who is 18 months old and has supposedly won top prize in every pageant she has competed in. Before you snort and wonder how many pageants she
