This season has been terrible. The idea of her live blogging her fictional fantasies as her entire school reads along was ridiculous. The show has become a parody, and it blows.
This episode had potential but they ended up just wasting it by making Jenna morph into a monster and a girl who would fake a pregnancy to keep a boy. Ugh.
I really enjoyed the episode, as it was a much needed breather from all the craziness that has been happening this season. The AU universes were really well done and will, I'm more than sure, create dozens and dozens of fanfics inspired by all of them and they each personally charmed me into wanting spinoffs, or even just full stand alone episodes, of each of them after what we saw. I'm also relieved that Nikki's hint for the season about Jenna possibly acting more like Lacey was used in this instance instead of in a long term/real way
But what was the most interesting is that even in these different incarnations, Jenna was still Jenna and responding to the world she found herself in as we've grown to expect of her. I can't say that I'm unhappy that she chose her instincts as she had originally but if given the choice, I definitely wouldn't mind seeing the guys as a couple ;3
Overall a fun episode with some surprising insight for what was to largely be just good fun. Also, MAJOR props to Tamara's Missy Elliot ref in AU verse 2 & the light hearted poke at Twilight that was so well done for the first fantasy.

Poor Jenna looked hideous when they made her into a mean girl.
I really hope the girl who plays Sadie actually makes those weird head movements when talking irl. They make my life.
My friend said she hangs out with some known coke fiends (could have been messing w/ me idk lol).
TEAM MATTY
I think it will be Matty. or someone else. They spent last night making Jake look worse and Matty look good.
But who knows if it's another fantasy.
The only reference I got was Twilight. I've never watched Secret Life. *shrug*

I think she's better off without either of them, too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PICK NEITHER.
ONTD as a whole, LBR -
