I had a huge crush on all of James Spader's douchey characters in the 80's, particulary Steff, I am ashamed to admit. Steff is PC's suburban doppelganger!

Jessi and PC are the worst couple in the world. He needs to come out of the closet and have proud gay sex, and then maybe he'll cheer up. IT's like, embarassing that he's pretending to be straight at this point.

I think you're on to something -- because didn't he get a litte defensive when his friend used the word "homo"? (I assume it was "homo" anyway).

It's not in my place to judge what makes a person gay or straight, but he just gives off that certain vibe...

I don't know how to rationalize the fact that I spend time and money ($1.99 per episode) watching the fabricated social lives of 15 year olds. The sense of entitlement is layered so thickly, that I don't even care that they are hideously shallow, self-absorbed mini-adults.

Wait, Iflit! You are PAYING for this show???? Can't you watch it online for free or something? That might just push me over the edge if I had to PAY to watch Sebastian flip his hair around...

flitty-they are indeed giving a bad name to the entitled!

Why do I not remember James Spader in Pretty in Pink?

I think his creepiest character was in the Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhall. But he was pretty creepy in Less Than Zero too.

He was Andrew McCarthy's mean BFF? Who secretly liked Molly Ringwald? He had the house party and the b*tchy girlfriend?

One of the scariest things for me is that, given how scripted and fabricated the show is, through the contrived situations the producers set up, the editing and all of the obvious mugging for the cameras and attempts to be provocative (for lack of a better word), Maite managed to like, um, ya know, OMG, pretty much come off just as she is in real life.

Stockard, do you remember Spader in Sex Lies and Videotape? That was the first time I had seen him. I thought he was a little creepy but extremely hot back then. No so much now.

There are some bonus clips on Bravo's website.

I like that Kelli mentioned her H&M jewelry!

Also, did anyone else find Kat annoying? I'm not surprised, given her friends, but still...yuck!

I still think Spader is an attractive guy. And I LOVED him in The Secretary! Maggie Gyllenhaal should have been nominated for an Academy Award.

"...Maite managed to like, um, ya know, OMG, pretty much come off just as she is in real life."

Do you know her, IAMWHATIAM?

Yes, PM, she growled when she said that! bitch!
I don't what it is with Jessi but the way she talks sometimes...it's a bit overdramatized. But I'm glad I wasn'tthe only one who noticed the growling. LOL! And Maite ... what was going on with that girl? She had a weird way of speaking too. If that;s the way she is in real life, well, more power to her for being herself on camera, I guess. :P

As if I could love this thread any more, now we're talking about James Spader? So incredibly sexy.

[StockardFan]

I guess I sort of remember Spader in Pretty In Pink. That was not one of my favorite 80's movies. Much eclipsed by The Breakfast Club, 16 Candles and St. Elmo's Fire.

So I started watching this last night but haven't finished it yet. Camille's friend = fugly.

P.C. would have had a field day with Maite. It looks as if she has no filter, so it would have been great to see their interaction.

Maite is Camille's ugly friend?

[danmag]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 8:14am

Yes! With the very weird mouth!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 8:18am

What the hell kind of name is Maite anyway? Is that some weird Irish name?

[misschung]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 8:46am

I'm curious to hear about what happened after Camille's awkward dinner date. If she detested that guy so much, did they really hook up? I hope not...

[Jane2]

Maite sounds like an old girlfriend of Prince's name.

[blueroses]

Posted: 7/16/09 at 9:30am

In my head, I pronounce it "Matey." Ahoy, Maite!

Bring her back. She's much more fun to watch than Jessie's friend Zoe, who acts like she has to pop ten Xanax before she can function.

[IAMWHATIAM]

blueroses, yes, I've known Maite (pronounced my tay, accent on the tay) for many years. How she ended up sounding just like one of the cast of Valley Girl (one of my all time favorite movies, by the way) is beyond me, since it's 2009 (not 1980 something), she's lived in NYC her entire life, and I'm sure that no one else she knows really sounds like that. She's a pretty good kid, although she's turned into a bit of a caricature of herself.

And count me in on the James Spader love. I think The Secretary is certainly among my favorite of his performances.

A Mai Tai in honor of Maite. Cheers!

Saw this eppie last night...and I effin' LOVE that Matey girl!! What a character!

The coming attractions seemed to be showing a PC "I'm Gay" breakthrough...posing with other men, therpist's office...we'll see.

The therapist with the practice in The Russian Tea Room? (TM someone on this board...orangeskittles, I think) All she does is nod at P.C. and feed his ego. I doubt she'll really ever call him out on anything.
