Filthy games.

I just love the turn of events in the Turner marriage. I find it funny how every wife/girlfriend of a football player can forgive him for his indiscretions just because he's a footballers. Tanya truly shows her fangs when she blackmails Jason. That was probably the best part of the episode, of course followed by Tanya catching the nurse abusing Frank. That was just hilarious.

I hate that Donna already forgave Ian, but I love how Ian befriended Sal, who has been feeling lonely at the club. Marie still gets on my nerves. Chardonnay was okay in this episode, nothing special. I loved the comments on Chardonnay's recent changes.moreless

Tanya's coke habit gets worse. Ian pleads with Donna that his sleeping with the prostitutes meant nothing, was a total mistake, and that he loves her very much. Donna is very angry that this highly publicized incident will probably ruin their chances of getting cutody of Daniel. Chardonnay's depression deepens. Both Tanya and Ian catch Jason and Marie together. Jason and Sal get into a fight. Tanya befriends Frank's nurse in order to keep tabs on Frank's condition.

In regards to the current episode recap:

Tanya's been shoveling coke up her hooter since the first episode of the show, so I wouldn't say she's just turned to it like the recap implies. You can tell these were written by a Brit as the grammar is horrible (just joking, just a little jab at my UK friends). Also the haircutting thing with Char happened in the previous episode, not this episode.

The whole situation with Frank's nurse and that cow Tanya is fun. The way she blackmailed Jason out of kicking her out of the house by threatening to tell the police that it was Jason who messed up Frank was great. I would have lost what little respect I do have for her if she had not have threatened that. What's gross though is that it seemed to turn Jason on, so he had sex with her afterwards and suddenly loves her again? I wonder if his feelings are genuine or just the result of being blackmailed? I don't even really care, I can't stand either of them. It'd be nice if Jason got fired, Tanya went to prison (Jason too for that matter), and everyone else lived happily ever after... but that's not gonn happen unfortunately. It'd also be nice if Kyle's mom had a stroke or a heart attack too. I really hate her.moreless
