  • It SUCKED and it was confusing, but somehow it reminded me of the (good ol') general background of season 2.

    The episode started and I couldn't understand anything. They were going to fast and it was all confusing. They kept on taking everything for granted...leaving the audience in a maze.
    Two things worthy of this episode: Lexie stealing everything. I don't condome stealing, but in this case Lexie's situation was tender and funny. Then, the fact that Meredith decided to take on therapy was great, and a sign of wanting a change.

    The rest... ouch.
    I don't condome experiments on humans! Patients in this episode were like lab rats, one being given any test existing on the planet, for what? A couple of points? Is that more important than a patient's welfare? Then you have the other case, in wich Mer says "tumor!" as if she had won the lottery.
    We are all animals, but in this episode they forgot about the humanity. Our interests should not harm the rest; this episode teached us the exact opposite.moreless

    this episode started off really funny. with merideth christina and izzie running around amuck for the cntest they are having. they have been in the hospital non stop for days and will do anyhting to win. they fight over patients to win points. izzie takes this guy who fainted and tries to solve this medical mystery, but ends up putting him through hell for nothing. which may i add was a pretty funny scene. christina gives up winning the contest to help hahn in surgery, which was a bold move. derek and rose are dating, but GASP, they arent having sex. and sloane doesnt like it. and meredith wont even go near derek. and finally lexie does some decorating, with hospital supplies, that whole scenario was so funny. and in the end it looked really good. overall, this was a really good episode.moreless

    Izzie: She gets a patient who has a sprained ankle, sounds like a sprained ankle right? Well, Izzie sees, medical mystery and it causes this man a whole lot of money on medical tests and worst of all, fear. Competition can do a lot to people can't it? Izzie was entertaining in this episode mainly because she wasn't whining a lot.

    Christina: She continues to make sacrifices so that she can get more involved with Dr. Hahn and cardio. It may have caused her a lot of problems, but she's starting to gain from giving up. Christina is great, I have always loved Christina, but I think this episode failed to portray her very well, it showed her, but it was lacking.

    Meredith: She's still copping over the fact that Derek is seeing Rose, which just sickens me. She's just really boring when she is talking about Derek and all of that, in fact, I wonder if she would even be less boring if she didn't do all those things.

    Derek and Rose: They get closer and closer as the days pass, but someone isn't in approval of them seeing each other (other than Meredith of course, her opinion doesn't matter), it is no other than Mark Sloan. Uhmmm... all of Derek's relationships bore me. More Christina and Bailey please!moreless

    i think this eppisode was awesome considering it was right after that painful writers strike. it was exiting, but i only rated it a nine because after i saw this eppisode, i saw the preview of next week and think its going to be way better. derek and meredith should be together, everybody knows that but it may take some time (and maybe some jelp from mark) for derek to relize hes got the wrong girl. i also think christina is funny in this one because she is obsessing over the fact that callie and Hohn are friends! this is a really good eppisode.moreless

    • Cristina (about Rose): She's wretched and mean. Meredith: No, she's not. Izzie: You know, I heard one of the nurses sayng they've only been on five dates. Cristina: Yeah 'cause Derek knows she's wretched and mean. George (walks up, to Izzie): What did you do to your hair? Meredith: You guys, I know you're trying to make me feel better but I have to tell you, this pausing to talk about Rose and Derek just means... Cristina: Yeah? Meredith (starts running): I'm gonna win! (laughs) Izzie: You bitch. (Cristina and Izzie chase after Mereidth. To George) Keeping it clean was getting in the way of the contest so I chopped it off last night. It makes me faster and sleeker like a cheetah. George: You chopped off all your hot hair for a stupid contest? Izzie: It's not stupid. Rock star contest. Best contest ever. You should try living in the hospital for two straight weeks, George, it's amazing. Cristina: This contest is for residents only. George: Yes, I know that. Izzie: It doesn't mean that he still can't live here. I feel juiced and alive and my brain is clicking. I have never been more on my game. Meredith: I'm kinda sad the contest ends tonight. Cristina: I'm not. I want that prize. George: What prize? Izzie: Bailey won't tell us. But I want it, I want it. I want it bad. Meredith: Too bad you're never gonna get it. Izzie: So on my game! Edit
    • Bailey: What Stevens is the only one working today? Cristina: No, we're all workin' we got paged. Bailey: For the ankle, it's gone. Now you're trollin' for traumas? Meredith: Somebody could come in any minute with a critical injury. We're being proactive. Alex: We're helping people. Bailey: You're trolling. You're trolling and I got no one on post-op and pre-op. Move! Edit
    • Bailey: Why did we do a spinal tap on an ankle fracture? Izzie: He's getting the full work up. Bailey: How many points? Izzie: What? Bailey: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not putting this man through painful and unnecessary procedures because you're trying to win a contest. Edit
