    More Ugly Betty drama. Daniel keeps secret from Alexis the fact that he is the one who hired Grace to defend their father, something which Wilhelmina uses to bring the siblings apart. Meanwhile, when invited by Henry to Charlie's birthday party, a desperate Betty asks Dr. Farkas, her orthodontist, to be her date. Finally, Amanda catches the eye of an unusual designer who claims that she is his muse. Betty still has feeling for Henry which everyone knows and Dr. Farkas leaves early saying he knows. Ah poor Betty. That sucks that Grace left because I liked her and Daniel together.moreless

    Enjoy sitting down to watch Betty every sunday night. It is fantastic. great humor, and drama and visuals (eg betty's braces at the start, amanada in that dress!)
    I'm heaps annoyed though as Charlie is too nice but Henry and Betty should totally be together! Wilamenia is also annoying me.. tho she makes the show more dramatic by wanting to take over and consequently ruin daniels life. Was a bit disappointed that there wasn't as many justin and marc comments... a whole episode of those two would do me just fine! Can't wait to see what happens with Claire, Betty and the orthodontist, Betty and Henry, Henry and Charlie, Daniel and Grace, Daniel and Alexis, Alexis and her dad!!moreless

    I like this series because is real, feet standind yet funny and mostly because the lead is, well, ugly! Not America, but Betty of course!

    And the interested is that i watch both versions of Betty (one from Colombia and other from Mexico) and I never saw Betty with so many guys on her.

    I mean, there's Walter, Henry and now Doctor something. But anyway, all i got eyes recently is Rebecca Romjin... ALEXIS! I mean, if every guy turn into her, then we're so gonna need help ... LOLmoreless

    This was so funny, all the characters are funny in this one. Every episode with Claire Meade in it is fan-frigging-tastic. Her lines are the best and I like her interaction with Betty a lot. Daniel keeps secret the fact that he is the one who hired Grace to defend their father from Alexis, something which Wilhelmina uses to bring the siblings apart. Meanwhile, when invited by Henry to Charlie's birthday party, a desperate Betty asks Dr. Farkas, her orthodontist, to be her date.

    The Rubber Dress was fantastic as was amanda's antics in said dress. the toilet scene had me giggling. The gnomey hat just topped it. Charley is the most annoying character so far and not just because i want Betty and Henry to get it together. Cameo by Lucy Lui is fanastic.

Nobody's kissing me. Dr. Farkas: Aww, come on. There must be someone special. Betty: Well there was a guy, but, he has a girlfriend. Dr. Farkas: So, uh, how's it feel? Betty: Well it was tough at first, but, now I'm happy. We're all just friends. Dr. Farkas: No, I meant the braces. Edit
