I have been waiting for a year or something like waiting for this show. I loved this episode. Great storyline. I loved the way Bow and Omarion was in it. Amazing episode can't wait until next weeks episode. Not long now.

    Trying to help kids! That's Betty's tone! hide show

    Betty is trying to help Justin and his classmates in seeing the publishing world. But they are getting the wrong idea. As they see models and people that are skinny. As Betty thinks that it is sending the wrong message to them. As she tells boss Daniel to use ordinary models. Meanwhile, Amanda goes and visits a shrink about her biological father. And Whilimenia as I tend to agree with one person here, role is getting smaller. Though she is the person you love to hate, every show needs a person that you love to hate. Hopefully her role will get back into becoming bigger in her quest for power.

    One BIG mistake hide show

    Bow Wow in Ugly Betty? Great idea but the fashion show? Since when fat people are healthy? Someone should think this through doing that episode. Healthy people are the ones who don't eat at mcdonalds only and those women obviously do (at least some of them). I didn't like that episode, it was so not like 'ugly betty'. She is becoming more and more confident so probably they will make her the head of the company soon, why not. Wilhelmina's role is getting smaller and smaller and she was the one with the best quotes. Sadly The show is going down.

    Betty on the runway & Gene Simmons is Amanda's Baby daddy!!! hide show

    Willie is "Harmotional"

    The mean girls form Justin's school arrive at Mode!

    Willie needs a surrogate, as she has a "hostile womb" and dumps her first choice (her pedicurist) as she was once a dominatrix.

    Betty wants to save the world from skinny models due to childhood "pool party trauma".

    Daniel has no power as Alexis runs the show.

    Christian cant use her insurance for Stewart's procedure thus becoming desperate.

    Willie might try to use Christina's desperation as a bargaining key for carrying her evil spawn.

    Amanda sees a "Madame Zora" type to get info on her dad who turns out to be Gene Simmons!!!

    Betty struts her stuff on the runway!!!

    And Big girls are Beautiful!!!

  • Betty: So, did she go for it?
    Daniel: Not at first. I totally stared her down, though, told her I wasn't going anywhere. I don't mean to brag, but it did get into a little bit of a pissing contest, and I think we both know who has better aim these days... (off Betty's puzzled look) Me, Betty, I have the penis.
    Betty: (looks away) Oh. I'm uncomfortable now... []
