The show just has not been the same since the strike. I am left with so many questions. For instance:

- Why was Wilihemina so against the idea of Renee getting with Daniel? Sure, Wili and her sister were never friends, but wouldn't Renee be more of an asset to her as a blackmailed mole on the Meades instead of in the loony bin?

- Why hasn't Christina mentioned of Stuart? Isn't he, after all, the reason why she is agreeing to be Wili's surrogate? And did Stuart take the money and run or is he really dying?

- What happened to Betty's writing class? Does she still want to be a writer?

- Why hasn't Gio called Betty on Henry's continued lameness? What distingushes Gio from Henry for me is in that he challenged Betty. Shouldn't he be the one to point out that Henry's "drama" is created by his refusal to set boundaries?

- Why hasn't Betty's family called out Henry's continued lameness? Yes, the plan is for Betty to have this fairytale time before Henry goes bye-bye, but the longer Betty pretends, the more she is going to get hurt. I long for a scene where Papa suarez sits Betty down and tells her that at some point, peopple have to make a decision aand he could remind her that her mother chose to leave her husband for him. But, they could have never had a family if Betty's mother would not have made a choice. And when Hilda saw that gina had a real realtionship, wouldn't it have prmptd her to want the same not only fo herself, but for Betty?

- Wasn't Daniel a drug and sex addict at the beginning of the season? How did he overcome that again?

- How are we supposed to believe that Renee was one of Daniel's loves when we onyl saw them together for two episodes?

I could go on, but I won't. :) I want some resolution and i want a season finale that will pull at me the way last season did.

[b]Bashing chiropractors?[/b]

This is my burning question: How much did the producers of Ugly Betty get paid by the pharmaceuticals to bash chiropractors on the last show? It was so out of the blue. "Chiropractors aren't *real* doctors!"

Slandering a medical profession? Let's look at some facts.

"The Parker College study reported that on average, chiropractic college involves 372 more classroom hours than medical school. Chiropractic students also have more hours of training in anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, and orthopedics (the musculoskeletal system). "

In an average of 18 chiropractic schools and 22 medical schools, chiropractors had 456 hours of anatomy compared to MD's 215, more physiology, chemistry, diagnosis (408 hours versus 113 hours!), x-ray (271 hours versus 13 hours!) and orthopedics (168 hours versus 2 hours). In fact, the total number of hours for a chiropractic college was 2,419 while a medical school was 2,047. (I found these facts on http://www.drgrisanti.com/mddc.htm if you want to read them for yourself.)

But of course, since chiropractors are more versed in diagnosis and orthopedics, they are more able to help the patient with musculoskeletal injuries (say, a random pain in your foot, or neck or low back). These account for 20% of patient visits.
And we know how much the pharmaceuticals love to supply Americans with drugs.

So why wouldn't they want to bash chiropractors on Ugly Betty? Why would pharmaceuticals want to lose 20% of the patient population to chiropractic? Chiropractors don't believe in unnecessary drugs or surgery, a philosophy which is very threatening to our current healthcare system.

I was so disenchanted and disappointed and infuriated with this part of the show (and I normally love Ugly Betty!) that I am thinking of boycotting it. At the very least, I want the contact information for the producers to let them know that they have alienated some portion of their audience. And they will get sued. Slandering a medical profession like that is not something that slips through the cracks. It is illegal.

"Christina's thoughts on Wili's Ryan Seacrest file: 'I don't know why she's sitting on that. Someone needs to take him down.' Truer words were never spoken."

Amen, Sista!!

I think willi definitely crossed the line on this one. To do this to your own sister WOW.

Does anyone know the song they were playing when Christian Soriano made his entrance? It's kind of a Latin carnivale thing with whistles and some woman singing, not in English. It's stuck in my head and driving me insane!

I love this episode! It made me laugh and the ending made me a little upset. Renee was a good character, I surprisingly felt a lot of emotion when Wili got away with ruining her sisters life. I would've liked to see Daniel and Renee work out. Hilda & Amanda need more screen time! They're hilarious. I think Christina could use more screen time too. Amanda and her little monologue with Daniel? Hilarious. And her posing with the models made me laugh my ass off!

Sorry, I've got to disagree with you. I thought Christian Siriano contributed little if anything to the show. He was completely upstaged by his own entourage.

i can't believe you missed the one liner when Wili said Marc shouldn't pout!
