SVH TV Episode 1.13: Club X

[hellobrisvegas]

(Sorry for the incessant recapping of late. But I've found that it's true what they say -- you can't keep bitchness creativity down. I'll stop soon, I swear!)

This FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC (deliberate caps lock, bold and italics) episode is based on the classic SVH book Jessica Against Bruce, the recap of which can be found here. Basically, the awesome-

You know, when you mentioned that your first hotmail address (remember when Hotmail was new and radical and not owned by Microsoft?) was lila_sweetvalley, I suddenly remembered that, as a tween (this was before tweens, but whatever), I used to "roleplay" being Liz with my cousin, who pretended she was Jess.

I'll just go hide in my closet now.

[hellobrisvegas]

Oh, get out of that closet!
In primary school, two of my friends and I used to give ourselves 'characters' from our fave movies/TV shows/books, and for SVH we were Lila, Amy and Jessica. I, of course made sure I was Lila, because I was a bully and a bitch and always got my way. Even at that age, nobody wanted to be Elizabeth.

I actually remember seeing this episode! Man, even then I could tell it was lame. I remember Jess wearing what looked like the top half of a black tee shirt, and knowing I'd never wear something like that.

On the "b-ball" thing, that's what my dad still calls it sometimes, but I can't tell if he's being sarcastic or sincere. You get that a lot with my dad.

[hellobrisvegas]

"You get that a lot with my dad."
And with me. Your dad and I would get along. (Or am I just being sarcastic..? You'll never know.)

Those shorts are terrifying.

[hellobrisvegas]

Yes, yes they are. He wore those Bruceshorts and loafers with no socks, and I can't decide if that's better or worse.

This was one of my favourite books. I'm so glad it got translated to the tv series!

because Manny's there, and who in their right mind would let fucking Manny be part of their secret society?

Hahahaha, that's oh so true!

Hmm, would we call Liz the white-water rafting type?
Well, there was that one book, where she surfed? My question is more about California and where would they actually GO white-water rafting? (Oh, Sweet Valley probably has a convenient river we just don't know about yet!)

I dub them 'Bruceshorts'.

OMG that is the scariest pic I have seen in a LONG time!

No wait. I kept reading. My poor eyes!

come up with the complete list of Club X members

No Aaron? Ken? Epic Fail!

She plots some serious evenge-ray.

Hee! (Or ee-hay?)

I can't believe all of that happened in one episode. I guess there's a lot of time for script when there's no musical montage?

[hellobrisvegas]

Were Aaron and Ken in Club X? I honestly don't remember that!

And there was a musical interlude, only this time it was all about Kurt Rambis handing Todd's ass back to him, so it wasn't exactly headline-making.

[hellobrisvegas]

The Todd parts were actually more fun to snark because they were so shitty!

You're right about the wheel, too, but I just love that they had nothing better to do than construct TWO Price-Is-Right wheels -- one when they started the club, and one when they let Jessica become a member. Bruce should spend his time clothes-shopping instead.
