I'll have to think about that one; I'm not sure how I would react if Jo were in that situation.

You know, I just noticed something- it seems like those of you who hate this ep are guys, and those of us who love it are girls! Or am I wrong???

I would hate it If Jo lost it. Good point Obsolete Man. But as it is it's good to me, though I hate ilogic.

Agreed. Blair was *wa-a-a-ay* out of character. However -- someone correct me if this is wrong -- I think this was the first time she thought she was in love. (As in capital L-O-V-E... not the "Wow, he's cute, I'm in love," variety.)

Lovesick folk aren't the most logical people walking the face of the earth. Everyone can think of at least one friend who has made some disasterous decisions or bent themselves out of shape to be what they thought their sweetheart wanted.

This episode took all that stuff and cranked it up too far -- but I think it still had some endearing moments.

Ok, I've thought about it.....I can only conclude that it doesn't make a difference to me whether it's Jo or Blair in that situation- as long as it's temporary.

Actually, as you might recall, Jo wasn't exactly acting like herself in ep 64- "A Woman's Place." Her friends brought her to her senses and reminded her to be herself and not to give in to some male chauvinist jerk in that one (no offense to anyone....I am NOT saying that it is typical for guys to act this way).

I am a big Jo fan, but it's a good diversion to see her show her flaws once in a while. Same thing with Blair. It shows that they're human and they are entitled to make mistakes once in a while.

i liked this ep alot, because kinda the same thing happened to my friend that happened to blair, and i intervened as jo. hehe. but it was good to see blair & jo sort of showing different sides of themselves for a change. it shows they're really 3-dimensional characters, and don't always have to be in the SAME mold in EVERY episode. ya know?
oh, the best line of the whole ep:

BLAIR: "Jo!! Wake up! We can go to sleep now!!!"

and it was really funny how they were cracking up laughing when the guy called...my friend and i act like that all the time. lol.
