Fun episode.

Deb (in lingerie ) and Dan continue the "War of the Roses."

Whitey being Whitey. Lucas and Nathan fighting. Brooke and new girl cat-fighting. Peyton fighting the mascot for no apparent reason. Color commentator getting excited by it all with Mouth calling the action.

Nothing quite like a hot redhead. Wow - that Rachel is a total babe. The producers of this show really know how to cast 'talent.'

This season is off to a much better start than last year. Yeah, a lot of it is a retread of Season 1, but having catfights every week is a good way of spicing things up.

Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure I saw that Rachel chick on Joey last year(right before I tuned out of that piece of crap show). I hope she sticks around for a while. Damn.

This was "Bring It On" with a much meaner streak. Me Likey.

Brooke is so stupid. Rach is a hottie. Peyton is just confused, but it's weird seeing her as a cheerleader given her other proclivities, cheerleading just seems beneath her.

Dan and Deb should get their own show. How nasty will Dan be towards Karen in their mayoral race?

Tutor Girl and Chris - still not believing in their making beautiful music together.

Will Mouth get lucky with retainer girl who digs violence?

I know that girl was hot, but was that dance supposed to be sexy? I thought it looked really awkward and painful to watch. No comment on the rest of the episode as I just finished watching that and felt the need to post.

Yeah honestly her try out dance was awful. Not sexy, not talented just lame.

And Nathan now takes the title of most annoying character. He's an ass, and has no purpose right now. He's just ruining things with everyone.

This show was very good. Way over the top ... like it should be.

Peyton sidekicked the mascott during the brawl. Funny stuff.

Deb & Dan are getting viscious. Dan using Deb's toothbrush for dog butt scrubbing was low. You know someday he will kiss her again.

During the first season, Nathan was the bad boy. They need to return him to that. Now he is in limbo. Neither good nor bad. He needs bond with his dad again and begin to follow in Dan's footsteps.

Chris and Haylie are just boring. I don't buy into them and most importantly, I don't care.

I have no complaints about her try-out dance.

Agreed.

Great episode. A thumbs up to the casting of the new girl Rachel. Major hottie.

Me likey slutty Deb.

Wow - I didn't realize the chick (Danneel Harris) who plays Rachel is the same person who played the Major General's daughter in JAG last year; looked totally different.

I did prefer her dancing last week. Of course, that's probably due to the Pamela Anderson outfit she was wearing.



He was worse in Season 1. Aside from an overbearing father, he had everything going for him. Now in addition to Dan, he's got his parents' neverending divorce and a failing marriage to deal with. I at least feel a little bit of sympathy for him this time around.

On a side note, I did like the reference to Brooke being naked in Lucas' backseat. "That was so last year it was 2 years ago." Given the show's screwy timeline, that quote actually makes perfect sense.

I don't want to see early S1 Nathan either.

yeah I also like the show much more when the story lines are little more over the top and cheesy then when they try (and imo, fail) to do teen angst for an hour.

good mega bitch lines from the Rachel character too, always hammering away at
Sophia Bush character as been fat all ep.. Funny due to the pure catty nature of really hot girl number one calling really hot girl number two fat not because she is fat but just to be mean..

""oh and I need a pair for my sister, she's sort of chubby, ya know, your size" or "Brooke you don't scare me, I mean it's not like I'm a cookie or a doughnut"

throw in a cheerleader fight and ohhhhhhhhh yeah that's some good trashy tv right there!

That was awesome.

but do people really think she is fat? I think she is the perfect size.

Hell yes. This episode was great and tons of fun. Lots of things to laugh about.
