Now I am on board the Gio train.

It is a bit silly that in a show called "Ugly Betty" there is not one but 2 attractive guys fighting over the main character. It is nice that these guys appreciate Betty for her personality, but it seems pretty unrealistic the way she is being pursued by them in this show.
I think the audience would relate better to her character if she had problems finding a date. Watching her fight off ardent suitors makes the show a little over the top (and is probably depressing for all the attractive single gals out there.)

I vote for the Betty-gone-off-alone angle, for what it's worth. And then no doubt the whole Henry/Gio thing will get stretched out even more next season.
A little disappointed in the Daniel-and-his-bastard storyline, as the sudden arrival of a child is typically a corny show-killer (what I like to call The Cousin Oliver Syndrome).
However, Amanda as a cheerleader
I guess I can tolerate the dumb stuff for awhile longer because this show really looks outstanding in HD.

I'm late, but this was a pretty unimpressive finale. Though there wasn't much Lohan, I would much rather see the time that will be wasted on her given to Hilda, Marc or Amanda. I'm loathing those future appearances.
I also commented on the Madonna thread about this episode featuring "Hard Candy" tracks (well, except "Jump"). Didn't mind that. I also thought this episode was pretty colorful. Almost TOO colorful. Close to oversaturating..
Oh, and I know it's good to have a bad guy, but is Wilhelmina going to "win" every freakin time?

I think Mark's bf is a case of too many storylines. TPTB wanted to cut down to focus back on Betty. Besides his bf made Mark too grounded and I think people would prefer he stay Willie's evil sidekick.
