What a major major disappointment "The Other Woman" was. Ugh! This episode was the worst one ever! Ever, folks, EV-ER! For one thing, I thought it was going to be revealed that Ben & Juliet had had an actual relationship that was more than some ridiculous jealous high crush Ben had for Juliet. Instead the "history" that Tom Friendly alluded to during Ben's surgery was an overblown crush? Did I accidentally have my TV on Degrassi Jr. High?

The episode was nothing more than a soap opera set in the jungle, down to the title "The Other Woman." It even had a SURGEON tied into the romantic drama!--How's that for a daytime TV standard??!! A surgeon, people: Can you say 'General Hospital'? I kept waiting for Susan Lucci and her helmet hair to walk out of the jungle and say "Sorry for the whispering, I have a bit of a cold. But anyway, Juliet--you b*&@#!--you'll never take my man from me!!!"

Of course, maybe I would have liked it more if I gave a darn about Juliet or believed it was possible that anyone could find her attractive. Jack is completely icky to me now. Jack, you are dead to me. Dead, you hear?

That's an hour of my life I will never get back.
