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.

first of all, LOVE the post. funny stuff. susan lucci! classic!
i agree with you on a couple of points. juliette (or the actress that portrays her) to me is not believeable as an attractive woman. something about her smirk. i STILL don't trust her, and she's...i don't know...like a prune. i HATE that jack and her are getting romantically involved. HATE IT!!!
A couple of points were boring, i'll give you that. but maybe tom was alluding to the fact that ben orchestrated the death of juliette's lover, more than the fact that he is obsessed with her.
maybe we can't help but be disappointed because the last few eps have been so good. there was bound to be a bit of a let down eventually.
