I <3 Ugly Betty.

Monday, August 13, 2007

I watched 5 episodes (Episodes 11 to 15) of Ugly from 9AM to around 2PM and I just luffles this show so much. I had to buy the DVDs off Ebay Philippines because I couldn't find it in the.. err… "DVD stores" here. What a suck. It's been 6 months since I saw episode 10! I missed my weekly dose of Amanda and Marc! The rest of the episodes will have to wait because i felt a headache coming… 5 episodes straight. Does that give you a headache?

What I love about this show are the characters. America Ferrera is perfect as Betty. Not one you would expect to be dazzlingly beautiful when you take out the braces and shave the eyebrows. She's as real as real could get. But the characters I so enjoy watching are the bitches of MODE magazine. Vanessa Williams is so good at being bad as Wilhelmina Slater. And OMG GIna Gershon as Fabia! I've always loved her as the bitch in Showgirls but her as Fabia!? (which is by the way a parody of Donatella Versace) Now, that is a bitch larger than life itself.

Allow me to present Exhibit A: The Fabia Shriek

 

 

My favorite characters in this show however, are Amanda and Marc. Becki Newton is purrfect for the role of Amanda. She's so hot, she's so funny, and she's so feisty. I just love that she's such a bitch, but she's in-your-face honest, and that the girl gets hurt too. But I love her mainly because she's absofuckinglutely hilarious. Becki Newton has earned a fan here. Michael Urie as Marc St James. Marc St James. Epitome of gay. And I love him.

One of my favorite Marc and Amanda scene: Dreamgirls

 

 

Other characters here worth mentioning is Rebecca Romijn, and Lucy Liu. One interesting thing I noticed was in the casting, it just said Rebecca Romijn… wasn't that supposed to be Rebecca Romijn-Stamos? So she's divorced? But anyway, I'm not going to talk about the whole show because I could talk forever about it, and I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, and would want to watch it.
