Matty: You just shaved your legs and have pink finger nails. Whose the real winner here?
My first post back. Here we go!
So this episode was the start of Jenna and Colin's spark. We knew Nolan Funk's character Colin was going to be a potential love interest for Jenna but we just didn't know if Jenna would feel the same way. Turns out Jenna is feeling more for Colin the he is for her right now.
But
before I talk about that situation let’s talk about the episode first. Jenna and
Tamara are watching their guys: Matty and Jake play Football/Soccer. We then
see Matt groupies who just happen to be the same girls that was dancing with at
the homecoming dance. The girls were just being normal groupies you know:
cheering and being crazy. But then Matty takes off his shirt and the girls go
even more crazy. Matty apologizes for the girls' behaviour but Jenna doesn't mind
because she isn't jealous of them. Tamara on the other goes cray cray when she
sees one Jake groupie among the dozen of Matty groupies. She had some harsh
words for that groupie which I will not mention at least not yet.
During
her writing class along with Colin and the awesome bitch Sadie. Her
Sociopath
teacher (who just happens to be named Mr Hart) offers the class an assignment
which will earn them at least 50% of their grade. Jenna decides to not to take
up that offer and play it safe which of course Sadie points out. This leads to
some events which in the end her teacher manages to manipulate Jenna into
reading something personal at a bar called "Bean There Done That"
where it just so happens to be open mike night, and if she doesn’t 50% of her
overall grade would be a 0.
Jenna
doesn't want any of her friends there: Matty, Jake not even Tamara. (speaking
of friends, where was Ming this episode? Even the Asian Mafia was
missing.)
Matty willing to prove to Jenna that he is not clingy decides to
spontaneously
claim that he and Jake were having a bro night which of course surprised Jake
and by association Tamara because ever since becoming "Jakara" they
do everything together.
Back in
Jenna's bedroom she is deciding what to talk about at the bar. The
Guidance
Counsellor turned Vice Principal turned Guidance Counsellor again gave her the
advice to read something from her blog. August 26 2011. Tamara meanwhile goes into
the kitchen to get something to drink and bumps into Jenna's mum and mentions
the open mike night.
So when
Jenna goes to the bar, she is greeted by the Guidance Counsellor Ms Marks and also
her parents. To make matters worse she sees Mr Hart when she was about to
leave, she also sees Colin who I'm guessing was there for support and Sadie who
was there to watch her make a fool of herself as usual. Sensing that J was
nervous the Guidance Counsellor decides to warm the crowd up for her and do a
very weird intimate dance.
Next its
Jenna's turn and her parents' are happy that they are there to witness this but
as soon as Jenna tells them what her story is about "How I lost my virginity"
Jenna's dad immediately leaves saying "I shouldn't be here" which is right
because no father should have to hear how his daughter lost her V card. At first
Jenna felt uncomfortable but then she got into it even adding a few quips of
her own about the host. She even spoke about Matty's signature smelling of the
arm pits.
Meanwhile
at Jake's house the bro night is in full swing but all the boys can talk about
is their girlfriends. So Matty and Jake make a competition. They both turn
their phones off and no one can mention their girlfriend's name. Simple right? Well
it is proving harder for Matty and Jake because every conversation that they
have always consists of them about to mention Jenna or Tamara's names. So to
keep themselves distracted they have a series of competitions. You know because
that's what us boys do. Whether it's: Eating a burnt steak off of the floor,
eating a bottle of cinnamon, downing a bottle of hot sauce, eating a raw onion
or painting your nails pink and shaving your legs, Y'know usual guy stuff. Turns
out Matty loses the competition because he takes a picture of Jake shaving his
legs using his phone. After taking the picture he sees that he has a missed call
from Jenna saying that she wants him there.
After her
success she gets a compliment or as close to one from Mr Hart. Sadie on the
other hand was far from impressed as usual. But Colin on the other hand was the
complete opposite. So while her mother and Ms Marks were talking (are they back
to being bff's now) Colin invited Jenna out for a bite to eat. While they were
eating Matty finally called Jenna back but she ignored it but when Alex
(Colin's girlfriend) calls he accepts and tells Jenna that she's just trying to
make him jealous because he was missing out. Turns out Colin ditched his
girlfriend and her friends to go and see Jenna at the open mike night. But
while he was on the phone to Alex he was holding onto Jenna's arm. At this
point you can see the chemistry, cupid's arrow has struck Jenna and she felt
it. But once Colin got off the phone explains that he didn't really feel
anything, didn't really feel that he was missing out, he wasn't at all jealous.
Jenna says that this could mean that he trusts her but then Colin says "Or
he's over it" and by it he means the relationship. At this point Jenna
then ignores another phone call from Matty.
Jenna
returns home to her mother who was waiting up to tell her how proud of her she
was. But then she started to quiz Jenna about Colin and claming that she already
has a boyfriend aka Matty. The episode ends with Jenna and her monologue and
Matty knocking her window but her pretending to be asleep.
