The show last night was pretty good but I could see it as being an episode that many people will be talking about because it brings up a very controversial issue. The issue is weight. Kelly Catrone, Whitney's old boss from People's Revolution is in New York and all the girls are gonna go out for her birthday. Whitney is excited for her new friends Allie and Eryn to meet Kelly but she warns them that Kelly is one to say exactly what is on her mind wether you like it or not. Allie says she appreciates that type of person and is excited to meet her. The girls are all sittin at the club when Kelly walks in and Whit introduces them all. Kelly comments to Allie, asking her if she is ok? She says you are so think are you sure you are ok? At first Allie lets it slide but later in the night when Kelly keeps repeatedly asking her the same question she gets offended and walks out. Whit tells Kelly sorry she is leaving and follows Allie out the door. Allie explains that she is hurt and that Kelly is a bitch. Allie says that she has to be thin to be a working model and that she knows she is not unhealthy. She says her agency would say something to her if she was too thin. Later in the show Whit explains to Kelly why she had to leave and that Allie was upset. Kelly is not sorry and says the truth hurts and that Allie is way too thin, to the point where she believes it is a problem. I believe she does look underweight but I haven't seen her in person so can't really tell. I am interested to see what kind of controversy this episode is gonna bring. Also in the episode Eryn runs into her ex boyfriend and it looks like they spent the night together, so I am sure she will be having drama with her current boyfriend soon. Olivia isn't in this episode much but when Whitney does try to talk to her about the Allie situation she is her usual self and is very negative. She implies that with Allie being a model she is expected to be skinny and "we can't have shamu walking down the runway". Looking forward to next week!
