The Guy That Works Out WAY too much.

God, so, this guy, Jake Turner, has a lot of issues. i will say, he clearly was getting to hit a hot Bella back in grad school, when she had the fun hair, and a clothing taste that I completely admire. Also, in grad school, she apparently liked to go to concerts, and go out and party, and dressed super awesome. I would have liked Bella Bloom in grad school, hell, that skirt she had on killed.

But, overall, Bella is an unlikeable adult, pretty much. I mean, her friends seem cool, which is now the oddest development in television, the fact that you cast a main character, who, all in all, is not that great person, but have fun friends that are clearly more entertaining than she is. (See Grey's Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, hell, even look back at Joan of Arcadia).

The most entertaning part of this episode was, of course, the googling of exes, which, not only does EVERYONE do, but with the advent of facebook, is even easier now. So, good for the show for having writers that at least are up with the times, now, they just need to make their lead character, more likeable.

The last episode ended with Day 6, with 359 days to go before she ain't getting married, ever.

Because this episode begins in the morning, and, after she had decided to keep high school boy's cat, and knew he was out of town, we will, for argument's sake, say this episode begins on Day 7.

So, on Day 7, she goes to see the race, and have brunch with her friends, misses her sister's odd aerobics class, and, good old Jake creeps on by the flower shop. I cannot get a read on whether they did the mountain bike date on this day, or the next day. But given the mountain bike timing, and the fact that it is still light out, the whole time they are gone (remember, Bella's already had a long day 7) I have to think that Mountain Bike date was on the next morning.

On Day 8, this is Mountain Bike date, and we start by getting a great Brave and the Bold, comic book reference, and Jake is way way way too touchy with Bella. God, it is odd. But, after the bike ride, they go to the beach for the co worker beach date, Bella comes home and catches her sister about ready to bang her fiance, and they make a ridiculous "no sex till marriage" pledge. (Waiting for your wedding day is fine, and commendable, however, when you do it all the time, stopping, is just dumb). The day ends with Jake and Bella agreeing to "get together tomorrow" before work.

On the morning of Day 9, they are kayaking, and Jake is totally into his own shit. Bella goes rock climbing with him mid day, and makes plans for that same night. SERIOUSLY, Bella, don't make same day plans. It is too desperate, and, you JUST reconnected with this guy 2 days ago, when he threw shit at you. Honestly, it is ok to stay at home at night, and not be doing stuff with him all the time. Bella and Jake go to a bar, play trivia, and have sex. She has now had sex with two different guys in the same week, while trying to find her high school boyfriend, whose cat she has. Bella, is a bit easy, and to quote her sister, is a bit of a tramp.

Then, day 10 comes around, and Bella is unsure as to how she going to proceed. The two go and rock climb some more, blah blah blah, he shows up at work, gets one more chance, which I guess is the same night (odd planning). AND internal inconsistency, earlier, Jake said trivia was once a week, now, it is every night. Jake tells of his ex, which is his boss, and Bella freaks..

Bella is outside with all her friends, on the 11th day (no one is working today, it must be a weekend), and, that night, Bella is checking out the list, which, has to mean, that the next episode will start on the morning of day 12, which means 353 more days, until Bella Bloom is forever alone.
