Monday, January 05, 2009 || The City Episode Discussion
Erin's new boyfriend, Duncan, flies into town from Toronto. They playfully flirt on the couch at Erin's apartment when Whitney walks in. After a brief introduction, Whitney tells them that she will give the two alone time and gets out of their way.
Erin and Whitney grab breakfast at The Smith in the East Village while Duncan is asleep. Whitney shares that she is grateful yet apologetic that Erin has let her stay in her apartment. Erin responds that she is happy to open up her home, even though it might be a little crowded with Duncan in town. Whitney also questions her relationship with Jay -- she wants to trust him, but is finding it difficult.
Whitney and Olivia help out with the styling at a Diane Von Furstenberg photo shoot. While on the job, Whitney gets a call from Jay about an apartment he wants her to see immediately. She tells Olivia she wants to check out the place, but doesn't want to leave the shoot. Olivia, a native New Yorker, offers to help Whitney apartment hunt later but Whitney decides to leave early and goes to meet up with Jay.
Whitney and Jay check out the apartment in Gramercy Park, only 2 blocks away from Erin's place. They are both pleasantly surprised with the open floor plan and the breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows. Although Whitney, at first, has some reservations about the high-rise building, Jay reassures her that with a new place they can finally have some alone time.
Later, Whitney is elated to tell Olivia that she got the apartment she saw with Jay. Now feeling like she's on top of the world, Olivia shakes up her spirits with a little unwelcomed advice: you need to be more independent and your own person.
Erin and Duncan spend the night out at Brass Monkey. Although a bit hesitant at first, Erin opens up her feelings to Duncan and he warmly reciprocates. She flirtatiously asks him how he can be so perfect, but Duncan responds that he definitely has his secrets.
Whitney moves into her new apartment with Jay and Erin's help. Erin shares that she and Duncan used the L word to each other last night. Although Whitney is ecstatic to hear the news, Jay is perplexed on how two people can fall in love in only two weeks into a relationship.
While on a stroll in Central Park, Whitney confides in Erin that she seems to be figuring out everything in this new city -- except for the guys. She tells Erin that she will talk to Jay tonight about their relationship.
Meanwhile at Olivia's apartment, Olivia and her cousin Nevan dish about Whitney. Olivia is bothered that Whitney has moved into the first apartment she saw and also the apartment that Jay found. She is concerned that if anything were to happen between Whitney and Jay, she doesn't want Whitney to have emotional baggage attached to her home. Olivia wishes that Whitney be the more confident New Yorker and ditch the LA girl in her.
Whitney meets up with Jay at Stanton Social in the Lower East Side for dinner. Again, Jay criticizes on Erin and Duncan's relationship about how they are moving too quickly. They both skirt around the issue about their own relationship until Jay outwardly states that he doesn't want to be all about a relationship at this time because he is finally comfortable with where he is. He doesn't want to date other people, but he also doesn't want to put a label on their relationship either. Whitney then boldly gets real and honest and tells him that she doesn't want to invest in someone that doesn't make her a big priority in his life. Even though he can't agree right now, Jay reassures Whitney by telling her that he wants to get to know her better. Whitney nods hesitantly and confused at his remarks, and they continue on with their dinner date.

This show is as boring as watching paint dry.
olivia>>jay for witney, olivia isn't as bad as I first thought, Jay is clearly seeking attention to improve his fame, u can already see from next week once witney went out with another boy he wants to take things to next step so his chance at fame doesn't end.
whitney is amazing!!!
jay is hott!
erin is fun :)
olivia is dead boring!
i wasn't crazy about what whitney wore this week but i really like the show. it is going to take a little while to get used to the new "characters". for example i think erin is adorable and i'm drawn to her immediatly where as her realationship with that guy duncan is just meh. but again, we don't have anything invested in these guys yet so of course it is going to come off as slightly boring because we don't know word one about them yet. you have to remember it was kind of the same thing with season 1 of the hills when all of a sudden there were 4 new people; heidi, audrias, jordan & brian. heidi we knew a little bit from cameos but the rest were all strangers to us. i ended up liking everyone but brian never grew on me for some reason.
olivia is funto watch because she is so pretty and yet so insecure. all her vunerability reads on her face. kind of the way it used to w/ lauren.
i hope mtv and the fans give the show a chance because altho we still have 'The Hills' Lauren has pretty much stopped sharing any part of her real life with us : (
I just can't get into this show. Its kinda lame.
I agree with 4:11, you can't expect instant greatness without really giving it a chance, of course things aren't the most exciting right now, but I like it, and with time I think this show will be a hit.
it's ok but im not feeling it.
Ok, I just tried watching it and I don't know its missing something. I was watching then got bored and started playing with my blackberry and forgot what I was watching it just doesn't hold my attention.
i cant seem to get into it either. who knows hopefully it will get better..
I think the difference between the hills and the city is the main star. With the hills we cared about lauren and she had a fan base from laguna beach. I know I was intrigued with the whole jason thing so I watched. With the city whitney was the most boring character(from the hills) and sorry but even with her own show she's still quite boring and the other characters lawd have mercy! snoozefest.
i like the show and i agree that we all need to give it a chance. besides if we as fans don't get behind this show we wont get a 2nd season and i'd really like there to be one. After all what's going to be our guilty vice when the Hills stops filming? I'm sorry but gossip girls just doesn't do it for me. I'm willing to make the investment in Whitney. Besides what are we really getting from the Hills anymore anyway. They wont show Lauren's fashion line and Lauren doesn't feel comfortable dating on the show and if i see any more fake speidi story lines, i think i might claw my eyes out. I love Lauren but it's obvious she is not into filming anymore and Whitney is still that wide eyed innocent ready to share her heart and her world. I've always liked Whit and I think we just need to give her a chance to emerge as her own person. She's always kind of just been the go to girl for Lauren. And the rest of the cast of course will take some geting used to.
Yes, whitney is willing to share her scripted life but its still dull and nobody seems to care.
i agree with 9:25, but a show u shouldn't care about *look below at bromance*
11:19
i agree. i will never watch bromance not even when lauren is on. They'll post a clip of her appearance on you tube anyway and i don't want to give asshat Brody the ratings. It really ticks me off that he and Frankie are always talking sh*t about the Hills or saying not so nice things about Lauren (i didn't date that girl! friends w/ benefits etc) and then act like best buddies to her face. I wish Lauren would open her eyes about them!
sorry, new updates suck its like she didnt even try to look around for news.. there are alot happening.. cbox gives better updates..
omg they do!!!
i keep hearing about cbox, what is it so i can check it out.
the cbox is the message box all the way on the left hand side of the page. right below where it says site owner and how many people there are online there is a 2 inch advert and the cbox is right blow that advert.
what's going on with this site?!
extremely slow.!
i thought she got a new computer.?

I think I'm going to like this show. It's nice when your main character can hold a conversation that doesn't revolve around clubbing or shopping.
I'm interested to see the next episode with Olivia talking about the socialite scene. I heard she pretty much got evicted from that scene so I wonder if they'll address that. I do think she's very pretty - reminds me a bit of Julia Roberts.
i don't really like this show but that's just me.
If you've lost interest in maintaining this site then hand it over to people who would like to take care of it! Your users are the ones updating daily on the cbox as opposed to your 8 day old post, mind you which was NOT news. It's pathetic to lie or exaggerate about computer problems when really, you just don't want this anymore. It's disrespectful to the people who come here daily to lie to them and say "computer problems."
I don't think she's listening. She could care less about us fans.
THE CITY. Is one word Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
