8.04 We All Fall Down Roundtable

Hi Guys. I know I am super late getting this up it has been a very busy week for me. I hope all enjoyed this past weeks episode and are getting ready for a new one on Tuesday!
– Amanda

1) Favorite quote of the episode?

LizzyB: Victoria’s “She’s better than that Calliopy, and everyone in here needs their own bitch.” Man, I love her! Close second…Nathan telling Clay, “I was thinking you were going to die..and that was completely unacceptable to me.” Nathan has sooo been my favorite character lately!

Amanda: I have to go with Lizzy on this one on all accounts. I was laughing so hard when Victoria spout out her quote! And I have loved many of Nathans lines over the past few episodes. ahhh!

Amy: I have to be honest.  Quotes were weak for me this week.  None are standing out to me.

2) Do you agree with Brooke’s decision to sell C/B and liquidate her personal assets to pay back all her investors?

LizzyB: I admire her for wanting to do right by them but I can’t help but think that Victoria has a good point about these people making the choice to gamble with their money. Why would you take that risk with your child’s college fund? If I was that man’s daughter, I would blame him before Brooke.

Amanda: I also admire her for what she is wanting to do. I felt it was just a little extreme. Maybe I don’t understand the business world but I keep feeling like there has to be other options. I am sort of in the middle agreeing with Brooke and with her mom.

Amy: Yes.  COB has always been personal to Brooke and I don’t think she could live with herself otherwise.

3) What’s next for Nathan now that he’s retiring from basketball?

LizzyB: I guess it’s back to Hot and Twisted for him!

Amanda: I don’t know

Amy: Back at THH?

4) What should Julian do with his video?

LizzyB: I totally saw the next Nike commercial when Julian was replaying his footage at the end of the episode!

Amanda: Yes I thought the same thing – commercial. (side note) I really like how it started off and then ended with the video and Nathan’s decision. How he put the ball down and walked away.

Amy:  Wow, I have no clue.

5) Less realistic: Alex’s golf drive that inevitably won her the bet or Nathan scrubbing bloody carpets in the dark?

LizzyB: Though I thought it was weird that Nathan was cleaning in the dark, I guess I wouldn’t really want to see all that yucky blood either so I can maybe let that slide. Alex’s shot on the other hand was just ludicrous. Where did that table come from? This isn’t Happy Gilmore!!!

Amanda: I am with Lizzy. First thought: why not hire a professional to come clean up the mess in the beach house but… ok it’s cool you go do it in the dark, I can deal with that. Alex with that last shot – NOT. I just laughed and moved on.

Amy: Nathan scrubbing bloody carpets.  Realistically, what guy is going to do that for his friend?  I know Nathan’s come a long way, but that’s a little much for me.  HOWEVER, I liked that he did that for him.

Bonus Question: Do you want the “Dear Lucas” at the beginning to continue?

LizzyB: I like Haley’s monologues and I think it’s nice that they are incorporting Lucas even though he’s not around anymore so, yes, keep them coming.

Amanda: I really really like Haley’s monologues and I really like that she writes them to Lucas. I hope they stay around too!

Amy: Yes!  I haven’t gotten tired of them yet.  How about her reading a letter FROM Lucas though?
