90210: Choking Dolphins? Awesome!
The Poor Sap Award: Navid
Poor, sweet, innocent Navid. He has NO clue what's going on. Adrianna finally does the bom-chicka-wow with him, and he's walking on air --- little knowing that she only did it out of guilt over kissing Teddy. This becomes problematic when he brags about his deflowering to Teddy. We loved his mile-wide grin and his constant high-fiving, but we can't help but think that things are going to go very wrong, very soon.
Worst Betrayal: Adrianna
Come on, Ades. Giving false hope to Navid is just cruel -- make up your mind between the sweet puppy dog and Mr. Male Model, will you? Navid is like a young schoolgirl, batting her eyelashes as she thinks about the love of her life while Ade gets hot and steamy with Teddy in the same room! Granted, she didnask Teddy to kiss her in the restaurant – but she didn't exactly stop him, either.
Impressive Scheme Award: Naomi
Ah, Naomi. We have to admit, we're weirdly impressed. She knows that she'll never get the grades to make it into her college of choice, but she's convinced she can make it in by dating the Dean of Admission's son. Hah! To seduce him, she pretends to be an ardent environmentalist -- filling up a re-usable water-bottle from a plastic one and driving her bike to school. Of course, we're betting enviro-boy's hunky roommate will derail her plans!
There's more after the jump -- read on!
Nice Save Award: Ryan
We love how Ryan can turn on a dime and improv with the best of them! He was all set to tell Liam's parents about his bad behavior, but when he realized what a schmuck his stepdad really was, he smoothly transitioned to praising Liam – thus keeping him out of juvie. Well done!
Hopeless Romantic Award: Dixon
Dixon won our pity after getting the door slammed in his face – twice. No one could have made “Get Lost!” seem any more harsh than Sasha did but then again, we need to cut the poor girl a break… She found out her strong, independent man candy was really some woman’s wittle high school junior baby. Sorry sister, misunderstandings happen. But what was she thinking when she jumped into bed with him after she found out about his age? Poing!
Sharper than a Serpent's Tooth Award: Silver
What did you think of Silver's performance at her mom's AA Meeting? Granted, Jackie doesn't exactly qualify for Mother of the Year (or even minute), but did she really think tearing Jackie a new one on public -- at an AA meeting -- was in anyone's best interests? Or maybe we're just influenced by the knowledge of Jackie's life-threatening cancer.
Things Going Terribly Right Award: Annie
Annie seems to be getting along well with Jasper – even though she did hit his uncle and left him to die; but that’s just a minor detail, right? Here in 90210 we ignore those issues in hopes that they’ll go away – until they come back to bite us in the butt. But maybe that won’t happen to Annie and Jasper doesn’t really suspect her of anything… Anyone wanna take that bet?
