Getting Closer….

by Jamie Beckett

Good morning, everyone!! Remember when I mentioned that new promo for season 5? Well, it’s finally up on youtube. If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, check it out:

How’s that for a teaser? I know I’m looking forward to seeing the season after that. Even better, there’s a premiere date listed. The new season starts on September 28th. Only a couple months to go, fans. So what do you all think of the promo? Let me know your thoughts on that and what characters you’re most looking forward to seeing.

Speaking of Desperate Housewives, I saw a repeat of Nicollette’s episode of Punk’d the other day, and boy was she ever looking desperate. For anyone who hasn’t seen it… let me set the scene for you. Basically, Michael Bolton was the accomplice and met her for lunch. While they’re dining, a man comes up and starts telling them what a big fan is and shows off an engagement ring he’s about to give his girlfriend. She and Michael admire the ring a minute and then the man goes back to his table. At the last minute, he comes back and asks if they’ll hold the ring for him and bring it over when he pops the question because his girlfriend is also a huge fan. They agree and Michael “accidently” drops the ring after the guy walks away, knocking out the stone. Nicollete desperately tries to help him find it while the guy is waving them over. Next thing Nicollette knows, the woman is ranting and raving about her boyfriend and what a loser he is and just blaming him for the whole thing rather than Michael, who was really at fault. Nicollette tries to calm her down, but it doesn’t work. The woman “breaks up” with her would-be fiancé and leaves. Finally, a cameraman comes running in and Nicollette realizes what happened.

If there’s one thing I like about this show, it’s the insight we get into the person from how they react to their trick. Nicollette was nothing but nice and calm and tried everything she could to diffuse the situation and explain that the boyfriend was not at all at fault for the lack of a stone on her ring. Once she found out it was a joke, she took it pretty well, too. Definitely a far cry from some of the diva fits and tantrums I’ve seen happen on that show. I have to admit, I’m a little curious to see how the rest of the cast would handle a similar situation.
