I'm sticking firmly in the jonas is attractive camp, but distanced far away from the "OMG!! He is like, such a total hottie. Bree should totally stay with him and they could, like, hook up and make lots of cute babies. She should totally trust him cuz he's way cuter than Daniel; who is, like, such a total Jerky McJerkatron. I mean, seriously, he's like ALWAYS yelling at her and p monkey is totally cute so what's the big deal. Daniel is probably the evil one and jonas should so take off his shirt and rescue bree from that big meanie daniel, and I think it's so sweet that Jonas is offering her a place to stay. he's just so HOT!!!!!! O.M.G." I actually don't want to like him, but dang. I'm a sucker for SOMETHING about him. Oddly enough, I think I'd hate him in real life. By the way, the k-fed thing is ruining my appreciation of Jonas.  I was picturing him more as a Corey Feldman meets A.C. Slater, which really isn't much better except K-fed is just so blech. The hat was a bad touch, but remember- he's a skater. (what was the point of that rant anyway, "I'm more of a Stacy Peralta than a Tony Hawk." Was that supposed to be for authenticity, or some kind of "clue?") And for the record: I DON"T want Jonas to take his shirt off, or wear a wife beater. trashiest.wardrobe.ever. Smite away, but Jonas is the boy I hate to love. |

"Gas Needs"
HAAAAHAAAAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!
I can't believe no one picked up on this yet. That's the most horrible, generic-sounding name for what I can only assume is a gas station. (unless, like Hank Hill he's selling propane and propane accessories). The way Yousef said it, it really sounded improvised. Don't get me wrong, I love this new detail about Daniel.

Who's the best actor? Well.. I think we haven't seen enough of any of them to judge who's the best actor. Jess is suffering now from the lack of imagination the so called "creators" are demonstrating.. But we all have seen great acting from her in vids where Bree was meant to be intelligent, sensible, thoughtful, etc.. Because that's how Jess probably is.. Definitely she can't play a dumb (almost retard) version of Bree, we are sick of her playing with PM.. And I think that's because she does not believe in it herself.. So I can see how hard this must be for her.. How in the world is she supposed to make us believe something she does not believe herself?
I know some of you will think "Well.. If she is such a great actress she is suppposed to be able to play a lonegirl version of Rainman for us". Be realistic guys... I think she is doing enough with the scripts she is made to play.. Any average actress would not have survived this far.
She is getting all the criticism now since she was the target of the Wehos vid.. She is the main character.. Plus she is the only girl.. And since the M&M cult has behaved so far in a way it seems like she is getting all the support from them and Yousef is getting all the junk.. That can make her look like the bad and Yousef the innocent victim.. Even if that were to be true we have to be fair with her acting.. I'm not saying she can't improve.. What I'm saying is: Don't forget those vids from Jess you really enjoyed.. She has some very good ones indeed.. I really loved some of them.
We are discovering a new Yousef since a few vids back.. I have to admit he has suprised me.. He has suffered from the single minded scripts focussed on Bree.. But we have to admit he is getting a break now.. You can tell he must have been under a lot of pressure but no matter what that has been for the best.. He has made some stunning vids lately.. He seems to work best under pressure.. And he is pulling a leading character with a lot of moral and emotional issues in weak balance in a way I would have never dreamed in his firsts solo vids.. Yousef is now supporting the whole weight of LG15.. And we all are looking forward to see his performance.
Jackie.. Well.. She has managed to divide her audience between those who love and hate her.. And that in itself says a lot about her and her acting.. She has been given roles that portrayed her as someone who thought of herself being higher than Bree.. And the editing to her vids felt more like a model agency ad about one of her girls than someone telling a story.. But in her last vid she is placed in the same level as Bree.. She is in a situation where she has to show some weakness in a way the camera would take it.. To me she is the character who has been more victimized by the holes in scripting.. But I still can see a great potential in her.. I just have to see a lot more of her before I can make an idea..
And this Jonas thing.. I just watched his vids and I don't even know his real name.. Well.. I think this guy has had a lot more acting classes than we probably think.. He shows some quality and has a control of his body language that makes me think he has a good technical background about acting.. However he suffers from the same sickness - Poor scripting.. He's character has been designed as LonelyBoy15.. It's too late for him now.. He should have appeared early in the series.. Now he is direct competition with Bree.. And you cant make the audience choose between the crowned queen and the new kid in the block.. He now will always be the one who wants to be like Bree and will never be given that honor.. Plus he is just too old to play poor sad lonely little kid who is isolated home all day long.. He is in good age to be chasing girls and if he really had the house for himself and all the money he needs he would not be doing circus tricks in his garden and recording it for the whole world to see.. I mean what were you thinking when you were his age?.. Sex, fun and music or I'm bored home because nobody comes to play with me? Common!
So.. We all want to see nice acting and a great storyline.. So far we can't say we have been deceived by anyones acting.. And even thou we have watched pretty good work from them we are yet to see a scene we'll all remember for the rest of our lives.
Ok.. Now the vid.. Daniel attitude in this role is completly realistic.. And how good does that feels after all the crap we have been through.. Daniel is talking his mind: "I'm tired of this.. But I can't trust Bree to be able to make the right choices.. What should I do? Let her go to Jonas who is another traumatized big kid who thinks he is in control.. And let them play being adults.. Or bring Bree to a point whether she has to break her silence and secrecy and either tell me everything she knows so I can see why are we doing this.. or.. Prove she is unable to think for herself and then I'm stuck with an almost autistic teenager whom I might have to take care of indefinitely"
Daniel has plans.. He used to have a life.. And he used to follow an honor code that worked for most occasions.. I do right and I expect to get right doing.. Now he is in a situation where no matter how much right things he does he just wont get a fair treatment back.. Bree is being egoist, egocentric and very manipulative.. She just lets Daniel carry all the weight of the situation.. And now she is basically dumping him: Just bring me to Jonas.. So I'll be able to choose and therefore I won't depend or have need of you anymore.
Daniel is no stupid.. But he is not a jerk either.. He really cares for Bree.. And I love the way Yousef is bringing that to life.. You really believe Daniel would never harm or take advantage of Bree.. That's true love.. And that's something extremly valuable Bree is ignoring and wasting.. And she couldnt care less.
Ok.. So we are seeing some acceptable scripting from M&M's factory after all.. Maybe they decided they want to prove how good they are to those who laughed with the Wehos vid.. That would be so interesting.. Or is it me doing wishful thinking?

I thought it was "gas and eats". Like a truckstop or gas station/convienience store. Still very funny. I wonder if they had funny uniforms.
I love how from the middle of the video until the end, Daniel is just trying to convince himself to leave Bree. I don't think he'll leave...or at least he's not quite ready to leave yet.
Crap job. Parents don't care. School doesn't sound like a very pressing situation. "I could get some gen-ed classes out of the way..." He has no real reason to leave except for money and Bree losing all sensibility. If she's going to Jonas', he better go along...even if she does fall for this guy, he has to be the bigger man and protect Bree as best as he can. She only questioned the Order after he convinced her. He has to take responsibility for that. Daniel is an honerable guy. He'll do the right thing.

I think you're right on "Gas 'n' Eats." And yes, it's still funny, perhaps just as funny. I once worked at a gas station convenience store for about a month, and it was probably the worst month of my life. BTW, nice avatar, trash.

I was picturing him more as a Corey Feldman meets A.C. Slater, which really isn't much better except K-fed is just so blech. The hat was a bad touch, but remember- he's a skater.
