So, after a couple of bum weeks, I am glad to report that HoD pulled it together for the season finale — and I am relieved that the show got renewed, given that this season ended on a bit of an emotional cliffhanger in terms of the longterm WHO WILL ZOE CHOOSE???? question. That being said, I was relieved to see her pull a Kelly Taylor and at least temporarily choose herself. This show is very charming and funny, but it also treats Zoe being single as a freakish and terrible thing, when, really, girlfriend could benefit from not having a boyfriend for a while. You’re a doctor with a great wardrobe, dude! Go out and make some friends other than Lavon (who I love) and a fifteen year old girl. Zoe should have A LOT more going on than just dithering between dudes. Being single at a wedding isn’t the end of the world; being single, period, is not a death sentence. Cultivate other interests!
And that’s advice that, actually, I think the show itself could take to heart over the break. It is funny and charming and I wholeheartedly recommend and enjoy it, while also wishing it was as adept at non-romantical storylines as it is at the lovey-dovey stuff. Again, look to Greek. REGARDLESS: YAY for the show being renewed, YAY for Jaime King’s VAST AND MASSIVE improvement as an actress this season (and Lemon’s turnaround as a character), and a big and enthusiastic YAY for the return of Shirtless Wade.

Well Played The Cover: Kate Upton
Someone send Anna some flowers:
Kate Upton looks better in her swimsuit on the cover of Vogue than she did on EITHER cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition. Admittedly, I am more the target market for THIS cover rather than the SI ones, but I’m even just talking about From The Neck Up. Namely, she looks like she hasn’t been totally sedated here. Admittedly, I am fond of the Dark Eyebrowed Blonde 50s Bombshell look with regards to a swimsuit cover, but this is basically the only time I’ve seen Upton photographed and thought, “oh, I GET IT.” I guess this is what is supposed to happen when you bring Mario Testino into play. (In comparison, Upton’s always charming on Today; I think she sort of works better in motion than otherwise, which is weird for…you know. A model.)
Additionally, congrats to those of you who predicted she’d get a cover; I never EVER thought Anna would touch Kate Upton with a ten-foot Photoshop tool. As Heather noted to me today when we were talking about this, it seems apt that this happened during the same month that Anna had to bring KimKard to the Met Ball. “Maybe she was taking her medicine all in one go,” Heather noted. Wise words from my better half.
