34 photos in galleryFirst, a note: Because of Fashion Week, I got behind, so the fug-cap of the first Ringer episode I missed went up yesterday (read it! I know they’re long, but bookmark where you left off and then pick it up again! No worries!) and now THIS one is the one that aired LAST Tuesday, so we are all caught up. Until tonight, when there is ANOTHER new one that promises Truths Will Be Revealed. Although this show reveals about three truths before breakfast, so that’s not so different.
It was before watching this episode that I learned the actress who plays Juliet is Lea Thompson’s daughter. And now that I know it, I can’t believe I ever DIDN’T know it. There is so much Lorraine in her face. Granted, Juliet would’ve punched Biff in the nads herself and been done with it, but the genetic legacy is still obvious. Clothes-wise, it’s mostly more Andrea Roth and her Coat of the Cave Bear, but SMG does work in a few extra ruffles to put on the “they’re hiding a pregnancy” pile. It’s not even that she LOOKS pregnant; they just shoot her like she’s got a time bomb strapped to her abdomen.

Huhlarious! I enjoy this show for the dishy ridiculousness that it is and the fug recaps make it that much more enjoyable! Seriously is poor twin that blind?!?! Love it. Can’t wait to see what happens tonight.
So IS Rich Twin really pregnant? Or is it another of her lies?
And now that you’ve said it, all I can see is Lea Thompson with black hair for Juliet.
Yes, she’s actually pregnant with Sad Sack’s baby!
I know , right? I can’t believe I didn’t see the Lea in her before!!!!
This show is so juicy!!! And, these recaps are so hilarious… Who can resist? I enjoy both immensely! Thank you, Heather!
Now, remember that Rich Twin has her own gun with which she threatened Gemma’s killer, but she shot him with his own gun and put it in his hand to make it look like a muuurrrrder/suicide and left the scene with her gun! Plus, she has money beccause she got $15,000 for the ring that she stole from Poor Twin and pawned, but didn’t pay the guy for the fake passport because he made it for “Cora Ferell” and now that Poor Twin is onto her, she asked that he make the fake passport under another alias!
Brilliant as always. I am seriously failing at holding in my laughter at work. I lost it at the camera phone pic slide. Who DID take that picture?! Maybe sad sack is also go go gadget sack and can extend his arm super long?
HA HA HA. I wish I had written that!
Lol!
*said in an Andy Samberg impersonating Nicolas Cage voice* Thank you, that’s high praise.
I haven’t even started reading this one but I just wanted to say….these Fug the Shows are NEVER too long! The longer the better. (that’s what she said) And once I get started reading, I can’t stop.
Ahhh, I really should know better by now: NEVER HAVE A SLUG OF COFFEE IN YOUR MOUTH WHEN READING HEATHER’S RECAPS OF REVENGE! (sigh) Yes, sadly, I did a spit-take all over my monitor when I read : “It’d be so much more moving if every third lie that came out of her mouth was accompanied by some frenzied yakking.” But it was worth every monitor-mopping moment . Thanks for all the yaks–of the more enjoyable kind.
Haha! Ringer! Not Revenge! By th way, I don’t know why but I enjoy Ringer more than Revenge even though everyone says that the latter is better.
D’OH! I meant Ringer, of course, NOT Revenge. But, dang it, they’re both really revenge-y and soap-y. Though the clothes are always SO much better on the latter hour of deliciousness.
Slide 15….Juliet looks exactly like Lorraine but with dark hair.
HSS really needs to get his hair cut. He just looks pathetic in every picture.
Gregory Harrison is one of my fave movie-of-the-week actors. I would LURVE to see him on Revenge, playing Victoria’s new man (mostly so he is on longer than the one and done revengees that show up a couple of times a month).
I must be getting old.
I totally didn’t see the girls/teacher gone wild thing coming.
And I have a feeling that ole Teach doesn’t want to split three ways and is going to off Tessa and make it look like Juliet did it.
Thank you so much for recapping the show this way. I had a baby right before the show went on hiatus, and it’s been next to impossible to catch the episodes when they air, much less watch them online. (Does anyone know if they’re still available on CW.com? Because my cable provider doesn’t have it on demand. Boo.)
Seriously, though, thank you for doing this. It’s the best — and funniest — way for me to stay in the loop so that I can watch and not be totally lost.
“While her back hair slowly thickens and becomes sentient…”
LOL! I about fell off my chair laughing at that one! Thanks!
I love this show and I love your recaps.
@ eee, The last 5 epiosdes are online at http://www.cwtv.com/cw-video/ringer. I know it’s never going to happen because this is on the CW but SMG is so overdue an Emmy. Just for the scene where Rich Twin has to kiss Ioan and look disgusted alone. Cause how is that even possible? I still want them to explain why she left hot ass Ioan for Sad Sack Henry. She was married to this amazing hot guy who seems to adore her so much he put up a ridiculously giant picture of her as the first thing anyone sees when they come into his apartment. What the hell is so great about Sad Sack? I have to say one of my very favorite things about sharing a name with Rich Twin is that I LOVE the way Ioan says my name. I want to figure out a way to use it as my voicemail greeting.
You should totally get a recording of Ioan answering the phone in the show on your cellphone by him saying different words that would piece togethet your voicemail greeting! Something like him saying “Sorry, but Siobhan is not available at the moment” Beeeeeep! It might take a lot of effort, but it would be so worth it! And, you have a beautiful name!
maybe you could start putting more than one photo on a slide, or just hiding all the pictures after the jump like you did in the last song post? i know you get more money every time someone clicks to a new page, but a 34 photo slideshow with two lines of text is just not worth the effort… I am just saying I would appreciate it if you didn’t make so many super long slide shows. 10 slides is about the limit, any higher and it’s ridiculous
It has nothing to do with getting more money (and I’m sorry you think we are that douchey). Trust me, I would love to only do short slideshows, because slideshows are a lot of work. But the thing is, we care about the content. So if we’re making long slideshows, it’s because we are trying not to half-ass something, because to me, half-assed stuff blows MORE for our readers than long slideshows do. (Also, there’s kind of a lot of text on each slide — more than two lines — so I think it’s pretty clear I’m trying to make it worth it for people.)
With Ringer, I don’t cram photos onto one slide that often — and I don’t edit them down as much — because I really do think the plot twists make it more fun this way.
@Sarah, I’m so grateful to Heather & Jessica for taking the time to watch the shows, take the pictures, make the slideshows and write funny, witty and clever commentary just for our amusement, that I would never complain about the length of the posts! I appreciate the time and effort they put into them and I can not thank them enough for giving us, their readers, their all! Thank you, FugGirls…. Your work is appreciated and you’re loved!
Two episodes with Save the Last Dance and still no “Cruel Intentions” reference?
Heh. I totally forgot he was in that. Next time!
It’s okay. I also just call him “Save the Last Dance” — which I am NOT ashamed to say I also saw in theaters (although maybe I should be). I’m glad there’s more to his role than just a driver. I was worried for him for a second — that he went from leading role to what I thought was a random cameo.
Also, I am happy for however many slides you want to include in your Fug the Show recaps. As long as they stay hilarious.
Nearly peed myself I laughed so hard! I think this is your best recap of Ringer YET!
