"Move On Cartwrights"



Welcome to Greek-vivor! Every week, we review the week's Greek episode and, in a Survivor-style system, award points to the Greek students best making their way through the college outback. The section ahead contains spoilers for this weeks episode.

Well, we knew this episode was coming. The "after-previous relationship, but pre-new relationship" episode where both Casey and Rusty have to deal with the fallout from last season. Casey came out looking a bit better than Rusty. In classic freshman form, his dating techniques were nail-biting to watch.

I continue to love watching the friendship between Dale and Rusty develop. And also we were introduced to a new character who maybe the new love interest for Rusty. I have to admit, I'd love to see Tina sitting through a Greek mixer and see what happens.

But let's look at the standings!







-Calls Casey on her personal issue with Omega Chi's. +2
-Invite Casey to help her fondle swimmers. Enjoyed so much, Casey is ready for lap two of the massage swim-athalon. +2
-Knows how to order around guys when she needs to. Get's Calvin to speak on
behalf of ZBZs. +2
-Single-handedly gets mixer together even with Casey kicking all the way there. Why wasn't Ashleigh president? +5


Net Change: +11
Sum: 117







-Convinces Omega Chi's to party with Zeta Beta's again. +3

Net Change:+3
Sum: 107







-Cappie's gets the flu. -2
-And pink eye. -2
-Does manage to sport that eyepatch pretty well. Maybe a permanent fixture? All he needs is a parrot in the next episode... +1
-Clearly drives everyone crazy when he's sick. -3
-Encounter with Scandanavian Helga manages to cure him up. Literally scared him well. +2
-Suggests threesome with Casey and Rebecca. Greek Fan Fiction websites suddenly overflowing with new content. +1

Net Change: -3
Sum: 109







-Manages to score Lambda Sig formal invites. Nothing like pimpin' out the ladies to rise up the social ladder. +1
-Called “Lizzy” after boardgame night suggestion. -2
-Given party patrol duty to keep her out of trouble. -2
-But gets her in more trouble. Gets snippy with Evan over the whole "sleeping with my little" thing and the whole "making out with Cappie" thing. -3
-Kind of gets the better of the argument. +1
-Showcases bizarre skill at being able to sleeps with makeup on without smearing. +2
-Takes Frannie off probation. +4

Net Change: -1
Sum: 86








-Commits ultimate sin in scouting chicks: the point. -3
-Asks out Emma for Rusty, revealing why he was such a hot commodity
on middle school campuses. +1
-Voted “Mostly likely to become impure” by his Purity Pledge group. +3
-Has "no control over his charisma." +1
-Goes for handhold with Tina, after hearing equally abrasive opinions. Shot down. -2
-Invites Tina into USAG. +2
-Tina tries to takeover USAG. -4


Net Change: -2
Sum: 97







-Loses out in vote to shut out ZBZ. -3
-Party patrol duty. -2
-With Casey. Argument ensues. Can't we all just get along? -3
-New sleeping buddy: whiskey bottle. J&B? Jack? Early Times? I just can't tell. +2
-Drunken kiss with Frannie. Not nearly as big a deal as they made it look in the season previews. -3
-Shot down for even drunken kiss! Can't a guy get a little love? -2
-Finally gets his game on, but just in time for Casey to be completely over him. Timing is not Evan's strong suit. And put on your frikin' shoes before you go outside, man. There was a party last night! You could cut your foot on something. -5


Net Change: -16
Sum: 78








-Secret meeting with Ashleigh. These behind-the-scenes manipulations are what we hated about her in the first place. -3
-Turns down Evan advance. +2

Net Change: -1
Sum: 103








-Obviously, orders from Halloween outfit catalog. First Nancy Drew in the library, now hot nurse in a frat hospital! +2
-Not doing so well with nurse duty. $200 can't even buy a replacement male nurse. -3
-Sent Helga to Cappie. +1
-Response to Cappie's threesome idea: “Who says you’re invited?” +3


Net Change: +3
Sum: 110







-Watches girls like the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs. "It closes it's book and takes it's last sip of coffee." -1
-Asks Dale to double date with him. Horrible idea, but it's an experience I for one wouldn't miss. +1
-Describes Moby Dick as “long and a little stiff.” Clearly, attended Michael Scott school of literature. -3
-Disastrous date. Dale even made more advances than he did? Seriously? Dale? Seriously?-5
-But gets second chance to have another disastrous date. +2
-Writes stalker-style message on whiteboard. -2
-With an indelible ink -3
-Rips off whiteboard off door. -3
-Replaces it whiteboard with another, includes a corkboard, push pins, coffee, music questionnaire and CD. Possibly overkill. -3
-Sends care package that includes teddy bear. -2
-Shut down by Emma. -2
-Has weird connection with Tina. Aha, I forgot that Rusty likes socially awkward girls who want to bring down the Greek system. +3


Net Change: -17
Sum: 69


Whoa! It finally happened! Cappie lost his first place standing and the girls are now on top (no suggestive puns intended). Ashleigh had huge gains this week as did Rebecca. Meanwhile, Evan plummeted toward the bottom of the list after getting into such a snippy fight in the middle of a mixer. But by far the biggest showing was Rusty who showcased some of those famous freshman moves, we've waited all season to see.

Next week, we look to have the parents on campus! Expect shakeups in the Rebecca/Cappie relationship and probably in the Casey/Rusty relationship as well (not a romantic relationship despite the way Rusty whistles at his sister. This isn't a trailer park). It looks as though Dale's family will be staying in the dorms so it'll be interesting to see if they do Bible study together before bed.

Ashleigh (117)+11
Rebecca (110)+3
Cappie (109)-3
Calvin (107)+3
Beaver (105)+2
Frannie (103)-1
Dale (97)-2
Casey (86)-1
Evan (78)-16
Rusty (69)-17


Thanks for reading! See you next week!

I loved it! Dale as "most likely to become impure but won't succumb"! He cracks me up even though he's a dork!

did you notice what Emma was wearing in that last scene? I saw that exact same sweater at target last season! (Rusty's slumming it if he's now dating girls who shop at target)

I like target. I'm not slumming it.
