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.
I beginning to feel like the show is dragging a little bit. Maybe that's just because it's hit mid-season, but I must admit I'm not feeling the week to week draw I was last season. But on the whole this episode fit solidly with the season. It was a Cartwright-centric episode, with no info whatsoever on the Omega Chi folks. We saw Casey well-up with tears, not once but twice! Besides drawing the eye of all male viewers, Spencer Grammer is actually a pretty good actress. I'm surprised we're not seeing her appear more frequently in front of the camera. She seems like a shoe-in for the next mindless "hot-girl-detective-solves-mysterious-murder-while-being freaked-out" flick. Heck if Paris Hilton can get killed in one, why not Spencer Grammer>
But let's look at the standings!
-Single significant appearance on the show manages to drag Casey into further disfavor with Casey's parents. No reason to get all cocky just because you're winning Greekvivor... -2

All in all an interesting week. Next week, we look to have the Greek Games including a Mr. Purr-fect competition. Look to meet Casey's new love interest in the next one. I must say, Casey doesn't do as well when she's got a boy to use and abuse, this might not work out in her best Greekvivor interests.

All Casey's clothes were from Anthropologie! She should get extr points for that!
somehow I doubt greg notices that stuff...I ditto everything on Spencer Grammer man. Way hot.
I don't think Greek's gotten worse, though.
I thought you were never going to post! Yeah, I don't think Greek's going downhill. It's just in that awkward midseason stage every show goes thru. Give it time!
