Of course it was a rartings ploy! Anyone with a brain knows that playing the gay card sells on TV now-a-days. If I were a writer for a show on tv that would be one of my storylines most definitely! Whether people agree or not it ups the ratings. And I must say, the PALEX storyline was handled with brilliance. If you could rope a non-mainstream person such as myself who never cared about these types of storylines, your definitely doing something right! I believe with that all Paige has been through with the rape and all this is actually a not so fake dilemma on her part. And no, I don't think Lauren was "uncomfortable" in that sense. I'm sure it is just as uncomfortable for a straight person to do a heterosexual scene in front of a bunch of people and multiple camera's. I can barely speak in front of a small class without feeling like I'm gonna pass out.

I think their relationship WILL be persued (at least I want it to) because it's controversy and it attracts more viewers. They are running out of things, and remember this is the "go-thereist" season ever, so it's going to go past one episode. Even if it doesn't last much longer, in the The-N promo for this season, it shows Alex talking to Paige about being a lesbian so even if it ends there, that's still something. I don't know, I thought the whole Alex/Paige thing was hot and a nice twist to the season. IT SHOULDNT GO AWAY lmao |
