Out of all the fall-finale ...
Question: Out of all the fall-finale cliff-hangers out there, the one that left me with more baited breath and heated anticipation than any other was not the heavily hyped
Heroes,
Prison Break or
Jericho, but
Ugly Betty. Now this is how you build suspense! Not only was the episode's drama countered with some of the funniest moments on TV this season (thank you, Becki Newton's Amanda, for a whole season's worth of hilarity, especially when you gag at the sight of Betty's unattractive shoes), but all of a sudden we were witness to one of the sweetest love stories on all of television. Betty and Henry from Accounting are perfect for each other and they make the cutest couple, but naturally something has to get in their way before they can be happy together. I hope the holdup isn't too long, especially if it means not ever having to see the annoying Walter again!
Answer: Thanks for the shout-out to another of my top-10 finalists and to America Ferrera, the cover girl for our "My Big Year" issue. I couldn't agree more, and how terrific is Christopher Gorham as Henry? I'm rooting for him, too, but how smart of the writers to make Walter, creepy though he may be, such a thoughtful beau in so many other ways. Betty knows where her heart lies, not to mention her sweaty palms (which she'd probably prefer I didn't), but imagine the pain involved in dumping her geeky neighborhood boyfriend for the sweet nerd from the big city.
