Big love

I'm so mad at myself for not doing my research. You can watch full episode of "High School Reunion" (TV Land, Wed., 7:00) online the next day. URGH!!! I can't believe I missed that! Now that I'm caught up, let's discuss Wednesday's show.

It's late-bloomer Rachelle's time to shine when she's selected to get a hall pass. She immediately sets her sights on Joe, the class hunk, and hopes that their time alone will lead to a love connection. Pause it: How many times is she going to tell us that she just got out of a long relationship with a controlling spouse? Jodi, Joe's high school sweetheart, was seething with white hot hate at him for once again making her look stupid while he runs off with Rachelle. Apparently Joe was quite the ladies man in high school and did a lot of running around behind Jodi's back. Still, Jodi came to rekindle the flame. Joe, not so much. He proclaims they are better off as friends then spends the day making out with Rachelle in a lagoon. Jodi later bonds with class nerd Cyndi, telling her that being popular wasn't as glamorous as one would believe. Pause it: Try telling that to the kid who got beat up after school today ... but I know what she means.

I don't know why Jodi wants to hook back up with Joe, especially now that we see how he treated her in high school. I thought I'd be with my high school sweetie forever, too, but after one semester of college I saw how many fish were out there and believe me, there were a plenty!

Meanwhile, troublemaker/borderline racist Joe also snags a hall pass and asks Summer Girl Elena to accompany him to the beach. Elena takes the date and promises to use the time telling Joe that his antics are no longer funny. She tells him he has diarrhea of the mouth and that he's constantly saying ignorant things. His response: "Go f%#& yourself". John says he doesn't want to change and Elena proclaims wants nothing more to do with him. I'd already written him off as a lost cause in the first episode after he refused to apologize to Eric for his homophobic comments.

Do you remember your first high school boyfriend? I'm not talking about first loves, but the first guy you seriously dated. Do you know where they ended up? Would you date them again if given the chance? Me? Not just no, but HELL NO!
