Waterlulz Road S6 EP 18: Waterloo Road Struts Its Stuff

(I finally did something!)

Last episode, Lauren and Amy strolled into school looking like two girls who have seen one too many Madonna music videos and everyone pointed and laughed at how awful they looked. Karen however, decided that the kids might as well have a fashion show to express their fashion talents. Oh here we go. Ronan thought this would be a great opportunely to show off his fashion and make up skills to charm the socks off Vicki, who he snogged last episode. The young lady described it as a "I waz lyke well hung, u know like" snog but then tried to soften the blow by agreeing that it was a "friend snog". Ronan was gutted, but he's Ronan, a charming young man and he won't stop until he meets his goal. Out of the blue came his mentor, Will Mellor of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps fame, out of his shiny, fancy car with his white shirt, leather jacket and sunglasses, the sort of look that women seem to like, particularity Vicki who quivered at the knees instantly.

Adanna didn't like the whole event because it "objectified" the kids (She truly is a diet Kim) and especially after he showed up. You see, they had a bit of history in which they hooked up and you can figure out the rest and I had the sneaky feeling that some man from her past was going to pop up after she said she's been married 3 times. Anyway, the writers made Vicki a girl with low self esteem of her own appearance, but since Ronan cares about her, he got his good ol' buddy Dan to try and make her cheer up about herself (Quite cliche) and she was given a fancy dress and even some lunch! Vicki was infatuated by Dan's charms and went in for the snog with Adanna popping up to immediately think the worse, especially after the whole Bex/Hodgy affair. "I don't date kids!" he proclaimed! Crikey, an adult that doesn't like children, something that's quite rare in the Waterloo Road universe.

 Couldn't help but laugh with Ronan discovered Vicki and Dan hugging when he had make up on and flashing his bare chest.
Miss McDonald stormed off and she was clearly embarrassed by the whole affair, even offending Ronan's handy work. Vicki hugged Dan as a thank you, but oh dear, cue Ronan to assume that he was trying to get it on with Vicki. She was upset and after realising how the effort that Ronan put in turning a picnic blanket into a dress, she decided to wear it and boy, she looked fab-u-lous in it. So there you go, Ronan scores the girl he wanted to take advantage of at the party. At least he did it by winning her heart, not waiting until she's pissed and a bit worse for wear.

Cesca and Jonah weren't worrying about being caught out this episode, but rather what they should do about the foetus inside Cesca. She was adamant about aborting their baby, much to the sadness of Jonah who begged that she reconsidered. But all it took to change her mind in the end was a soppy and cheesy call from her hunk to make her think twice about the abortion and for her reward, he proposed to her in the suspiciously always empty art room. Oh wow. Talk about moving too fast, Jonah. By snogging Jonah's face off, she meant yes and they celebrated by having a session in the room, but oh no, cue Ronan to pop up and be completely gob smacked about seeing his mate baring his chest and Cesca in a tank top looking all guilty. Oh aye aye, seƱor.

 Waterloo Road pay homage to The Deer Hunter.
Denzil is up to no good with Kyle who are both doing dangerous things for money. What's the dangerous event this episode? Downing large bottles of fizzy drinks. Hardcore. One girl (Can't remember her name) opposed this reckless behaviour and couldn't see the fun in boys pissing themselves because they can't handle chugging bottles of cheap lemonade. So with the bets in, it was Harry, Denzil, Kyle and some random boy competing together to win some money and to see who has the largest bladder. Harry pulled off his signature move and so did the extra to set up Kyle v Denzil, a real Frost v Nixon duel. Kyle pissed himself so Denzil won, most to the disapproval of that girl, but he didn't care because he won some money. He did however spew up near the fashion show stage, which is a shame because if it were on the catwalk, it would have certainly livened up the show with girls in heels attempting to dodge the sick while looking like they fell out of a wardrobe of charity clothes.

Grantly reads extracts of Katie Price's new book.

Ruby was given a push from Grantly to write a novel and she attempted to write a romance novel. Grantly proof read what she did so far and from his description, we could see it was all sex with no plot, rather like your average porn film. Ruby enlisted Grantly to help her turn this bargain bin soft porn novel into a Jane Austin novel which if Grantly was writing, would have some sarky character that mutters a one liner every scene. Certainly would have liven up Pride and Prejudice.

Guess Who's Back? No, It's Not Slim Shady.

Yeah, I am. Finally. Well, 2 weeks off school and you can sit there and go "Yeah, fucking yes, no school, nice weather" but then it suddenly hits you that you've got AS Level exams after the break and a stack load of revision to do during the break. Brilliant. High workload when it finally gets warm. It's like we have been teased, we can go outside and play in the sun, but then suddenly feel bad that you playing football in the park is you neglecting your studies. Tut tut me.

Anyway, I'm back on the blog. I've missed out on so many blog entries other the past few weeks which could have pulled in more views, but no, coursework is a top priority. I have semi watched Waterloo Road episodes 18-20, will be typing my failure commentaries when I get the chance, not really thinking of doing the individual commentary on each one episode when I could just condense the 3 episodes into one commentary. Lightens the workload and lets me experience more of this warm weather we're getting lately.

From what I've seen of series 6, I doubt I would be watching the next series of Waterloo Road because it's got to a point where I'm purely watching to produce half arsed commentary thingys on the episodes, trying to produce a decent joke or two when I can't. First half of the series I enjoyed doing because I didn't feel like I had any pressure on me and didn't have much of a workload, but blogging about the second half of the series has taken its toll on me and I've come out of it thinking I'm no good at this writing lark. The hiatus has made me reflect on why the recent entries have been awful-ish. It's due to pressure from two sources; schoo as I've been trying to boost my grades and also, "fan" pressure. This blog has always been a side project of mine and isn't that much of a high priority, so I wasn't going to fart out top notch posts when I've got coursework, revision and various other issues to deal with. Sort of a shame because I hate disappointing people and I have recently so I put my hand up and apologise. Obviously, you must understand and possibly sympathise with me, I don't know.

Always, Media coursework almost finished, needs another day of work and I'll be satisfied. Well, all but the trailer, since I had to record most of the narration and came to the realisation I sound like an unattractive nerd that plays World of Warcraft all day. Ewww, I know. Sadtimes. English Language coursework is currently at a C grade, 1 or 2 marks of a B grade, but I'm pushing for a A grade so if I get a C in the exam, I should get a B overall. I always put my best effort in coursework and get the highest mark I can possibly get so it acts as a safety net if I cock up as bad as an Arsenal centre back. Economics is going... well not great, it seems what I've been taught has gone through one ear and out the other. BUGGER. But good news for Politics, a subject I have high hopes for, a subject that I could easily get a B grade in since you only need 70/100 to get a B, which is awesome. Last 6 exam questions I've done have all been marked as B grades so if I can do that in the exam, that would be superb.

So yeah, back on the blog now. I'll stop typing now since I realise that I've been rambling like I've been talking about electoral systems to a person who doesn't give a shit and I'm sure you would probably agree.

K, bye.
