 stefan  + damon = pissed off brothers all the time.
i think it is safe to say that those two hate each other.
i mean, if two people try to kill one another, that classifies as hate right?
mmmkaythanxbye!
BTW...stefan tried to drug damon...but damon caught on. drat!
 
 
 
elena hears a knock at the door...

 oh, it's just her boyfriend stefan

so she invites them in and they srsly make out. like..."daaaang gina!" type of making out. it was good times. but then stefan has to stop kissing abruptly, and elena thinks it's because of his virtue so she says, "you remind me of a character in my favorite book...his name is edwarrr..." but stefan cuts her off right thuuur and says, "um. no. i'm just thirsty. get me a drink devil woman." {thirsty!? baha...how punny} but she doesn't get him a drink, she asks him how he looks in a suit...and he says, "look at this piece of hottness, what do you think?" and she says, "i think you should show me your abs....i mean, i think you should be my date to a really lame party." so he agrees.
to the ab-showing-part. obvi!
 
 
and damon is pissed...

because he wanted to show her his abs first...i mean, he wanted to go to the party with her. sucks to be him because he has to go with this skank who wears grandma sweaters and weird scarves.

and elena was like, "biiiiiiiaaaaatch please"
those are my abs...i mean that's my man.

and it made that girl standing behind elena blush...
so i am pretty sure elena is ok now.
just taking a wild guess. srsly.

 so while stefan and caroline the skank are dancing...
elena and damon have a convo...

now, let's discuss the episode!
what did you think of this week's epi?
what do you think will happen next week?
when do you think elena will get a clue and figure out that stefan's abs are just too firm to actually be human so he must be a vampire?

i haven't watched yet, but i can't wait! stefan is the hottness. indeed.

Summer @ B is for Brown said...

i have yet to watch either but i love your recaps. i am drooling and you crack me up!

Melissa said...

Mmm my fav part is how every two seconds Damon and Stefan are wandering around shirtless... stabbing each other and what not. Its amazing. But I gotta say... horseface girl... the uptown guy she was into (cant remember his name) - his mom is a Biaaatch. And I hate her. ALOT. Everything she said I wanted to smack her.. through the tv. It was pretty impressive. And Horseface girl.. Eck... The less I see of her the better. But I have a feeling that Stefan cant keep up the charade much longer... Elena is curious like a cat. And jumping him every two seconds - when she's not totally not trusting him. She's got major trust issues.

Melissa said...

Oh and the mention of the hideous scarfs and grandma sweaters. Seriously... so on point.

mercurial mary said...

Elena: Tell me about yourself.
Stefan: No. Damon sux.
Elena: You're mysterious. Give me a clue!
Stefan: No. Damon sux.
Elena: Thbbbbbb!
Stefan: It's all Damon's fault!
Elena: I'm sorry. I shouldn't question the abs, I mean the mystery.
Stefan: Don't ask me about the basement, then!

Bettina said...

Oh!Ilove your blog!!!!It´s perfect!

Lauren W said...

May I just say that Damon was especially witty this episode? First with the seriously amusing Twilight banter, then his comment right after he stabs Stefan... I loved it :)

whitney said...

I literally laughed out loud when Damon was reading Twilight. Funniest thing ever.

Tyler's mom: I really dislike her. RUDE!

Elena has to figure out soon. Right? She has to know something is up.

I still love me some Stefan. And his abs.

Marlie said...

LOL! like for real! Dying laughing in my office! Horse face girl is on my nerves. That storyline needs to go away. Her face drains my aura. Anywho! Great post!

♥Karm said...

LMAO! wow. great recap. I srsly do not care for Vicki now... me thinks Damon should just suck all her blood already. That way Elena's brother can finally be normal-ish and I'll have one less charcter to yell at. But, Stefan is a hottie. I wish they sorta stuck to the book though.

Lauren said...

Dude. Vicki needs to get out of the picture. She is such a player and I hate it!

You are all right, Tyler's mom is a stupid idiot. I will kick her face.

Damon WAS witty...loved it.

Elena and Stefan made out for real in this episode! Like for reaaaal! Who loved?

Mailen Denise said...

Alright, so...
Last nights epi: LOVED IT!
Next week's epi: Uhh, Stefan will show his hawwwt abs sumore. And the psycho town with witches and vampires (I am still waiting for Tyler to turn all werwolfy, then we will have a Bella Swan quote from Eclipse!) will have a lil' chase around with fire and pitchforkes... oh! the suspense.

Jen said...

You're right, so many things from last night...I don't even no where to begin!
The Twilight reference was predictable, but awesome.
Bonnie is really getting on my nerves. First she's all I hate Stefan he's like death and maybe evil. Then she's like oh wait, no he's cool. Then she's like he is totally secretive and manipulative! Then she's like, wait, oops sorry for planting doubts in your mind Elena. Let the hotness be, girl!
Damon is such an awesomely bad guy. I loved the line about him being a stud for eternity.
I love Stefan and his abs, but he needs to tell Elena the truth soon before something happens with Damon. Seriously, when is she going to find out?!
Horse face was getting on my nerves last night too. Tyler is embarrassed by you, we get it! He's not that great anyway! Why do you keep forcing the issue? Just go be with pot-boy.
Aunt Jenna and her boy toy and their banter was pretty lamespice.
Stefan and Elena were super cute though,as always.
Oh, yeah. And the parents KNOW! Did not see that one coming. Are they gonna get their pitchforks and run the vamps out of town? And what was that crystal?
Great recap! Can't wait for next week!!!

Nancy Face said...

Gah! I didn't get to watch because I had to do motherly junk like cutting Zach Face's hair...and knitting me an ugly sweater.

Chris and Gina said...

Nancy Face, did you use Zach Face's hair to knit your sweater? Cuz that'd be awesome! :)

P.S. Husbands named Chris/Kris are the best kind of husbands.

Lula! said...

Heh-heh-heh...you said, "firm."


BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Please love my pubescent self.

I loved this episode. We got a lot of Stefan & Damon's backstory, and we learned that the town members are not completely clueless. They're all ready to get their Buffy the Vampire Slayer on.

Some points:

*Caroline is HOTspice...but her sweater was so 90210, circa 2004. If she wears a babydoll dress next, I'll puke.

*Bonnie can light candles with her mind! Doo-de-doo-doo. She must be...like...a WITCH. Or something.

*The whole Salvatore Brothers Are From The Civil War Era arc is awesome. Way better than the Italian Renaissance period. Which is how Smith originally wrote them...

*Aunt Jenna's ex-dude is NOT cute. Elena done lost her mind. And yes, he's totally up to something, but those 2 are so boring that I simply don't care. I hope Damon eats one of them...really soon.

*Vicki was all, "TYLER, I WANT YOUR BODY!" And Tyler was all, "I'm torn between my attraction to your skanky self and my parents' wishes that I not date a whorey horse face!" So then Vicki's all, "PEACE ON YOUR GREASE!!!"...and goes to Jeremy for a straight up boo-tay call. Girl has NO class.

*Elena was wearing a bumpit.

*My favy part in the entire episode:

Damon: "This is John Varvatos, dude. Dick move!"

Awesome. So hot.


Loooooooooovie your recap, Lauren. You are my hero!

Miss Marie said...

So excited to watch it... Get to tonight :)

Adam and Nicole said...

I am totally getting into this show now. At first I was a little iffy about it, but now I am hooked.
I was totally wondering about Caroline's grandma sweater the whole time! What, they couldn't get just a regular cardigan, they had to get the ugliest thing ever, and it didn't even fit her right!?
What is with Horse Face being such a whore face?! Is she like that in the book? Yikes!
Tyler's mom = BEAST!
Other than that I was totally into it.
I think Elena is going to figure it out soon, she is too nosy not to.

thekitchenette said...

I concur with Lula. Best line of the night = "This is John Varvatos, dude. Dick. Move."

HorseFace is still looking horsey. Congrats.

I myself was totally wondering how that bump got there. What is this Bump It you speak of? I'm totally going to research (read: Google) this now.

Christin said...

I wonder if they are sticking with the book's timeline (you know since they haven't really stuck to the book with anything else). 'Cause I mean I don't think the secret can last much longer... (Although I was surprised by how early Elena found out in the book. Not sure why I was, but I was).

But I'm loving the show! And seriously, it's filmed like an hour from my house. I'm soooo tempted to go stalk the hawtness (but then I gently remind myself that I am 27 and not some crazy fangirl! We'll see how long that logic lasts...)

Meghan O said...

I loved last nights episode!

I think they've been listening to us by putting #paulwesleyabs in every episode so far. But I do have to say I'm loving Damon shirtless, hawtt!!

My roommate was like, "I think two more episodes until Elena finds out about them being vampires" I kind of agree with her. I say either next week or def the week after.

What the heck Bonnie setting candles on fire just by looking at them, that's almost as bad as fortune telling beer bottles.

I <3 this show a lot!! And I <3 your recapping just as much Lauren =D

Connie said...

I just ♥ed it! & this post! ha ha!

Nancy said...

I liked this episode. I think they keep getting better. The ending shocked me though that they know there are vampires. Next week I'm not sure what will happen, I'm excited to watch though. I think Elena will figure out by the 6th episode that Stefan is a vampire or so I read. Loved the post!

Courntey said...

My fav part was when Damon stabbed Stefan and he had to remove his shirt. mmmm...abs..and is horse face as skanky in the books?

Stefan=love

Harlem's A Hatin said...

I love this show! Damon is my fav.

JT, Britt &amp; Bella said...

Horse face girl was especially horsey last night!

I like when the mom said, well thats what happens when you bring trash to the party.

Ya duh! Cause she is a horse and smells like horse poo poo! Sickataing!

It is official Lauren! These posts are SO much better than the show. I mean don't get me wrong I love the show...but I love this EVEN more!

sarah said...

i wanna know what was up with the crystal.

and if the historical society people knew about vampires wouldn't they be a little curious why two boys with the exact same names as the first vampires showed up right when the killings started?!? c'mon now!

i think next week should just be a whole hour of damon & stefan being shirtless. anyone agree?

sarah said...

ps. who else things that aunt jenna looks like she's the same age as elena? is she supposed to be in the book? maybe i should read them....

Jen said...

*raises hand* sarah, I so thought the same thing since the first episode! No, she is supposed to be older in the books. I pictured her as much older.

Lauren said...

Hmmm.. lets hear more about the books. Is the show better?
Should I download the little program so I can watch on CWtv or
should I read the books?
Lauren, dish on the books!

Brenn said...

Um, Lauren. I clickety-clicked on over to your photo blog, and lo and behold, it was GONE!!! :( You are such a talented photog, and I am really sad taht you don't have your site up anymore. I am an aspiring photog myself,and loved getting ideas and inspiration from your pictures.

So, know that you are fabulous, okay?

ps -- I'm really glad horsey-face girl didn't get much air time -- eeeeeewwww <3

Becky said...

I think the show is better than the books. I still love Damon better than Stefan, just like when I read the books, even though he is an evil, killing, good for nothing. I think Stefan is way more whipped than Edward!! I think that is why I like Damon better.
Love your updates, Lauren!! They crack me up!

Allison said...

Dang, I need to start watching this show soon, otherwise I'll be so behind!... except for your updates, of course! :D

pook555 said...

OMG I love your recaps, they are way better than the show (which I am now addicted to thanks to your recaps). I have to say I'm loving Damon, just because he has the best lines and clothes (and yes, I agree that Stefan is way more whipped than Edward, but I digress). And horsey girl, yep, it's like the show goes into snooze mode when either she or druggie brother appear. But can I ask why skanky Caroline's mom THE SHERIFF who apparently (from previews) is aware of the existence of vampires doesn't notice her daughter's bizarre behavior (nevermind the fashion choices) or that she wears weird scarves ALL THE TIME???? And I love how Stefan and the Salvatore relative guy put Damon in with the secret cryptonite flowers that relative guy says Damon will kill him about - dun dun dunnn - waiting for relative to be killed when Damon escapes (duh!) next week LOL!!

Erica &amp; Albert said...

I own that grandma sweater, and that scarf. Thanks a lot for making fun of it Lauren!

just kidding :)

lilnelablack said...

So last night's episode was def the best so far... & it looks even better next week!
Just a lil story: I live in GA where they're filming Diaries & the other day a girl called into the radio station to say that she was stopped at a redlight a couple of nights ago & some guy pulled up next to her, rolled his window down, & told her that her lights were off. He drove off & just then she realized... THAT WAS DAMON! So she caught up with him at the next light & asked him if he was in fact Damon & he was like "Yep" and flashed her his script saying that he was headed to the set to film...
The reason I tell this story: I will be spending every night from now on joyriding around town...
Who wants to join me??!!

erin said...

all i know is i want elena's hair & i want to see more steamy make out sessions from stefan.
thats all.

Elyse said...

Okay so the stabbing scene was my favorite because seeing abs in the first five minutes is always amazing. Second favorite part happened at my house...my dad and I were talking and I was saying that I had to go watch Vampire Diaries. Then my awesome Daddy O says I'm going to watch it with you because I really like that show. Haha, Daddy O is awesome. Anywho, I'm thinking Damon is going to bust out of his vervain prison and kick some major butt. That's pretty obvious, but still. I think Elena is going to figure out the whole Vampire thing in the next couple of weeks. Maybe just in time for the Halloween episode?

uhski said...

I'm not even watching the show because your recaps are so completely accurate and much more entertaining. SRSLY. Love, Sarah.

becky said...

i have no knowledge of the vampire diaries at all and i don't think i want to because it's probably not as funny as your re-caps and i'd be disappointed.

Krysten Hartenstein said...

HA! Loved the review, lol. Both brothers are YUMMY. And I'm psyched that Boone from Lost plays Damon - I liked him on Lost (minus the whole "I'm in love with my stepsister" thing).

RatalieNose said...

Stefan makes me wanna makeout.
Him and Elena make me sqeeel!

Christin said...

lilnelablack - ME ME ME!! Let's cruise! LOL I live about an hour away, but seriously I will come stalk with you.... ;)

Christin said...
