Love that Homer Simpson (or the guy who does his voice) is the headmaster of the school. And yes, good twist that others find Ari offensive; really grounds him.

I agree about Vince -- he's GOT to express more angst.

Drama storyline was lackluster, but I'm sure it'll improve over the next few shows. Yeah, Turtle, while the smallest part, is in many ways the truest character, if that makes sense.

Oh -- what was up with that chick at Billy's house, trying to sound all sexy with her I-took-so-much-valium-I-couldn't-be-bothered-to-put-pants-on voice?

Sorry Folks. Did not enjoy this episode at all.

Billy Walsh did it again for me. Totally whacked. This is the reason I didn't understand the guys thinking he was a Genius. Too eccentric. Genius=Insanity.

Dramas antics are way over the top. He's a modern Felix Unger, only more extreme. Very unbelievable or at least unlikeable.

The only thing almost making this episode seem somewhat real is the reason for the Gold son not getting into the school. Truly believable that his personality is offensive to others.

E may be coming into his own, but a vacation in Paris when they have no money? Not too good a job of managing.

Vinnie is still Vinnie. Not too integral of the plot lines surrounding him.

A few Commercials seem to be in order. Flat busted? In fact, should be somewhat in the owing category.

Turtle is the only one I thought was himself, and what this show started out as.

Still a good show though.

Okay, you guys knew this question was coming, so I'll get it out of the way. Did anyone recognize the girl who came out of the portable toilet during the party? Maybe her name was shown at the end during the credits, but I missed them. Every episode has at least one girl who is off the charts in beauty. Last week it was Sofia. This week it is Port-O-Potty girl. Anyone know her, background, etc? Sorry to be such a caveman. Thanks.

And what kind of car does Eric drive??? I was drooling over it the entire episode.

The whole thing with Ari's son (where the heck has he been?) is kinda ridiculous. And I hope things aren't done with Turtle and that girl. I was expecting them to explore that further. Seems like they keep starting then dropping storylines this season...

I LOVED this episode! I think the acting was so realistic (Turtle talking about Myspace, for example) and it was very well done.

One thing that did bother me, though, like everyone else said, is that throughout the entire series only Ari's daughter has been primarily mentioned as a child of the Gold family. They only brought Sarah, the daughter, to Temple, for example. The only time they've ever shown Ari's son was way back in the middle of Season 2 when Ari takes the painting off the wall. Besides that, this episode actually craved me wanting more and brought me back to Season 2-type Entourage, which was the best. So far, season 4 has been absolutely amazing and I CANNOT wait until next week and the rest of the season to see how it all pans out.

BTW, so I guess that's it for Kelly, Turtle's GF? That didn't last long. Also, Sloan and E are "taking a break", which isn't that bad considering E's girlfriend in the beginning of season 2 (her name slips my mind at the moment) was way hotter.

My question for the masses here, though. In the previews for next week's episode, E mentions to Ari/Vince about selling the film to Cannes? WHat is Cannes, exactly?
