how to lose a guy in 10 days

Let me be upfront with you: I'm only posting about ABC's "How to Get The Guy" because, with 24 off the air and having only worked my way through half of season one of veronica mars, I am in danger of becoming a full time MTV whore between The Hills and Fresh Meat. Something's gotta give. And there is nothing you could take from me that I would not more willingly give than this show.

4 Single Ladies in San Francisco who have decided that THIS IS THE YEAR they find true love. Luckily, they each have convenient stereotypes for the purposes of keeping them straight: Everyone's Best Friend, Hobag, Militant and Closeted Lesbian, Hippie.

 Try to guess which is which.

Oh, but they're not just throwing them into the wild. No, no. They get love coaches! Thank christ! One of which is a Hal Sparks bootleg named JD.

 Never trust a grown man who still goes by initials.

Some of the techniques the love coaches come up with are "traditional" (online dating, speed dating) but some are just "utterly moronic" (have dinner with a blindfold on so you're not judging your date based on his looks!). Nearly all of them "make me want to kill myself and those around me."

I couldn't bring myself to do a full recap because I'm too busy bemoaning the demise of my gender, but there's a suitably snarky one here. Go with god.
