Not another Audrina/Justin-centric episode! With all the drama surrounding these two, you have to wonder what’s going on with Lauren. For another week, she lays low.

Audrina spends most of the episode talking with her coworker about Justin (surprise!). The duo sit in on a studio recording with singer Brandy (shameless album plug confirmed by her appearance on “the after show”). But anway, Justin shows up to the studio and more or less tells Audrina he wants to be with her exclusively. I think? I don’t know. I think we are all a little confused. His words are anything but straightforward.

Audrina, for some reason I will never understand, believes Justin’s ill-planned speech. She breaks things off with a tearful (aw!) Corey. Looks like Justin Bobby will live to see another episode.

Lauren is talking with Brody about Stephanie and still insists on sticking up for her. Regardless of her sometimes sad obliviousness, she remains a good friend. Brody isn’t convinced however and is willing to argue with Steph’s boyfriend Cameron if need be. Cameron is also ready to spar.

The sparring, however, never occurs. Instead, we get to see some terrible editing. They make it seem like Brody and Lauren are at the same table as Stephanie and Cameron at the club, but they are clearly not. Come on, you couldn’t edit it any better? Either way, that storyline went nowhere.

Stephanie meets up with Speidi for brunch and they continue their dislike for Cameron. Stephanie lets them get to her and starts doubting her relationship. Are you seriously letting those two give you relationship advice, Steph?

I can’t wait for next week when we get to see some real overdue drama as Heidi gets fired and Audrina moves out! Stay tuned!
