As I’m sure y'all know, there are several ways to eat an Oreo. The totally boring way is to chomp the whole thing in one bite. Another option is to separate the cookie, leaving the frosting for the post-cookie coma. Yet another way is to scrape the creamy parts from multiple Oreos and throw away the cookies because they’re really nothing more than a frosting delivery service.
What does all this have to do with the season finale of The City, you ask? Well, just when I was beginning to feel like The City had been giving us a lot of cookies and no creamy frosting, the finale revealed that they’ve been saving ALL of the frosting from literally THOUSANDS of Oreos for the end of the season. Detox verdict: delish!
With unmatched style and poise, Whitney tied up all the loose ends of her season arc, putting Olivia in her place, giving Jay a swift kick down under and even getting some serious face time with Diane Von Freaking Furstenberg! This episode had more girl power than a Tyra Banks talk show featuring a duet by Posh Spice and Miley Cyrus.
Whitney, Olivia, Allie and that other girl: It’s been one hell of a ride... Too much frosting. Gonna puke.
Pack your thong and plenty of sunscreen, cuz Detox is heading to Miami! Yep, that’s right. In honor of The City’s desperate exciting change of scenery, me and the gang decided to follow Whitney Port’s crew to the land of South Beach. But not before taking a delicious photo shoot inspired by Allie’s edible sweater campaign. Seriously, what was with that male model biting her clothing constantly? That was about as sexy as a cheeseburger ... Am I right, Allie?
No guests stopped by the set tonight, mostly because we were out of town, but we’ve got HUGE things planned for later this week, including a semi-homemade visit from my favorite Food Network star. So catch up with the latest in City Detoxing and then make sure to watch allll week long. You won’t regret it!
As hard as it is to believe, not everyone appreciates Kelly Cutrone's unique brand of incorrigible bluntness. And on next week's City, Whitney's People's Revolution boss lady ruffles some feathers (mainly Allie's) by laying into the Diesel/hair model and then totally refusing to take her words back.
Natch, repercussions ensue (Whitney worries while Allie sulks and Olivia tilts her head back in mwa-ha-has), but it looks like L-Word Erin's got more on her mind than sticky buns and Kelly's lack of diplomacy. Like the fact that her (shirtless!) "ex" is hanging out in her apartment, telling her he "had a good time last night."
Sure, she could use a sandwich (preferably a Subway Footlong), but newish City cast member, Allie, is one breathtakingly beautiful girl and certainly qualifies as model material. Here are some other things we learned about Allie from watching Episode 6 and its After Show:
1) She's a total pushover very forgiving person.
2) Her real name is Honey I'msorry.
3) She's perfectly willing to shoot an ad campaign that promotes bad hygiene and channeling your inner serial killer. Watch her soaking in a tub of probably-horse-but-possibly-human hair, all in the name of trendy, overpriced denim:
Plus, after the jump, hear straight from the horsie's mouth what she thought about Catarina and whether she's moved on since the whole cheating rumor fiasco.

On tonight's City, Allie and Adam's relationship suffered a major blow when some chick named Catarina announced that she and Adam, like, TOTALLY made out. As a result, Whitney preemptively picked a fight with her boyfriend Jay, and warned him to never, ever "do anything like that" to her.
Why? Turns out, Whitney's a firm believer in the transitive property (ah, 6th grade math!). Her hypothesis? If your friends are a reflection of who you are, and your BFF/roomie Adam is a total sketchypants, then you, too, must be sketchy-by-association.
The only problem with this theory? We're not seeing the empirical evidence. Even assuming Adam DID step out on his girlfriend, that doesn't mean Jay's getting ready to follow suit. And FYI, chewing out your man for cheating before the fact is less a preventative measure than it is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
+ Think Whit jumped the gun by punishing Jay for his roomie's bad behavior? Or is she right that you are who you're friends with? Take our poll and let us know whether Whitney came down too hard on her (guilty until proven innocent?) bf.
Anyone else confused by Olivia's bizarro/anti-"social" behavior on this week's City? First, girl shames Whitney for passing on the latest Adam/Allie goss (sniffing "Whitney, you're an adult" and "I'm not in high school"), then, five seconds later, she sits around and giggles as her boy Nevan trashes the "fedora"-filled guestlist at Jay's downtown/uptown mixer.
So what's the real deal? Is Olivia a prim and proper prissyface sophisticated socialite who's just not that into talking behind people's backs? Or is she a behind-closed-doors gossiper with a superiority complex? Leave your opinion in the Comments section and check out our Maturity Meter below!
Tonight, we watched as Adam's maybe-infidelity drove his girlfriend to tears -- and very nearly drove her away for good. Fortch, Allie (perhaps swayed by her man's monotone "I'm sorry honey"s?) decided to disregard her eye-opening convo with The Other Woman -- and pretend the whole thing never happened.
Think she made the right call? We're not completely convinced! Below, five reasons why Allie should consider changing her relationship status from "It's Complicated" to "Totally, 100% Single."
