I'm not your sidekick

I haven't finished watching last night's episode of The City, but there was a gem of a moment that made me laugh out loud. So far, this show is about as interesting as season one of The Hills (aka, not very). Whitney, a secondary character in The Hills, has surrounded herself with a posse of her own secondary characters.

One of them, however, seems determined to break free from supporting role and refused to play her part, totally confusing poor Whitney. When Whitney wanted to dish on the drama of her boyfriend's roommate's did-he-or-didn't-he-hook-up-with-skanky-girl-while-his-model-girlfriend-was-out-of-town behavior, Olivia put a stop to it.

Instead of indulging Whitney, Olivia said that they're all adults, that she should basically stay out of it and that she didn't want to discuss other people's business. Olivia obviously has no idea that, without the leading questions and the long, silent stares, there would be no show! But I enjoyed the wrench she threw into the conversation and seeing Whitney whimper, "Oh, I just wanted to talk to someone about it."
