Don't Trust the B---- in Apt 23 "Dating Games..."

   
  So in this episode June and Mark are watching a dating show and eating burritos, which sounds like a typical/amazing Monday night to me BTW. Chloe convinces June that she needs to stop watching dating on TV and actually get into the game, so she takes June out. June meets a great guy names Daniel and Chloe creates a diversion so she can ask him out first. June's obviously upset because Chloe admittedly only wants the him because June does. James, who happens to have experience as a host of a Belgian dating show host, decides to turn the ordeal into a dating game. The Diet Dr. Pepper product placement (that's a mouthful) is actually pretty funny in this episode. They sponsored his Belgian show and his dating game with Chloe and June. He says "Diet Pepper loves everything I get involved with, James Van Der Beek and Diet Dr. pepper, DDP JVDP."
      The game requires the girls to take Daniel on ridiculous dates, first June takes him to a dungeon themed bar and then Chloe takes him on an awkward picnic with one chair, a raw egg and some booze. As a part of the game Chloe uses a "Mind Fork" on June, finally revealing that Mark has a crush on her. The "Mind Fork" does it's job and June is pretty flustered and off her game. In the next round James has the girls meet Daniel's great aunt at a restaurant so they can convince her to choose who she thinks is better for her nephew. James appears with a "Double Mind Fork". He told Daniel that they stole his aunt for her nursing home and he shows up to get her. Obviously he thinks they're both nuts, he says he knows about the game and he's done with both of them. Chloe later goes to talk to Daniel, explains that June never wanted to participate in the game and asks him to give her another chance, which he decides to do. But when he comes over she is getting ready to have a burrito and watch her dating show " Spring into May" but oh no, Daniel doesn't like burritos or share her excitement for cheesy dating shows. June realizes that she would have much more fun with her friend, and  goes to Mark's to watch the finale.  I really liked this episode, there was good material for all of the characters and I think it was one of the funnier story lines that I've seen for JVDB especially.
