Now, I do agree that Jenna said some things she shouldn’t have to Owen afterward. This is one of the things I hate about Jenna: she doesn’t think things through, automatically thinks the first thought she has about a situation is right, and therefore leaps right into it without thinking. If she were more open-minded and rational about things, she would have gone to Owen and asked him why exactly he hooked up with Tamara after hooking up with her when he knows they are best friends and it could cause a problem. If she wanted to be sure he got the picture, she could make it clear to him that if – and that is the key word: IF – he did hook up with Tamara to get back at or hurt Jenna, he needed to cut it out immediately.

But what made me turn against Tamara – I was literally yelling “b****!” at the screen every time she appeared during this episode – was how awful she treated Jenna when Jenna was trying to apologize. She had no reason to be pissed at Jenna and, even if she felt pissed off, it’s seriously backstabbing to disregard your best friend’s apology. Jenna realized she’d made a mistake – by hurting Tamara, hopefully, and not by keeping Owen a secret – and was not only openly admitting that, but trying to make up for it.

This whole episode has made me think back and wonder if the writers of Awkward. are seriously trying to make people hate Tamara. Looking back at past episodes, it is clear that Tamara isn’t really a good BFF or simply friend. She’s turned her back on Jenna when Jenna needed her most – something a friend never does – dated Jenna’s ex – has she ever heard of girl code?! – and always puts herself in front of Jenna.

And that is probably the worst thing about Tamara. This episode’s fight was, according to Tamara, about Jenna “putting herself in front of Tamara all the time”. Puh-lease!

I’ve been liking Jenna less and less as the show goes on (mostly because it seems like the more we see of her, the more her stupidity shows), but I am SO on Team Jenna rather than Team Tamara.
