I guess the writers on Hart of Dixie couldn't think of a new weird Bluebell festivity to have so they moved up Tom and Wanda's wedding and had everyone scrambling to get it together in 2 days. A bit tricky since it was a Lord of the Rings/Star Wars themed affair, but it's TV so of course everyone was able to find costumes and headpieces in the tiny town of Bluebell Alabama in 48 hours. Since the couple decided that the Rammer Jammer was their dream reception location it made the rest of the details pretty simple. Out of ALL of Wanda's friends in Bluebell, of course she asked newcomer, Dr. Zoe Hart to be her maid of honor and of course Tom asked Wade to be his Best Man (and sex yoda-which is a term I would like to weave into conversation today) which just made the revelation that Wade cheated on Zoe all the more uncomfortable during the ceremony. As I predicted in last weeks Hart of Dixie commentary, my fave,hot, shirtless, boy has officially lost his girl...for now. So lets review. Lady Cybil and Matthew Crawley are dead, Jeremy Gilbert is dead and now Wade and Zoe are broken up. This caused me to take to my bed and blow off the rest of the night. Sorry.
NEWS & INFORMATION:
-Yesterday, FOX announced that it would be launching a new, first-of-its-kind syndication network that will distribute FOX’s custom sync-to-broadcast experiences that are currently available exclusively in FOX NOW apps – to other second-screen TV app providers. The new network allows partners to take advantage of FOX’s content and ensures that fans can enjoy a premium, cohesive FOX digital content and advertising experience across multiple TV apps and platforms. Syndication partners at launch include Shazam®, Viggle?, ConnecTV & NextGuide. Through these partnerships, viewers using Shazam, Viggle, ConnecTV or NextGuide can access FOX’s social, behind-the-scenes and interactive content around FOX shows while synced to the broadcast. I'm a big fan of sync-to-broadcast experiences, but I feel like there is just so many options. They should all come together somehow and make it easier on the viewer. I personally am a big Viggle fan and user...so for now, I'm sticking with that one.
