The City – “Roommate Wanted”

Reality TV

Last Tuesday’s episode of The City was strangely reminiscent of a certain The Hills Season 3 episode when Heidi moved out of her apartment with Lauren and moved in with Spencer… Well, minus the ego-tripping spoiled kid, but add a really random fight out of nowhere between Roxy and Whitney, you end up with Roxy moving out of Whitney’s apartment.

The week before that, Kelly Cutrone presented Whitney with an opportunity to have Whitney’s line, “WhitneyEVE” be worn by Canadian pop star, Lights, who has been making her way through the US music charts. Roxy was given this assignment since Lights was coming to People’s Revolution to pull pieces for an upcoming show she was having in New York. Whitney’s more girlie, feminine line wasn’t really what Lights was looking for since she had a more punk and edgy style. If you’ve seen the show, you know Roxy is the most persistent person you will ever meet when it comes to Whitney’s line and she wouldn’t settle until Lights had at least one piece of Whitney’s line. Roxy successfully got Lights to wear one of Whitney’s jacket for the show, but to everyone’s disbelief, she took it off and threw it on the stage literally right after she got on stage. Whitney was furious with Roxy claiming that she hadn’t done her job, but as Roxy tried to explain, you can’t force people to wear something they weren’t comfortable with. I agree. Whitney didn’t see this as a valid excuse which ensued a fight that I hope other viewers (not just me) saw as coming out of nowhere.

This leads to this week’s episode where Roxy took Sammi house-hunting with her in hopes of finding a place of her own. She did find a place, but because of the high cost, she was forced to turn to her father, who simply told her ‘no’ and said that he wasn’t going to help her anymore and that she either needed to come home, or find something she could afford on her own.

At the end of the episode, Roxy moved out to stay with Sammi while she looked for a place.

I’m hoping this doesn’t affect their relationship too much. We shall see on Tuesday, July 13th for the season finale.
