The Silent Bob of gender-blind college housing
So Grey was whisked to Manhattan, chauffeured around in black sedans and SUVs, and put up in the "snazzy-ass" Hotel Mela, a four-star luxury boutique hotel on West 44th. With the other students slated to be on the show, he went to Times Square and took a carriage ride through Central Park.
But after prepping his rationale for opposite-sex dorm rooms so that it would sound articulate on national TV, he never got the chance to speak! LOL. Check it out: the mother, the future roommate Sam, and Disapproving Girl took up all the airtime.
C'est la vie. He got a wild behind-the-scenes glimpse at big media--on FOX News's dime, no less--and he's back on campus in time for finals.
Which is what, after all, a mother cares about most.

Wow...it's wild to see Grey all grown up! With a crazy-ass beard! Hee! What a fun little jaunt to NYC for him. Very, very cool.
For the record, jiminy, what is all the fuss about with co-ed dorm rooms? Sheesh. Too bad you couldn't go to NYC with him and set Disapproving Girl straight. Hmf.

I can't believe they didn't ask your son a direct question or let him speak! Of course, I shouldn't be suprised, since it's FOX News(oops, showing my bias there.) P.S. Thank goodness I never had to be room-mates with that Sarah Highland.

What is so interesting was the not so hidden implication about sexual attraction and how difficult it was for Sam's mother to trust her daughter's instincts.There was even an implied "who can believe it" with the audience couple.It was also curious that Grey was marginalized as if to say that it was all up to the female to manage the boundary. How come Grey's mom wasn't selected to appear on Fox? Now that would have been quite a show!

Oh Joy! This is so funny. Your boy is adorable...and his beard is incredible. You can always count on FOX for a stimulating round-table discussion about world issues. By the way, Sarah is definately still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top RA...
