So once Tori and Dean got the bright idea to open their B&B, they had to first get over the serious doubts of their friends and more importantly, raise the funds to actually buy a B&B. They meet a financial advisor where Tori discloses she's in debt and the scarce $800,000 her dad gave her when he died simply isn't enough.

Blah blah blah, more financial advisor stuff. Then he gives her the brilliant idea to have a yard sale. Tori discloses she has "hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furniture" which she keeps in a massive storage house.

Of course, there's more than furniture in there. There's a ton of 90210 artifacts and Tori's wardrobe throughout the years--all of which must go. But not the vintage Chanel stuff, noooo!

So the episode is pretty much all about having the yard sale, excuse us "estate sale" which of course, goes swimmingly, except for when Perez Hilton squeezes into a green tube top.

To us, the episode was eerily similar to the first season of Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson as the dumb blonde wife and Nick Lachey as the trying-to-be-taken-seriously husband.

Tori is annoyingly chipper--kind of like Donna Martin--and annoyingly relatable, who doesn't have Mommy issues? But we feel bad for Dean who is a bit like a trophy husband that has to pick up all the dog poop, work out the finances and deal with rabid 90210 fans. He's also out on acting auditions while Tori is spending $1,500+ on clothing at Kitson. An extra sad moment--Dean wonders if any one will want his plaid Burberry pants. As if!

Lest we forget about baby. Since the show revolves around B,B&B there's a trip to the OB/GYN for an ultrasound where Tori promptly says the monitor picture of her baby looks like Satan. And of course, the inn's namesake Mimi La Rue, makes a bunch of appearance in plenty of outfits and even in a stroller.

Truthfully, once we were knee-deep in margaritas, the show wasn't as bad as we thought. House of Carters, on the other hand....What's funny is that Tori is such a publicity hound (Note to paparazzi: stop encouraging these people!) that we've seen photos from practically every scene in the first epsiode in the weekly rags. We don't buy that crap, no, um our roommates do.

Nevertheless, we thought Tori's tatted husband was, well...kinda normal, and through our margarita-haze, we kinda wanted to kiss him. (We know! And he's Canadian!) Even more, despite what we feared, Tori Spelling pregnant didn't make us hurl. Although at this point in the show, she was only five months pregnant. We'll see how it goes when the inn opens during her ninth month.
