GRΣΣK - Making Me Fall For Dilshad

Rumours about ABC Family's new college drama, GRΣΣK, have circulated around the internet for months. I watched the pilot last night, and it wasn't bad. The main character plays a guy who lived out life as a high school nerd and realizes that college is the last stop for unfettered fun and idiocy on the road to adulthood and eventual death. The language was quite strong for tweener oriented ABC Family, and I never thought I would hear the phrase "irony is a bitch" on a CBN affiliate. Hell, this show was followed up by the 700 Club for heaven's sake.

The show did remind me a lot of my times as an active in greek life; given I was drinking pretty heavily last night (making up for lost time in Miami), I appreciated the irony of the "please drink responsibly" message card at the conclusion of the show.

While I had no idea that Kelsey Grammer had a hot daughter, the biggest surprise for me was the introduction of Rebecca, played by the lovely Dilshad Vadsaria.





Dilshad's character plays the alpha rushee, daughter of a senator and supreme desi seductress. Thankfully we get to see her in various stages of undress in the pilot, and it seems that she will have a strong role throughout the series. Given that she is a strong women's rights advocate and speaks French, I doubt she is Muslim - which is all the better. Hiding a beautiful face and body like hers under a burka or the like would be a much bigger sin than binge drinking.
