Of course I think most of this drama is staged, but I think it sure puts Kat in a bad light.

I think a lot of it is staged too. Especially the scene when the two guys met up in the art supply store and the CAMERAS just happened to be there too. I don't believe that the cameras follow either of them when normally they go supply shopping.

Kat is one of those highly creative people who probably shouldn't be a boss.

When is Liz going to get fired? She has the most negative attitude in the world, she's so superior and thinks she's above doing menial tasks, and she wants too much responsibility and access to key sensitive information, imo, and I think Kat would be taking a huge risk to let Liz have as much free rein in the shop as Liz wants. Liz needs to go, ASAP.

Liz isn't just negative, she is subversive.. as she often states, she works hard to get people on her side, to break up those who were okay with each other.. she wants to win, to take over, to be best and be recognized as such.

Actually Aubrey was a less intelligent example of the same thing, but she also seems to have more redeeming qualities. But still.. she has some loyal friends in Amy and Paulie and she keeps screwing them over.

I usually write off Aubrey as a dumb blond, but then remember that she was a reject from one of the "Rock of Love" shows. She's a dumb blond who wants a career in television. I think some people want fame (and, they hope, fortune) so desperately that they will allow themselves to be portrayed in almost any horrific way on television in order to achieve fame/notoriety.

Remember the head-shots that Liz coyly brought to High Voltage to entice ANY of the tattoo artists into drawing her portrait? I'm convinced that she didn't want the portrait drawn as much as she desperately wanted the viewing public to see her portfolio of portraits. They were exactly the type of photos that models and actresses use to try and book jobs. Liz is transparent and a wanna-be. She is looking for more work in entertainment. She will do anything to get on camera. She claimed to have drawing ability, but her bird looked like a seal with wings. WTH? It was awful and she had no excuse for it being so bad. She just wants camera time. Enough with Liz. She needs to be fired from High Voltage. She is a troublemaker.

I don't know how staged the conversation was.. but if I was trying to talk with someone and they couldn't put the stupid lap-top down for 10 minutes to have a meaningful conversation with me.. .I would have walked away. Totally rude and dismissive. Shame on Cat.

I really got the feeling that the problems between Kat and Corey are just acting. Also there were a lot of things said by Kat on the last ep where the camera didn't show her when she was saying them. This makes me think they had a lot of voice overs. I've been getting that feeling for awhile now and it was even stronger on the last ep.

I don't remember if it was obvious that Liz was saying to Adrian that Adrian wasn't supportive of Corey because she didn't go to Corey's show/concert. At the time I watched it, I felt mad at Liz and thought that was completely out of line. However, in thinking about it now, if the camera didn't show Liz actually saying that to Adrian, it could have been a voice over.

I think Liz said pretty much the same thing to Kat. What was evident though was Corey telling Liz that he doesn't want her to be all in their business or whatever. He took her outside in the back of the shop.

If the producers continue with the filming/showing people not talking when the ep airs only their voice, I am going to assume more and more that it is all just voice overs and fake and I will no longer watch it.

It is obvious to me that Liz is there just to get exposure. Those pics she brought in when she wanted Corey to do her portrait were model type. I am really doubting she is all business efficient and office manager quality the way she was portrayed at first. It's all just drama now, and, I don't mind the drama if it is real but it all seems so fake now.

Goodbye Aubrey! Finally! I guess her contract with TLC must be up.

It was nice not to see Liz in every single scene. I am glad Dan called her out on her lying.

I never felt Aubrey belonged in a tattoo shop, and I don't know how she fell into it in the first place. The thing that bugged me was that she was a Rock of Love reject, which just made me think she was someone who just wanted a TV career.

Liz has been allowed to make Kat look bad for far too long. I wonder if Kat Von D realizes just how unprofessional her shop seems when there is so much backbiting and gossiping going on--right in front of the cameras--when all she has to do to find out what's really going on is ask to see the dailies. I know the woman is busy, but she isn't keeping a tight rein on Liz. If I learn that the drama this season has been manufactured just for the sake of ratings, I'll be disappointed--maybe enough to quit watching the show.

I see it repeated here on the west coast from 7-8pm

Caught in a Lie
Kat puts her photography skills to good use in support of a benefit program for battered women; Liz gets caught in a lie; Aubry quits her job at American Electric to pursue her true passion.

They didn't even give Aubrey on-air time to finish out her run...her contract must have truly been up and they just gave her the boot! Good riddance.

Considering that Aubry called in her quitting and not to her boss.. why would they continue to follow HER? I sure hope never to see her again on a show I watch.

does anyone know if the episode coming up on Thursday is a season finale? I don't see it listed in my tv guide for next week. I see that there is another marathon on the 29th, too.

Liz faces consequences after Kat discovers she lied; Corey's painful decision leaves Kat heartbroken and tests their friendship.

I've seen enough of Aubrey, too. She is just seeking fame--or notoriety. I just keep coming back to the fact that she was a reject from "Rock of Love," although I don't remember that season, or she didn't make an impression on me when she was on. I will have to check into that. What in the world is her last name?

Never saw Rock of Love but have disliked Aubrey from the start. Don't like blatant manipulation by the producers to create drama and both Aubrey and Liz are blatant manipulation. Way to ruin a good show!

I had to go google Aubrey. She was the girl who left so Kristy Jo could stay.

I used to watch the first two seasons of LA Ink, but I got so tired of watching Kat's bad business sense and bad management of her staff that I gave up. Sounds like things haven't improved.

I think this week is the season finale. I remember seeing or reading something about it.

I hope Kat and Corey made enough money from the show to make worthwhile the beating their reputations took. In real life they are probably significantly different than the TV show would indicate but they are edited to be fairly pissy. Why couldn't Corey just figure out where he needs to work without all the histrionics. Why does Kat continue to employ morons as shop managers? (not much she can do about her brother). I think it is all about the drama TLC wants. Aubrey and Liz wouldn't last two weeks in the real world.
