episode 7
aired 9/30/03

cutest moment: This week, we have to be literal about it. Jessica and her mother saying "cute" to just about every single dress they were looking at....that amounted to like 20 cutes within one minute.

surprise of the show: Jessica and Nick did not make any gastrointestinal noises [again] this week =)

98 Degrees moment of the show: Drew asking Nick which plaque he should put up in the office...the gold or the platinum (in reference to the gold/platinum cds they received for selling so many records).

Jessica's blonde moment: Trying every door in the hotel with an electronic key because she forgot her room number. Then she finds out that the room number is written on the electronic key. doh!

Synopsis:
This episode was about bickering...bickering about how to decorate their house. You would think that any woman of the house would appreciate a husband that doesn't bind interior decorating (unless you are Monica from Friends...or Jessica from you know). Nick has no qualms about putting his efforts into redecorating the house while Jessica is off in NYC doing promos for her book (book about the wedding). We see Nick and Jessica arguing at a BBQ place about decorating. And then the moment Jessica takes off for NYC, Nick and Drew start moving things around. They are quite ingenious in moving some pieces of oversized furniture that wouldn't fit in the doorway. So, they take a ladder and make a bridge between the balcony and a side hill. For one piece of furniture taken up through the curving staircase, they manage to what they called a "small nick"...except the camera blows it up into this 3 foot gash.

Meanwhile, Jessica goes to a place with her mom to pick out things to wear for her Planet Hollywood book signing and to a Today show interview. Jessica is a bit disappointed that there are like only 15 people waiting to get her book sign, but the promo guy says Hillary Clinton only had 250 people waiting to make her feel better.

Jessica finally comes back and is disappointed that Nick decorated the place. She keeps on insisting she has no time to think about decorating (or the knowledge of how to do it), and she wants to hire an interior decorater. Nick of course doesn't want to, calling her a spoiled brat. Jessica refutes the brat portion, but not the spoiled portion. Jessica finally says I'll pay you to decorate it. Nick asks, with what? Jessica replies, "in bed"

next episode preview: the making of videos for "Sweetest Thing" and "Shut Up". Apparently Nick doesn't get the funding to make a splashing video of the likes of Justin Timberlake or Christina Aguilera. Ane he's one unhappy person.
