#Scandal Ready

I'm going to keep this blog post short and succinct.  If you do not follow the @BlackGirlNerds Twitter account, then you are missing out on a PAR-TAY!  I live-tweet the show every Thursday night and the tweets are pretty excessive.  They are so excessive in fact that Twitter has suspended the BGN account temporarily due to an inordinate amount of tweets.  Since the BGN Twitter account is not verified, the daily limits are lower than that of other high profile verified accounts which allows an extreme amount of tweets and retweets in a short period of time.

The BGN twitter account has also managed to recruit followers to start watching Scandal since there is a play-by-play of what is happening on the show and they vicariously watch each episode on their time line (also known as a "TL") from week to week (ABC should cut me a check).  I always enjoy Scandal night because it literally feels like a virtual reality party with a ton of girlfriends who are on the same rollercoaster ride with you at the same time.  The shocks and surprises of each scene leads all of Twitter buzzing for days on end.

Did I mention Shonda Rhimes follows us too?  Shonda is also a self-proclaimed blerd who follows us on Twitter and also loves to interact with BGN's live tweets each Thursday night.  It's a pretty intense night for everyone on Twitter.  Since the season of Scandal started, the BGN Twitter account has interacted with @TonyGoldwyn, @scottkfoley, @shondarhimes, and @kerrywashington.

Tommorow night is the season finale and its bittersweet.  I'm not looking forward to my Scandal withdrawal that I've been known to suffer from since this show aired.  I look forward to when True Blood, Dexter, and Homeland kicks in so that way it can help alleviate the symptoms.  All three shows will be just enough to cure me from Scandal withdrawal.  

Until then I have my Riesling chilling in the fridge while I wait for 10pm to arrive.  I know this episode will be crazy, I just hope Twitter shows some mercy and will not send me to jail during the season finale.  That would totally suck.  

The Twitter people should totally verify the BlackGirlNerds account.  This would make ALL of us happy and help avoid the arduous task of creating jail accounts in the process.

In the meantime...let's print this card and play some Scandal BINGO tonight!  Any takers?

Thanks @chescaleigh and @luvvie!

Happy Tweeting!
