The third season of Ugly Betty had me thinking, "It's you, Betty, you're the problem it's you" as she continues to make poor decisions and screw up the good things she has going for her (her job, her apartment, her relationship). Not to mention the poor choice of wearing ankle socks with heels. The season begins with Betty attempting to move on from her love triangle (she didn't deserve either Henry or Gio in my opinion) and move away from her family (one of the good decisions she makes this season, albeit a short-lived one) and into her own apartment in Manhattan, with a focus on moving up in the publishing business. Of course, things don't go according to her plan and the usual OTT hilarity ensues. There are also several emotionally-charged episodes throughout the season to counter the far-fetched craziness and witty one-liners and a bunch of entertaining cameos.
Here are my highlights from season 3:
