'Ugly Betty': Brace yourself for answers

Oct. 6 update:

The season 2 finale of "Ugly Betty" left viewers hanging on a cliff and our heroine with a big choice to make. Henry proposed, which would mean moving to Arizona. But Gio wants to take her on a Roman holiday and be "the guy." Meanwhile Daniel has a son, but no job. Wow. So many questions. (Savvy fans probably already know how one of those dilemmas turns out, but I'll never tell.)

Win an iPod!

ENTER NOW! CONTEST ENDS JUNE 12

Time to cash in on that dysfunctional childhood with Season Pass’ latest giveaway contest.

Ipod1As a tie-in to its series “Relative Madness,” SoapNET is giving one lucky
Season Pass reader an iPod. Eight runners up will receive either a shirt or a mug.

“Relative Madness” is a limited series of six original specials airing Thursdays at 11 p.m. that takes an irreverent look at families and relationships, blending celebrities with fictional TV characters. Each show will count down the 25 best over-the-top moments in a given category with commentary from various personalities including Joy Behar (“The View”), Cameron Mathison (“All My Children”), Andrea Bowen (“Desperate Housewives”) and Willie Garson (“Sex and the City”).

“Relative Madness” bowed May 8, just before Mother's Day, with “Mama Drama” (featuring Dina Lohan and Britney Spears) and concludes the week of Father’s Day with “Father Knows Less.”

CarriebigThe other episodes in the series are "It's a Sibling Thing," "A Brawl in the Family," "Twisted Family Trees" and this week's “Crazy… In Love,” featuring troubled relationships ranging from Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson to “Sex and the City’s” Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big.

To win the iPod, leave a comment and tell us your most dysfunctional moment. Maybe it was something “helpful” your mom said to you that you've never forgotten, an epic fight with a sibling or a dramatic break-up story. The best stories (30 words or less please) will be entered into a drawing for the iPod. If you’ve led a perfect life, make something up!

Contest will close on June 12, when the last episode of the series airs. Winners will be notified June 16.

Also let us know which runner up prize you prefer. And good luck!
