But anyway, we’ve made our love known with gif after gif. We’ve unofficially made Aaron Tveit our That’s Normal mascot and we have been counting down the days until we see Aaron Tveit in Graceland, Aaron’s new cop-crime drama on USA, which begins (next Thursday June 6th! Set your DVRs!) Bekah got a chance to watch the pilot On demand because Comcast had their Sh*t together for once, and Nikki paid a pretty penny to go see a screening of the pilot in West LA Wednesday (her “payment” was driving to the westside at rush hour) which live streamed a Q&A session with the cast from NYC after the show. That’s right, Nikki was in a room in LA where Aaron Tveit was LIVE on a movie screen 3,000 miles away in New York City. It was love. For real.
Yesterday we decided to do what we do best and breakdown Graceland & Aaron Tveit Vanity Fair Style.
Oh and it’s important to know, we refer to Aaron as “Our Aaron.” Yes in real life.
The One With the Florida Retiree and the 30 Year Old
Bekah – kick us off! since you JUST saw it.. i need a refresher. QUICK cleanse me of Aaron’s terrible new hair and send me a new pic

Nikki HAHAAHAH ok im on their tumblr tag so wait not this?

Bekah – EWWWW looks like an overweight dad on vacation

Nikki – DUDE thats pretty much what i tweeted, that’s his florida retiree chic ensemble

Bekah – i saw that. and loved. like WHAT was he thinking?

Nikki – the 14 yr old next to me who FLAILED the entire 2 hours was DYING. She was still into it. Like a true weirdo (fan)

Bekah – tired of all the attention hahaha was she in love? or like UN SEE UN SEE.. LOOKS LIKE MY DAD

Nikki – i can only assume yes, attention or its for some role or he was hot. apparently its been hot in NYC all the ladies of the panel were in shorts

Bekah – just got hot today. no excuse
Nikki – I guess 14 yr old and her sister were in still love though. My favorite shavedheadgate reaction was this one girl on Instragm who commented “he looks 30 now… too old for me to like”
Bekah – well.. he is

Nikki – HAHAHAHAHAA

Bekah – that’s awesome MORE FOR US. i mean.. when his hair grows out

Nikki – i died. i was like well sister, move over. exactly. shake off some of the dead weight in his fandom

Bekah – Reminds me of the Rob Pattinson Hair gate of early 2009. Remember that? when he cut off the Edward locks was seen walking through an airpot, guitar in hand people were FREAKING and by people I mean me. I hated it.

Nikki – YES, I remember that. It was the day the world stopped spinning for a few minutes. the weight shift of his hair being shaved messed up the earth’s axis. BUT as we learned and as we all already know HAIR GROWS BACK you weirdos
The One Where we Actually Talk About The Show
Nikki – anyway i was at this pre screening for Graceland which also included a Q&A after they showed the pilot which i think was 90 minutes? They gave him a nickname, Levi, did you get that far in the VOD version?
Bekah– Mine ended with Aaron (what’s his new name- who cares it’s OUR AARON always) finding out his real reason for being in the house. WE WON’T SPOIL. Levi??? They gave him a new name??

Nikki – yes a nickname!

Bekah – Oh maybe it ended with them all hanging out on a couch?
Nikki – after he busts that guy with the truck full of designer jeans??? And yes it ends on the beach with him getting that call about his REAL mission!
Bekah yes… okay.. maybe the pilot i saw was 90 min. I didn’t think so. Time goes by so fast when I’m with my Aaron

Nikki – felt longer than an hour who knows. maybe it was the girl gasping and freaking out next to me that made it feel longer

Bekah – I mean… Our Aaron hahah

Nikki – OH AARON. i mean MIKE WARREN. what a made up cop name, am I right?

Bekah – Okay so big picture: What did you think? Overall- will you watch? Tune in weekly?

Nikki – YES! i immediately set my DVR after and you know me i NEVER watch shows like this but it was enjoyable, there was some cheese but it was a fun, interesting show idea

Bekah – Yes this show is TOTALLY up my alley- not yours.

Nikki – sure it probably is like 95% because of Aaron that I’ll watch but who cares?! We all have our things.

Bekah – I think it started off like.. ummm I don’t know.. I’m only watching this b/c Aaron is hot and would totally turn it off otherwise.. but by the end I was really into it.. especially with the twist of his REAL mission… and I was sold

Nikki – I was with our friend Emily and she was like i love this, i love covert affairs, etc so if you’re into USA type shows, this is definitely for you

Bekah – I love Covert Affairs too. Shocker

Nikki – I am not shocked. i was like oh I’ll watch for Aaron but then i was kind of dragged in by the story. Good job USA. (And Aaron)

Bekah – I’ll be honest.. in the beginniing I was worried more than just for the plot lines.. Aaron seemed… dorky…. like… It was making me question my devotion to our mascot… (Clearly hadn’t watch the Run Away With Me video for awhile)
Nikki – when it ended i actually thought this is better than REVOLUTION another show we both watch because of a DUDE. I mean clearly they’re totally different but there was a little pay off there unlike you know what show. AHEM.

Bekah – I was NOT into his character… Naive.. Type A (like ME) I bet he folds his underwear…. Nothing really sexy about that

Nikki – RIGHT. What was with the little neat pile of clothes he unpacked, like literally 2 shirts and 4 pairs of boxers briefs came out of that OLD ASS suitcase that be brought with him. They must have stole that suitcase from some Florida retiree when they shot in Miami… WAIT A SECOND, IT’S ALL MAKING SENSE. Maybe Aaron IS the Florida retiree and he really does own that old suitcase.
Bekah – Probs. but then… he just gets sexy and sexier like… it literally happened before my eyes. Sure he’s still a perfectionist. He follows the rules… But… he’s super likeable

Nikki – i was like this guy isn’t an FBI agent, they gotta be smooth talkers. than while he’s undercover and he said that line about the only thing he knows how to say in russian is “not tonight” i was like THIS GUY!!!

Bekah – Especially when the other housemates warm up to him (FUN FACT- they totally make fun of him and prank him in the beginning and you totally want to Special Hug Aaron and make him feel better) and they have a great comradery going on… it’s pretty hot

Nikki – RIGHT that cougar-ish girl especially loves him! i yelled “BACK OFF” at the screen! she didn’t listen. Imagine that. they’re definitely playing up the squaresville, anal retentive, by the books angle but i think they’ll chill with that SOON. hopefully.

Bekah – Squaresville!! Yeah That Chick

Nikki – THIS CHICK

Bekah – Give him a good sex scene to fix that square problem. Yeah bitch, wants to DO him with her doe eyes. I don’t blame her. Do you think they’re pushing that?

Nikki – THIS BITCH
i was trying to figure out who the love interest would be but i think it MIGHT be this girl they introduce in the 2nd epi who was in the after show Q&A

Bekah – ohhh So we haven’t seen her yet? Yeah I can’t see him with Doe eyes.. I mean… it would be different.
What’s happening in this second gif you sent me? doe eyes dying? just found out Aaron shaved his head?
Nikki – she just heard RUN AWAY WITH ME. it’s probably also her ringtone now too. i think THIS will be the love interest

Bekah – Looks right. She’s hot. Hate her oh PS apparently there’s a new vid aaron talks about.. wait for it.. having a GIRLFRIEND AHHHH

Nikki – repeat after me: “a girlfriend is only an obstacle.”

Bekah – hahaha oh crap
Nikki – “a girlfriend is only an obstacle”
Bekah – he looks cute in this vid even with that hair. i’m in trouble. Aaron Hair gate over gahh
Nikki – he didnt talk about a GF in that! he honestly just put on a diff shirt for the Q&A. same pants and shoes. WE CAUGHT YOU AARON. maybe he just really likes those pants and feeling the cool breeze on his ankles?
The One With the Serious Question
Nikki – ok i have a serious question for you

Bekah – okay. i have a feeling you’re lying but shoot

Nikki – which guy would you buy drugs from???? which one do YOU think looks like the undercover federal agent…
Bekah – hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahhahahahaahahaha

Nikki – NOT MIKE WARREN. AM I RIGHT!??!! Seems totally legit, right?

Bekah – Well.. it depends on what I’m after. If I want cocaine, I’m probably going after the head of the Fraternity. GUESS WHICH ONE THAT IS.

Nikki – more like roofies

Bekah – If I want something to get me cray cray (cause cocaine doesn’t do that obvs) Imma pick one of the others. Yes true- go to the frat boy for the roofies that’s hilarious. East Side gang? or something?

Nikki – no idea what that is more Levi’s importer/exporters. also the hair shaving must have been recent:Bekah – weird! lice? like.. that day.. same shirt? new hair
The one where we give you people what you want (gifs)
Bekah – Ooh FOUND IT: Read this first hand fan account of her experience with Aaron at the Q&A. Favorite quote (about the girlfriend) “that doesn’t stop me at all from wanting to get the D.”
Nikki – HAHAHAHAHA

Bekah – how can we not know who his gf is? we gots to find this out. Also
Nikki – HAHAHAHA that GIF is this the one handed clap ive been reading about?
ALSO “Hey…just hiding my morning wood”
Nikki – also emily and i were calling bullshit on the whole surfing scene. and thank god he never really got up. (TWSS)

Bekah – haha. yes well that’s all you people DO in LA right? Surf?

Nikki – thanks Graceland for showing how ROCKED he would have been if that was truly his first time surfing. i still have probs on body boards! Also THIS was their choice for the mike warren/aaron image?
BUY DRUGS FROM THIS GUY!
Nikki – OMG I FOUND SOMETHING. TEASER FOR THE SEASON??? Like deranged sorority girl says, hope you’re strapped in:

Bekah – AHHH i’m strapped in and enjoying the ride!!!!!
So if you like USA cop-crime dramas, you’ll like Graceland. If you like Aaron Tveit, you’ll like Graceland. If you don’t like USA shows or Aaron Tveit, we’re not sure what you’re doing here.
Watch Graceland next Thursday, June 6th at 10pm on USA. We think you’ll like it. At the very least, Our Aaron looks pretty damn fineeeee.
