There is no time for Betty to think back on her recent vacation because the third season starts off with Betty already finding herself in challenging situations such as a new job, a new apartment/neighbor, and a new roommate. She also joins the YETI (the Young Editor's Training Initiative) program alongside the offensive Marc. In the meantime, Betty, Wilhelmina, Daniel, Hilda, and even Ignacio are attracted to different new characters.
 
I was wrong to assume that I was going to get a simple and comical story about an ugly duckling transformed into a beautiful swan. For someone like me who is too lazy to catch every weekly episode on TV, this DVD is definitely a better way to watch Ugly Betty because there are quite a number of characters to keep up with, and each of the regular characters seems to encounter major crises episode after episode. Some of them have to make difficult choices and even painful sacrifices in Season 3. While these characters’ personalities clearly change over the season, Betty’s seems to remain unchanged. Even though some viewers may prefer their Betty to stay the same, I for one would like to see her character developed and transformed a little more. I can say without any hesitation that the weakest episode is “Granny Pants”. Lindsay Lohan guest stars as Betty’s former high school classmate Kimmie, and it is nothing but a non-essential filler episode.
 
Ugly Betty tends more towards the melodramatic side of a dramedy (especially the episode “Crimes of Fashion”) which can also be somewhat soap opera-ish. Sometimes plots are convenient, coincidental, and exaggerated. On a positive note, it offers a combination of serious matters, family friendly humor, and many heartwarming as well as a few scary moments, and has a good number of twists and surprises. America Ferrera makes Betty extra likable, and Vanessa Williams’ Wilhelmina is irresistible to hate. If you have been following the series from the very beginning, I can see no reason why you should stop watching Ugly Betty now.
