Possible proof that it's all a work?


I forget all the names, so I'll just go buy their stereotypes. The gay guy calls out that trouble maker to meet out on the train tracks. Now, remember, they didn't recognize the nerd when everyone was joining making their initial appearances, so they supposedly didn't know who was going to be there. So how did the gay guy know the trouble maker would be there?

Of course, I could have missed or forgotten something, but I think that this is proof that it's a work.

They always do this on the show. When you have a High School Reunion and you were thought as the nerdy picked on gay guy, your going to wonder if your bully is going to be there. And if you seen the show before, you know how it works, you know the bully will be there for sure. In this show they always gather the usual characters, find out who the bully and victims were, then have the victim able to issue a detention card or whatever.

A lot of people say this show is fake and it might be, but I don't see anything strange about this part.

Oh, yeah, this show is TOTALLY fake. I could tell you things all day that just didn't jive with me.

For example:

Jody? The cheer leader who loved Joe? Yeah, notice how they go thru all the shows after those two had their moment in the sun, and Jody never seemed upset about Joe all over his 'new love' Rachelle. You don't hear a peep. There are no more tears, no dirty looks, nothing.

Then, on the finale, Jody suddenly freaks, then gets over it REAL quick, then all goes on without a hitch. And that slap on her face...hahahahahahaha. I laughed at that lame slap.

um, yeah, right.

The Summer Girls and Cheerleaders were getting along fine...going on and on about their wonderful new-found friendship. Suddenly, the big tension again....the Summer Girls want to have a party that the Cheerleaders aren't invited to.
ooooo....how controversial. How lame. The house only has just so many people in it. What kind of a party did the Summer Girls really think they were going to have?

Thing is, there was no one AT the Summer Girl's party.

Suddenly, and so very predictable, everyone is joined together and best friends and having a great time again. No big showdown. Nothing more is said about the elitist Summer Girls and how much better they are than the Cheerleaders.
*yawn*

And how about Joe's new love Rachelle?....her ex husband just happens to be able to afford a ticket to Hawaii, gets there to where it's filmed, no one is upset, all the camera crew, producers, and directors let the guy in. Then they build up the tension like he wants his wife back, out of no where. And there's supposed to be a show down between him and Joe.
Uh-huh.
Nothing happened, everything was fine, and you never saw that guy again. All that for NOTHING. Not even the 'new love' was upset anymore that her husband appeared in Hawaii.
How did HE know that she was not only there, but falling in love?

Also, notice how Treda and Tracy just happened to afford to buy a diamond ring for their friend to propose to his girlfriend with. Yeah, there's a lot of diamond rings being tossed around on this show.

And they happened to not only afford to buy their friend a diamond, but also afford their OWN tickets to Hawaii. Right.

And all the pressure for Antoness (can't remember how to spell his name) to marry his long time girlfriend. WTF? Why pressure someone like that? I mean, if he doesn't do it on his own, how is he supposed to feel more 'ready' by being pressured by his friends that it's TIME, etc?
That's crap.
And everyone in the house was putting just as much pressure on him. If I was his girlfriend and saw this show and that the ONLY reason I was proposed to was because everyone pressured my boyfriend, I'd feel terrible and NOT want to get married under that circumstance.

If there's any truth to THAT scene and he truly did propose and they got married, I smell a lot of cheating in HIS future. No one can truly be ready to get married just because their friends SAY it's time and that they SHOULD get married. That's crap! He isn't ready to settle down. HE KNOWS he's a cheater and simply not ready.

This show is so contrived, so fake, so set up....I mean, come on..Joe is outside 'thinking' and looking worried...a guy walks up and asks him what's on his mind. Then Joe begins to fess up to all his deepest feelings and thoughts.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
What a cheap set up for him to talk about wanting to marry his 'new love'.

And that was a load of crap, too. Who thinks THAT marriage will work? I mean, he doesn't KNOW that woman. He hasn't even met her son. They don't know each other at all. Joe gets all the way to his late 30's and still doesn't learn to not be impulsive like this?
Yeah, THAT relationship will last.

And you know what, I was really tired of 'the nerd' going on and on about how bitter she was about high school and not fitting in. Let go!
School was a nightmare for me, and a lot worse on me than it ever could have been on HER.

I'm a double amputee of both legs from the knees down. I was in school back in the 70's. There wasn't a day that went by that the A Group didn't torment and tease and abuse me. It was like Tuesday, or any OTHER normal day of the week. I didn't know what it was like to NOT be tormented in school.

But, I didn't grow up as bitter as that nerdy girl. Let it GO, honey. Your mind is still in school.

I look at it like this...I used to wish I was included in the reindeer games, but never was included.
Then again, I never really liked the reindeer in the first place. I'm better off without them. I don't need a peer group to tell me how to feel, think, what to wear, or how to behave.

If you judge yourself by whether or not the A Group likes you, then you have more problems than you think.

Thru the many years that I've been out of school (graduated in 1975), many of my tormentors in high school have apologized to me. They have since realized how cruel they were. Some of them have even had disabled children of their own and worried to death how they were going to be treated in school, knowing how they themselves were to people like me.
What goes around and all that. Kids are cruel, it's a fact of life.

Those people had their fun during the FIRST part of my life. They don't get the REST of my life. People only have the power we give them.

This show is so lame and predictable. I won't be watching it next season.

And if it's script writers they want, sign me up. I can write a better, more realistic show. I can come from a deeper, more realistic place.

Do neither of you realize that Rachelle's ex was actually a classmate? They said it only like 10 times. He went to Chapparel. I'm sure they had him lined up to come out regardless because he's the jealous ex. I'm sure they were hoping for Rachelle to meet someone else but if not, I bet they'd have issued her a detention from him.

Don't get so worked up over this. I never got the vibe that the producers were trying to make us think people flew out there on their own or bought rings. All the rings were CLEARLY framed with the jeweler's name and Tracy/Treda were classmates flown out to Hawaii FOR THE SHOW. We were not ~*~*~*supposed to believe they did it on their own~*~**~.
