Don't hate me, but I do admire Olivia

Say what you want about her personality, but Olivia really is a hard-worker. She knows exactly what she wants, and she always finds a way to get it. She knows a lot about fashion and has many connections in the industry.

I know she isn't the nicest person, but the fashion industry is cut-throat. I'm not saying that's an excuse for being a bitch, but sometimes the nice girls do finish last.

And I don't get what's so great about Erin either. All she does is pout and complain and try to get Olivia fired. I think she actually adds more to fuel to the fire than Olivia does.

Olivia hasn't showed up for interviews she was scheduled to do. Did a bad job picking out stuff when she was suppose to pick clothes for the today show. And interviews she did do was really bad. How does that equal a hard worker?

Fritzi: Oh save the speech, rummy. She's *beep* I'm ready, and the goddamn show must go on.

And I hear she's constantly late for filming. How does that make her a hard worker?

I guess you guys have a point.

But I still don't hate her like everyone else seems to.

but sometimes the nice girls do finish last.

Just wanted to say that I've experienced this to be very true in my own life..

I came.. I saw.. And I got lost.

I think Olivia was simply born a lucky girl, superficially speaking. For starters, she is incredibly beautiful, and in a very different way from most famous beauties. She may not be exotic or striking in a Russian or Brazilian supermodel way (think Adriana Lima, Natalia Vodianova), but she has a very timeless, classic, safe, and perfect looking little Audrey Hepburnish face that I would say appeals the most to teenage, aspiring fashionista's. She reminds of the supermodels from the 60's like Jean Shrimpton. Now her style, hair and makeup are very chic, polished and well groomed; she's not trying to go for that slouchy, undone, Olsen twin look that's been popular for quite a while now. In other words, she's sort of a fresh of breath air and I could certainly see why she's become such a fashion icon. However, she was born at the right place, at the right time. To my understanding, financially speaking, she has lived a comfortable lifestyle, pretty sure her parents are not multi millionaires, but none the less comfortable. In order words, her looks and upbringing facilitated her connections in the fashion world. However, I don't see that natural fire in her eyes like Erin, who is very smart, astute, and ambitious. She may be a classic beauty with great fashion sense, but I don't think shes a naturally sharp girl.

I don't hate you for admiring Olivia, I pity you.

She is snobbish, cold, narcissistic and obviously a spoiled, selfish brat, in my opinion.

Luckily for her, she comes from money and has family connections, because with her attitude and personality she'd have real problems making it on her own.

I personally don't see what the fuss about Olivia's looks are. She's ok but her horrible attitude makes it impossible for her to be beautiful. And that aside, I hate how she talks, it's like her jaw has been wired shut and she can't open her mouth very far. And I hate the constant smirk she always has plastered on her face. She's a very unlikeable, ugly girl.

I honestly thought both Erin and Olivia could both be pretty bad at times, I know this was likely a scripted show but I'm just saying. I liked Erin better in season 1. In season 2 all she did was obsess with that guy Seth over replacing Olivia, which got annoying. Just cause you don't like your co-worker you don't obsess over getting them fired. I'm so glad it back fired on her in the finale.
