vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=2019738261Description: Curtis barely makes it through soccer practice. milo's recap: Curtis and Sadie take a stab at destroying the social hierachy of Edward Adams High School by filming Curtis running naked around a soccer field. Danica, sitting on the sidelines for no apparent reason, and in a fine tribute to Gemma, says "what a bloody wanker!" (no joke) Hilarity ensures. Purpose? Clearly establishes Curtis and Sadie as the social outsiders, seen as good-natured anarchists by some, as losers by others ...

This was the first one I watched- doesn't look like anything special. Also, does anyone seriously buy them as "social outsiders"? They look far too much like "the beautiful people" to be mistaken for the social outcast nerds.

this episode was kinda silly, and i thought the "bloody wanker" comment was a bit too stereotypical (is 'typical brit' one of the 20 high school personalities, jay?), but i'm still interested and i plan to keep watching. i have a feeling it will get a lot better as we get deeper into it.

The personality type here is simply "uncomfortable outsider," in this case in the form of foreign exchange student, and that type of behavior consists of uncomfortably trying to balance fitting in and retaining ones native culture, whether it's foreigner, all-Catholic girl's school, military brat or what have you And Better Off Dead! Monique is the foreign exchange student from France, who lives with the weirdo Ricky across the street from Lane (played by John Cusack).

It makes it look so much tidier... we really need to split prom queen up into two sub-boards if we want to do that -- one for episodes (stickied in order), and one for all other prom queen discussion? Wixy is one vote, and i lest i disturb flwright or anyone else by subversive steps to turn Anchor Cove into Anchor Cove High School, anyone else in favor of that? I think it would make sense.

Will it be finished by july 20th then? Let's see... Today is April 4. There's an episode seven days a week. According to Wikipedia, July comes after June and May. Gosh, if only I knew how to count or use "addition" I could figure it out.

she says, "that's the biggest bloody wanker I've ever seen" with a big smile on her face. I believe it was in reference to a body part rather than a person. Ridiculous either way really.
