I watched Monday's episode in awe from beginning to end. Amanda speaking to her dog about the homecoming traditions was my first clue that the girl was going to take me over the edge. I commend Mrs. Weiss for her attempt to keep the peace in the newspaper room but shifting the seating arrangement is not and will not make Amanda a better editor. When Amanda found the picture from the year before (before she became a power hungry pain) and put it on the board for all to see I truly believed that she thought this would make everyone like her again. Yeah that did not work. Adam responded but the others looked and walked away.
As for the homecoming, Adam won for Homecoming King (surprising yes but he has that personality that everyone loves or loves to hate) and everyone went to the dance. Before the dance Alex, Adam and Dan (where was Trevor) all went and had a spa day. Hilarious to watch and very male empowering (yeah right).
The only part of the show that my heart went out to Amanda was when her date texted her the night before the dance to tell her he could not go. Amanda went anyway (good for her) but she seemed (again editing) to follow Alex around for a good portion of the night.
Amanda needs to stop feeling and acting as if she is better than everyone else. She comes across as the girl who smiles to your face but behind that smile she is condescending and over powering. She also needs to get over Alex and move on. Amanda in general tries way too hard and this has a tendency to put people off (it did me).
The show has become a fascination for me to see what these kids will do next and who I can most relate too. Which one were you (or are you now) based on the different personalities on the show? I have decided I am a Gianna (smart ass but fun) or maybe a Dan (another smart ass but goofy too). By the way Gianna I would not have been in the photo either (wait were you?)

Hey TivoMom...
Just read today's post - good question about Trevor & Giana's whereabouts....You should read their posts on the mtv website.
To give you a straight answer...
1. Nobody ever told Giana on the dance floor that they wanted to take a newspaper photo, and since that group is not her bff group, she declined, having no idea what the direction of the request and subsequent editing was at the time. She simply didn't want to leave the dance floor to take a picture.
2. Trevor left in April for Israel. He was a national scholarship winner to the AMHSI High School in Israel, and wasn't even there during filming of the last 2 months of their junior year. Trevor also had the hardest time engaging in activities that were just for MTV, instead of part of his every day life, and you can pretty much count on the fact that he will NEVER go get a facial at a woman's salon - ever. Even if it gets him a scene on MTV! Trust me - he can be a jerk sometimes, but he's an amazing kid - MTV just edits the way MTV wants to edit. ....too bad. We actually thought they were coming to do a show on smart, outgoing, dynamic, and positively motivated kids. Should've known - that just doesn't sell tv shows!
When did the show become the Amanda show anyway? Love the gumption of Giana and Trevor and will continue to give my opinions based on that side of things. Thanks for the input. It is nice to know a proud mom when it comes to the teenage years. Mine are 6 and 3 and I am having my own experiences with those ages.
