Soccerstar

Yeah...but even though Bree's first blog wasn't as exciting as the recent vids have been...I still fell in love with her right from the start. This girl just makes me want to run into a brick wall and die.

Need I remind everyone that the lg15 videos got the same complaints in the beginning, and that soon after that they got increasingly more interesting? And I see the fact that she's talking about soccer and her name is soccerfan to be another parallel to the first lg15 video, where Bree talks about how she's bored and lonely a lot, and her name is lonelygirl. I think it makes sense.

Yeh that was exactly the point is was trying (and failed) to make! There's nothing wrong with her, and as soon as she has something interesting to talk about I'm sure it'll improve.

If this is some kind of test are auditon..she sure get's my vote! She did a GREAT job...im sure it's hard acting....like ur just a girl blogging...but she pulled it off but also made it interesting and enjoyable to watch...unlike that other "new girl"....

Actually it wasn't the same. The thing with Bree was people trying to prove she was fake. However, this girl isn't annoying like Jules. I just don't personally think she 'fits' the mold they would be trying to fill. She fits it better than Jules, to me, as far as not making me want to put my hand over her mouth...but I just don't see her being the next chosen one. It's two different grievances, honestly. I do think she's snotty...but that wouldnt' be a problem to me if I felt she would fill the spot well. I just don't. Sorry. My opinion. I feel the need to apologize for my opinion here lately. Thanks.

in short, if you're done, write an ending, be done, and then give us something new!!

(And damn, my son had a Power Rangers birthday party when he was 2. He's 15 now, and the show is STILL on!)

To be fair, after the end of the show's sixth year (which I've heard was intended to be the final one), they started making almost entirely self-contained storylines.

The proper spelling for this definition of the word is canon. A "cannon" is a weapon.

THANK YOU, Juli. I've been driven nuts by this misspelling, especially in the last day or so, and was trying to figure out a way of raising the issue without sounding like a complete jerk, or pedant, or both.

You're using "gay" as a pejorative just to piss me off, aren't you, Balmung?

I know you're not so stupid as to actually think that using the word that way is acceptable in polite and/or adult company.

Agreed. She looks like plenty of non-fat teenage girls I know or have known. She simply has a broad Slavic face.

Soccerstar grates on me because she's so self-concious and unnatural, like taking her hair down and falling back onto the bed...it comes across as so awkward and contrived to me.

It also irritated me how her video just seemed to be leading up to her revealing and asking for advice on a big problem she had and then...it finished! Or maybe i wasn't paying close enough attention?

Yeh, the taking down the hair bit was the only bit that actually made me cringe

I haven't had the time to browse through all of the replies to this as I'm in class, so forgive me if I'm repeating what someone else said, but I think its more likely that someone is trying to do exactly the same thing that was done with lonelygirl15. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like blabbing on about soccer is not the best way to engage an audience, even if the point is to get family relationships laid out.

If this girl does end up canon and does end up being "the new girl" then its quite possible that they want to make the audience feel less enchanted by her because, well, then this wouldn't be lonelygirl15 anymore. Plus I have a feeling that they're going to pit Bree and "the new girl" against eachother if "the new girl" really is set up by the order and not just Auntie Alex.

I hope you have more luck getting people to stop using that as a slur on this forum than I had trying to get them to stop using the word "retard" (my son has a cognitive disability, and it kills me every time someone uses the word).

When I brought the subject up, though I had several people support my view, I got my ass chewed royally for suggesting that I stop people's "freedom of speech".

I call it "freedom to be a complete butt head"...but that's another topic.

Isn't the exercise to figure out which one of these is the new girl, not which one would make a better new girl?

Some people are suspecting that the Creators are going to "audition" several new girls and select the one that the fans take to the most.

That might not be what they are actually doing, but if they were, it would be brilliant!

If Jessica moves on from the series, they are going to need someone who can keep us watching. If they pick the wrong girl, the series is over.

dont you think it was wrong for her to mention bree etc if she is to be the "new girl"therefore shoe would be aware of the religion and/or her connection through similarities?

Yes, I very much remember that whole debacle. I think, though, that a lot of the ass-chewing came from one person, who got kicked off the boards soon after.

Come to think of it, I haven't noticed anyone using the term "retard" in a long, long time. Maybe your efforts made a difference.

Not sure what you're saying here. Could you please rephrase to clarify?

cittiecait · Post by **cittiecait** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 10:19 am

ok don't you think its weird that she mentions bree and all in her video... if she watches the videos then she would be aware of the preperations that she would ahve to go through... she would be aware of the religion... even gemma and jonas(although not until later) were aware of the religion and the people involved.
