I agree with you on this Jeremy.  L.B. is doing a terrific job on her job.  
I think it would be great if she got Carly of the Slinky Eyebrows fired.  
Hopefully,(yeah right) then we wouldn't have to see the Slinky One quite so
much.

As I stated later in my original post, I'm not exactly sure why she bothers 
me so much.  It's just that every time I see her I have to clinch my hands. 
Does anyone understand this?  It's sort of like one of those people who for 
some reason (known or unknown) who makes you feel defensive or discontent 
every time you see them?  There is only one person that I know of who makes 
me feel that way(in real life) and IMO I have ample reason for feeling that 
way.  As for L.B. I'm not sure of the reason.  It started during the scene  
with Rob and Kayla and has been that way in every scene since.  Am I making 
any sense?

I think this initial dislike must have something to do with her out for 
blood attitude.  She seems to thrive on making other people suffer.   The 
other evil ones such as Lawrence, Viv, and Victor do not mind stepping on 
people. However, they only go after people who they have a personal 
vendetta on, stands in the way of a goal, or possibly threatens some aspect 
of their personal interests.  I know it's her job to make the opponent look bad 
but making people suffer seems to be what makes her tick.

I guess I might have answered my own question.

I know she hasn't been on long enough to probably make a rational judgement
.  I just had a VERY STRONG initial reaction to her and everything I've 
seen of her since has supported my initial thoughts.  This isn't very
open minded thinking, I could be proven wrong.  If you all persuade me
differently,  I'll be the first to admit it. 

Anyway, just didn't want to be misunderstood. :-)
