     Welcome back, it's always great to hear from someone we thought

      I'll stick out my neck and disagree here.  I think Austin looks
very bland.  He looks like every member of my high school wrestling team
and a few members of the football team.  This brown haired square jawed
look just doesn't do it for me.  He's interchangable with any member
of BH90210 or the dreaded Hawk.  I've never liked this physical type.
All the guys I ever knew that fit this mold were members of frats, into
dipping and drinking contests, and basically major jackasses.  So
maybe I'm biased :-)

     IMO, the best looking guys on the show have been Nick, Jack, 
and Orpheus.  Other opinions?

     I don't think Jeen ever graduated.  I believe that the job
at the spectator was supposed to be a co-op, and she moved to the
TV station in mid-semester.  Here, that would totally wipe out
any co-op credit she had.  And she's never mentioned going back.
Maybe the stigma of getting a F on her co-op made her drop out :-)
Frankie supposedly graduated with a degree in Psychology.  Which
naturally explains why he went off to do anthropological research.
Well, I shouldn't gripe.  At least he's gone, and took that spineless
pod-Eve with him.
     BTW, does anyone else think Jenn's a pathetic excuse for
a reporter?  Every time I see her give a story I wonder why she
hasn't been fired.  And why everyone is so excited by her.  If she's
the best Salem has to offer, they're in big trouble.  And the network
wants her?  My fantasy scene...Jenn the bestreporterinthewholewideworld
gets a guest shot on FYI and Murphy Brown goes after her :-)
