JackAce, way to go on the observations! This is where Sabrina’s age and inexperience shine through a bit. She just wants to be one of the girls, as alluded to in the last panel but for better or worse, that’s not going to happen unless she shuns it. The administration loves the sales and ratings potential of Sabrina and are going to push her for all its worth. Again, for better or worse. So we got Sabrina trying to fit in with her peers/roommates while also being groomed for the main event. Not a great mixture but Sabrina’s trying to make it work.

I think JackAce is right about Sabrina in that its not her style to belittle her roommates. She’s made some bad decisions but none of it was hateful so I think she gets some slack. I agree with both of you that Sabrina does have an opportunity to take the lead and assert some authority but I think it might be easier said than done especially with some pretty strong egos to consider.

Great discussion, love it!

I don’t think publicly degrading her potential teammates is the way to go … and it’s not Ultragirl’s style either. She could have claimed her stake in a more subtle way, however. Like, after the fatal fourway match, on the way to the locker room, she could have told Brooke: “On, BTW, this means I get to use the BED from now on!”

The hard part is for Brooke, coz as we know. Brooke is the eldest in the group, and more powerful, and of course Brooke has more expirience than Sabrina. I mean Brooke spend almost 15months in the development territory, not only that, Brooke really dominiate Sabrina in the fatal fourway, even though Brooke got pinned.

I think the only way, Brooke will submit in Sabrina will, is Sabrina will made Brooke tap out or even knocking out Brooke. then grabs the microphone and said to Brooke “I …AM… ULTRAGIRL” Then spit on Brooke’s face.

(Of Course this is just my opinion)

I think the best decision Sabrina could have made, right in the beginning, would have been to take a much more dominant position inside the rookie household. She’s still got this “one-of-the-girls” “we’re-in-this-together” kind of attitude.

What she fails to realize is that she’s not just one of the girls. She’s the one girl that the league admins have singled out to become the new media sensation. The other girls are aware of that, and of its implications, but I don’t think Sabrina’s really aware of what she’s got that the other haven’t.

The way I see it, the only way the “Upstarts” could really function as a Team, would be if Sabrina stepped up and made them HER Team. Brooke is probably lost beyond recovery by now (although Sabrina might not be aware of that yet) but Sun and Krystin could concievably aggree to follow Sabrina, IF Sabrina were to assert some serious leadership. (And once Krystin were to submit to Sabrina, Brooke’s secret wouldn’t be secret for much longer).
