I didn't have a problem with the frat boy's message, which I agree was realistic. It was the use of the word "normal" that made me cringe. I'm sure Noelle knows she's not the average or typical girl, but "abnormal" has a negative connotation. Really? How do you know this?

My heart broke for Noelle when one of the twins' friends told her she'd face more problems at college than a "normal" girl. That had to sting.

And his name was Shane, just like the guy in Episode 2. Wonder if those are the guys' real names? Quite the coincidence!

I liked this episode. As always, I can't say enough about the wonderful Noelle. She is so strong and brave. I hope she finds all the acceptance, love and happiness in the world. I thought Jazz acquitted herself very well this week, too. And I find myself liking Greg more and more all the time. He is a real mensch.

I was just coming on here to say almost the exact same thing, except I wasn't thinking of just the sexual aspect. I was thinking of who'd cope best with being dumped as F3 or F2. I think Eric will handle it well because that's what he does, and Peter will handle it well because despite the bruise to his ego, he'll be thrilled to be off the hook.

Not sure if someone already directly answered this, but yes, she did say that. I was completely shocked when she eliminated Dean at the rose ceremony after that. I don't think he was a good fit for her, but you know the poor guy is going to be convinced it was only his family that ruined his chances. I was sure she'd dump either Eric or Peter.

MsPH, excellent post. Very well said!

Kudos to your entire post, some of the most rational and articulate comments I've seen yet about this show. Thank you!!

My mom died at 92 with a glorious head of thick, snowy white hair. I agree that Jackie's hairstyle is part of her charm.

I think she can do (and has done) both.

A drag show doesn't typically involve stripping or anything overtly sexual. The ones I've seen primarily feature singing, dancing and some stand-up comedy, as well as celebrity impersonations.

OMG, Grandma and Grandpa at the drag show, Grandpa in the tiara... I love these people! They are totally good sports. Loved the pics of little girl Jazz at the end of the episode. What an adorable child!

Jazz turns 16 I love, love, LOVE Noelle. She is a total sweetheart. Jazz is lucky to have a friend like her.

I don't know why, but for some reason that sentence makes me lmao!

Just click on radishcake's name and then click on "message" (under the cartoon character's eye).

How will you be able to tell Peter and the cardboard cutout apart?

Arie, my Arie.... there will never be another Arie!

When Rachel was trying to talk seriously to Dean and his response was, "What's your favorite dinosaur?" That would've been the end of the line for me, right that minute.

If Peter were the next Bachelor, I would be bored to tears.

She will never pick Eric in a million years, and I felt like she gave him a "pity rose" so he could finally say he brought a girl home to meet the family. I think they are a total mismatch. "That being said" (TM Rachel and everyone else), Eric has grown on me to the point that he is my favorite guy. Not for Rachel, but wow, he is a lovely man and has made something fine of himself, despite the odds, by virtue of his positive nature. He seems humble, sincere and kind-hearted.

Since there have been previous discussions regarding if/when kids experience sexual feelings, I thought I'd post this link. Sorry if this is the wrong place to do that... http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/publications/201

Are you sure about this? Since Jazz's estrogen levels are at the level of a normal adult, why wouldn't that be sufficient? Also, children pre-puberty can definitely experience sexual arousal. You seem quite knowledgeable, though, so I wondered if maybe you are a medical professional?

Great, thanks!

Can someone star a new topic for Season 3? I tried, but it didn't work.
