I posted this in the other forum, but here it is again.....
I saw the show this afternoon.
My goodness! Wow. If Jessie wanted to express to the 4 pledges what she felt about them leaving formal, she could have asked Becca if she could speak to the pledges at the time that Becca spoke with them. I understand that Jessie was upset and perhaps she was not thinking all that well, but the way her and the other sisters treated the pledges was just outright rude and in very poor taste. "We need to speak with you, you and you!" She did not even give the pledges an opportunity to explain their "wrong-doing."
I do agree that the pledges leaving was rather rude; however, that was their choice. Of course, there are no rules that say that the sisters/pledges need to stay for the entire length of formal; that would be silly. Most people would want to be at formal for a good amount of time, but hey, some people just want to make an appearance and then move on. That's fine if that's what they want. Who are we to judge them? But tell me this, who has formal until 2am? I am sure it started at 7pm-ish.
The pledges did act in a manner that was inappropriate but the way they were approached, "threatened" and not allowed to speak by Jessie and her "gang" was very inappropriate, far more inappropriate than Candace and Amanda trying to get a quick cheap drink from a bar across the street.
I think Jessie needs to be "talked to."
Oh, and BTW, I have always liked Mara. Recently, though, I have come to not be able to stand her. I thought she was so sweet, but have seen how arrogant she is. On MTV.com she posted this message:
"k, so i am a total snob. i would not go camping, ever. not if you paid me. the hotel was scary, so we left. and by the way leslie, the camera crew didn't approve of the neighborhood also, but they aren't allowed to do anything about it.
maybe i am a huge snob, and a pissy brat. but people who know me already knew that. however, staying in a dangerous part of town has nothing to do with my bratiness. i have already admitted to being a JAP. the thing is, i like being a brat. and last time i checked, i don't see leslie, becca, or leah necessarily roughin it in the wilderness either..."
Later, she goes on to say:
"ok, and while i may be bratty about hotels for formal, it was just that. a sorority formal. it is a rather selfish and bratty occasion by nature isn't it? i mean really, let's celebrate ourselves and our nice lives at the westin st francis...? so therefore if i wanted it to be nicer, and was willing to pay to do that, i really don't see why that is so problematic. i didn't leave because i thought i was too good for sigma, or to disrespect the sisters, or for the cameras, or any of those things. i left because i was bored, we were in san francisco, figured i would get out and see the town. had i known they were all gonna go crazy i wouldn't have gone to the formal in the first place. i don't really like to be places where i am trapped and am forbidden from leaving..."
PUH-LEEEEASE!!
Okay, sorry for my lengthy post. I can't wait to see how Vegas turned out!
