sidenote: the episode where the Kappa Tau's and Omega Xi's play beer pong, does anyone else play pong with the paddles? i've never seen anyone play like that, we just aim to get the pong ball into the cup, kinda like darts?
lol guess you learn something new everyday. this show definitely makes me LOL and the storylines take these random turns, its hilarious. Cappy, Dale and Calvin are my favs - the one liners are great!

Does anyone know if the DVD is coming out? I started watching it on ABC, but then they took it off the air and I don't get ABC Family. I couldn't see spending the extra money just for that show.

I've never played myself but I know that paddle vs no paddle is the major difference between Beer Pong and Beiruit.

I got season 1 in the mail this morning. I can't wait to watch it, because I only got to see about half of the season. Are there any good sites to catch up on spoilers for Season 2? I can't watch it online

So I caught up on last season over the weekend - and DESPISE Rebecca and Franny!! Rusty is SO cute. Have a TV crush on Cappie. Casey and Ashleigh are great. Dale even has redeeming qualities! Definitely takes me back to college - and am planning on staying up to watch tonight even though I have to get up at 3am for work! One of the better shows out there.

As much as I love all the characters it kind of bugs that they all have the same accent but they're supposed to be from various places. Dale is supposed to be Southern and the actor is supposedly from Arkansas. Who could tell? I seem to recall seeing on the "Rush'd" website the Ashliegh is supposed to be from one of the Carolina's! And the actress that plays Frannie was a Miss University of Georgia. Which makes me wonder 1) Greek???? and 2) Where is Frannie supposed to be from?

I hope you mean, who could tell he would be southern?
Most of the real southerners that would have a rebel flag on their wall are either southern frat boy or really, really redneck. Plus, he has no accent.
I think the point is to make him look like he's from the Bible belt, but I think the rebel flag thing is unneccessary and pretty uncommon... the purity pledge thing is pretty close to true, and definitely something a small Bible study group would do. They need to have his Bible study praying for Calvin together or something...
Anyway, sorry, just bothers me when people stereotype southerners wrong, and this show is pretty "on" in other ways.

I only mean that he should have some type of Southern accent or at least be extra polite or something. I've lived in Maryland and Virginia, the two most Northern of the Southern states and people still had Southern accents and were extra polite. I just think that while they're playing to a bunch of the stereotypes they aren't doing two of the simplist things possible to make his character authentic.

I dunno, I'd say Dale is pretty polite... and not all southerners have thick southern accents, as evidenced by the girl who plays Frannie being from the Carolinas and not speaking with one... I myself was born in the south and raised all over before returning to South. I say y'all but I wouldn't say I have a strong Southern accent.

Dale has an accent. I can't remember if I really heard it last night or not, but I definitely noticed it last season.
P.S. I kind of don't hate Rebecca right now. She's decent sometimes. Don't like her w/ Cappie, but I feel for her in the situation.
And how was the crazy consultant not nicer to her? I mean her father's a senator, I would have thought she would have made point to be extra nice.

"Mid-Atlantic" thank you very much!!! 
In Maryland...those would be fightin' words!!! Lolz...
Nah, but the accents (...or lack-there-of), don't bother me that much; southern accents vary just like any other region's, so who knows...

Yeah, I mean really...Casey and Cappie just need to cut-out sending the puppy-dog eyes to one another and just get on it, already!!!

I lived in Annapolis for three years and it was ingrained to me by teachers, friends and the media that they are Southern. I think it must vary on the area of Maryland and who your talking to.

ITA accents vary, I think Southern accents prove that to be especially true. IDK, since my only complaint about the show is the lack of distinctive accents I'll just have to let it go.
