Identity

I'm willing to bet that Betty is actually Candice.--Ted C 10:33, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

• That seems to be the direction they want us to think they're going. And regardless of how it pans out, Betty's power as already expressed fits the profile of our definition of "illusion" well enough that it should be mentioned.--E rowe 10:43, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Miss Pricher

I don't think there's any way this can be a reference to Betty. First, the cheerleaders call her "Betty Somebody" earlier (implying they don't even know her last name) and don't realize she's not a new student. Second, I just can't imagine Betty having a conversation with these cheerleaders about the Homecoming theme (nor can I imagine her giving a crap about it). I think Pricher is almost certainly the cheerleading teacher.--Hardvice (talk) 18:46, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

• Great point about "Betty Somebody". I agree, I was thinking about the idea that Betty probably couldn't care less about the Homecoming theme--I'd imagine she'd avoid the event like the plague, and not think the theme was genius (unless, of course, the theme was to ditch the dance, or to crown the fugliest girl there). -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:06, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
  • Plus, when people legally change their names, they don't usually change their last as well. So Betty's last name should still be "Willmer/Wilmer" --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 22:53, 27 June 2007 (EDT)
    • Sorry, the part about not changing their last name isn't true. As we know, Sarah Ellis became Eden McCain. Hardvice might be right about Betty not caring about theme, but then again the theme might be goth-related and then she would care about it. Also, the comment of "Betty Something" is addressed to the brown-haired student and the person who mentions Miss Pricher thinks it's genius is hidden.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:25, 27 June 2007 (EDT)
      • Eden might not have legally changed her name. She could have just started signing her as Eden McCain on documents and such. --Hero!^(talk)_(contribs) 23:46, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

A brunette, a blonde, and a redhead enter the bathroom

This sounds like the beginning of a joke ;). Although brunette is commonly used to refer to any dark brown or black hair, it actually means "little brown-haired girl". Though it is pretty minor, I would prefer accuracy, but I can't think of any terms for black hair that would work. Maybe thats why I haven't heard any jokes about someone with black hair ;). -Lөvөl 04:13, 27 June 2007 (EDT)

• Brunette can alternately mean someone with brown hair or someone with dark hair. Though "black-haired" is more accurate, "brunette" is perfectly acceptable. Personally, I find it tiring to read "the black-haired girl did this", "the girl with black hair did that", so I changed it up for some variety. If you want to change it, feel free. :) (Thank goodness she's not bald, eh?) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:29, 27 June 2007 (EDT)
  • Problem solved. Ryan Odagawa asked that we specify the lighter-haired girl as being brown-haired, and the other as being black-haired. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:10, 27 June 2007 (EDT)
