Replies to '03/16 Cheerleader Scandal'

I don't have issues with cheerleaders except that I used to be one in high school.   In retrospect I see now that it was ALL about status as a teenager - non-cheerleaders may not have been looked at as "have nots", but being a cheerleader surely placed you on the "have" list.  I think it goes to the issue of Brandi's family's perception that Brandi has been "wronged" by the legal system - that she had never been in trouble before so she should get a pass on her sole "oops".   

Besides, the topic of the show was "Cheerleader Scandal".   It wouldn't have been so "scandalous" if Brandi wasn't perceived as a squeeky clean cheerleader from a good family who made one mistake in life.
