I registered on Oxygen tonight just to be able post the same thought!
Me too! Yay - it's not just me!
I LOATHE her! I've loathed her since the very first episode, when she threw that idiotic, appalling, cringe-inducing, fake, "I'm on a reality show - watch me get myself some dramatic screen time" tantrum at the Doritos in the "cheat" cupboard.
I loathe her eye makeup.
I loathe her attitude.
I loathe her non-stop complaining (even when she's not actually complaining, it *feels* like she is).
I loathe that thing above her lip.
And I especially loathe how jerky and spastic she is on the dance floor, and how she keeps making those constipated faces at the audience when she's dancing (I assume she thinks they're sexy, or something).
She's a whiny, repulsive, uncoordinated mouth breather who makes me see red every time she's onscreen (especially when she's talking about "I'm going the distance" or "just doing it" or whatever moronic "self-empowerment" cliche she decides to spew that week in her confessionals).
But today? If I were anywhere near her, I'd happily slap the hell out of her. To go on and on - totally cluelessly - about how she's going to call her mom and dad (you know - because her sister-in-law was maybe going to have a baby. Because what's a partner's potentially fatal condition when compared to the earth-shattering importance of talking to your parents? Because it's, I don't know, a Tuesday? And someone on Planet Earth MIGHT have had a baby?)!
To be so gleeful about having won a chance to have a casual mouth-breathing chat with her parents, when poor Ruben - an obviously nice, genuine, all-around good guy - completely broke down. Because his partner of 20 years is all alone, and going into the hospital. After recently surviving a bout with CANCER.
You know, in that clip of Ruben, Pinky, and frigging Alicia hanging out in the common room, when Pinky basically told Ruben that she'd give him her call if she won, I really thought that Alicia would have clued in, at least a little, to what the right answer was in this situation. You know, like when Pinky hugged Ruben, and then Alicia took her cue and jumped on both of them, I really thought that she was at least following in Pinky's obviously more socially adept footsteps. Monkey see, monkey do, right?
I should have known better. She's a worthless piece of crap, and every week, I'm shocked that they keep inflicting her on us.
