KEVIN - "SLOW LEARNER?"
FROM NONAME131: "I like Kevin and everything but is he slow or what? When Charlie was talking to him about the background check and he was all nervous about what Kevin found on him I was like, duh Kevin doesn't it spark your interest a little that he is so worried and defensive."

TODD AND BLAIR ABUSE STARR!
FROM PATKAY4: "Is anyone else bothered about the child abuse that Todd and Blair perpetrate against Starr? I mean no rational parent would treat their child in this way. I think Starr should be taken away from both of them. I am horrified that TPTB would stoop this low for laughs.!"
