House arrest (A Degrassi rant)

Some of you may know that I watch this show called Degrassi. It's in it's 10th season and while I still like the show, I noticed there were an ass-load of plotholes. So, here I am and I'm gonna friggin' rant about it.

Let's talk about plotholes...


  • Towards the beginning of the season, Clare gets lasik eye surgery. People assume she's gotten her boobs done. That stupid slutfaced Jenna hears about this and tells Clare off about not loving her body the way God intended. So, if Jenna is all about being at peace with your body... How come this bitch ends up taking diet pills because she starts to get fat?
  • In season 9, Jenna McSlutfaced Whoreson steals Clare's boyfriend, K.C. Alli is Clare's best friend and is pissed about Jenna double-crossing her. She gets pissed again when Jenna accuses Clare of getting plastic surgery. Somewhere in the season, Alli actually starts to hang out with and talk to Jenna, without any real reconciliation. What?
  • Another thing about Jenna is that she ends up being PREGGERS by her boyfriend, K.C. Uh... what? We never ever hear about them being sexually active until this. Usually when a relationship is consummated on Degrassi there is a scene or some kind of allusion to the act. 
  • Drew is the new big man on campus. He's supposed to be hot or some shit. He also wants to be the new quarterback at Degrassi. These are both titles held by Riley. It comes to light that Riley is a closeted gay boy. Drew uses this information to blackmail Riley. Okay, fine. Then it's revealed that Drew's brother is a transgendered female. Okay, fine. Thing is.. Drew is actually really accepting of his brother. So wait, he doesn't like gay guys, but he embraces the transgendered?
  • Wesley is this dorky kid who can never catch a break... So I guess I shouldn't be surprised when I noticed that he's wearing two casts. One on each broken arm. Problem is... I DON'T FUCKING REMEMBER HIM BREAKING HIS ARMS.
  • This isn't really a plothole but I have two names for you. Sav and Holly J. For those of you who don't know, Sav is a bumbling idiot who used to be in a rock band and can't hold onto a good girlfriend because he's an IDIOT and because he's scared of his strict Indian mommy and daddy. Holly J is a former stuck-up rich bitch who turns out to be a really awesome, if not overly ambitious chick. In season 9 she is class/school president and does a damn good job of it. She's made to be a leader. In season 10, Sav's dumbass decides to run for school president after finding out that he's kinda popular. Either way, he friggin' wins because people think he got his then-girlfriend pregnant or whatever and then he realizes he's in WAY over his head because he has ZERO leadership skills. So then Holly J becomes the vice president by default and she helps him out with his president shit. Turns out Sav thinks Holly J is a hot piece of NOT Indian ass and is all like, "Hey, I like you. You make me bashful and shit. Let's go out." Holly J, who had just broken up with douchebaggish (but still loveable) Declan, of course declines much to our joy... But Sav keeps it up and Holly J caves after they make a deal that whatever romantic crap happens between them ends after graduation. WHAT?!? It doesn't make sense... AT ALL.
    So that's my rant. Regularly scheduled blogging shall continue shortly...
