There's still a whole semester left! Why they gotta leave us hanging like that? Anyway, it was great to see Amanda finally assert some control over her staff, specifically over managing editor Alex, who, in the final minutes of the episode, still wasn't over the fact that he was not chosen as "In Chief" and was still acting like a giant baby. Amanda, if you're out there, I just want you to know that I went to NYU, too (and I applied early, just like you!). Everything gets so much better. You'll find your niche and you'll meet people who appreciate your eccentricities and quirks, and who won't judge you based on the person you used to be when you were 14. One day, when you're walking from Bobst over to Main Building, it'll hit you all of a sudden, like, "Whoa, I live here! I'm gonna make it after all." And then you'll throw your hat up in the air and twirl around. (JK.)

Adam (whose dance and shirt in this clip is amazing) triumphed over the football jock by winning Homecoming King. And Amanda was asked to the dance by a kid from the Latin Club, only to be let down after he got grounded and was forced to back out. Seriously, what the hell did the Latin Club kid do to get grounded? Do kids in high school still get "grounded"? Anyway, props to Amanda for being the trouper she is and going to the dance anyway. Clip above, and after the jump, stills of Paper hotties.


Amanda's dad. Seriously.

The jock that lost the Homecoming King title to Adam.

And Trevor. Hot, asshole Trevor. Maybe it's just because he has the clearest skin of all the boys at The Circuit?
