If that is the case, wouldn't you think she would already has been thrown out again considering it seems she's not part of the restaurant (anymore)? She's the college bicycle, you should be paid to fuck her, not the other way around xD
That is a fair point maybe it was before the restaurant maybe he gave her a free ride the whole time she's there for a free ride haha , but the other side of the coin is given how stupid/ ditzy her character is put across as how did she get accepted in the first place and remain in the school if she's potentially failing, if it's not that the only other possibilities I could think of are that she's actually fairly smart and got in on grades and passes her tests and her being stupid/ditzy is all just a persona or that she has family connections and potentially a sizable donation has been made to get her in and keep her there , if you have any other ideas around it let me know , personally I would like a bit more back story on her for that reason

Also maybe he set her on the path of being the college bike haha like she was all shy and innocent before that happened then afterwards she became a cock gobbler haha

I already bet my left nut on summer 2026 :HideThePain: :4Head:
Too ambitious, seeing trends, there's uptick of 100 days on development time, which will push Episode 12 for 18 months approx. So it will be Either August or September 2026. Are they counted in summer season or Monsoon season I don't know how they categories it in Europe.

The incident with Mona where Quinn mentioned Burke, Burke getting nervous and changing his attitude when Maya told him about the free tuition rumor related to the HOTs and Quinn angrily storming out of his office in EP10 with Sarah, Melanie and Camila confirming in EP11 that the Restaurant is no longer active.

If he has no links with the Restaurant how do you interpret those scenes ?
My interpretation:

- Mona tried to find a client, but chickened out. Burke was there (he was either Mona's intended customer who didn't know who he was, or he saw Mona trying to find a customer, or he saw a crying student and wanted to know what was going on).
Mona is a risk to Quinn and the Restaurant because she knows, but ultimately doesn't want to participate. So she puts pressure on her, using Burke's presence to make her understand that she's screwed because the head of the college caught her trying to prostitute herself. And it works, because Mona leaves.


- As for Quinn coming out of his office and Burke denying Maya the scholarship, I explain this by the “Join HOT, get a scholarship” rumor.
He's heard the rumor, so he calls Quinn in to talk about it (his role as head of the college). Quinn started the rumor to get more dishes to serve in her restaurant. Her great plan screwed up again, and worse it draws attention to the HOTs and the Restaurant, so she has to lay low for a while and close the Restaurant.
As for Maya, granting her the scholarship is the same as making the rumor true. Hence the change of heart when she says she's a HOT member.

I doubt Quinn will recruit a dumbass like Arieth for restaurant. I mean she isn't the best schener but she isn't dumb to pick her.

Nah, that just basically turns them into Sarah/Melanie 2.0.

Friendly banter would be hilarious. MC already has his reputation around campus regardless if you're a himbo or not, due to the leaks
I think that's the general vibe for the Pink Rose/Felicia/Leanne and now some of the Dorm girls. They're ALL just Mel/Sarah personas. And they have to be, or else the bloated Other's route wouldn't work. It's why Sally has her personality and sticks out. Sure, Pink Rose are strippers, Mel/Sarah are on board with the restaurant, and now some Dorm girls are just loose and flirty.

It's what makes Nicole/Lily stand out from Sandy, and Tara stand out from the Dorm girls (Tiffani/Kylie/Gina/Christie/Becky). They're not just flirty/DTF girls.
And for the opposite reason how Mel/Sarah stand out from the HOTs (Arieth/Ashley/Camila/Elena/Quinn/Riona/Heather), though Camila's is in both camps, she gets slightly more fleshed out.

I think Lily represents that ultimate persona of confident, DGAF attitude, but realizing she wants something more. (Whereas Nora is the ultimate, final form of that.) That was the vibe at the end of one of the episodes (can't recall) on the Others' path where the MC messages all kinds of girls, feeling alone. And how lab girl/Cinderella is the normal MO -- introduce a new girl (e.g. Tara, Tiffani, Camila, Riona, etc.), tease them at the beginning, and then develop them later.

But this is getting old, since we're in season 3, and you can't keep introducing girls unless they're just Mel/Sarah personas (Felicia, Leanne, etc.), and bloating the Other's path even further. Which seems to be antithetical to what Being a DIK is all about, and what players expect.
