"Mind if I just touch your boobs for a minute, Lisa? How about you? Can I touch your boobs?"

What an awkward conversation that was to eavesdrop on, humm? 

Poking and prodding at the boobs was such a ghastly thing to witness and I felt sorry for Kim to have had to engage in such a thing.  It was embarrassing.

Obviously Dana is a nice girl and we all know she tries too hard and this is just another case of her trying to relate to Kim so that they are friends enough to “vacay” together in the future.  We all get that (this is a word that actually makes me sick to my stomach when I hear it).

The whole thing was just a tad bit sad to watch.

Let me tell you what I think was really happening here…

A part of it had to do with the fact that Dana was trying to engage in small talk and, for some reason, commenting on Kim’s boobs was the only thing she could find to small talk about.  In the real world we call this…

Brown-nosing.

…and that’s precisely what Dana is becoming known for, which is not such a good thing. 

She’s trying too hard and this spells I N F E R I O R I T Y complex.  Dana is feeling out-of-place, as though she really doesn’t belong in this crowd, so she’s trying to find every which way she can to get close to somebody who matters…and fast.

In other words…Dana needs a close friend who will embrace her so she can be brought into the inner circle before the season is up.  If she hasn’t succeeded in bonding with someone, she cannot be a part of the franchise because she is unable to contribute anything to the team. 

She’s selected Kim because Kim has a tremendous amount of need to be accepted, too, and Dana is thinking that there’s acceptance in numbers.  So if she can just “connect” with Kim, then the pair of them can start having lunch dates and some kind of drama will inevitably ensue.

Somehow she’s not connecting on any real level with anyone within the group and we all know that she certainly can’t go touch Camille’s boobs.  She can’t touch Kyle’s or Adrienne’s.  Getting close to Brandi could be the kiss of death since Brandi isn’t quite fitting in either, and touching Lisa’s boobs is simply not up for discussion.

In other words…Dana is desperate to find a friend and will try anything to make that connection, including complimenting someone on their boobs…and, even that, is not working, is it?

Instead, she’s just looking like the brown-nosing fool that she is.

"Look. I'm a professional brown-noser. Leave me alone."

Look, all kidding aside, I like Dana. It’s just becoming increasingly difficult to get to know her when her conversations tend to be shallow and meaningless.

What do you think about Dana?  Have you enough to form an opinion, yet?

This girl’s gotta find a different voice because what she’s doing just simply isn’t working…and we want it to work.  We’re rooting for you, Dana.

Your friend,
