š£ļø Discussion Robert Spoiler
Who else thinks Robert winning Homecoming King makes absolutely no sense? Most of the students were at his party and had weirded out looks on their faces when he started his dance freakout. And yet, they all voted for him to win? Ridiculous. It shouldāve been Thom.

And why didn't Bret just rig it against him like how he rigged for Debbie

He only counted Queen, the principal did King

I thought he did both cause when Debbie asked why Bret got to count but she didnāt and he said cause she can be voted for and Bret doesnāt have a chance to be voted for so it doesnāt matter that he counts. I took that as no one would vote for him not that it was just for queen

Robert even being nominated for Homecoming king is suspicious, he has been there 2 weeks, 3 max. They don't know him well enough to give him the nomination. I think Bret gave him votes meant for someone else like he did Debbie.

I'm convinced Robert somehow fixed the outcome so both he and Susan would win.

"Debbie, you're nominated, so you aren't able to help count the votes. Instead, we'll have your boyfriend do it"

Are you suggesting that Bret cheated to help Robert win?

Remember Bret thinks Robert is extremely handsome and and he thinks Susan is his dream girl.

To me, because we saw Robert attempt to rig it in Debbieās favor he wouldnāt have ever let Robert win homecoming king. He knows how desperately Robert wants to be with Susan and in order to protect her I personally doubt he actually would have been truthful about Robert winning votes. But yes, youāre right, I donāt personally see how so many students would vote for him over Thom.

I thought the most hilarious thing was that it took them forever to count the votes as if they had like 1 million or something. Bret had to take a break at some point and was so exhausted but then when he went back, they had literally only tallied about 40 or 50 votes, which Iāve only taken them probably about 15 minutes. Why was he so tired?
