We jump straight to the Spring Fair, but how much time passed? Had Stef ever leave for the cheer competition or has she returned from it? My impress was that as soon as she got the money from Dex she left for the competition while the time from Dez giving her the money to talking about the tea to making and packaging it was a matter of hours.
That the southern tart has caught tiff flirting with kip will cause stormy weather but we knew that would happen so… ‘ho hum.’
One of the rare cases where I think everyone would be happier if the official couple broke up and a new one will born. But I don’t think Stef can accept that Kip will leave her for Tiffany without reacting violently. I’m afraid there will be a big scene and many will get hurt. It could become the fight everyone will talking about during the Spring Fair.
Kip can’t throw her over for Tiff without all-out war ensuing in the dorm room. Now, if Stef won the competition and got a sweet offer to transfer, she might throw Kip over and move. However, since Kip’s used to getting the goods, I can’t see him with perpetual virgin Tiff. It’d all make great fanlit, for sure.
Kip looks very happy instead of annoyed as he always does with Steph. Maybe he will succomb to the incompatibiliTEA and break up with Stef? I love the words he makes up with Tiff – sereniTEA and BeauTEA. I bet he has not had any serenity since dating that big-mouthed whiny cheerleader. I bet Stef wins the competition but loses Kippy.
Fair time baby! Will this kip and stef relationship finally end? Will there be fights? And will knute and crystal return? The answers are probably but we sadly wont be rid of her, check yeah and likely hard no but I gotta have some hope in the strip where hope and speedy narratives go to die
Alas, no Hottea Stef. Possible but they were talking about our beloved Eroteac Exoteac Sextea Sextea Sextea, Ann❤️Eiffel. Ann❤️Eiffel who makes all lowly worms Lustea and dips her cookies in their tears. Our Beloved Ann❤️Eiffel is, indeed, The Queen of the Teases. We ❤️ Ann ❤️ Eiffel. TTFN, Count fans. Until tomorrow… Count Out.
I can’t wait till we’re officially done with the tea puns. I do hope they don’t end up together. Kip doesn’t really interest me and Tiff can do better. Stef being miserable is funny though.
I absolutely love the new Tiff. But why did she wear such ill fitting clothing to the Spring Fair? I know she gained weight and then lost it to be an appropriate size. But usually, her clothes fit better. I want Tiff’s transformation to happen to Steph too. The cheerleaders I knew in college were hard workers and got good grades. They were athletes on athletic scholarships. They worked just as hard as the football/basketball players for less recognition. I dated an opera major who was a cheerleader for two years. His bestie was a chemistry major who had plans on being a pharmacist. Neither of these were academic slouches. Even the golfer I dated wasn’t an academic slouch. He had to be on the links at the crack of dawn to get in a round of golf (with his coach following the team) every moring. In the evenings they would go practice their swings. He was a theater major.
Stephanie isn’t dumb, not when it comes to men anyway. She’s probably dealt with Kip’s roving eye in the past and knows exactly how to squash this little flirt party.
Why does everyone assume Kip will throw over Steph for Tiffany? He’s a horn dog, captain of the football team, used to flirtatious girls throwing themselves at him. Tiff is a little more mature, but so far I haven’t seen more than flirting back. In fact, I’ve seen little character development about him at all. He’s just a convenient hunk so far.
Kip seems amiable to flirting with Tiffany. Is it out of sight, out of mind regarding Steff? Wonder how loud she will get in sarcasm, hurt or anger? Have a cup of tea! ;-)))
Did anyone notice the tea is now $12?? Wasn’t it going to be $5? After years of being shut down, it’s good to see Tiffany flirting and being open to a relationship again. Will hilarity (or a catfight) ensue when Steph figures out Tiff is trying to muscle into her relationship with Kip?
Stef does not feel threatened by Tiffany, not yet anyway. Stef thinks no man would want Tiff since she is a few pounds overweight. She may feel differently if she thinks Kip is flirting with Tiffany.
Don’t you think this is leading to a breakup of Kip & Stephanie? He & Tiff seem to be getting on very well. I do hope they do and show Steph some comeuppance because she’s a selfish narcissistic girl.
What stands out to me is that all this time when Kip has been with Steffie, there was never a smile on his face; he was always expressionless, sullen (mostly) or looking down (at the floor). These past few days/weeks as he has become involved with the tea business and interacting with Tiff, Kip seems happy and engaged. What will happen now? I have a feeling Steffie will take his arm and guide him away and that Kip may just comply; or will we see a new Kip willing to express an opinion?
