Original 90210 pilot episode shitlording I was watching the pilot episode of the original Bevery Hills 90210 series (nostalgia!) and LOVED one scene. In it, popular Kelly is sitting at a table in chemistry class on the first day of school. Whoever sits next to her will be her lab partner for the year. An obeast waddles in and tries to sit next to all sorts of people, who frown and give the empty seat next to them to ANYONE else. Obeast gets to Kelly, who snootily says, "This seat's taken."  "By who?" The obeast sneers.  "By her!" Kelly says triumphantly as Brenda Walsh, new girl with the clothes that scream "Midwest transplant," walks into the room.  Tldr: popular girl would rather take a chance on a new girl dressed like a dork than an obeast.
