The Paper / int_d9fe8277	comment	I'm Standing Right Here: The show features several instances of cast members openly criticizing or mocking Amanda when she can hear them. Among these: Alex calls a strep-throat-stricken Amanda from a restaurant where he and some of the others are dining. She hears Trevor loudly remarking how much better a time they're having without her. In the same episode, Trevor gives a talking head interview in which he vows not to "have anything to do with" Amanda while she's sitting two desks away. After Amanda calls Alex into the hallway for a tense private conference, he returns to the classroom to brag to his friends about how he nodded along with her without taking her seriously.

The Paper / int_df1cb219	comment	Unsportsmanlike Gloating: Amanda lets out a happy scream when she sees her new title posted to the doorway of the newspaper room. Nobody else present seems all that pleased to hear it. Alex gets a lot of praise for his first-issue front cover, which prompts him to boast "I'm good at newspaper" and "Don't you wish you could be like me?"
