This program is brought to you by The Corporation: Because Your Life Can Always Be Better™.


You probably know The Corporation for its awesome products



and barrier breaking television programs like “Girls Gone Rumspringa”




but this special episode brings us back to The Corporation’s roots - The Miss Team Dream Beauty Pageant!!!!

No one ever expected a plane full of Teen Dream beauty contestants would crash (don’t worry, most of them get killed off so you don’t have to follow the story of 50 different pageant girls), but crash it did.

Now the girls find themselves on what they believe to be a deserted island, but what is really The Corporation’s secret headquarters. Not only that, but the face behind The Corporation/the Miss Teen Dream pageant (now presidential hopeful) is there and may just be the devil in disguise . . .

[insert audible gasp] . . .


(too soon? Naaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.)

Follow along as the girls not only perfect their talent for the pageant



but learn how to survive and maybe even kick a little ass



Oh, and make sure you stay tuned in so you don’t miss out on the super sexy pirates of “Captains Bodacious”



Whoops, I said SEXY pirate . . .




*End Promo*


Okay, have you been looking for a laugh and to read something that is NEVER serious (at all) and is just fun and fluff and completely over-the-top????? If so, read this. Completely adorable and so much better than I was expecting.

Uhhhhhh, you're plane wrecked and you have, like, nada supplies. I don't think her hair is what you'd be smelling . . . .

Kelly (and the Book Boar) Thanks!

Both gifs are from Saturday Night Live. The first was one of the fake commercials (like GOP Tampons or something like that) and the second was Jason Bateman/Will Forte/Jason Sudakis doing "Mumford & Sons".


Liz* Fashionably Late Great review, Kelly. Also, epic use of GIFs there ^^

Jeff Funny stuff!

Does this mean the end (hopefully) of Honey Boo Boo gifs?


Zombieslayer⚡Alienhunter I'm thinking Maze Runner meets Mean Girls.


Zombieslayer⚡Alienhunter Oh and I CAN'T get over the Mama June and Honey Boo Boo gif XD
I know, I know, waayyyy out of date, but, dammit I love them.


Shelby *trains flying monkeys* I have already liked this review but i came and stole gifs...and ran.

I made so many status updates. Holy shit no wonder no one stuck around for the review!

OMG I am so glad this review was bumped. I don't remember seeing it. And it's awesome!!! I think you outdid yourself with these gifs...

Fabulous updates too. I want to read this.


Kelly (and the Book Boar) Thanks Sh3lly! This is one that probably deserves s higher rating than I originally gave it because I tell people to read it all the time.


Liz* Fashionably Late Bumping reviews!


KaleidoscopicCasey The gifs on these updates were MAGIC! This is going to have to get moved up on my to-read list.


Kelly (and the Book Boar) Read it! Especially if you're having a bad day. It's so OTT and hilarious.
