This week we featured one of Scornette's favorite shows on the cover of the TGIF. Unfortunalty Ggargamel edited the original submission. The original cut line read:
With Bradford dead and his ghost long banished from Betty’s subconscious; Willi in loving possession of his posthumously conceived lovechild (carried by a surrogate, of course); Alexis, the wunderkind-turned-transgender-outcast-villain of the Meade empire on long-term vaca in Paris; Ignacio alive and kicking; and Hilda permanently separated from her smoking hot married boyfriend, one might wonder how ABC will wrap season 3 of this prime time soap opera with a bang. Perhaps with some drama for Betty? Will she go head to head with her new rich boyfriend’s disapproving mother? Will she finally be pulled to the morally questionable but fun, fun, fun side with Mark and Amanda? Well, one can hope. And watch. Ugly Betty airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC. (FPB channels 8 & 11 and in HD on channel 602)

Reports came back that Ggargamel wanted the opening sentence cut because it "rambled." Despite McSAS's best efforts the line was cut. Follwing promises of "evisceration in prose" and the explanition from Scornette that "The rambling was intentional. It was meant to reflect the dramatic tediousness that Ugly Betty manipulates to stay true to it's telenovella roots. THAT'S WHY IT WAS FUNNY!" we unwilling recognize that when writing for someone else...they do get to edit your work.
Even if they are wrong!
