Additional Comments: OMG-watching Natalie/Maria today was beyond laughable! She is bad enough speaking English, let alone a pathetic Mexican accent. It was painful, and almost insulting.

MA's portrayal of Maria was beyond bad. That accent was horrible. They should have coached her a bit more, unless they were playing it for laughs. It looked like an SNL parody. Jared was not much better, portraying Clint as the village idiot.

Nat:Fat?!

shes not at all. however they dont know how to dress her body type, they need stacy and clinton (from tlc).

Whether she's curvy or has a bad wardrobe doesn't matter- she has always looked 'plump' to me. -lj

Another thought-if Nat is curvy, then so is Marcie. -lj

Natalie can pull off wearing jeans, Marcie couldn't pull off a moo-moo.

And was Clint always a ignorant country bumkin? Jarhead's portrayal of him is downright insulting to the character.Good thing he didn't meet Miss V. Lord in this incarnation..talk about History changing!! he would not have gotten a second glance.

No, Clint was an intelligent newspaperman when he came on the show. The writers lost sight of who the character was--past and present.

My mom heard her the other day and commented, ''wow, she sounds Irish-Gaelic!''

...which, of course, was what I was already thinking!

I can't believe the director didn't just tell her to drop the accent... or at least pull back on it a bit.

I don't know what's going on with the directing team lately. They seem to be allowing the actors to go way too over the top. There must be an epidemic of toothaches among the cast with all of the scenery chewing that's been going on.

Maybe we have all grown to accustomed to heavy drama and don't know how to

Maybe we have all had too much heavy drama lately, but doesn't anybody

Oops! I lose my message, Did it over, then found it already on the board.
