** Gretchen. Regina comments that Gretchen isn't that pretty, implying that Gretchen is only popular for being rich, not for her looks like Regina and Karen and Cady. The problem? She's played by Lacey Chabert.
** Janis, who is played by [[http://www.joblo.com/moviehotties/picture_viewer.php?pic=/moviehotties/images/profile-gallery/orig/lizzy-caplan-gallery14.jpg Lizzy Caplan]].
** To be fair, the producers were reluctant to cast Lizzy as Janis because they felt she was too pretty so they instead gave her an alternative look. Janis definitely dresses different from the Plastics which is why they hate her. She's never said to be not pretty.
