For some, that's not such a bad thing. A few, like Avalie, would be able to take most of it in stride. Others, like Blain and Jarrod, rather deserve to be taken down a peg or two. But then there's those like Lyon, Emmett and Penelope. Imagining any of them having to sit through such a verbal dissection is ''not'' a pleasant thought.
