User blog:AustinDR/That Infamous Scene in "Lynn-er Takes All"

So, you would know already from some of my blogs and comments that I felt that the scene in "Lynner" of Lynn's gums bleeding after excessive brushing should've been kept in the episode. Of course, the scene was replaced with Lynn simply losing a tooth. So, I feel that I should explain why I preferred that scene over the one we got.

For the most part, I'm not overly squeamish. Of course, I have my limits such as with anything regarding Lily. However, with the scene of Lynn's gums bleed, I found it kind of fitting. It is a known fact that if someone were to brush their teeth too hardly it would lead to their gums bleeding, so it seemed like a more likely outcome than Lynn losing a single teeth. I also felt that it accentuated Lynn's psychosis. Ever since losing that one game, Lynn starts to break down in a frenzied effortof compensating for that loss. Because of that, I'd expect for her actions to be more sporadic than normally, because she is determined to be the first to succeed. As a result, I'd take it to mean that Lynn had reached a point where she would care less about her physical well-being just as long as she won. I've seen seen times of people deliberately pushing themselves beyond their breaking point without as much a care for their health. Really, I feel that this is the zenith of Lynn's insanity.

Or...I just found it morbidly funny. Or both. Or maybe the latter one.
