We Break Down The Cast Of High School Reunion!
The guiltiest of TV pleasures returns to TV Land on Feb. 18, and we've got a sneak peek of the Class of 1988. This season's crop of High School Reunion classmates hails from Arizona's Chandler High School, and one of them is harboring a shocking secret! Since The Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss is also behind High School Reunion, we can expect that it may be The Most Shocking Secret Ever!
This season's cast includes a divorced couple who were high school sweethearts and ruled the school -- as Homecoming Queen and Jock, natch. And of course, there will be a few unwelcome guests to crash the party. So make yourself a Mai Tai, pop on a lei and get ready to join the classmates for some drama in Hawaii.
We highlight the ones to watch from the Class of 1988 here:
The Ugly Duckling: Jessica grew up to be a model and Playboy TV correspondent, and shows up to the reunion with a seemingly endless supply of colorful, skin-tight dresses. Does she think she's on The Girls Next Door? Jessica makes a beeline for her former crush, The Jock, and appears to be making a bid for Most Boy Crazy in the house.
The Jock: Tom seems like he should be labeled The Nice Guy, but instead he's The Jock. The mild-mannered former star baseball player instantly finds himself in a love triangle between his ex-wife (The Homecoming Queen) and The Ugly Duckling. When he gets the first Hall Pass of the reunion, which one will he choose?
The Homecoming Queen: Kara had it all in high school, including the affections of her boyfriend, The Jock. Twenty years later, Kara is single after divorcing Tom, which makes reuniting in romantic Hawaii a bit awkward, to say the least. Awkward for them, fun for us!
The Outcast: Maricella missed out on many good times in high school because she spent every minute with her boyfriend. Now, she's ready to make up for lost time as she arrives at the reunion single and ready to mingle. She forges a love connection with The Skate Punk, but will her former BFF get in the way?
The Cheerleader: Jenny was the prototypical Mean Girl in high school, which makes it all the more bizarre when she shows up at the reunion crying about how boys used to pick on her. Once she dries her tears, however, she turns into a party girl who makes catty remarks about the other girls and quickly becomes the person we love to hate.
The Wannabe: Liz was always just on the outskirts of the popular crowd in high school, and still holds a grudge against people like The Cheerleader. When Jennifer shows up, Liz fights the insecurities that kept her down as a teenager. We'd like to see these two settle their differences, preferably in a boxing ring.
The Preacher's Daughter: Heather was a good girl growing up, but severed ties with her former bestie, The Snob, shortly after high school. How? She wrote her a Dear John letter. When The Snob shows up at the reunion, letter in hand, both start crying and honestly, it's a little uncomfortable to watch.
The Player and The Prankster: Manny and Dennis, both popular athletes and partners-in-crime in their glory days, are from the Class of '89 and show up to crash the reunion. Together, they pull pranks on the others, get obnoxiously drunk and generally prove that the best days of their lives were in high school. We all know people like this, and that is unfortunate.
