I would think they'd do well in the talent part of the competition.
It's the interview that kills them.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Are you saying Tim thinks I'm ugly?
Hm. I'm going to go find a hotter security team, now. Hmph.

Are you saying Tim thinks I'm ugly?
I'm saying for a man who words for a living, he needed to have been more on the ball.
I know Tim thinks you're a cutie patootie. We discuss it at the meetings. Just not a big one.

Well, we don't invite them to our meetings, so maybe we should olive branch this thing.

KAT! You are so totally invited to my meeting. My meeting in the ghetto. Maybe we could go to that Starbucks you like so much, in the wonderfully atmospheric University Village. ita is invited too, if she can find it. Allyson is always invited, but if she comes I'll need to wear lots of makeup just to sit next to her, because she's so pretty. So I'd like some RSVP's. The topic of the meeting could be the new release date of the Firefly movie, which is my birthday. Which makes Firefly cooler, in my opinion. We shall discuss what kind of stationary to use for the thank you letters, for everyone involved. Here is a first draft, to review before the meeting:
Thank you, Tim, for helping to create something so cool. You did such a good job with that show, that I can't wait to see more of the characters that you helped develop, and how they will die. Sincerely, etc.
