oh, thinking into bribery, huh?

Tiff, Tiff, Tiff – what are we going to do with you? All the headway you have made to becoming a somewhat decent human are evaporating in the last few days.

Just be aware …

Ya know, some arcs are just hard to get into.

maybe Steffi will choose to room with the unknown 4th person leaving Tiff and Dez to room together.

Stef is puppet master, not you Tiffany. It looks like an Ann Eiffel move (bribery)? Think of the consequences if Stef turns down the cash or better yet ,tells Dez.

So she’s gonna bribe Stef to be her roomie and then steal her boyfriend.

So Tiffany is going to bribe the girl huh? The same girl who she plans on stealing her boyfriend from. The old high school Tiffany is back. Just when we all thought she matured.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz

Desdemona sounds like it is a sure thing that she will get Stef as a roommate. I wonder who is the 4th roommate is? Crystal?

Tiffany is clearly just thinking about paying Stef for getting some Pizza for when they’re all hungry in their Dorm. Shame on anyone who thought different! LOL

Oh Dez, you forgot who you are dealing with…

A bribe, you are going to be a great businesswoman, no question about it!

Stef might pick the 4th roommate instead?

We probably find out that Steff knows this ‘stranger’ and want to be with them

Little Ms. Tiff! I doubt if bribery would work here, but Tiffany wants to be a full, controlling participant in the quad life is sure. Surprise in store I predict though.

I wonder if Dez would be so keen on having Tiff in the quad if she thought she will have to room with Tiff as she seems to think that her and Tiff are going to be in different bedrooms while Stef may decide to room with the 4th occupant such as another cheerleader or Viper. Tiff and Dez would certainly be the “Odd Couple” if that happens.

Stefani acts like she has as much, if not more, money than Tiffany, so why try bribing her?

Dez is soooo #€%!* POSITIVE…

In panel 1, Tiffany says “your” but means “her”.

Meanwhile odds are starting to look bad for my recent out on a limb prediction that Dez or Tiff would suggest a specific potential fourth suite resident in the next few days. Oh, well. We’ll see.

Rethink, Tiff. Stef is no prize roommate.

So Tiffany is thinking of bribing Stef to be her roommate, so Tiff can steal Steff’s boyfriend? I’m sorry, to me this is proof positive that these arcs originate from Karen, not Greg. Pure soap.

Tiffany … better the risk of being with a stranger than the certainty of being with someone who constantly denigrates you, with a big smile on her face! I think Tiffany sees Stefi as her equal, without realizing that Stefi sees her as an inferior. Dez would be more able to handle her and maybe make Tiffany understand that she and Stefi are very different.

Oh for Gaw’s sake!

Tiff!

Just get a private room again, but this time ON-HALL-A!!!!

Gee-Bus!!! ;)

Didn’t Dez make some special brownies in the past? That might be a better bribe than cash.

Dez is into astrology, right? Seems like the kind of person who would have the basics down at the very least. Now, Tiff is obviously a fire sign (I’m guessing Aries, second choice Leo) so you’re going to want to pair her with an air sign for maximum compatibility, most ideally a Libra.

Dez herself is obviously a water sign, so that combination ain’t gonna happen.

EEEEEYEAHHHHHHHH!!!

They’re assuming Stef doesn’t know anybody else that she’d want to room with.

My guess is she’ll pick one of her other friends and Tiffany and Dez will be rooming together.

This isn’t the first time Tiffany has been willing to treat other people like crap in order to meet her own needs. She did that to Bets and Gunther with TTFT. Maybe this time around she will get taught a lesson about respecting other peoples’ wishes.

This add is taking an ugly turn. A regressive the .

If Tiffany does that once, she may have to keep that up the entire semester.

This will not end well..

Tiff is back in her high school days, but with more spending money

Hmmmm….me thinks Stef will not be an ideal roommate. Slob? Crazy? ??? Meanwhile, the stranger will be the best!

that’s cheating.

Aren’t they juniors/seniors by now? Likely they are going to have few fellow upperclass residents especially since they attend a commuter state university. For example at the University of Oregon: “According to UO Admissions, 14 percent of sophomores lived on campus in 2016, while 77 percent of freshmen lived on campus. Even less upperclassmen lived in the residence halls — just 6 percent of juniors and 1 percent of seniors.”

You know this will backfire somehow, don’t you Tiffany?

Tiff doesn’t even really want Stef except as a pathway to Kip. Tiff hasn’t thought through how things would be living with Stef if Kip becomes Tiffs boyfriend. And besides, on campus housing usually has a priority for freshmen, so if Tiff and friends are sophomores or higher, they generally move off campus anyway to some near by apartments. Dorm living is never all that desirable.

And that’s why I’ll never move into the dorms.

But I thought Dez said she was going to have a quad, and wanted Tiff to join her and Stef and a fourth un-named person.

Tiff did better as a person when she was broke.

Tiff’s gotta Tiff…

It will be Steff and Tiffany after Dez steals Kip away from our new, perfect bimbo.

My prediction is that the stranger Dez ends up with is going to turn out to be really cool.

It would be interesting if Stefani broke up with Kip, and went the route Tiffany did with weight gain. Or maybe she won’t want the diva competition for the bathroom. Somehow this attempted bribe will backfire.

It would be interesting if the mystery girl was Crystal. Tiffany needs her old BFF back.

Are we sure that a return to the dorms is a lock? Probably so because it seems like Tiffany arc ideas are becoming pretty repetitious.

Maybe they will have Hair across their…couch.

Sweet sunglasses!

I don’t understand. The whole reason whatsername asked Tiff to be her suitemate is so that they wouldn’t have randomly assigned suitemates. Now all of a sudden she’s all about randos?

Why doesn’t hippie chick take the new person. She seems to like to make new friends. You notice neither one suggested they room together…

What could possibly go wrong?

Why would anyone pay good money to room with a twit like Stef?! Tiffany you will get what you deserve on this one if you go that route. Stef is not a friend to her. Of course, she doesn’t really care about that. Her focus is all about Kip.

Having to make this choice will put Stefi in an awkward position. She will have to play favorites and hurt the other person. This is a terrible idea. Dez is usually smarter than this.

Yeah, this’ll end well.

This stranger is going to be amazing.

The possibility of Dez and Tiffany together as roommates if Stef chooses the 4th roommate. The hilarity of two full figure women sharing a room. It would be more hilarious if the 4th roommate has a connection to the ladies?

Don’t start a sentence with So.

if Tiff tries to give Steffi money in exchange for being her room mate Steffi will surely tell Kip and maybe Dez too if they have been in touch.

A leopard does not change it’s spots

What is happening? Tiffany and Dez look like a couple of dumpy, uncaring frumps. At least we still have romance with Bets and Gunther, and Nil is out calibrating his new odometer so he can tell how far he can go with Bernice.

I’m wondering if Tiff is still cut off from her dad’s money or if she’s still doing nails or something. Apparently she has some cash at this point.

Tiffany has had a long history of being self-centered, with an occasional little fib or two. But this is the first time I’ve ever seen her intend to commit outright fraud. And against Dez of all people, possibly the kindest most caring character in the whole strip. Shame on her and I’m done defending her.

nicely drawn, nice setup. Of course it will never remain a secret and will poison things to come…

Well, maybe this will end with Tiff being rejected by Kip and shamed for trying to steal someone else’s bf again.

Again, assuming that really is her plan. It seems too stupid to be, yet we’re talking about Tiff here.

She’s her father’s daughter.

And why doesn’t Dez and Tiffany room together?

I think Tiffany has LOST the “Freshman 15” as was pointed out in a previous strip. Maybe Dez “took” it? ;)

She’ll never change. Even after everyone stood up for her when Ann Awful was around. She is still the same pretentious jerk.

So…she’s going to buy her off AND THEN steal her BF? Savage!

This is getting off to a very bad start. Now that Tiffany has plenty of money again will she revert completely to her old spoiled ways? I really hope not. I also do not understand why ANYONE would want to live with Stef. She just doesn’t seem like a nice person to me and she’s behaved very badly toward Tiffany.

A leetle setback in character development.

I don’t get what she’s supposed to be buying off…

Does she really want a roommate who is “For Sale”. Cheap, too.

Is this the old story…money talks?

是缇芙妮…….. 摇头

cue the ominous music

For Tiff even to consider bribery to Get Stef is pathetic—especially given that she’s only really looking on Stef as a way to get to Kip….

Well, if Stef spends all her time in Kip’s room, then Tiff would essentially have a private room again for much less than she paid for the single. Bonus: gets to see Kip once in a while. Any more than that would be too painful to contemplate if Tiff actually falls for him. It’ll be painful enough anyway, I’m sure.

Even after all these experiences, we’re still a little challenged, aren’t we?

I never picked my roommate in college. Made it more interesting to see if it is a like or hate year.
