Diet Pills at Brenda's Slumber Party?

[@hd-xc2lz]

Love Amanda's near instant personality reversal starting from teary confession. Classic 90210.

[@rachybaby72]

Except that maybe that wasn't her personality.

[@stephendennis5969]

One meltdown and she’s ready to down a box of cookies? 😂 I hate myself. We don’t want you to hate yourself? Ok I don’t hate myself. and SCENE!

[@kristinazubic9669]

She’ll go back and forth for awhile. If she were a real person, that is. She just had a moment of “why am I doing this??!” If she were a real person, there’d be more moments like that, and then eventually she might dump them for good.

[@mccod035]

I mean it isnt unrealistic to let go and then do something you want like eat a book of cookies.

[@karlagordon4555]

Lol and how strange that Donna starts mooching for cookies literally as soon as they sit down 😂 talk about rubbing it in Amanda's face 😂

[@bonniehowell9206]

Yeah....I highly doubt that someone on prescribed weight loss pills (that are likely now banned in the US since the 90's) would all a sudden be down to binge on cookies because there was an intervention with people she barely knew besides Kelly.

[@GenetORyan]

Just wanna be then is motto ladies

[@evelyntremble6791]

This is one of my two favorite eps right after Kelly’s mom at the fashion show.

[@amberanderson528]

This is what good acting looks like. 👏 great scene they all did so amazing. Amanda should have been in more episodes she's a really good actress

[@hd-xc2lz]

But then she would have needed to remain a bad influence on Kelly, post-confession Amanda being not nearly as fun.

[@bonniehowell9206]

I laughed how what looked like an entire 30 day prescription exploded out of Amanda's purse as if she just dumped it all on her purse rather than kept it on the bottle. Also, if you're taking prescribed diet pills (that likely have since been outlawed in the US post 90's) how could an intervention with a group of people that you do not know besides Kelly all a sudden make you have an appetite to binge on cookies??

[@Markstubation01]

It’s called plot

[@criticwatcher]

Kelly lecturing about diet pills when she took them herself is funny.

[@DusktilDawn-xq8rl]

Everyone bitches about Kelly but she always gave excellent advice to anyone that was an addict, including her Mother. ❤I loved Kelly.

[@JPJP-gx5nm]

Kelly was a toxic friend. She usually gave good advice and then turned around and stabbed you in the back.

[@wesh-dg2jw]

am I the only one that remembers in the later seasons when it was Kelly's I think 18th bday she fainted in the bathroom cause she took diet pills? the real ones know lol.

[@seattlered3018]

Sometimes a person who's carrying a lot of personal struggle just needs love and acceptance to change their misery and loneliness into emotional connection and camaraderie.

[@evas9735]

I wouldn’t have wanted Amanda to stay sorry

Oh why? She magically became nice once they discovered her diet pills and knew she was gonna eat some cookies

She got these from Jessie Spano. She's so excited. So excited. So scared.

[@mycuzzinvinni]

this was the episode and scene that got me hooked! whatever happened to the character Amanda? They should have totally kept her on a regular

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

According to the producers, they couldn’t afford to at the time.

[@zacharywaterson4648]

She went on to play one of Buffy's friends in the movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think Hillary Swank was one too and she was on 90210 S8.

[@bonniehowell9206]

Who covered the topic of diet pills better; Beverly Hills or Saved By The Bell? Jesse's line "I'm so Excited....I'm so....scared" was iconic

[@ellylu83]

Jesse was on caffeine pills, although they made it look like she was on cocaine 😂

No comment that Amanda’s a great actress? She’s about 30 years old, but it’s still excellent line delivery especially for the time .

[@CrystalM1917]

You can tell she's not in high-school. The others are more believable even though I think they were a bit older than hs age too, Andrea definitely was.

Some people can take diet pills and keep it under control and some can’t. I know someone who once got hooked on diet and it was scary because she is my good friend and I hate seeing my friends in a dark place that they feel they can’t get out of. My friend was obsessed with want to look sexy in a thong bikini that she got hooked on diet pills in the process. Thankfully she realized that she had a problem and went to rehab and got clean before it really got out of control

[@michellebeatty7619]

Kelly was actually sweeter and more helpful than given credit for.

[@PhilospherDjPsychologist24]

That Serious Smolder that they did in teen soap operas 0:35 1:57, so cheesy, so preachy, so gripping

[@LaKellita]

The saddest thing is: 8th grade in the early 90's was really like that. Girls trying to lose weight when they don't need to. Notice how Kelly never said "you weren't fat". She said you were pretty, and then you lost all that weight and you were fine. So by Sophomore year, here we are 😢

[@KCFarms910]

Let me tell you it was hell. I wasn’t even that fat looking back but I was told you shouldn’t wear skirts because you’re legs are fat. I still to this day don’t wear skirts or dresses and I’m 44. That shit hurt.

[@malvavisco10]

Don’t you just love it when a serious addiction is completely resolved by a few kind words? Just like real life. PS this is giving “I’m soooo excited…. I’m so… scared!

Gabrielle carteris must have felt so uncomfortable in this scene,dont forget the truth about her real age hadnt come out at this early stage of the show yet,even the younger cast members looked a bit old for this slumber party scene

[@geoffoldread7684]

This is like 4 Afterschool Specials in one show.

[@davidmoorhead]

KELLY: My mom used to pop these like candy and I will soon as well. No Megaburger is gonna prevent me from getting down to 83 pounds. AMANDA: Look, Kel. I'm a 28 year old high school senior and I can do as I please so stop going through my bag and let me leave. KELLY: No you need to stay here with MY 28 year old high school friend who is the newspaper editor and eat food with us so you can stop being a bitch. BRENDA: Yeah...every time I thought that I should be eating diet pills like Sweet Tarts I thought, "geez...why don't we just eat ice cream with popcorn?" DONNA: Yeah! Let's do that! I can't even imagine what it would be like to take something like that. Think about all the trouble you could get into at school and all the graduation ceremonies you could possibly mess. I mean...COME ON! KELLY: Right, Donna. Let's just get that abomination of a snack that Brenda suggested. I'm going to make it seem like I'm eating it but I'm just gonna let it melt and then tell all of you I ate it. I don't have an eating disorder. Seriously. AMANDA: Okay, fine. I'll have this ice cream concoction. But then I need to get home so I can finish my homework and get ready for a low-level career in the fashion industry. /SCENE

Donna,kelly,brenda were still teens rest were about 30,when it aired brenda was 19,kelly 18,donna i think was 18 too,if you look grease, teen movies in 70 or 50s most of them playing teen were about 35 or 40 😂 look at henry winkler happy days

[@mariyaa111]

This reminds me of the Saved by the bell episode where Jessie gets hooked on diet pills and did the, “I’m so excited!! I’m so excited!! I’m so.. scared!” 😂😂

Jesse was on caffeine pills to keep her awake to study.

No she was spot on. She was trying to put her on the right path. She asked her open up about it. She wanted her to be healthy.

[@oceanegele3559]

The unrealistic part for me is girls like that wouldn’t invite an Andrea to a slumber party in real life. However, Andrea would be the type to talk to the rest of us ordinary people.

[@Haleycarol]

Brenda had no right talking to Kelly like that, I’m always a Brenda and Dylan shipper but it would make sense why Kelly and Dylan got togethar they literally grew up togethar as kids, and Kelly flirted with him before Brenda started dating Dylan, so Brenda shouldn’t have been mad

[@jameswilliams-zr8co]

actually many guys LOVE "fat chicks" and chicks with curves, women we love all shapes and sizes

[@joannachavez2093]

😂😂😂 sorry but the 90’s was insane. That’s why women had body image issues. Kelly’s response “and then you went on a diet and you lost all that weight. “ omg
