The New Characters of Season Two

Last night's season premiere of Glee introduced us to the following three new characters:

Sunshine Corazon (played by Charice Pempengco) is a foreign exchange student. She originally wants to be a member of New Directions but Rachel, worried about Sunshine taking her spotlight, scares her off into joining rival glee club, Vocal Adrenaline. I enjoyed seeing Rachel and Sunshine go back and forth singing with their version of "Telephone" by Lady GaGa, and I look forward to seeing more battles between the two of them throughout the season!

Sam Evans (played by Chord Overstreet) is a transfer student who just wants to be accepted by his classmates. Finn convinces Sam to try out for the glee club, but changes his mind after witnessing Finn get kicked off the football team. Sam ends up making the football team, replacing Finn as the quarterback. Now we have a rival for Finn, and potentially a new love interest for Kurt? That's the rumor, so we'll have to wait and see what happens with that. Could that "How many balls can you fit in your mouth?" joke have been a hint? Dun dun dun...

Last, but not least, we have a new football coach! Shannon Beiste (played by Dot Jones) starts off the school year by taking away some of the budget funds from Sue and Will. Sue and Will are simply not cool with that, so they decide to team up against Coach Beiste to "bring her down". Beiste has a very difficult time being accepted as a female football coach. Even though she acts tough to everyone, she's actually quite sensitive, and wants to be liked. I see her and Will becoming close friends.. maybe they can bring SUE down!




What did y'all think? Let us know in the comments. Personally, I thought the jerky arm movements that Sunshine kept making while she was singing "Listen" were a little annoying. She has a great voice though! I *do* hope that Sam turns out to be gay (because he's too pretty not to be), and I am super excited to see future interactions between Coach Beiste and Coach Sylvester. Can't wait until next week's BRITNEY EPISODE!!
