About the Show:
Who's Hot and Who's Not?

At Kennedy High, it's all-out war between the popular students and the unpopular students, from the jocks that rule the school to the geeks that tend to keep to themselves.

The popular students include Brooke McQueen, the head of the cheerleading squad and the prettiest girl in school; Nicole Julian, Brooke's best friend, fellow cheerleader, and hell-on-wheels; Mary Cherry, a crazy Texan girl from an outrageously wealthy family; and Mike "Sugar Daddy" Bernadino, the star football player and a gangster wanna-be.

On the other end of the spectrum are the unpopular students: Sam McPherson, the smart girl; Harrison John, a geek who has a crush on Brooke; Carmen Ferrara, a girl outcasted due to her heavy stature, but underneath it all she has a heart of gold; and Lily Esposito, a tomboy activist.

Brooke McQueen and Sam McPherson become instant enemies. Their rival is made worse when their parents marry each other, straining both their home life and their school life.
