OMG...i swear I was not plagiarizing Acey's review

Okay, so I wrote a review of Amy Dixon's Ultimate Fat Burn. After I wrote it I went to admire it (and proofread-- I seem to prefer to do this after the review has been submitted and cannot be edited. It is very useful.). Anyway, I read Acey's review after reading mine and it turns out that she wrote something exactly as I did-- about the class laughing at everything Amy said and we both used all caps for EVERYTHING!

I shall immodestly chalk this up to great minds thinking alike.

BTW-- the class really does laugh at EVERYTHING. The comments ranged from the less than mildly amusing to ever so slightly amusing.

Hehe Roz, I'll accept that "great minds" rationalization! Glad to know I wasn't the only one going, "What the hell is so funny?"

I know. I had the same thought.
I guess they were all trying out to be in her next video?

At least you know that you and Acey have similar exercise tastes. So if she likes or hates something, chances are you will too.

I've been known to read Acey's reviews before writing my own and thinking, "Darn it! She already made the points I was going to make!"

This is why it's nice to have more than one review. Now, I know Acey, so when she says the class laughs at EVERYTHING I believe her. But if I didn't know who she was, I might think, "Is it really that bad?" Now that there are two reviews saying the exact same thing there can be no doubt. (And while I've never really seriously considered this DVD because it's not my style, that's something that keeps me from ever adding it to a "to be considered" list, so it's nice to have that confirmation!)

I just read both reviews. They each make points that the other does not make, and then it's funny to read, "they laugh at EVERYTHING".

So, I guess they really do laugh at EVERYTHING!

LOL you guys. Yes, they really do! I mean, at one point Amy says something like, "I'm short" or whatever. Screams of laughter ensue.

The class came off as a touch dimwitted.
