Senior Poll

Overview

Kelly stops attending her eating disorder group because the girls with more severe cases unnerve her. Kelly wins "Most Beautiful" in the senior poll, while Dylan is "Most Handsome." Kelly suspects that everyone judges her entirely on her looks, and blows up at Dylan and Jackie. Dylan lets her read a section from his manuscript in which he describes his feelings for her. Brenda feels isolated from her classmates when she fails to win anything in the poll. She decides to apply to the University of Minnesota. Brandon and Steve take Jim and Cindy to a Lakers game because they can't get dates. They do not arrive until nearly halftime because of Brenda's big news and a traffic jam. Steve wins the chance to take a halfcourt shot for $10,000, and makes the shot. He anonymously donates the money to the school to revive a summer camp for elementary school students. Music: "Man on the Moon" by R.E.M. (#30, 1993); "Humpin' Around" by Bobby Brown (#3, 1992)
