* CoolLoser: Played with (or [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zagged)]]. On one hand, Jenny and her friends are not particularly popular and it's always emphasized that the Pops are the ones on top of the social food chain, even though they're much friendlier and far more fun to be around than the Pops are. On the other hand, Jenny ''does'' win the class presidential election over Addie in ''Madame President'' and this sticks for the rest of the series, and her friends' webcast in ''Caught in the Web'' wins over the Pops' when the Pops stop making theirs after it ends in disaster.
