Glee Character Of The Week: Lauren Zizes

This week, we have Lauren Zizes as our Glee character. Her role is being played by Ashley Fink and has appeared in Glee since its first season episode titled "Wheels", first broadcast on November 11, 2009. Lauren is is the McKinley High AV club president and a state champion in Greco-Roman wrestling. She has an acerbic personality and is admired by Puck for being "a bigger bad-ass" than he is. She has a love of candy, specifically Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Lauren joined the glee club in the second season in episode 9 entitled "Special Education". With her addition, the glee club was able to meet the quota for sectionals.

Lauren's first solo performance was in episode 13: Comeback, where she sang "I Know What Boys Like" where she pictured all the people in the choir room almost naked.

She is one of the characters I like in the series that makes me laugh with her every appearance.

Glee Character Of The Week: Shannon Beiste

This week's Glee Character is Shannon Beiste. The role is being played by Dot-Marie Jones. She is better known as Coach Beiste and the head coach of the football team as replacement for Ken Tanaka.

She made her first appearance in the first episode of Season 2 (Audition). At first, Will and Sue did not like her because the budget for the Glee Club and the Cheerios was cut into half. The two did things to throw her out of the school but they weren't successful. In the later part of the first episode, Will turned againsts Sue and apologized to Coach Beiste. She was about to quit in episode 6 (Never been Kissed) because the boys (and Tina) from the glee club use mental images of Beiste in a compromising position to "cool themselves off" when it gets too hot and heavy with their girlfriends.Will talked to her and found out that she has never been kissed which lead him to give the first kiss to Coach Beiste.

Her first vocal performance was in episode 14 (Blame It On The Alcohol) with One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer together with Will.

Over-all, I can say that Coach Beiste may look furious but she is a kind-hearted person.
