when she goes to do "girl talk" with the pizza and beer and she says "its light beer. and shes just gonna puke it up anyway" is this a reference to buliemia?
i never thought it was but they edited it out of the abcfamily version so it got me wondering

Yes, it's making fun of how everyone thinks pageant girls or models are bullimic.

Either it was a reference to buliemia or Grace was just being sarcastic, consedering that Cheryl was sort of childish (and probably hadn't drink so much beer before, since her parents didn't allowed her to play with fire, remember?)
sharei never thought of it as a ref to bulemia... i just thought it was bc she would be extremely drunk... i guess it works that way too

sorry that was a typo...I know how to spell and I know the dictionary is free
shareThis movie was peppered with throwaway lines, some better than others. I'm not sure you are supposed to "get" all of them 100%.
My favourite was during the finale of the competition when the girls are parading on stage and being introduced by Stan Fields, and he tells us that Miss R.I., Cheryl, is "a nuclear physics student with a minor in elementary particles" - or words to that effect. Hah! She's a total ditz... there were plenty others, I didn't hear them all, mostly because I was watching what was happening with the lead characters, and I think that's mostly the point, i.e. that a lot of the dialogue is intended as background and not to be taken too seriously. If you get a chance to watch it over a few times I'm sure there are be many other clever references to be picked up.
Yes, it is probably a reference to that. Many models try to stay trim by doing that *beep* In this case, it is beauty pagent contestants.
shareI thought bulimia, because many of these girls could use that strategy. It's still a thing. It also works that she is having her first drinks and seh's gonna barf. Both can be true, all depending how the listener takes it.
