All the abuse is apparently knocking sense into his head, as opposed to out.

 
And Spike turns out to be the mature one of the episode. Who knew?

@Itsthinking  
Make herself look like she’s the popular one. She is a bit of an attention horse.

@anonymouspegasus  
If she doesn’t think it’s skin deep/shallow, why does she try to act like AJ?

@Itsthinking  

@anonymouspegasus  
Nope, it’s romantic and Trenderhoof has a crush on AJ. Rarity thinks its only skin deep.

@JusticeSnake  
He’s a travel writer. Which means he may/may not be writing about how Ponyville is a nice place filled with a bunch of nice locals as part of a travel guide to Equestria, but the places he looks at are generally considered popular. I’m thinking the conflict is centered around the fact that Rarity believes he would look at her boutique (and see it as a way to get more noticed) but instead he sees Sweet Apple Acres and thus interviews AJ.

@Itsthinking  
Trendermane-er-hooves, sorry, is a writer.  
He’s probably inspired to create a character based on AJ. Rarity, being, Rarity, retrieves her fainting couch.

@Background Pony #D0D8  
Reasonable.

The moral will be that you shouldn’t change who you are just to get an attention of a guy who can’t love the way you already are.

@DanielTepesKraus  
I already have predicted that it’s going to be Rarity trying to be Applejack, Applejack trying to be Rarity because she thinks she’s being made fun of, and Trenderhoof being completely oblivious and mentions how much he misses his wife.
 
Bonus points if what Rarity is jealous of is actually just him interviewing AJ.

I’ll bet you five Internets that’s how it ends: With Rarity not getting him and realizing she’s been neglecting Spike.

@gg666  
I honestly think this is sort of like a role reversal for them.

Just show her your long ass tongue and she’ll totally let you hit~

You were never even in the race, Spike.

opal and gummy do not give one buck.

Maybe it’s because you’re a kid, mate.

…I think that may be the point
