If you’ve been wondering how the old vets would mesh with the current students of West Beverly, here’s your chance to make a snap judgment.

My first thoughts? ’s face looks puffy, AnnaLynne McCord is as disgustingly beautiful as she was on Nip/Tuck and Shenae Grimes looks like she’s still at Degrassi.
