@Pathfinder, what bothered me the most about that is Rainbow already had won that award as a filly. With the other two, there is a bit more conviction. Apple wants to uphold family tradition and Rarity didn't win 1st in her category. Rainbow was being far too pushy. I mean, they all were but...eh.
I agree with yah Kyoshi; I'm just saying that I'm pretty familiar with how she acted. She just reminded me of the "pure race" fan when it came down to it. XD
