  9.2 Superb

  This episode is about when Ron turns into a journalist and causes trouble. hide show

  Adrena Lynn’s extreme stunt show is all the rage in Middleton and around the world. However, when Adrena falls during one of her stunts, Kim rescues her, only to discover that a dummy was actually doing the stunt instead. Ron publishes the story in the school paper and it spreads around the world, which causes Adrena’s show to get cancelled. She seeks her revenge on Kim and Ron, using Brick Flagg as a trap, whom she believes Kim has a crush on because of an article Ron had used in the paper earlier on. This episode was the first appearance of Adrenna Lynn. This episode was one of my favorites because it had a lot of action and because this episode was controversial.

  3.2 Bad

  You see, this is why I skip to the comics. hide show

  Okay, take a beleaguered heroine, severely out-of-character behavior, inconsequential plotting and a weak villainess. Put them together and what do you get? You really wanna know? Okay, but you were forewarned.
  
  The villainess, such as she is, is Adrena-Lynn, an extreme stunts enthusiast whose supposedly dangerous (and dangerously imitatable) stunts lead to her cancellation. In coming to her rescue, Kim has a hand in exposing her as a fraud.
  
  This is just one more problem she has to face here, as her social life takes a nose dive when she's linked to footballer Brick Flagg, who's missing a few eggs from his dozen. Much to her horror (and my chagrin), the post-pubescent paparazzo behind the story turns out to be...her best friend Ron?! Did somebody say 'bad writing'? Yeah, me!
  
  And Adrena-Lynn seeks revenge on Kim by kidnapping her "boyfriend".
  
  Brick's lack of smarts inspires some laughs and Rachel Dratch (late of "Saturday Night Live") is good as the would-be bad girl. Despite these assets, this is not an episode you need to see more than once.

  5.7 Mediocre

  After Kim and Ron expose Adrena Lynn, a popular extreme TV star, as a fake, Lynn goes looking for revenge. Also, a misprint by Ron in the school letter has everyone thinking that Kim has the hots for Brick Flagg. hide show

  I have to admit, I was disappointed with the episode, especially with the villain. Adrena Lynn could have been much cooler than she was. The fact that she was just a big fake made her a lot less threatening. Even though the amusement park sequence had some pretty entertaining elements in it, I never felt that Kim was in any real danger. It would have been better if Lynn was a renegade extreme sports star, like Vin Diesel’s Triple X, and she challenged Kim to a one on one showdown. That would have made the episode more interesting. As far as the sub plot of Ron and his attempts to get into the school newspaper goes, I was a little disturbed that Ron would so quickly betray Kim’s confidence and print a flat out lie. Ron really acted out of character in this episode. On the plus side, I thought Brick was pretty funny, as the goofy jock. To sum it up, “All the News” wasn’t all that.

• (After Adrena Lynn is arrested)
  Kim: Listen, I'm sorry you almost plunged to your death on worldwide television...
  Brick: Kim, stop. I get it now.
  Kim: You do?
  Brick: Sure. You had that skinny guy expose Adrena Lynn so she'd freak out and set this whole "save Brick" thing just to prove you dug me. Kim, you're nice but you try too hard. If you'd just aske me out, that's cool, but this is too much. I'm sorry, but it's over.
  Ron: I can't believe it!
  Kim: I know!
  Ron: Headline: Quarterback sacks Kim Possible! She has a dislocated heart and will be out for the remains of the season!

  Adrena Lynn: I do extreme stunts for a living. You think I'm afraid of heights?
  Kim: You fake extreme stunts. Let the world see how brave you are when there's real danger. (Kim flies wildly) Not so extreme after all now, are you? Are you?!
  Adrena Lynn: (terrified) No.
  Jim & Tim: (watching it on television) Now she tells us! [edit]
• (Ron tries to talk some sense into Andrea Lynn)
  Ron: Adrena Lynn, you can not do this!
  Adrena Lynn: And why not?
  Ron: I'm the one responsible for you've been cancelled. I called you a fake.
  Brick: What?
  Ron: I guess takes one to know one. I made up that stuff about Kim liking Brick just to sell my story.
  Brick: Oh, harsh!
  Ron: It worked, kind of, but the thing is that if the fake part about you is what people like, what good is that?
  Adrena Lynn: You're right.
  Ron: From now on I'm keeping it real.
  Adrena Lynn: Me, too. Starting with my very real defeat of Kim Possible! (she laughs manically)
  Ron: Okay, that didn't work. [edit]
