I may be biased *coughravenfangirlcough*, but it seems to me that Raven was cast as the bitch. In the first episode where she stole the wig and hid it, it looked soooo staged-- and so did the second episode's bitchiness. The Raven we can see "elsewhere" - and my source here is mostly youtube, but also fb and the like, appears to be a different person to me - and the last thing I would say about *that* Raven is "bitter" - she acts that way in the Absolut plug youtube vid, but also warns everyone that "this shit is going on youtube" and that Absolut are paying for it.

It strikes me as very naive of me to complain that a TV show does not allow me to get to know the real person behind it all, but yeah, it is kind of :( :(
