How DID you understand that??
Also, since I am a total grammar hound, now that I understood what Sommer said -- I'd like to point out that Sommer's double negative means that she really knows something about everyone. "I don't (do not) know nothing about nobody." Is really, "I know something about everyone."
One has to wonder--was that scripted?

I wish I'd paid more attention to grammer in school. Need to go back and study those rules .... unless you'd consider giving us a daily lesson mixed discretely into your posts so we don't actually have to put forth the effort to continue our education!!

But, yah...I have no prob with grammar comments/ questions. Since this thread was about Sommer...
I have no problem throwing something soft at the television when Sommer speaks Sommer-speak.
