1. "RE: First 3 episode titles"
OK, maybe I'm just getting old, but what the heck does "zooming" mean in this context?

I checked the slang websites, didn't come up with much:

http://www.geocities.com/informalenglish/Z.html

zoom(v) :1-to increase or go up suddenly and fast. _The taxes --- after the government got into a recession. 2-to move at a high speed and esp. noisily. _I hate zooming drivers.

And the Webster definition don't help me understand this either:

http://www.m-w.com/

Main Entry: 1zoom
Pronunciation: 'züm
Function: verb
Etymology: imitative
Date: 1886
intransitive senses
1 a : to move with a loud low hum or buzz b : to go speedily : ZIP
2 of an airplane : to climb for a short time at an angle greater than that which can be maintained in steady flight so that the machine is carried upward at the expense of stored kinetic energy
3 : to focus a camera or microscope on an object using a zoom lens so that the object's apparent distance from the observer changes -- often used with in or out
4 : to increase sharply <retail sales zoomed>
transitive senses : to cause to zoom

Maybe it's along these lines:

All I wanna do is zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom and a boom-boom
Just shake your rump

3. "Aretha Franklin"
Aretha Franklin had a hit in the mid 80's "Who's Zoomin' Who".

Lyrics below..

Who's Zoomin' Who
Aretha Franklin
Written by Narada Michael Walden, Preston Glass & Aretha Franklin

- (#7 1985)

You walked in on the sly
Scopin' for love
In the crowd, I caught your eye
You can't hide your stuff

You came to catch
You thought I'd be naive and tame
You met your match
I beat you at your own game

(chorus)
Who's zoomin' who, take another look, tell me baby
Who's zoomin who...oh
Who's zoomin' who, now the fish jumped off the hook
Didn't I baby...Who's zoomin' who (repeat)

Guess you believed the world
Played by your rules
Here stands an experienced girl
Nobody's fool...

Don't speculate
you thought you had me covered, but
I've got your bait
You're bound to be my lover...oh
(chorus)

You think you're smooth
That you can pickand choose
When the time is right...
But, just look behind, you'll be surprised to find
I'm gonna make you mine tonight...oh
(chorus)



“Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.” -Winston Churchill

4. "RE: Aretha Franklin"
The first thing I thought of was the Aretha Franklin song. I believe it means either to scam someone, decieve them, or "play" them. In it's more urbane definition, I believe it means who's f#cking who. So, it could be sexual, but more than likely, it is a reference to someone being played or scammed. That is unless "zoomin'" has taken on a new colloquial meaning since Aretha's song came out.

5. "RE: Aretha Franklin"
Thanks folks... mid 80's huh... I was there for that, not sure why I don't remember this song

Anyways, assuming it basically means "playing" -- ie. "Who's playing whom?" then is there anything we can take from this? It certainly looks like the mind games and strategy are going to START QUICKLY in S3. We should watch Episode #1 keeping this Episode #2 title in mind, perhaps we can get a feel from it or the Ep #2 previews to whom this title might be referring.

7. "RE: Aretha Franklin"
I get the impression that a contestant may have used the word "zoom" in Ep. 3, hence the episode title.
