Tune in next week to find out! :P

I've never read the source material so I can only speculate. I suspect it's one of two things: some sort of Sawako cosplay gone wrong (unlikely since so far we've got cute and sexy stuff from her), or it's from some other club and it's a bit of misdirection from KyoAni. I could be totally wrong, though.

Guess we shall have to wait patiently to find out.

Well, she's the 'rich girl' archetype, they tend to be like that (Manabi Straight is a fine example...)

Didn't they completely ignore here most of the time?

Maybe I'm watching too many other shows where the rich girl is a snotty bitch ojou-sama type.

I don't know why but I'm drawing a bit of a parallel with Mugi and Tamaki from Ouran HSHC in that they want to experience 'commoner' things. That is, to do the things regular people do and possibly avoid having your social standing get in the way of having fun. For example, attending this school, doing the part time job to raise money for Yui's guitar, going to Yui's house for the study session, having the sleepover training camp with the club members, etc.

Of course, she doesn't seem unwilling to see girls bonding...

Haha, I was correct about the chicken cosplay. I think Sawako-sensei has gone off the deep end.

Episode 8 thoughts and summary:
Spoiler :
This episode is one of my favorites in the amount of character interaction. Plus, it's got a proper concert scene! God, I guess wishing for KyoAni to animate an entire concert is probably out of the question. It would be awesome though.

I liked the intro from Ui at the beginning. And the dynamic between the 2 sisters again.
Azusa appears! Manga readers can now rejoice.
Hehe, new class assignments. Now the group is like Lucky Star with the "tsundere" character in a separate class from the "genki girl", the "dojikko" and the "ojou".
I like the moment where Mio teases Ritsu about them being separated and then Ritsu teases back using Mugi.
Poor Mio. At least you now have Nodoka (who apparently got separated from traditional partner, Yui).
The animal cosplay. Sawako, what were you thinking? I'm sure some potential members were scared away.
Maid cosplay. Ritsu's maid cafe came to fruition. Oddly, the only person wearing the costume that fits the type is Mugi.
Mio = kawaii. Sawako = bordering on obsessed.
The Jazz club is seemingly the Light music club's rival.
Mio and her fluffy lyrics. :D
Covering for Yui - this is why Mio is cool.
Azusa barely moving and then you see her feet = awesome scene.

Next episode: Azusa is Sawako's new target!?
