Successor, Usurper, Replacement

Some laugh-out-loud parts I really liked. But I'm clearly not the target audience - too old and I can't really relate to/understand the wish to be famous at all (always seemed like my worst nightmare), and some things seemed to make no sense at all. In addition, the ending was disconnected from the previous story: we only learn afterwards that apparently, all of them - and one in particular - really wanted to be famous, but this is never shown at all in the story itself. Quite the opposite: the strongest wish/desire expressed was the lonely wish for constant company in the beginning, but that just goes nowhere. But the author has a knack for dead-pan humor, I can definitely see the potential there.
