The Office (U.S.): Nellie MUST go!

Nellie has to go! (Pardon me for being polite or I should say...)
Nellie MUST go!

She is not funny, no chemistry with any character; her over-all style is like from a different show. She might fit in as a mean politician in Park & Rec or anywhere not in The Office.Take Charles Minor as an example. This character is made to be hated; it's okay. But he does fit as a upper management, the office ladies like him (i.e., Kelly & Angela), a bond with Dwight, picking on Jim, a suck up to the CFO David. Nellie is way to flashy, way to crazy; she crashed the party. One of the reasons the audience could feel "The Office" is because of it reflects their boring office work sometime, but a pretzel lights up their day, an office prank cracks a few laugh, a supervisor or manager leads boring meeting, a drama fights for higher position (to be the head of PPC-Party Planning Committee, or who is No.2 in the office, etc.). But who could walk right in and control the CEO? Who can take the office and moved in as their wish? It became really surreal and more like a story-drama now, instead of a mockumentary. Don't forget that the CEO, Robert California, is also a new characters in season 8; a story line that just runs between two new characters, Robert and Nellie, shows no root or connection to the existing casts and stories.

Let's chant together: No more Nellie! No more Nellie!
(parody of Pam's "No more meeting! No more meeting!" while Michael was dating Pam's mom.)
(To give her and the writers some credits that Nellie is fine when she was in Tallahassee, but just doesn't work in Scranton.)
