Who is excited to see half naked Blaine and Sam and Brody?

Not me. I am DVRing the episode and only watch scenes Kurt is in later.

[Ranwing]

Yeah, they completely glossed over the fact that ND was disqualified. But... whatever...

Not watching, but not surprise.

[Ranwing]

So the movie is a senior's thesis project and it sounds horrible and pretentious. Rachel is to star in it but it requires the topless scene. So now Old Rachel is berating New Rachel about her bad hair, porn star clothes and and...

Just hit the mute button so I don't have to listen to Torn again. It was bland enough the first time.

[Jellyrolls]

I agree with Andrea. The Warblers doping scandal isn't news. Who cares? At least they didn't start off the episode with a Blaine solo straight out.

I can't even begin to talk about how ridiculous the choir room scene is. Finn suggesting a bake sale? Joe selling his hair? And then the calendar? So not a good idea. Seriously, they are still saying they are underdogs, and they think people will buy the calendar? Stupid.

Fondue for two? Boring.

I already talked about the Figgy/Bram scene on the spoiler thread. I am not going to talk about it again. It is horribly inappropriate for Figgy, and I hate that they are doing this to Sam.

Hmm. I didn't expect the filmmaker for Rachel's topless scene to be a woman.

New Rachel vs. Old Rachel. I like it. I like her being conflicted about this.

Wow. 4 of the first six scenes were released early! Just the newscast and fondue for two were new. Crazy.

[Ranwing]

I keep hitting the mute button. And I feel my brain cells dying each time Sam is on the screen.

Why did they have to butcher his character so badly? You know this never would have happened if they'd just kept to the original plan, made him bi and had him be Kurt's boyfriend.

When I watch I only will watch the Kurt scenes,and maybe the Rachel scenes.

[Ranwing]

Even the Kurt scene was hard to sit through. We got the slutty Barbie line, but I can't quite blame Kurt for being cheesed off. Brody was sitting naked on one of his vintage chairs. And Rachel is being very smug about being oh so grown up.

Why am I watching this when I could be watching something less enfuriating... like Man vs Food?

[Jellyrolls]

Tina asking Blaine to go to the Mall and Blaine agreeing? Seriously, Blaine. You know she's crushing on you. Seriously, Tina, you know he is gay (or at least he thinks his gay--his actions beg to differ).

Tina's description of Blaine. Ugh. I wish Tina was still silent right now.

Locker room was boring.

It's Getting Hot In Here/Centerfold was just about the most unsexy sexy number ever.

Damn. The idiot Klainers have I Miss Klaine trending. If you are reading this please tweet about Kadam

Finn and Sue seem so forced.

Kurt doesn't look happy. I think he misses Adam.

Brody is inappropriate being naked in the apartment.

The scene was exactly as that audio clip was.

1000 years. boring. There's not passion in their performance. They sound OK vocally, but there is no chemistry, and no passion there.

[ChrisColferFan1]

From what I am reading here,this episode saounds bad. Am I right?

[Ranwing]

From what I am reading here,this episode saounds bad. Am I right?

Yeah... it's bad. I suppose I should be grateful that Kurt's participation in this trainwreak is being kept to a minimum.

[Jellyrolls]

Is it just me, or has Cory lost some weight? His face seems thinner. Actually, his entire body seems thinner.

I liked the Artie/Finn scene. I like that Artie spoke up, and I like that Finn was supportive in the end.

A Jake O Lantern over his naughty bits? The calendar concept is really uncomfortable when you think of these being high school aged boys.

Jake solo is extremely boring, and I don't even like the way he sounds on the song. Worst solo of the season, I think. Worse than Brittany songs.

And there are Quinn and Santana.

Okay, thank you. It looks like it will be an even faster watch episode than last weeks.

Give yourself three minutes. That will be plenty of time.

3 minuites is the total time Chris/ Kurt appers on screen?

[Jellyrolls]

I like the approach that Santana and Quinn are taking to talk to Rachel about the sex tape. I like that they are asking her what she will think of the topless scene in the future, and that Rachel is giving answers showing she is thinking about it.

Tina needs to get laid.

Mr. I Can't Live Without Hair Gel and I Can't Go A Month without my Boyfriend is giving Sam self help advice?

Finn isn't smart enough to blackmail Sue the way she did.

Blaine sure likes to meddle in other people's lives.

[Jellyrolls]

Ryan's tweets are officially more interesting then the show. I'm going to stop posting about the show so I can read.

[Ranwing]

As expected, Rachel talked a big game but punked out. Great for her self-image and showing a shred of maturity, but it sucks for the student who's film she just trashed by cutting out in the middle of production.

Cannot believe I saw though this. Cannot wait to delete from my DVR.

As for the complete lack of Kurt... in my headcannon, he's spending a lot of time over at Adam's place to escape being around Rachel and Brody so much.

[Jellyrolls]

Ryan is directly responding to Klainers, and they are deleting their tweets after he responds.

Not surprise at all. I think most if not all of them are Blaine stans.

i made a mistake of watching this show live today and what a iffy huge waste of time! and that damn oil slicker contaminated my screen for about half an hour and I only saw kurt for like 1 minute! never ever watch live again!!!

hate this show! don't forget this episode is written by ryan murphy and you totally see he is drooling over who and what. what a shallow, horrible, sleep and anger inducing episode! (yes that's kind of strange to be both boring and maddening).

that's all i can say. I hate this show. will never watch live again.
