It's a not nice way of saying that the worst rise to the top (the way shit... well floats).

What? That's sad I don't want something like this to be trending. I want something that cheer him up.
Oh Rachel, she doesn't change, everytime she believes thing are not working out as she expected, she goes back to her old plan.
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
Wow... could they make June even more disgusting? Bad enough that she's rejecting Kurt the way she is (and no loss there), but to tell him to break off his engagement? Lovely.

Look in your toilet next time you poop.
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
Why does Blaine sound like a serial killer every time he tells people he loves Kurt?
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
Well, now the Klainers hate June. So... achievement?
This show is such a fucking mess. Santana comes in off the street to fill in for Rachel, having not practiced or performed in months? Yeah... right.

Haha ok got it, thanks. Also thanks for your explanation Ranwing
What?! Santana is replacing Rachel?
P.S So typical, when they try to make you feel bad for Rachel, then she gets a new opportunity.
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
So on one minute Rachel is very justifiably called out on the carpet for her behavior with the show and the next a show developed around her. Of course.
So Blaine lied to Kurt about giving him a part in his showcase. Very thoughtful. This is going to bite him in the ass.
Whoever said that the best part of the episode would be the promo for next week was dead right! And we get to hear Kurt singing classic Madonna!

So, on a scale from "Godawful" to "Sucks major ass", how would you rate this episode, girls? Do I even bother to stream it tomorrow?

It was about as entertaining as watching Blaine's hair gel dry.
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
I'll go with "sucks major ass". It had it's moments but so much of this ether had me rolling my eyes, hitting the mute button or wanting to throw things at the TV.
Of course the show can never have Rachel actually suffer real consequences? One minute she's being very rightly called out on the carpet for being such an unprofessional nit, and the next she gets a tv development deal. I give up...
Blaine's storyline has train wreak written all over it. I don't have an issue with this socialite not liking Kurt and only wanting to work with Blaine (because everyone is entitled to their incorrect opinions), but I am sick to death of having Kurt slammed down all the time in order to raise Blaine up. And June Halloway is a complete bitch. Rejecting Kurt the way she did was harsh enough, but telling Blaine to break off his engagement? Lovely... they can get rid of this idiot fast enough. I didn't find anything about her presence funny or charming.
Santana could come in off the street after not having rehearsed in months and just fill in? That Rachel wouldn't be shitcanned immediately? That they would waste a chance to do The Rose on a throwaway solo with no linkage to the larger story? Meh...

Worst episode ever. Every time Blaine or Rachel was on screen I wanted to just punch them. Don't get me started on June. I hate Klaine and even I think it was wrong of her to tell him to brake the engagement.
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
No intention of watching another bus run over Kurt. Next week looks fun. Then adios Glee - for real. It was fun on the twitter feed slamming this train wreck of a show. #BleeAlong indeed.

You know that things are bad when we're in solidarity with the Klainers!

I fully support June's suggestion of breaking off the engagement. I don't care if she's wrong in her thoughts. If that's what it takes to breakup Klaine, I'll take it

Thanks for joining in on the #BleeAlong. It was kind of fun seeing additional people pick up on the hashtag and use it
Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
I'm really going to go out on a limb here, but Blaine wasn't... completely awful. Let me qualify that. Darren still sucks ass as an actor and Blaine is an awful excuse for a character. But he wasn't being malicious here. He kept trying to get June interested in working with Kurt as well and his lie to Kurt wasn't a mean one. He seems to sincerely want Kurt to benefit from this as well.
- Spoiler:
- I can see what's going to happen at the showcase. Blaine will end up singing to Kurt (defying June's edict that he should dump his fiancé) and then the two of them break out into an OTT hammy performance and the showcase goes completely off the rails. I can actually get behind that.

Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
No, Blaine wasn't completely awful, but he should have been honest with Kurt about what June is really like, especially considering how excited Kurt was about it.
ETA: Just rewatched the last Klaine scene. Blaine did completely lie to Kurt about being in the showcase.

Re: 5x18 "Back-Up Plan" Watch & Discussion thread
I understand that for once Blaine was trying to be a good fiance to Kurt, but I also feel that this lie is going to hurt Kurt more than just being honest with him.

I think that Blaine is recognizing very quickly that working with June is a devil's bargain. Sure, she might give Blaine everything he wants professionally, but she'll destroy everything else that's important to him. I think that when she very harshly rejected working with Kurt to Blaine (saying that the world didn't need to see him), Blaine was genuinely offended and upset. Yes, he still wants the kind of help that she can offer, but he's seeing very clearly what that's going to cost him.
Kurt really is way too good for Blaine, Rachel and the rest of this show. He was justifiably hurt about being rejected, but he wasn't holding it against Blaine. And if they really are committed to one another's success the way they're talking about, Blaine can help Kurt even without June's help. Bringing up Kurt to the right people that Blaine meets can open other doors for him.
I can't believe that I'm saying anything supportive about Blaine.

I don't think any of us thought we'd be supporting Blaine or the Klainers.

Oh, I agree that it was nice to see Blaine recognizing the problem with June's offer, but at the same time, he should have either really walked or way, or been honest with Kurt about what was going on. And in canon, Blaine would love that he is getting this opportunity because it puts him back on top and Kurt as the weaker one the way he likes it.
They are really trying to redeem Blaine right now, but really, him trying to get Kurt an opportunity after Kurt got him the opportunity that lead to this isn't the right way of going about it.
