You all know what to do.

[Ranwing]

Hope that I'm not alone watching this dreck. I'm just here to enjoy some pretty Chris.

[Jellyrolls]

Oh, I am just bursting with joy over the thought of tonight's episode of Glee starting in two minutes. Yay.

I'm about to experience another hour of my life I'll never get back.

[Ranwing]

Thank you for the reminder that Rachel is getting both NYADA and Broadway entirely unearned.

Knew that Schu would take over once he arrived at McKinely.

[Ranwing]

Again we're back to Rachel's future success being the center of everyone's concern. If she had lifted a single finger to make either of these two options happen, I might find it in my heart to care. And I can't deal with Sam being the voice of reason here. He's totally right here... now we'll just see if Rachel can get her head out of ass enough to actually listen.

Nice to see Jesse but I'm so checked out on Rachel's storyline that I just can't care. And what a surprise... Jesse pulled strings to get Rachel the part.

Would rather watch Spencer and Alister make out too.

[dimpledchris]

Oh my god Sam is making sense, I cannot believe this.

[Jellyrolls]

So Will teaches them dancing while the others watch.

The warblers are annoying.

Why does Sam care so much about Rachel going to college? really? Of all the people in the cast? Did Rachel just friend zone Sam?

Oh, Brad. How nice of him to be there.

So Jesse just pops up in the school? You know, you'd think a school that had a school shooting would have more security.

Listen to your heart, but actually, I don't think Lea and Jon's voice meshed well on this. His voice is too rough.

Ah, so that's why Jesse is there. He's her future co-star.

[Ranwing]

So Rachel gets the audition because Mercedes pulled strings for her. She gets the part because Jesse pulls strings for her.

Why the hell am I being asked to root for her?

[Jellyrolls]

Yes, Jesse can't get into NYADA, but they take a mediocre talent like Blaine no problem.

Dance camp. Yay. Something Glee has never done before. Oh wait....they have.

[Jellyrolls]

So Rachel gets the audition because Mercedes pulled strings for her. She gets the part because Jesse pulls strings for her.

Why the hell am I being asked to root for her?

Clearly you should be rooting for her because she is the most special snowflake in the universe and everyone wants to see her succeed!

[ColferInspired]

I am up, it's afternoon here .

Just reading the comments and knowing I will just download and not watch it yet like I have done with last weeks episode.

[Jellyrolls]

So now Kurt has to prop Rachel. Yay Rachel! You can do whatever you want!

So, Blaine gets into NYU. How nice for him. Because it makes total sense that a top school will take a student who flunked out of another top school when he has done nothing to prove his worth.

Ugh. Sam throwing up. OK, is there a point to this? OK, now everyone is puking. Great. OH, it's Sue.

Sue sure spends a lot of time at McKinley for someone who has been fired and told not to be around kids again.

[Ranwing]

I really liked what Kurt was telling Rachel. He gave his opinion and was leaving the decision completely up to her. But he was right about one very important thing. That Rachel was in such a total rush from success to success that she never gave herself a chance to actually enjoy her successes (whether it was NYADA or Funny Girl) before she was worried about what came next. That she is being given (totally undeservedly) a second chance to redo the things that she screwed up on. And that she should learn to enjoy the process of learning.

Sick of Sue and Schue. And cheers for Sheldon standing up for himself.

[Ranwing]

I'm so tired of competition episodes... it's the same old, same old. Artificially escalated stakes, ND woefully unprepared... but they win anyway. *yawn*

Blaine going to NY is... who cares? It's an excuse to get him to NY since Kurt is not giving up on his career path (thankfully). Rachel being praised again? Of course..

What the fuck do they have Kurt wearing?

[Jellyrolls]

We built this city was boring. Even the dancing was boring.

Oh Mickey is better, but Sue track suits. Ugh. Sue got her human canon balls, though.

I really hate Myron.

OMG, we're all here because of Rachel. Ugh. They combined NB/Warblers have been together for two seconds. Of course, Blaine gets to start the circle, but Kurt gets silenced.

[Jellyrolls]

What the fuck do they have Kurt wearing?

That black afghan thing? That is wicked ugly. I bet Blaine knitted it while he was sitting on the toilet trying to poop.

[Jellyrolls]

Damn, we still have 30 minutes of this crap to sit through.

[Ranwing]

I just want to hear Take Me To Church. Everything else is totally forgettable.

[Ranwing]

Well... that resolves what they were going to do with the annoying 13 year old.

For once, ND may actually earn their win.

[Jellyrolls]

Take Me To Church was fine vocally, but are we supposed to believe that the ND deserve to win with that performance.

Chandelier was fine too, but really, you had to have Myron in the leotard and wig. Ugh. I really hate Myron.

Come Sail Away was fine vocally, but the choreography didn't fit. The Warblers were just too frantic.

[fantastica]

i have been watching Hannible so I forgot about this entirely.

[Jellyrolls]

Cranky judge is back. Oh fun.

Rod is so creepy.

OK, this voting scene is going on way too long.

So, Kurt has been coaching the ND from the beginning with Rachel. He's been there every time, and he stands behind the other coaches? I wonder if that was deliberate placement of Kurt because he is so unimportant compared to Rachel and Bland.

[Ranwing]

So... has Schu acknowledged Kurt as co-director for any kind of recognition or praise for his work? Of course not... it was all about Rachel. With the way he and Rachel were hanging all over one another, I'd be worried if I was Emma.

[M&M]

Take Me To Church was fine vocally, but are we supposed to believe that the ND deserve to win with that performance.  

Chandelier was fine too, but really, you had to have Myron in the leotard and wig.  Ugh.  I really hate Myron.

Come Sail Away was fine vocally, but the choreography didn't fit.  The Warblers were just too frantic.

Myron is Oliver from the Brady Bunch. Completely unnecessary and terribly annoying, a last ditch effort to stay a little more relevant and gain a little more press. It didn't work for the Brady Bunch and it certainly hasn't worked for the already dying Glee.

[ChrisColferFan1]

Not watching  but did DVR it in the tiny bitty chance it may be a good episode. Reading the comments I can say pretty sure it is a bad episode.
