Glee - Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving time in New York! Kurt and Rachel were about to have the most depressing Thanksgiving but Brody and SJP came to their rescue. Rachel quickly got over Brody having sex with Cassandra and let him come over and cook for her and they're back to being all flirty again. SJP was about to spend Thanksgiving alone but Kurt invited her over and then she invited a whole bunch of randoms of as well and they had a "kiki." That song (Let's Have a Kiki) was so strange, but then I looked up the lyrics and I realized that that song was made for me. And it has my nickname in it (Kiki) so it was perfect. Kurt finally called Blaine and they agreed that they would see each other for Christmas. Thank goodness because this not talking to each other was childish and getting old and at least they can be friends now. 
Meanwhile at McKinley, all the other graduates came back and helped out with sectionals. Each newbie got paired up with a graduate so they could mentor them for sectionals. They pairs were pretty obvious; Jake and Puck, Kitty and Quinn, Ryder and Mike, Wade/Unique and Mercedes, and Marley and Santana. 
Now Kitty has a bit of an obsession with Quinn and it's a bit scary. And, I guess, Jake and Ryder are friends now and Ryder gave up on Marley and just let Jake have her. 
Now let's talk about sectionals because this is when the crazy stuff happened. First off, the Warblers sang Whistle which is the worst song I've ever heard and Live While We're Young by the one and only 1D (One Direction). Major dislike from me here!! Just when you thought it couldn't get anymore ridiculous this Amish/House on a Prairie looking group came out. Wow. Then it was finally time for the New Directions and Will came back just in time to see them. Sue was also there, with her baby (random). So, the New Directions performed Gangmun Style and all was looking good. Before hand Marley was a complete mess because she wasn't eating and felt pressure from the competition and just when you thought she was going to get through it without screwing up, she passes out. And that was the end. Yes, it just ended with her passed out on the ground and everyone freaking out. 
Overall, I liked the episode. It was nice to see what was going on in New York. I loved it when Brittany, Santana and Quinn sang Come See About Me, loved the prayer before they went on, and each week I'm falling more in love with the writers. Especially when they come up with stuff like "hump her and dump her." This season is getting better with each episode and I really can't wait until next week. It looks like some stuff's about to go down. 

Oh and sorry about last week. It was Thanksgiving and I took a break.

Glee aka Glease

Grease is finally here and it's Glee style so it's Glease!! It's almost show time and of course they face problem after problem after problem. First off, Sue has returned to be the "menace to Ohio" that she used to be and is trying to sabotage everything Finn does because he called her baby retarded. So, she gets Wade pulled out of the musical. Also, Kitty is trying to ruin Marley's life first by making her costume smaller so she can't fit into it, then she calls her fat, and then she tells her she should purge to get the weight off. Now, this girl is so jealous and so mean that's it's ridiculous. I think it's because she has no friends but she's just so mean why would anyone want to be her friend. Something is definitely wrong with her. 
There is also some jealousy filled sabotage going on in New York. It looks like Rachel and Brody are getting closer and Cassandra July is not having it. I just don't know why she's so jealous. So, she overhears Rachel and Kurt talking about maybe going back to Ohio to see the play and offers to help them get there. So they go, knowing that they are going to face their ex-boyfriends, and how awkward that was. I'm pretty sure it was the epitome of awkward. 
So, it's finally show time and you think nothing can go wrong but, somehow, Marley's costume gets smaller and Kitty leads her to the bathroom to purge, but luckily Ryder comes to the rescue and saves her from the unthinkable. And I'm pretty sure he admits that he wants to be Marley's boyfriend. Oh, and he kissed so, yeah, I think he likes her. I think the craziest thing to happen was when they were singing "You're The One That I Want" and Rachel imagined her singing it to Finn and it seemed like everyone that broke up with someone was imagining singing it to that person. It was a little freaky and there was a flashback. It was a lot to wrap your head around.
And while all this Grease stuff is going on Cassandra is with a shirtless Brody doing God knows what. Rachel ends up calling him and Cassandra answers and basically tells her that she and Brody hooked up. Not really sure if that's true and not sure if we'll ever find out the truth but that what she said. And then Rachel and Finn and Kurt and Blaine have more awkward moments but they don't end well. Rachel and Finn basically decide to never speak to each other again (crazy), and Kurt realizes that he can't trust Blaine anymore and neither of them shouldn't of come there because it's not 'home.' Will there ever come back is the thing I want to know. 
Oh and Will tells everyone that he's leaving and Finn is taking over and they all freak out because they have no faith in him. And I guess because Grease went so well they changed their minds. 
I think the words I'll use to describe this episode are sabotage, craziness and jealousy. It was a great episode and it made me like Grease which is a big deal because I did not like it before now. I can't wait to see all the drama that happens next week but I'm kind of upset because Thanksgiving is next week and I will not be home to watch. But that God for DVR and don't forget to set yours too.

Glee - The Role You Were Born To Play

Glee is finally back and they are doing the musical Grease. The musical is covered in 2 episodes and this is part one; the auditions. 
The episode starts out with Artie basically begging Finn to co-direct the show with him. He second guesses himself, but the arrival of Mercedes and Mike make him stick to him decision. Blaine is the first to audition but it's only because everyone wants him to. He's still really depressed about his break up with Finn and he doesn't feel like he should be in a musical about love when he has a broken heart. But he's the only one that can play that part so he's in. I can see why Blaine is so upset but the break up was, kind of, his fault. I think he needs to just move on and singing sad songs while looking a book full of pictures of Kurt is not going to help. Another problem they had was that Tina wasn't auditioning. She couldn't stand to be around Mike, but I guess they talked about it because she ended up getting a part. 
Next we see Marley and Wade/Unique talking (in the bathroom) about what parts they want to play. Of course Marley wants to be the lead, Sandy, but when Wade says who he wants to be it's a bit of a shock. He wants to play Rizzo, a girl. This makes sense, I mean he is Unique (a girl) also, but the problem is that he feels that people don't take him seriously and that they would never let that happen in that school. And Coach Sue, who randomly comes out of the stall, reinforces that opinion. But, Marley and Wade both audition and he says he wants to play Rizzo. Sue then goes to the principal, who didn't even know Wade was a guy, to complain. But, Finn is in charge so the decision is his and he wants Wade to be Rizzo so Wade is Rizzo. 
Now, all the main roles are filled except for the male lead role of Danny Zuko. No one can seem to think of anyone that would be right for this role, so Finn goes on the hunt. He finds himself at football practice where he spots Ryder, an okay football player with very nice end zone dance moves. Finn tries to persuade him to  audition but he won't sing. So Finn helps him out by singing with him and it looks like he's in as Danny Zuko but Jake's jealousy gets in the way. You see, Ryder and Marley started forming a friendship and Jake wasn't too happy about that. So he and Kitty, of all people, audition for Sandy and Danny. They end up having to do call backs and this is the outcome: Marley and Ryder are Sandy and Danny, Jake and Kitty have smaller parts. I can't wait to see what happens with Marley and Jake. They aren't together but I can't help but think that there's going to be a love triangle. 
While all this is going on, Will and Emma seem to be going through it because Will wants her to come to Washington with him but she doesn't want to go. At first she says she'll go, but thankfully Coach Beiste knocks some sense into her. Emma tells will she's not going to go and he seems fine with it. Let's just hope that this is one of those 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' moments. Will also tells Finn that he's leaving for a few months and the episode ends with Will asking Finn to take over the New Directions. I saw coming from a mile away. I hope he takes the job. Then maybe Mike and Mercedes will stay and help him out. 
Overall, I like this episode. We didn't see any of New York, but I'm fine with that. All that back and forth doesn't have to be in every episode. We just need to see them every once in a while but not every week; it's just too much. Well, I can't wait to see what happens next week when they actually put on the musical.
