I guess I have a higher tolerance for low quality uploads than most because when I saw that there was one for today's episode on YT I decided to waste no time and just watch that instead of wasting 4 to 5 hours waiting to see if there'd be a good quality upload (especially since the last two episodes really weren't worth the wait considering how poor they were).


 * Callback to Izzy's smokeball gag from Wawanawka Gone Wild.
 * The fact that one of the items Beth has lodged up her nose is a red crayon reminded me of The Simpsons episode HOMR.
 * Once again, Cody appears in a minor role that honestly could've been given to anyone else.
 * Courtney throws a temper tantrum that reminded me of her destroying the hotel room in Rock n' Rule.
 * I guess what was said in the synopsis for this episode was an earlier draft since Courtney's shows off the house she built only for show and tell and not for a contest.
 * A rare episode where Gwen actually behaves like herself with pretty much no pandering to the Goths fans.

It was OK, at the very least this one felt like it actually tried unlike the last two where the former stupidly decided to troll the viewers by rendering itself pointless like most of the show's worst non-elimination episodes and the latter for sacrificing everything for the sake of some pointless toilet/gross-out humor and a really bad ending.

Just like with A Ninjustice to Harold, Beth's not an interesting enough character to warrant an episode dedicated to her, with this episode being worse for her since it plays up her out of nowhere personality change of being the gross/disgusting one (which is even more pointless since last week's episode proved that they can still have Owen fitting that bill just like he did in the original series).

Izzy once again stole the show with the whole thing with her and the dead bird being more enjoyable than anything having to do with the main plot.

Hopefully next week's is better though I have my doubts since most of the episodes we've gotten this month are noticeably worse than what's come before, and the halfway point is pretty much when every season starting with TDWT started to go downhill in my opinion.
