Dynamic Duets


I'm not going to lie the episode Dynamic Duets was a bit cheesy but I definitely enjoyed it. The costumes were interesting and of course there were some unlikely partnerships.

Old and New Villains: Well Sebastian is back but I guess he's actually running with his nice streak. However that doesn't keep him from helping lure Blaine over to the dark side. In this case the Warbler side, and the new villain, I mean leader is Hunter Clarington.

Partnerships: Finn's assignment was to get Ryder and Jake, and Kitty and Marley to get along. Now Marley and Kitty didn't had much of a problem mainly because they had their eating disorder in common, but Kitty pushes that more by telling Marley that she's definitely lost weight. I hope Marley gets back on track and stops throwing up, and as for Kitty well I figure you can't change her personality.

Jake and Ryder of course don't get along because they both have a crush on Marley. However in the end they both end up helping each other out. Ryder sticks up for Jake when some of the football team starts picking on him and Jake tells Finn about Ryder and how he's having trouble with reading and everything. It turns out he's dyslexic, and he wouldn't have known if it wasn't for his help.

Finn: Finn is wearing an interesting sweater vest a lot like Mr. Schue, I'm pretty sure he's trying to channel him however some of his ideas don't turn sound very good. In fact, Finn loses it when he can't find markers. But by the end of the episode he's got it all together.

Puck: We see Puck for the second time this season and it looks like he's doing alright in California, even if he is working as a superhero.

Blaine: Blaine is confused and actually decides that he wants to go back to the Warblers. However, Sam finds a way to talk him out of it, and they end up stealing their nationals’ trophy back.

So it looks like the New Directions will be staying together and they'll hopefully be ready for Sectionals. But in the meantime checkout some of the Casts superhero alter egos below.

Glease


The episode Glease was pretty amazing. It not only dealt with the musical Grease, but it also included some of Kitty's hilarious lines, Santana comes back to replace Wade, Marley's insecurities about her body and her dealing with an eating disorder, the Marley-Jake-Ryder love triangle, Kate Hudson being a total witch (replace that W with a B), the awkwardest scene in TV history (at least in my opinion), and people continuing to make Rachel cry. So I'll just break it down for you:

Glease: Although it's not my favorite musical, I still very much enjoy the musical. I think they did wonderful and my favorite scene was when Blaine sang "Beauty School Drop Out", it was so angelic and I love Blaine's hair.

Kitty: She says some pretty awful things however some of them are pretty hilarious, and of course Glee imitated the slumber party scene from the actual musical scene Grease. Well before Kitty and the others girls went into the "Sandy D" song to make fun of Marley. Kitty says something to Marley about her horse. I'll leave it at that because you NEED to go watch it.

Santana: Well Sue got her way and called Wade's parents letting them know that he was going to play a girl in the school musical. His parents weren't too happy about it so they took him out of it; Finn and Wade were both very upset. This left the role to Tina, however Finn decided to call in Santana and so she played the role of Rizzo. The song Santana covered was very interesting considering she, Wade, and Kate Hudson's character sang it together. To add to Tina not getting another role, she and Mike Change got back together.

Marley and her eating disorder: Kitty like always is up to no good so she keeps cutting out some of Marley's costume to make her feel like she's getting fat. And not only that she teaches her how her 2 fingers are her best friends, basically Kitty shows Marley the ways of an eating disorder. However, Ryder finds out and goes and talks to her about how doing that is an awful idea. But will that stop her?

Love Triangle: Well Ryder takes a big step and kisses Marley offstage; however it wasn't just between them because Jake saw it. How do you think he'll take it? Are Marley and Ryder an item now?

Kate Hudson: Her character is pretty horrible, and this episode is no exception. Rachel starts telling Brody about an off Broadway play she'll be trying out for but Hudson's character tells her not to try out for it because the director is extreme and can make you do some uncomfortable things. Rachel suggests Hudson (Cassie July) try out for a part. Hudson takes that as an insult so she hatches a plan to make Brody her new TA and then suggests Rachel and Kurt go home to watch the musical.

The rest you'll read under Rachel crying.

Awkwardest TV Scene EVER!: I'm not even lying I felt awkward sitting there and watching it, but it was basically Finn and Blaine running into Rachel and Kurt backstage. To get the full effect you should also WATCH it!

Making Rachel Cry: Watching the scene where the Glee club performs "You're The One That I Want" brings back memories of Finn, so Rachel can't take it anymore and runs off to the bathroom to call Brody. However, it turns out Cassie and Brody ended up doing a lot more than some steamy dancing. Cassie picks up Brody's phone and starts releasing her witchy side. This makes Rachel even more upset and it doesn't help that Finn decides to be a jerk about things, and tells her that maybe all communication should be caught off between the two. Blaine tries to talk to Kurt but it just upsets Kurt, so maybe Rachel was right at the beginning of the episode, going home was a bad idea.

Go watch this week's episode and check in next week and watch "Dynamic Duets".

The Role You Were Born To Play

Glee is back! and I was so ready for it.  This week's episode had to do with auditions for McKinley's school musical "Grease", Will and Emma's relationship, Wade "Unique" and Sue clashing, and of course Finn and what he's going to be doing now.  Of course I couldn't leave out the fact that after Artie basically coerced Finn into helping him direct the musical (Artie said that if Finn didn't help direct the musical, he wouldn't direct it either), Mike and Mercedes showed up and agreed to help both Finn and Artie.  Directing the musical wasn't the only problem Finn ran into while getting auditions ready, he and Wade butted heads with Sue Sylvester.  All of this because Wade (who plays a transgendered teen on the show named "Unique" and who is transgender in real life), wanted to try out for the role of Rizzo, a female character in Grease.  Sue would not hear of it, however Finn said he would help Unique get the role and he ended up saying something very offensive to Sue. Wade did end up getting the role of Rizzo, however we did not get to see what Sue thought about it when she found out.  I don't know about the cast but I'm pretty scared about what she might do. 

Now that we're talking about the auditions, things got pretty heated between Marley, Jake, Kitty, and the Glee Project season 2 winner, Ryder Lynne.  Finn talked Ryder into trying out for the role of Danny for the musical, after watching him dance at football practice.  After believing that the role was secured Ryder decided to introduce himself to Marley, who was a shoe in for Sandy.  However, two people weren't too excited about it, Jake and Kitty.  Kitty's reason is mainly because she's a horrible person and Jake didn't like the fact that Ryder and Marley would be spending a lot of time together.  So in the end Kitty and Jake sang Neon Tree's "Everybody Talks", to try out for the roles of Danny and Sandy.  The characters were then asked to battle for the roles by having a sing and dance off with Mercedes and Mike  helping out in the number.  In the end Ryder was cast as Danny and Marley as Sandy, making Kitty throw a fit and of course lash out at Marley.  Jake didn't seem too happy about it either but he will still be playing a role in the musical, so he might be able to keep an eye on Ryder and make sure he doesn't try to get too close to his crush. 

However some of the biggest news came after Will and Emma discussed their relationship.  Will or Mr. Schue will be leaving to Washington D.C., he will be a part of a committee that helps get more funding for art programs in schools. He thought Emma, his fiance, would be joining however after talking to Coach Beiste about not wanting to leave her job behind it was decided that she would stay and they would visit each other on the weekends.  When they will get married?, Well that's yet to be announced so stay tuned and maybe they'll have a spring wedding.  I know a lot of you are thinking, but with Mr. Schue gone who will coach the Glee club.  Have no fear Gleeks, coaching the Glee Club does not require you to have a teaching degree, so the new coach for New Directions (for at least 3 months) will be.....*drum roll please*...FINN HUDSON! It looks like Finn won't be moping around his step dad's, Burt Hummel, tire shop after all. How do you think Finn will do as the new coach for the Glee club?  Let me know what you think and check out the promo for the "Glease" episode. Don't forget to watch Glee every Thursday at 9/8 c on FOX.
