JustMe2000

This season marked the beginning of the latest Degrassi series. We met a fresh batch of characters dealing with unique to the time concerns such as internet safety, while also navigating their way through issues of divorce, academic confidence, sexuality, sibling dynamics, body acceptance and drugs. In other words, similar stuff that anyone who's made it through adolescence has had to tackle at some point. The kids, the issues, the consequences, the heart- all that made this such a compelling show was there, and it ultimately drew us to this fantastic message board. Please consider the 2 part episodes as a whole and vote on it as one as opposed to preferring part 1 over 2. Also take in consideration the b and c plots. For your convenience we’ve listed a brief summary of the episode.


Rules: The first round will last 2 days with the cut off time ending at 12 AM EST on 9/19. From that point on the rounds will last roughly 24 hours. You have only one vote to cast, with the exception of a tie breaker round. Vote for your least favorite episode and the one with the highest tally is out of survivor. The last remaining episode wins!
