I just love how the people who write the episode summary can't tell Harry from Mike

The whole bringing Sam back was so bizarre...I mean I'm happy he's back, but that was stupid.

And goodbye to Shelby and Beth! I will not miss them.

Sigh. Where has my precious show gone? I saw shades of it in the last five minutes. But just, sigh.

Sam coming back to sing Red Solo Cup, which was so wtf I don't know whether to laugh at the absurdity of it being a full length song, or shake my head in sadness at how bad things have gotten. Why did he come back again? He didn't really take any leads on the songs, he swayed in the background for the most part as an extra body. Not the most believable way to bring him back into the fold. Up and leaving his parents to go back to Ohio. Ok, sure.

And the idea that ND could win sectionals without Rachel, Santana, Mercedes and Brittany is just laughable. Just because they had a longer set, does not mean they're better. Man in the Mirror was the only good part of it, and I LOVE that they let Jenna sing, but it just was a mess. And I DO prefer the TT's, but it was obvious that they set them up to lose with the awful choreography. So I knew it going in, but it was still ridiculous writing to have the desired outcome.

Quinn. Oh Quinn. Dianna is legit playing her like she's a psycho. It's amusing, but frankly, pretty creepy. I do find it hard to believe that a few choice words from Shelby made her have a complete change of heart. It was a little jarring. But I am VERY glad that she's the one that convinced the TTs to rejoin ND. It was a great Unholy Trinity moment that also called back to the Mercedes/Quinn friendship from season 1. If they had to reincorporate them, I'm so thankful that it wasn't because Finn was blowing smoke up their butts or Will in his usual doucheness made them feel like crap coming back.

Speaking of Finn. He apologizes to Blaine for being a little catty with him. Ok. But he can't apologize to Santana for OUTING her? So much freaking hate. I know, I know, that's over and done with. But ugh, I literally almost got my eyes stuck rolling them at the obvious double standard. In fact, I was pretty much choking on all the testosterone this episode.

You know it's pretty bad when a Brittana fan is saying their favorite male character right now, is Artie. Just saying.

Overall it wasn't an episode that I actively hated. It was just forgettable. Which sucks, because the competition episodes are usually some of the really good ones. I guess that's what happens when RIB let it up to the newbies for once. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm literally begging for a RIB written episode at this point. I feel as though the new writers just don't have any grasp on these characters.

This. I feel like it's all over the place.
The absurdity of Finn and Rachel traveling four hours to Kentucky in hopes that they can convince Sam to drop his life and sing with them made me lol.

I had high expectations since it was a competition episode, but it fell short for me. Too many storylines packed into one episode.
