    liked an older boy and wasn't allowed to see him?
    liked a boy and thought, o dear god. do you like my mom more than me?

    having a friends mom with a body to die for when growing up i can say i have been there through her. i used to like this well fit older guy but was banned from seeing him.

    so this episode hit home. we have all had this situation or knew it. bridget liked the older guy. kerry thought it was odd that her ex could see her mom as pretty.

    personaly its a teenage thing. we like older guys/girls and we don't dig the omg i think your mom is hot thing. perfectly sums up the whole series.

    what planet are parents from? what planets are ex's from? and seriously why do dads talk, ever??moreless

    Pretty darn good episode! I wasn't crazy about the second part of this one though, but thats for a different review.

    PROS:
    1) It was a funny episode, again. Bridget had a lot of blond moments in this episode, and I found it funny how she thought that she and Ben were 'meant to be.'
    2) The plot was pretty good. Bridget falls in love with her drum teacher, and even though she's not allowed to date him, she still tries to sneak off with him.
    3) I love the whole thing with the 'yearbooks.' How Cate always insisted that her yearbooks were burned in a fire, and how in the end, Rory told Paul that Cate still had yearbooks.
    4) The thing where Kerry is mad at Jason because he said things like her mother was pretty, or had a nice laugh, and Kerry was upset that he never said that to her when they were dating.

    CONS:
    1) I just wish that they had got another actor to play Ben!

    Pretty good episode overall.moreless

    • In this episode it is mentioned that Kate was popular in high school but in the episode "Cheerleader" she was on the drill team which is lame according to everyone in the house.

    • When Bridget storms out of the kitchen after Paul tells her that she can't go to the concert with Ben, she slams the door but it doesn't shut. In the next scene, the door is closed.

    • In the end of the episode, Bridget looks up and says "This is for you Ben." then plays really good on the drums. If someone only saw that part of the episode, they might think that Ben is dead because she looked up, like she was looking at heaven.

    • Cate: So I guess on-again-off-again is on again. Sounds like fate. Kerry: Sounds like his name follows mine alphabetically.

    • Bridget: (singing) Look at me in my all-girl band. Check me out I look so hot. You wish you were me but you'll never be 'cause you're not in an all girl band. Ha! (plays drums correctly,looks amazed) Kerry: You're an idiot.

    • Kerry: (to Bridget) The One? You never had a one, I mean last summer you were down to three.

She went out with Ben. I'm her decoy. (Paul leaves then comes back) Paul: I knew you had yearbooks. Cate: You can stop building that monkey bed right now. Rory: Aww man!
