I honestly like the descriptions for this episode. but the only thing i hate is that they are making the episode look like their is a "killer" in the woods. which totally ass the "cheese factor" to it. this episode could be decent with the whole after-school special, campy murder to it.i have a feeling that it will be a prank, they will get scared and it will turn out to be one of the parents or something retarded like that. but i guess we will see. Im sooo over clare (she's crashing the party)..OMG, CLARE GO AWAY! NOBODY LIKES YOU...i honestly dont know how clare hasn't managed to get beat-up yet. this girl wouldnt have survived my H.S.

I think the episode should be pretty good as well. All signs point to the episode being kind of campy but at the same time, we have confirmation that it's a real episode and not a special so I don't know why all the commercials are playing up the cheese factor.

Can't wait until tonight!

My husband (who doesn't watch "Degrassi") caught the ad, with the "skanky b*tch" line. I explained - just a little - as to who Bianca & Alli were to each other. He laughed.

I'm watching it right now, and now I'm convinced Alli isn't Muslim. Eating marshmallows? Omg, I highly doubt they were halaal Alli....... -.-
But yeah, part one just finished and it's pretty decent so far.

Omg, lmao. This has to be the funniest Degrassi episode I've ever seen.

-I love Bianca so much more after tonight's episode. "Or kidnap a virgin! Clare, Katie, sacrifice yourselves!"

-I hate Marisol so much more after tonight's episode.

-Dave seemed like he was purposefully trying to make his voice sound deeper >_>. I don't know if it just naturally got deeper or what, but it sounded fake.

-Bianca had the best lines ever. asdfghjkl;

Good Points:
- Bianca's witty comebacks (people let her slide too much)

- Seeing majority of the cast interact with each other.

- Alli/Clare drama

- Marisol is semi/less annoying - Dave is coming into his own as a man (I like that he didn't play the wimpy/dorky role) He seems more of a man, and not a slave to Alli.

- We got a better look at Jake

Bad Points:
- Still very campy, just too cheesy

- Clare still thinks that everything revolves around her.the writer are doing an AMAZING job at butchering the likability of Clare.

- the whole jake/eli/clare concept is just something I'm SO OVER and jake and clares relationship is not worth seeing a 2nd time around.

- I just don't like that all character interaction happened SO fast. - Alli needs a backbone, she still has serious insecurities.She lets clare complain too much.

Overall: Solid episode. (Not and episode i'll ever watch a 2nd time) but it was good to see all the character interact. Dave seems like he has matured. Eli was normal again,Bianca can really play the "bitch" role well although she is still much more forced then Alex Nunez was.

Overall Grade: B-

Not a favorite, that's for sure. And I'm pretty sure this is going to mess up the flow between parts one and two of the Season. I'm thinking I'm going to skip this one often when I marathon.

Wow, that episode was potent in fruitful events!

Bianca and Clare's budding friendship

Marisol and Katie's infamous tool-shed smoke up, and chainsawing their way out haha

Jake and Clare realizing they are brother and sister in the final scene as they turn their lights out, with their rooms now back to back

Sorry to double post:

AND...

Alli is starting her Grade 11 year worse off than her Grade 10 year beat her down to.

No friends. No boyfriend. Hope she's ready to study.

^Alli doesn't need to study, she's super smart. Plus she has Jenna!

Legit, the writers fucked up MAJORLY in this episode. Clare & Alli's friendship >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cake
Is Clare really gonna go back to dating Jake and stop being friends with her only girl friend?

This ep wasn't all that abd in itself, but it was one of those episodes that could've been a one parter without all the BS in the middle. I did like some stuff though:

-I like that they didn't make that big of a deal of the fact that Dave cheated on Ali, even if she lied about being a virgin, because that's kinda realistic.

-The wedding was as tacky and cheap as most weddings are in real life, instead of this big affairs that tv shows like to show, so that was good.

-Bianca is still on her way to redemption, and her friendship with Adam is growing, which will lead to them dating hopefully. (I still don't understand why she is working with their dad, though)

-Jake was eating a piece of cake with Claire's face on it, right before letting us know that they were back and hotter than ever.

Overall, I give this one a B-

Does anybody knows if there is a promo from the next part of the season released?

Anyone else find it distirbing how they've completly written out Darcy? I mean she wasn't even on the cake. For all we know Jake's dad doesnt even know Ms. Edwards has another daughter.

Bugged the hell out of me too! Especially with Stephen Stohn confirming Darcy references to occur in the latter half of Season 11. Guess "nowhere to run" wasn't one of those instances...?
