With Paige out for revenge after the incident involving Matt, they go to battle. Is Degrassi big enough for two ruling alpha girls?

  • Paige versus Manny.

    "Great"
    By Jon_MW_14, Jul 20, 2011
    "West End Girls" is a pretty good Degrassi episode. I love how there's a feud between Manny and Paige. I really didn't like Paige in season 4. I loved her in seasons 1-3 and 5-7, but not season 4. I felt as if she became an even bigger b!tch by the end of season 4. That's exactly why I love how Manny and the squad devise the plan to drop Paige during their routine. Paige deserved it after being a stuck-up brat, who should be a little my sympathetic after all she's been through. What I really love about this episode is that Kevin Smith guest stars, and he wants to film "Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian Eh!" at Degrassi. I give this episode a 8/10.moreless

  • It seems like people didn't like this episode. I thought it was kind of funny. Paige TOTALLY deserved it though, and you know it, deep, deep inside yourself.

    A-Plot was a full on Manny vs. Paige **** fight. It begins with a super duper power squad practice. Paige goes all alpah-**** on them and acts like she owns the place. Than Toby asks out Manny and she goes with Marco instead. Oh Snap! Toby is jealous.

    Anyways, Hazel says Paige is going shopping, which makes her emotional. Wow Paige, after all the crazy stuff thats happened to you something as trivial as shopping makes you get all hormonial. Manny comes there and she is in the same dress. I guess emotional was like the bad kind of emotional, because paige gets angry. Later Paige is at it again when she changes the choreography, right after her teacher boyfriend leaves. This makes manny and Darcy angry, so they twist her leg and start laughing. Haha twisted legs are so funny.

    Manny goes to prom (even though she's a sophomore.... I thought prom was only for juniors/seniors, but whatever) and she and Darcy are guilty. Well, Darcy is. Then Paige arrives all loud and obnoxious and Hazel shuts her up. Good for her. Paige gets angry and ends up pulling off Manny's prom dress. WHOOP! classic moment. Silent Bob catches him, and he decides to film at degrassi. Where else?

    A-Plot: A- 90%

    The other plot has craig and ashley trying to get on the soundtrack on his movie. Big whop.

    B-Plot: D- 60%

    Final Grade: B Awesome Quote: "If I peed in the foye, Paige would claim she gave me the water" - Manny

    Awesome Quote 2: "Ninth Grade- My date is orange and I'm sporting a screaming sun burn. Tenth Grade- Our limo driver jim boy jed, The criminal, delivers us, in a cop cruiser. Eleventh grade, it gets worse- half wacked, on pain killers, I arrive, with a date who doesn't like girls. On the special bus! HELLO EVERYONE! HAPPY PROM, ISNT THIS SO, PERFECTLY FESTIVE?!?" - Paigemoreless

    Dang. Going so far as to break another girl's leg... Hmm... I wish I could do that to some of the girls at my school... >:) And what's great ish for manny is that she just orchestrated the whole "accident." She really can't be framed for anything. But dang... Breaking Paige's leg?? Vengeful much maybe?? So, go figure, cat-fight between Manny the slut and Paige the Queen Bee. Typical... *sigh* Ah well... It almost makes for good drama... Almost. But how in the heck does the feud end in the bathroom after they tell each other how b*tchy the other is?????? That's what totally threw me off and got me lost... Oh well... Onto the next drama conflict!!!!moreless

    This episode started out with Paige and Manny not getting along as usual. Manny had taught the squad a good routine, but Paige took credit for it. Then Manny embarrased Paige in front of the whole squad.Manny asked Hazel to help smooth things over between her and Paige. Hazel and Paige seen Manny at the mall. Paige and Manny were trying on the same dress, but Manny had the size on that Paige wanted. Running into each other at the mall really didn't help. Paige got mad at Manny and made her the mascot.Manny asked Darcy and some of the squad to toss Paige up in the air, so she would break her leg.Paige leg gets broken, and Manny is caught her act.The night of the dance really got everything started.Paige signed all of the cards for the dance queen that night, for Manny.They annouced the queen and it was Manny. Paige was over-joyed because it was a part of her plan. She stepped up on stage with her cruches, and put them on Manny's dress. So, Manny's dress was ripped and she embarrased. Kevin caught Manny as she fell off the stage in humiliation. Paige and Manny have their confrontation in a small room.moreless

  • TRIVIA (8)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • During the bathroom scene between Manny and Paige, right before Paige entered, Manny was crying. When she looks in the mirror, her makeup is fine and there is no that it was running. If she was crying, wouldn't her mascara or eye liner be streaming down her face?

    • When Chantay and Darcy spin Paige in the air and break her leg, it's clear that Lauren Collins is replaced by a stunt double.

    • The song playing when Manny and Paige are trying on dresses is the same song played when they had their cat fight in the episode "Modern Love".

    • When Paige tells Manny that she has to be the mascot for the end of the year pep rally or she, Darcy, Chantay and Hazel are off the squad isn't it kind of an empty threat? The rally is sending the school into summer so why would it matter if they were kicked off 2 hours before the school year ended? They would've had to audition in the fall anyway.

    • The song that is playing as Paige and Hazel try on dresses is "Sassy Thing" by X-Quisite.

    • During the scene where the girls are trying on prom dresses, Manny is wearing the same pair of earrings that she wore in "Holiday".

    • During the dance routine: the girl wearing an orange shirt sitting alone stands up to fix herself and then the spirit squad does a cartwheel and in the next shot the girl in orange is shown from behind sitting in between 2 other girls.

    • At the end of the year pep rally when Principal Hatzilakos is talking it shows Paige behind of her but when it cuts back to it Hazel is behind Principal Hatzilakos
