Brian gets to be on The Bachelorette;Chris gets a pimple

"The Bachelorette" comes to Quahog and Brian is chosen to be a contestant. Brian does not like the show, but participates just to have a vacation only to wind up falling in love with the bachelorette. Meanwhile, Chris gets a nasty pimple on his cheek, which talks to Chris and likes to cause mischief. Eh, this episode was mixed between. Brian's plot was okay but not the best for him. I did crack at some of the scenes especially the one with Quagmire. Also, Stewie speaking in a high pitch voice, eh, I don't know about that, it was a little funny, but it went on a little long. Chris' subplot was much funnier. Some of the parts I laughed were Herbert's cameo, Chris and the zip (whose name is Doug) doing bad stuffs, the confession about Chris doing bad things, and a couple more. Overall, this was a great episode. 8/10moreless

I hated everything in this episode, except the pimple plot, I'm also sick of Brian's plots always being about him being in love with another HUMAN

But a horrible episode

Mostly pretty good episode, but definitely not one of my favorites.

"Great"

By marebear2009, Apr 28, 2011

Overall, I thought this was a great episode. Both plots were pretty good, and a lot of the jokes made me laugh, especially in the first half, like Peter's cow kite, Stewie as a teenager, and Quagmire checking the Bachelorette's producer's room for monsters. I also thought Herbert's appearance was funny, and it was weird but hilarious when Chris's pimple started talking to him. The second half, however, was pretty boring to me, and I felt really sorry for Brian by the end. There was one scene near the end that made me laugh, though, and that was when Chris was at the doctor's office. So, overall, despite the second half being kind of boring, I really liked this episode. It definitely wasn't a favorite of mine, though. Final grade: B. Marebear2009, out!moreless

"Fair"

By futuramarama, Apr 17, 2010

Brian wants to win on a show called "The Bachelorette." Chris gets a pimple. But of course, not an ordinary pimple, but a pimple that talks him into creating mischief.

If this is the episode with Stewie talking to Brian about his book for 2 different scenes, then this episode has one of the dumbest gags in the series. Happening once was bad enough, having it happen a second time screamed "Filler".

The sub plot was funny in a severely idiotic way. Overall my grade for this is a C or so. It is good, but nowhere near as great as other episodesmoreless

- Stewie: Oh, I know it hurts now Brian, but look at the bright side, you have some new material for that novel you've been writing. You know, the…the novel you've been working on. (voice getting higher pitched) You know, the…the one, uh, you been working on for three years. You know, the…the novel. Mm, got something new to write about now. You know, maybe…uh, maybe a main character gets into a relationship, suffers a little heart break. Something like uh, what…what you been, you just been through. Draw from the real life experience. Little uh, little heart break. You know…work it into the story. Make those characters a little more three dimensional. Little, uh, richer experience for the reader. Make those second hundred pages really keep the reader guessing, what's going to happen. Some twists and turns. Little epilogue, everybody learns the hero's journey isn't always a happy one. (voice returns to normal) Oh, I look forward to reading it.
