    Tom's Rhinoplasty. LOVE this episode! I first watched it in May 2009. Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and Wendy Testaburger finds herself madly jealous with young, pretty substitute teacher Ms. Ellen. Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and all the other boys in the 3rd Grade instantly take to Ms. Ellen, with the addition of Chef, who aimed to "make love to her down by the fire." Wendy darkly creates a plan to get Ms. Ellen out of the substitute teaching job, from buying her a dead animal for Valentine's Day to sending in the United Nations of Iraq to send her to the sun. The episode concludes with a well known line that supported how far Wendy would go to draw away any competition when it came to her first love Stan Marsh. This episode was aired shortly before Valentine's Day in 1998 and was a first season episode. The song that played during the Wendy/Stan montage was beautiful, too. Cute but dark episode, definately one to watch! Ciao! :-) xxxmoreless

    Mr. Garrison gets a nose job and soon all women in South Park love him, so he decides to quit teaching. This is fine because the new teacher, Ms. Ellen, is one all the boys like, especially Stan. Wendy is worried she will lose Stan to Ms. Ellen and vows revenge.

    The ending is one of my favorite endings to the show, just because it is really funny and well-done. The whole episode is pretty much flawless, as far as I am concerned. Overall grade for this episode is definitely going to be an A+. Hilarious episode, I think anywaymoreless

  • I don't get why people think this is the best episode of Season 1.

    This episode is the worst of the so far fantastic Season 1. Not to say this episode was bad, it just didn't have the same oomph as the other episodes. This episode seems very similar to 'Scott Tenorman Must Die', except based around a character I don't like, Wendy Testaburger. Without a doubt, the funniest part of this episode is the misinterpretation of how to be a lesbian, by Cartman and the boys. "Licking carpet", "Eating box", "My Grandfather was lesbian, so that makes me quarter-lesbian." The main reason I didn't like the episode was because it was based around Wendy, who is just a character I don't like. Otherwise, it would have been up there with my favourites.moreless

    I thought this episode was hilarious for many reasons, but I thought it was cruel that an innocent woman was sent to her doom to the center of the Sun or just the Sun itself. It's wrong and it's a bad idea for this episode. But, since that really didn't happen, I'm not going to give this episode a 8.5/10 rating like I just was about to do after changing 9.4/10 which is now 9.7/10. This episode was clever and excellent. I liked the idea of the boys attempting to be a lesbian and literally licking carpet.

    A substitute is here and her name is Ms. Ellen. All the boys like her, even Stan, and Wendy is mad. She wants Stan all for herself, which is totally hot and I would totally love that if a girl liked me that much.

    This episode was hilarious!moreless
