"Fair"

By Cheetahchick, Aug 24, 2010 Report Abuse

It was a fairly good episode, I enjoyed watching Zack and Cody attempt to woo Jolie, the French girl. However, as a native French speaker, I find they should have hired an actress that actually spoke French. This actress did not pronounce most of the words properly, with the exception of the word "oui".
I really love the huge glasses Zack wore at the end of the episode, I have a pair almost identical, except mine are purple. :P
I also find it very weird how Bob, who was introduced to us as the dyslexic student in Zack and Cody's school, speaks such fluent French.moreless

Zack wants to date a french girl he met at the Tipton, but Cody wants to get the girl for a change. So, in order to uploud his self-esteem, Cody locks Zack in a closet and takes his chance. Cody gets the date, but Zack is willing to give up so easily. Yeah, Zack is a pretty bad sport. He selfishly ruins the date and attempt to claim the girl for himself. Now, this what bugged in this episode. Women are not property and it is sexist to believe that you can put a tag on them (and yes, I'm a guy!). Oh, and in the subplot, who cares if Estaban got beat by a girl! It's only manly if you can accept defeat. In the long run, Cody may not always get the girl, but if both he and Zack were going get that competitive over a person they barely know or respect, I guess it's clear why none of them got the girl. Although, Bob's look at the end when he asked out the french girl was hilarious.moreless

Cody gets the date with the girl and Moseby has to go along to take care of them. This is funny enough but then when Zack tries to ruin the date and win the girl it gets even funnier. Especially when Zack gives Cody those cards with french words on them. Cody uses them on the girl and they turn out to be insults. These scenes are so funny. The whole story is funny. And in the end neither one of the boys ends up with the girl. In the end it's Bob who ends up with the girl. The episode is very good and very funny and it's one of my favorites.moreless

ZACK! Well, the underdogs and leaders, I guess you could call them, went back and forth a lot. First, Zack would get the beautiful Jolie's attention by beckoning her and eating a muffin.. While the icing would get on his nose. Jolie would laugh, Zack, unknowingly would say, "She wants me" and then Cody would fill him in, lol.

Then, after some advise from Carrie, Cody would go ask for help from Mr. Moseby to translate to Jolie if she would like to go dancing with him. But first, he would have to get rid of Zack: "Hey, you don't mind if I borrow your shirt-didn't think so!" "No wait! It's in the closet" and Cody would trick Zack into going into the closet and locking the door while Cody would go get Mr. Moseby for help to translate "Do you want to go dancing with me?" in French. Fortunately, Jolie says yes. =)

Then Zack, discovers Cody has made a date with Jolie, and then the sneak makes a plan to make Jolie his. He calls Bob to go with him to the same dancing join that Cody and Jolie are going to (not on a date, lol) and Bob would go ask Cody for "a math question" while Zack would go and compliment Jolie with some cards. When Cody got back, Zack would give Cody some cards, saying they were insults making Cody think they weren't when they actually were, so that put Cody in deep trouble.

Eventually Carrie would force Zack to go apologize to Jolie and eventually, JOLIe WOULd FALl FOr ANd KISs ZACk. Ugh, foiled again. Cody can never get any pretty girls without Zack getting in the way. So it was a great episode, just kind of annoying and ugh.. A pain in the butt, lol.moreless

To me love is serial and could say it is one of the best I have seen. It is important to realize what "anything goes in love and war" ... In the end neither takes the girl. Curious, most of the minor characters I love. The laughter me to the store for what Esteban ....When they want to simulate a robbery, the truth is that some scenes of the episodes ... They are always full of surprises! Lastly, the most curious fact is the console on the sofa, appears in a scene and then disappears art of magic tricks It's great!moreless
