    One of the funniest episodes, and one of the most well-written. Overall grade is easily a B+ or so

    This was one of the funniest and best episodes of the series. I really loved this episode alot. hide show

    In this episode Zack locks Cody out of their suite after Cody takes a shower. All he is wearing is a towel. He gets yelled at by Carey and she warns him not to do it again. The Tipton bowling team is challenged to a bowling match by Ilsa and the St.Mark bowling team. The team is Moseby, Maddie, London, Carey, Estabon, Cody, and their star player is Zack. When Zack locks Cody out of their suite again with just a towel on again Carey grounds him and refuses to let him bowl in the game. Because of this, the Tipton team is losing the game badly. Zack finds out that Arwin is a star bowler and Arwin joins the Tipton bowling team and helps them win. This is one of the funniest and best episodes of the series and it is one of my favorites.

    funny... hide show

    Mosbey and the Tipton team face off against their arch rivals in a bowling match. I really like the crazy german lady (I forgot her name). She is halarious. Zack was the star bowler but got grounded and wasn't allowed to play. Someone had to replace him or they would have no chance. Esteban gets attacked by a crazy, huge lady, for the team, of course. Overall, the story in this episode was pretty funny and interesting. I loved the rival them. They were so weird and halarious. It was also funny watching everyone get mad at Carey. Overall, good episode.

    great episode hide show

    The Tipton bowling team is challenged to a bowling game by a very competitive rival Ilsa. Mr. Moseby, the manager of the team gets Zack to be the top bowler. Everything goes well until the day of the competition when Zack gets grounded by her mom for locking out Cody from their suite. Carey teaches Zack a lesson by living through the consequence of his own actions. The Tipton team goes to the competition without their best bowler, they easily get beaten up by their rival Ilsa throughout the game. The Tipton team gets their salvation through Arwin. It's a really funny episode.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Lonodn's cheerleading uniform in this episode later returns in Benchwarmers. []
  • In Arwin's flashback, there was no blue bowling ball on the floor. In the next shot there is one. It disappears and reappears again. []
  • Every bowler knows that the 7-10 split is one of the most hardest shots to obtain, only the most daring of the pro bowlers can get this split, but for this episode it was easy to obtain due to tv magic and a helping hand if you can see it carefully guiding it towards the other pin. []
More Trivia
  • Parts of this episode are in the opening credits (of Season Three): where Zack pushes Cody into the hallway in a towel, and when Cody is warming up for bowling. []
  • In this episode, Zack (Dylan Sprouse) is supposed to be a really good bowler, however, Dylan got "Worst Bowl" on Disney Channel's "Sing-A-Long Bowl-A-Thon". []
  • Caroline Rhea who plays Ilsa also stars in the DCOM Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire. She also played the role of Aunt Hilda in the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch. []
More Notes
  • Ilsa: Hello losers! I just wanted to come over to show you the highlights of your game, but you don't have any because you played like a bunch of girly girls! []
  • Moseby: I can't wait to look Ilsa straight in the mole and say " Looser, looser, looser, looser, looser loos..." (asking Zack) Why aren't you wearing your bowling shirt? []
  • Carey: (handing Cody his towel back) I can't believe you fell for it again.
    Cody: He did it differently this time.
    Carey: (unlocking door) Well he's not gonna do it again. []
More Quotes
  • When Cody is warming up before throwing the ball Zack yells at him to "throw the ball already". It is very similar to "The Honeymooners" when Norton would take a long time to do something and Ralph would yell for him to just do it. []
  • Mr. Moseby: I'll look Ilsa right in the mole.

    This is similar to the saying, "I'll look her right in the eye." []
  • London: Ohh a split!

    A split in bowling is not literally when the ball splits in two, but when there is a gap between the 7th and the 10th bowling pin. []
