The 1st contest section is Extreme Sofa-bed Skydiving! Trent and D.J. face this hard challenge, while Owen gets moose-punched! But D.J. plays dirty by pushing Trent out too soon, and Trent breaks all his bones! Unfortunately, D.J.'s tactic works as he wins the first section. While the 2nd contest section, the Extreme Moose-riding Challenge is set up, Bridgette and Gwen try to figure out which lucky lady got a love haiku written to them, and who wrote it. But their guesses are Way off! Geoff can't hold onto the mooses' antlers, and he gets tossed off! But LeShawna proves she can ride with the best of them, and wins the 2nd challenge portion! The final contest section is Extreme Water-skier challenge without water! And this is a doozy! Heather Won't let Harold win, while Harold's Determined to win!

Boy, LeShawna's going to be Mad about That one for a while! :twisted: Enough said! ;)

This episode reveals deep down inside the most unlikely personalities, lurks a dark side if one knows how to find it. When Duncan and Courtney met, it obviously seemed like matter meeting anti-matter, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, or the fight between the cobra and the mongoose. Duncan and Courtney couldn't be more opposite of each other if they tried! Duncan rebels against anything he chooses to, while Courtney always tries to do the right thing even when it isn't popular. But when Duncan met Courtney, he found within a spirit who wouldn't lash back, someone who wouldn't let his attitude push her away. In other words, he found the one girl who could get under his skin like no other girl could. Courtney finds out despite Duncan's bad attitude, he's a strong player and she needs his help on the Killer Bass in order to win challenges. But soon, Courtney stops Needing Duncan and starts Wanting Duncan! In the camping trip, even though she was reviled by Duncan's ghost story, she still found comfort next to him in spite of her denials. But it wasn't until Courtney saw that Duncan had a soft side in giving a rabbit to D.J., that she finally started to actually love/like him! In this episode, Courtney finds out playing by Chef Hatchet's rules is hard! Then Duncan shows Courtney there's an easier way to play. It just takes someone who's willing to break the rules in order to win. While Courtney had Never taken unneccesary chances on anything before, she decides to take a chance with Duncan! And boy, do they cause trouble! They raid Chef Hatchet's refrigerator, and take all his food! And Courtney can't stop eating the stolen delicacies! Although it makes her sick, rebelling against the system gives her an adrenaline rush she's never felt before, and she Likes it! Duncan finally gets what he wants from Courtney: a kiss from his true love. But one camper wants to do more than just break the rules: he wants revenge! Everyone has a breaking point, and after being constantly mocked, abused, and humiliated by nearly every other camper on "T.D.I.," Harold has had enough! Harold knows nothing physical and nothing mental will hurt Duncan directly, so Harold instead decides to target the one he loves. Harold does something Truly evil: He Alters the votes, gets Courtney eliminated, and hurts Duncan where it hurts most! If Harold and Heather ever team up, that would truly be a dangerous combo! :shock: Only time will tell if this trend continues! :idea: And I give this remarkable episode a 10 out of 10! :D Enough said! ;)

I enjoy shows with an origin episode. With origins, it's easier to understand where a character has come from, and makes it easier to understand where a character might go from there. In this case, Bubbie was once just a talking blue whale living a normal life. Until one day, she came upon a clump of seaweed. But it was no ordinary seaweed clump. Inside the kelpy patch, was a beautiful baby boy orphan! Just floating on the ocean. His eyes and face were so endearing, Bubbie's maternal instincts kicked in right then and there. She took Flapjack in (naked as he was,) adopting and raising him as her own child. Now Flapjack wants to be a big brother! Only, Bubbie's reluctance to be honest about the birds and the bees leads to confusion on Flapjack's part, and he searches for a baby brother on another seaweed patch. What he finds, is a seagull. Taking care of a seagull is no walk in the park, or a walk on the docks! But Flapjack tries to be a good-albeit misguided-big brother. Inevitably, there comes a time when seagulls must fly the coop and rejoin their feathered breathern. At least Flapjack feels a bit older having 11 minutes of brother bonding, and knows he's closer to becoming an adventurer! Meanwhile, Peppermint Larry has a passion for many things. One is of marionette performances. Unfortunately, the two new marionette's he gets look like live rats and his Candy Barrel gets shut down by the Dock Hag! But the ever-optimistic, helpful Flapjack tells Peppermint Larry that he can't take this setback laying down, for when life gives him lemons, he needs to make lemonade candy! And so, that's what Larry decides to do! He turns his hobby into a new job, putting on marionette shows, featuring his new puppet star: Pancake! Only, the puppet's portrayal is...a little too close to home for Flapjack's taste! Can Flapjack find a way to show Peppermint Larry it's not nice to make fun of others, even when what is said is true? Probably! :idea: This show rocks! ;)

While "Boating Buddies" as a segment was disappointing, this segment got "Spongebob Squarepants" moving in a positive direction again! It's no secret Mr. Krabs feels down whenever customer sales are down, but today, Mr. Krabs feels even more down because he paid a nickel for an ad in a newspaper, and there have been no additional sales! Until he learns about newspapers that stretch the truth sell more papers then factual newspapers. Then Mr. Krabs gets a brillant idea: Why settle for newspaper ads when he can publish his Own newspapers? Mr. Krabs wastes no time, he acquires a huge printing press, then puts Spongebob to work in order to acquire interesting stories. Only, Spongebob's story about Patrick is Less then interesting. Mr. Krabs tells Spongebob that what he needs to do in order to sell newspapers is to use his imagination and 'Embellish' the truth a bit. It starts out small. First Spongebob writes that Patrick marries a pole, Larry the Lobster gets beaten up by a weakling, and Mrs. Puff got caught in a high speed chase. It isn't long though before Mr. Krabs begins to completely re-edit Spongebob's stories and pictures in order to make them more interesting (and make more money,) amd ruins other creature's lives as a result. While Spongebob's only slightly guilty that Plankton's Chum Bucket gets closed down because of the Krabby Kronicle tabloids, Spongebob really regrets it when other scientists question Sandy's intelligence! But with Spongebob Mr. Krabs mercy, threatening to take Spongebob's spatula away if he doesn't cooperate, what can the reporter do? Fortunately, Spongebob knows the answer's right in front of him. The next story Spongebob writes, reveals the truth to everyone! Spongebob writes the story on how Spongebob never wrote any of the headlines that made others lives miserable, it was all Mr. Krab's doing, and Mr. Krabs over-worked Spongebob to! Outraged, all the Krabby Kronicle customers march right in to get all the money they spent on Mr. Krabs' dirty story! This is a lesson that Mr. Krabs won't forget anytime soon! :idea: Enough said, true believers! ;)

I once thought the "Power Ranger" franchise had ended, their cultural relevance was finished, and there were no more tricks up their sleeves. But when I decided to give this series a third chance for this season, all my expectations were completely blown away! :D This show's performance has done a complete 180 since its mostly lackluster performance in the past three seasons! Now instead of only coming up with maybe two great episodes every season, "P.R.J.F." instead manages to make every Other episode a great episode! And this one is no exception! Camille wants recognition for her loyalty and steadfast fighting against the Power Rangers to be noticed by the evil Dai Shi. One other monster however, doesn't desire loyalty. In fact, the Rinshi being known as Naja actually desires to Destroy Dai Shi, and take all the power for himself! And if he can get a couple of other Rinshi to follow suit and pledge loyalty to Naja instead, that's all the better for him! But Camille proves the only way Naja will get what he wants is if he bests her in battle! At first, Camille thinks she has it won when her chameleon tongue starts to turn Naja into stone! But Naja has some aces up his sleeve: Nails of Life! Using one of them, he cures himself of his statue condition and starts to attack Camille. Although Camille has always risked herself battling directly on the front lines, she's actually no match for Naja. Meanwhile, Casey doesn't think he's ready to run a restaurant in R.J.'s absence, and tries to split the responsibility up evenly. This ends up creating chaos and confusion! And although Camille gets beaten, she's not yet defeated! She learns a tactical lesson from Dai Shi. Whatever doesn't destroy her, makes her stronger. If she can manage to absorb attacks rather then deflect them, she could overcome Naja! So Camille decides to trick the Power Rangers into firing their Claw Cannon at her. Camille manages to take their attacks, and gain strength from their cannon-shots! A strengthened-up Camille returns, destroying Naja and his revived monsters, gaining three of Naja's nails of life in the process, sure to be of valuable use in Dai Shi's evil plans! And the Rangers figure out how to delegate work and how to take and give orders! This episode is great! :idea: Enough said, true believers! ;)
