This episode was a typical thanksgiving for an all American family. So you know it had to be full of those funny moments. I can totally relate to this family because they are just like my family. There is always chaos in the house or nothing ever goes as planned.

There are certainties within the world of Modern Family. Phil will act goofy. Mitchell will eschew physical contact. Gloria will compare Colombia to America.

This episode contained all of the aforementioned necessities of the show, so how did it do with them? Keep reading to find out!

The low down This is the Thanksgiving clip-show. Woo.

We learn:
1. Jud touched his eye after opening a hot pepper that Alina picked, but it fed into his strategy of not looking like a threat.

2. Purple Kelly did talk. She suffered a lot when it rained steadily and wanted to go home.

3. Naonka helped Kelly through it since she was part of their alliance.

4. Holly was persistently crazy early on, thinking there would be a tribe switch so that all of the city dwellers would be on one tribe and the other tribe would be people from rural areas (which is a good idea for a future season).

It’s time for everyone’s favorite episode! Makeovers! Always a fan favorite, this episode shows us and the losers just how far they’ve come. I’ve heard there’s a double elimination next week, do I’m hoping they won’t boot anyone tonight. But we shall see.

I’m bummed there’s no Tim Gunn this year. I suppose it’s because of the Project Runway move to Lifetime.

Enemies Domestic

The last episode was all about trying to keep Eli David, the Director of Mossad and also NCIS Agent Ziva’s father, alive. There was a very real danger, but Gibbs’ team was able to eliminate and contain a Palestinian terrorist group. Despite this, the episode ended with Eli’s bodyguard dead with no indication as to NCIS Director Leon Vance’s or Eli David’s well-being.

This episode resolves that and exposes the real enemy.

This was a good episode with a number of enjoyable moments. The writing appears to have taken a step up from early episodes with last week’s episode and this one is almost as good. It progresses bigger story arcs but not at the expense of smaller ones.

Glee – Recap & Review – Furt

Furt

Original Air Date: Nov 23, 2010

Every couple has a name. Puckleberry, Finchel, etc. So when the title of the episode “Furt” was released, and the plot was about Burt and Carole getting married, obviously this meant Finn and Kurt were either going to be horribly made fun of or going to finally come together (I was hoping for the second option, obviously).

But Sue in a wedding track suit totally threw me off (although I totally believe it will start a new trend! Especially in Vegas chapels…). And how did all the Glee kids wind up in the wedding?

Head on over to TheClubGlee to read about the entire episode!

Glee Debate Club – Furt


Welcome to another year of the McKinley Debate Club! We’re in our eighth session and things are changing every day in the hallways of McKinley High as school as in session.

Tonight, your favorite fan sites will discuss the Burt/Carole wedding, what is Furt, bullying and who exactly Sue married. As always, you are more than welcome to join in on the debate! And remember to come back and read TheClubGlee’s Recap & Review of the entire episode!

[Last updated Wednesday, Nov 24, 1:30 PM ET]

TheClubGlee: Farrah
Favorite Moment: Finn’s speech/dedicating a song to Kurt.
Favorite Quote: Kurt: When you call me “lady,” that’s bullying and it’s really hurtful.
Sue: I’m sorry. I genuinely thought that was your name.
Overall Episode Grade: A (Finally!)
Random Thought: I really enjoyed this episode. To watch Sue stand up to Karofsky so strongly, and defend Kurt (a person she usually doesn’t care for that much) … it was nice to see a softer side of Sue while still being snarky.

Head over to TheClubGlee.com to see the rest of the debate!

Relationships are being sorely tested this week. Will and his friend, Matthew Wade, who becomes a client. Kalinda and Blake take yet another step in the wrong direction. Alicia and Eli as Alicia learns of the voice mail Will left (and Eli deleted) at the end of S1. Zach listening to Becca (the teen she-devil of the show). Diane and Will, as Diane starts making plays to open her own firm.

In fact, this seemed more like a soap opera than a court procedural.

It’s finally time to hand out the mirror ball trophy. Well, after two hours of finale that is. All the celebrities from Season 11 are back (except for Michael Bolton who is performing at the Royal Albert Hall and Audrina Patridge who is ill).

The finalists danced two more dances. The first round was their favorite ballroom dance. Round two was an instant cha-cha-cha. Instead of giving out the usual scores, for the first round the judges were only allowed to give out one 8, one 9 and one 10. In round two they gave out whatever scores they wanted. The scores were added to their total from last night and the audience votes to determine the champion.
