Glee Rumours - Likes and Dislikes

Potential Spoilers in this post! Use caution!

Sorry that we have been a little bit neglectful of the blog this weekend. It's crunch time at school for me, so I've been working on finals and stuff before graduation! Whitney's been busy pluggin' away at a little surprise we'll have for our followers... so stay tuned.

Since Prom is so close, but Rumours was so good, we're going to do a little "Likes and Dislikes" segment... like we do every week. This week's episode was epic. There wasn't a whole lot that I didn't love about it. But even though there might be way more that I liked about the episode than I disliked, there was still some interesting interactions during the episode. Here's what we think:

Likes

1)Fondue for Two: Fondue For Two was epic. It was one of those things you'd never expect to see in any television show, but something you hope continues to repeat itself. Brittany was hilarious, Lord Tubbington was hilarious, the theme song was hilarious. We couldn't wish Fondue For Two to be on more episodes than we do now. Please RIB-- Season 3 regular webisode!!!

2)The music: Literally, all of the music was phenomenal. It is so hard for me to pick a performance that I like the best. Ok, well I'd pick "Songbird". But the second place song literally could be any other song that was sung. Rachel did a bang up job on "Go Your Own Way". She totally put her 'Rachel Berry Feminine Twist', and it rocked. "Don't Stop" was great. And it was so cute to see Sam's little 'Trouty Mouth' family. Artie did an awesome job on "Never Going Back Again" (sidenote-- the original is one of my favorite songs, and I think Artie held his own...) Then you have a hilarious Fuinn performance. We even liked the way Schue sand "Dreams"! Really... there wasn't a bad song in this episode. 

3)A Vulnerable Sam Storyline: They even said it in the episode: "What do we know about Sam, anyway?" Sam has been an important character throughout the second season, but we haven't really gotten to know him like we know the other characters. It was really nice to see a Chord Overstreet storyline come to play. It made us more emotionally connected to Sam, and it fit the creative genius of a story line that Ryan Murphy and company have created.

4)Finchel: There was so much Finchel chemistry this week, we don't even know what to do! This is such a huge step in the right direction for Finchel fans. Rachel and Finn staked out together not once, but twice. Then they went to talk to Sam together. Looks like they're in more scenes together than Finn and Quinn... Let's hope things get interesting!

5)Brittana: For Brittana fans, there was also a step in the right direction this week. After Artie did something that we didn't like... see below... Brittany runs to Santana. And Santana was there with a love song. Step up your game Artie!

6)Sue Sylvester: Dressed up like David Bowie and Anne Coulter... 'nuff said!

7)April Rhodes: Usually we don't like April Rhodes... or at least I don't. I like Kristin Chenoweth, don't get me wrong, but her character tends to be a show-stealer when she guests. This week, I think there was the perfect combination of April Rhodes and the hilarity that she brings to the show. It made her character really enjoyable this week!

8)The Use of Fan-related Terms: It seems like they've started doing this a lot lately... using fan-related terms, or putting things in episodes that only real fans would know. Starting with the "Ferry Veil" reference in A Night of Neglect, to the use of "trolling" by Terri and the awesome shipper names in this week's episode. Keep it up, guys. Fans are diggin' it!

Dislikes:

1)Artie No offense, Kevin McHale, we know you're not Artie, but man, we were upset with the way you talked to Brittany this week! The girl's got feelings, too! As we all learned from BTW-- She's with Stoopid. Not to mention, regardless of the cheating (it's not justification, but...), Santana is first and foremost Brittany's BFF. Of course she's going to defend her. Leave Brittany alone! Don't call her stupid again, or you'll get kicked to the curb, for sure... if you haven't been already...

2)Lack of Mercedes and Tina: We know this is said every week, and we know it's impossible for RIB to integrate 15 character-lines into 43 minutes, but those girls literally had like 2 lines this whole episode. We are sure that's bound to change... just know we miss you girls!

3)No 10 AM and I'm Drunk? According to spoilers, we were supposed to have an April Rhodes Song called "It's 10 AM and I'm Drunk". Didn't see it this time... maybe there's still hope, but that's something that we were really looking forward to from Ms. Rhodes!


As you can tell from the lack of "Dislikes" and the overabundance of "Likes", we thought this was one of the best episodes this season! I hope they do another album-centered show again, because I think an album can really address multiple story lines. Plus, it makes for an incredibly interesting storyline.

So, are you ready for Prom?! If the last two episode were any indication of how phenomenal this season is going to end... we're in for a real treat! Two more days Gleeks!

Rumours - Gleecap!

WARNING: If you haven't seen Rumours yet, I wouldn't read anymore of this post :)

Ok, so, as we thought, the Rumours episode last night was epic. I don't even know where to start, but I'll sure try and break it down for you as best I can... So, without further adu:

1) Two words: Fondue for Two. (Shouldn't that be three words? I'm shaking my head like you're dumb for even suggesting it...) Anyways, the episode starts off with Brittany's new web-series Fondue for Two! In this, they want to get all the "hot dish", so she invites Tina Cohen Chang and Mercedes Jones to discuss it. In doing so, she sort of "outs" Santana... accidentally of course.

2) Sue brings the "Muckraker" back to McKinley. Why? Not for news.. for rumors. She's stirring the pot, getting all kinds of crazy rumors started. In the first edition, it says that Sam and Quinn were seen together, and that Santana has been spending "time in her closet". So, naturally, Finn gets really ticked off at Quinn and Sam, thinking that they are having an affair. Then, Santana gets really upset at Brittany for outing her on her "Stupid Melted Cheese Show", even though Brittany means she just stopped playing for the Cheerios and started playing for New Directrions... oh Brittany.

3) Artie finds out that Brittany has been cheating on him with Santana and gets really upset and calls her stupid. Really Artie? That was dumb. Good way to keep "the hottest girl in school"... Anyways, Brittany starts crying, and Santana is there to comfort the Sad Little Panda with an amazing cover of Songbird. You may have heard it when we posted it earlier. Well, I died a little, but that's beside the point. Brittany tells Santana to come on Fondue for Two so that she can ask her to Prom. She agrees. But doesn't come. Instead Brittany interviews Lord Tubbington.

4) Major Rachel-Finn-Quinn drama. Quinn tells Finn he can't do any solos with Rachel if she wanted to be with her. Rachel wants Finn to sing solos with her because she still loves him. Finn thinks Quinn is cheating and doesn't even know what to do.

5) April Rhodes comes back and wants Will to help her write a Broadway show. Rumors swirl that Will would quit the Glee club to do it. Emma even encourages it since Will has been so good helping her cope with her OCD. Heck... I encourage it. Be gone Mr. Schue. Or else stop being douchey.

6) During a stakeout, Finn and Rachel see Kurt leaving a motel room with Sam. They also see Quinn leaving a motel room with Sam. The only conclusion they could come up with is that he was hooking up with them. So they thought Sam was a slut, was a slut, was a slut!

7) Turns out Sam's dad lost his job, so their family lost their house. So now they live in a motel room, which is why Quinn was seen with him. Which is also why Kurt was seen with him. Then the whole Glee club felt bad for accusing him of being gay and hooking up with Quinn. So at the end they all rally behind him and sing Don't Stop with him to his sister and brother. It was a heartfelt moment. 

8) Other notables: Terri went trolling, Sue dressed up like David Bowie and Ann Coulter, Lord Tubbington can eat cheese because he is on Atkins, and McTina Cohen Chang-Chang and Pizes was created.

And that's what you missed on Glee!

Brittana - Rumours

Spoilers if you haven't watched "Rumours" but I mean come on..how could you not watch it knowing that it was a Fleetwood Mac tribute?

Alright, so here we are, another week into the drama that is Brittana. If you need a recap on their whole deal, feel free to click here and read it from the beginning.

This episode starts out with a web talk show that Brittany has started called "Fondue for Two". Her, Mercedes and Tina are discussing rumors that are going around the school and eventually Brittany reveals that she has head that Santana plays for the other team and can confirm that that is 100% true. Oops..accidental outing? Well, not quite. When Santana yells at Brittany for saying that she plays for the other team, Brittany says that she does, she used to be on the Cheerios team and now she's only on the New Directions (team). Santana is a little frustrated with the wording that Brittany chose but seems to let go of that pretty quickly. Someone who is finally picking up on the Brittana action: Artie. Artie confronts Brittany about how there is something going on between the two of them. Brittany says that that can't happen because they are both girls and that's not cheating because it's friends talking with their tongues super close and Santana reassures her that that is not cheating. Artie says that Santana is just manipulating her and that if there is anyone else out there that is giving her something that he should be but can't, then that is too much for him to take. He goes on to say that Santana is aware of this and is using it to break them up. Brittany defends Santana by saying she's not this bad person that everyone thinks she is and then Artie says probably the worst thing he couldn't ever said and asks Brittany why she is so stupid? Brittany runs off crying because he was the only person at the school that had never called her that. Offensive. GTFO Artie.

During Artie's song, we see a little bit of Santana comforting Brittany in the hallway after she's telling her that Artie called her stupid.

Next up in their story: Songbird. This song leaked last week and we here at Trouty Mouth have been listening to it nonstop because Naya Rivera's voice is friggin' outstanding and we want her to get every solo. Anyways, she sings "Songbird" to Brittany alone in a room. Well, alone plus Brad. This solo is very intimate and heartfelt. I'm pretty sure I might've stopped breathing during this performance because it was so emotional. 

After it's finished, Brittany asks Santana why she couldn't sing it in front of everyone since her and Artie are broken up. She says that she's not ready for that yet and that people are already starting to treat her differently ever since her "playing for the other team" rumor was circulating (i.e. she was asked to join the golf team). Brittany asks if Santana will tell everyone about it if she goes first. She tells Santana to come onto "Fondue for Two" and Brittany will tell everyone her feelings for Santana, ask her to Prom and all Santana has to do is say yes. Santana says that she will do it. 

Well, the next episode of "Fondue for Two" airs and Brittany says that her guest was supposed to be Santana, however, she got a text from Santana that just said, "I can't." Brittany recovers nicely though, continuing the show with her cat, Lord Tubbington. PS - Lord Tubbington, please quit smoking, it's not good for you.

In the final Brittana scene of the evening, it's back to heartbreak for all of us. Jacob Ben Israel is questioning Santana about rumors of her and Karofsky doing it in a parked car in the cemetery. Santana says she has no comments about that rumor. Jacob then asks for comments about how after he looked up the IP address that that rumor was posted from how come it turned out to be hers and she says that her computer was stolen. Obviously this whole episode is happening near the lockers (where all Brittana heartbreak goes on) and Brittany can hear all of it. Santana tells Jacob that her and Karofsky are going strong in their king and queen campaign and to vote Santofsky. Jacob asks her if they are in love and soulmates, and when he does, Santana just looks at Brittany and says, "Yea..I'd say that was accurate."

That is the end of the Brittana drama from this episode. Next week is the Prom episode and then there are only two more episodes after that (depression!) so I'm sure some crazy things will be happening and I can't wait!

Holy Sweet Hell: Brittana Recap

That's right everyone: Brittana. With last week's progress that was made between the two in the "Born This Way" episode, we over here at Troutymouth.com felt that it was time to go back and discuss how they went from the hilarious comedic duo who couldn't be separated to being in love with each other. Some saw it coming from the beginning, some did not. I'll admit that I didn't think this storyline would pick up. But thankfully it did. So let's do this thang!

As I'm sure all of us remember, in the first season of "Glee", Brittany and Santana were the hilarious cheerleaders that were always together. Santana being a bitch, Brittany being..less bright than others. The two linking their pinkies in the choir room as well as when they are walking down the hallway. And of course the infamous 4-6 way (depending on how you look at it) phone call where Santana tells everyone that "Sex isn't dating." and Brittany replies with, "Yea, if it were, then Santana and I would be dating." Let the full on shipping begin…

It was easy to get away with saying that line and either possibly developing a storyline or not because Santana and Brittany are so friendly with..well, everyone. Fast forward to season 2, episode 4: "Duets". Puck is away in juvie and Santana needs something warm beneath her so she can digest her food, which is where Brittany comes in. The two are making out on Brittany's bed (because it was a good break from..other things) and Brittany is talking about how she wants Santana to be her duet partner and sing "Come To My Window" by Melissa Etheridge. Solid choice. Santana claims that she's' not making out with Brittany because she's in love with her and doesn't want to sing about making lady babies. And Britt is clearly disappointed. Brittany continues to be mad at Santana for not singing with her but says that she's still so hot. She even tells Santana that she will not be allowed to the twins on Brittany's chest any longer, something that Santana seemed to not be happy about. She gives this look at the end of that scene that is like a cross between, "What!? No! I wants those and I wants 'em now" and "oh snap, did anyone see her do that?".

After we had that little glimpse into what I personally wasn't sure was going to take off, we had to wait for what felt a lifetime (like what...14 episodes?) to get back to the subject of Brittana. In the episode "Sexy", it starts with Santana this time. She asks Britt-Britt if she wants to come over and watch "Sweet Valley High" and get their cuddle on. That doesn't happen because Brittany thinks she's pregnant..but it turns out that it's only a stork building it's nest outside her house. I can't decide what's worse…the thought of Artie getting Brittany pregnant or that she thought there was an actual stork out there. I'm gonna go with the first one being worse (no hate on Kevin McHale…just Artie). ANYWAYS, later we find ourselves in Santana's room with her and Brittany. Brittany (emphasis needed for a later discussion) brings up how she really likes it when her and Santana make out and stuff but is confused about her feelings and tries to tell Santana that it's better when there are feelings between the people involved. Santana (in denial about Brittany) tells her that that isn't true and that she often prefers doing it without eye contact. Due to the confusion that both girls are facing, they go to talk to the sex ed sub Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) about it. Holly asks the girls if either one of them think that they are a lesbian to which both of them say they aren't sure. Santana says that she's attracted to guys and attracted to girls as well. Holly then says that it's not about who you are attracted to but who you fall in love with and suggests that maybe they sing a song that can best express their feelings. Santana says she has the perfect song in mind and chooses the song "Landslide".

They sing it with Holly (well, mainly Holly, grr…) and the whole time they are looking at each other and it is just very emotional and I mean come on, Santana is crying. And for once it's not because she has to ride in a wheelchair or because she can't go to Breadstix. After the song is over, Brittany asks her if that's how she really feels and Santana says yes. But then of course, Rachel makes a (hilarious) comment about how she's impressed by the sapphic charm in their song. This causes Santana to retreat and say that just because she sang a song with Brittany, doesn't mean that you can label her and walks back to her seat, where we are left with a heartbroken Brittany. And now, it's time for…the hurt locker scene. Santana comes to Brittany to tell her that the reason she's a bitch all the time is that she has all of these feelings for Brittany but doesn't want to express them because she is afraid of what people will say behind her back. This leads to her also confessing that she's in love with Brittany and Brittany does say that she loves her back but can't be with her because she also love Artie. If Brittany is lucky enough later down the road that Santana is still single, she said she would definitely be with her then, proudly so. Hey Brittany, I love ya girl but remember when you were the one that wanted to get the feelings out there? And then you did then..ouch.

The episode "Original Song" doesn't have too much interaction but there is a little. The Dirt Locker. Brittany tells Santana that she misses when they used to hang out and Santana gets testy with her because she stood her up for Stubbles McCripplepants and says that she's with Sam still. Brittany is a bit shocked and not impressed with this news and reminds Santana she she told her she was in love with her. Santana replies quickly saying that she didn't know what she was thinking, however cannot seem to focus on her locker combination while Brittany is staring at her. She also tells Brittany that she cannot wait to sing an awesome heterosexual song to Sam. And as well ALL know, she sings "Trouty Mouth" to him. Sam = Trouty Mouth, Brittany = Landslide. Ouch.

While "A Night of Neglect" had a serious lack of Brittana action, we did have one OUTSTANDING Santana moment. You can view this awesomeness here and can I just say that I'm still pumped to see Santana taking the side of Kurt and Blaine? And to find out that she has razor blades in her hair (fairy veil)...

So here we are now (finally!) to the "Born This Way" action! Woo! I feel like a lot of progress was made in this episode. The kids in New Directions are trying to learn self acceptance and are told that they will sing a group number that is Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" while wearing shirts that have words on them that say something about each one of them, something about themselves that they cannot change and that they were born with. During this scene, we get a look on Santana's face that says she knows what she should put on the shirt but she won't put it because she doesn't want people to talk about her. Cut to Santana swooning over Britt in the hallway, she decides that the key to getting Brittany could be to become Prom Queen. For that, she also needs a King, which is none other than Dave Karofsky. She tells him that she knows he's gay because she saw him checking out Sam's ass. She then goes on to tell him that they need each other to be each other's gay beards because they play on the same team. She does not however say that she's interested in winning Brittany's heart. Due to the issue of Santana blackmailing Dave with his gayness (nice move), the two team up and form an anti-bullying group called the "Bully Whips" and also tell the whole glee club that along this journey they have fallen in love. Brittany looks disappointed while most of the others look ill (understandable). Fast forward to right before the final number, Brittany and Santana are at their lockers (a.k.a the shirt locker) and Britt shows her her shirt (I'm with Stoopid *upwards arrow*) and Santana shows hers (Bitch). She claims that she was born a bitch because when she came out she told the nurse she was fat but Brittany made her a different shirt that says "Lebanese" on it. Santana reminds Brittany that she's Hispanic but then realizes that Britt meant for the shirt to say "lesbian".

Brittany goes on to tell her that it really meant a lot to her when she opened up to her about being love, she knew it hurt a lot for her to do that and she was proud that she did do it. Santana told her not toe get used to it and to certainly not tell anyone about it. Brittany is then confused as to why Santana doesn't want anyone to know because she thinks that sis the the "most awesomest" girl at that school and doesn't know why she would try to hide any of that. Santana replies that it doesn't matter because she is with Karofsky now, which Brittany tells her that it's gross (preach). Then Santana tells her that she doesn't get a say in who she dates anymore because she told her that she loved her and Brittany didn't say it back. Then Brittany replies with what could be one of my favorite lines ever, "I do love you. Clearly you don't love you as much as I do or you would put on this shirt and dance with me." Hey oh! Not exactly nice but I thought it was a step in the right direction. Brittany finally showed some serious feelings and I believed what she was saying. Due to the fact that most of her lines are goofy and she doesn't always know what is going on, I was confused on her feelings..this however gives me some major hope! Giving us more hope is Santana at the end of the episode, wearing the "Lebanese" shirt..but not dancing with Britt.

So now that is where we are in the Brittana relationship. It's getting pretty serious (for those who want a bit of a spoiler, you might want to check out this "Go Your Own Way" performance, Brittany's new internet show, and the performance of "Dreams"). I can't wait to see what happens this week and continue to talk about this relationship and what happens with it! All thoughts are welcome below so feel free to comment! :)

Have a great night and try not to lose it while waiting for the new "Rumours" episode tomorrow!

First Look at Rumours - Brittany Outs Santana

Warning: Spoilers for Rumours take place in the following post and video!

So apparently Brittany is starting her own talk show this week in the Rumours episode. We know Brittany and Santana tension has been at sky-rocket levels lately, but with a new sneak peak from Fox, tension might spark even more. Take a look:

Holy. Sweet. Hell. First of all, can we just say how much we love "Fondue for Two"... and really it should be fondue for three. Hahaha! Then, she just outs Santana, like it's no big deal. And she can confirm that rumor it's 100% true.

Oh gosh, can these sneak peaks get any better. Never have we been more excited for an episode of Glee. Can it be Tuesday yet?!

Happy 1 day left!

Go Your Own Way - Glee Sneak Peak

This video has potential spoilers in it, as it is a scene from the Rumours episode... Watch at your own risk!

Just as we thought this season couldn't get any better, I've never been more excited for an episode in my life. Here's a sneak peak of Rachel singing "Go Your Own Way" on next week's Rumours episode:

OK, Let's go over a few things real quick:

1) Finchel tension: It's good tension. Signs of Finn and Rachel getting back together? I think so... Or at least there's definite chemistry there. She's singing to him, he's smiling at her. I sense a break up and a get-together coming soon! Not to mention, look at Quinn's face. She is not havin' this interaction one bit!

2) Bartie tension: First thing I noticed in this scene was that Brittany and Artie weren't sitting together. Say whaaat?! Then look at those fierce exchanges that they give each other throughout the song. It looks like Artie "just can't be bothered".

3) Puck and Finn rockin' out is just way too adorable. I cannot wait for this scene!

Hope you enjoyed it, and tell us what you think!

Happy Gleeking, dudes.

Rumours Preview!

Sometimes, when I notice that the end of Glee is approaching, I get peeved and immediately start to curl up in a ball and cry and try to think of something that will make me happy again: next week's preview.



As seen from the preview and the title of the preview, this episode is a tribute to Fleetwood Mac, for the most part. Let's get down to business!

It appears as if Sue is up to something at the school..in a class room..with students..talking about how when news gets out in the school, that it's out forever. I've got my hunches..what do you guys think she's up to?

"What blonde former cheerleader is having a motel rendezvous with another big lipped blondie?" Uh oh Finn, could Quinn be sneakin' off to meet up with 'ol Trouty Mouth? Scandy! Will Quinn cheat with Sam? I say no!

Brittany..you're so dumb and hilarious I love it and also know that deep down, you aren't that stupid!

Finnchel! Finnchel! Finnchel stakeout! I cannot wait for this interaction and probably the hilarity that I can imagine happening with the conversation that goes down between those two in the truck on the stakeout! And as for the stakeout of Kurt and Sam at the hotel, come on. I know you Klaine shippers aren't going to take this lying down! I'm quite confident in saying that Kurt isn't cheating on Blaine because he's like obsessed with him. It's a bromance, yo.

April Rhodes? Yes please! I wonder if she's stopped drinking yet…

And back to Sue..David Bowie.

Outstanding. And while do not like Terri, there are some hilarious things that come out of her mouth so I look forward to that! That is all.

What did you guys think/gather from next week's preview? Hit us up below!

Wanna check out some more in-depth thoughts (spoilers) on the Rumours episode? Boom, here ya go!
