Welcome back! Now onto #5 of Season 5. IQ.
Synopsis
Carly spies a "hot" guy at the Groovy Smoothie. She snags a date with him and quickly figures out that he is crazy smart. She tries to study up for her dates and attends an extremely LONG foreign film. She even learns some Mandarin. During a dinner date she cheats with her pear pods and notes on her arm and plate. But her date catches her and dumps her for being "dishonest".
SubPLOTS: There are three running subplots. #1 is T-Bo is kicked out of his apartment above the Groovy Smoothie. Freddie's mom meanwhile loses a chunk of money on chickens that won't mate. So to solve the problem Freddie and Sam dress up T-Bo and try to get Freddie's mom to rent T-Bo the guest room. They succeed! #2 Spencer gets an old safe from the junkyard and tries to crack it, then chainsaw it, then blow torch it and finally blows it up, to reveal another safe! #3 Sam becomes obsessed with Carly's big fork and carries it everywhere, until she finds an even BIGGER fork.
Awesomeness:
Carly is hilarious in this episode. I love when she gets ready for dates by wiggling herself all around and then flipping her hair. Her learning Mandarin was also very funny. Sam's fork issues were great! And Spencer's tries at opening the safe were as usual hilarious.
Downers:
Okay first of all, the guy was NOT HOT.
I did not think he was worth Carly getting all excited about. I found him SO irritating with his brainy talk. I also can't figure out if that was an English accent or just snob? I just did NOT like him, so thank goodness Carly was funny. Cause non-hot dude just ruined this episode for me. BUT to make you feel a little better, how about a picture of NATHAN..who IS HOT..with a PUPPY!!!
Second, Carly is NOT dumb. She is a smart kid, so I don't like that her character gets dumbed down. She also was dumbed down in an episode where she read Australia as Austria. What??? I like that both female characters are smart in their own way, you don't need to dumb them down.
So for dumbing Carly down and NOT having a hot guy play the "hot" guy I give this episode 2/5. Yes it was my least fave of the entire season. Except we will get to the next one which seriously ranks as one of my lowest too.
