iAm Your Biggest Fan Review

iAm Your Biggest Fan Episode #12 on YTV
Originally Aired:  January 19,  2008 (13th), Filmed 10th (110)

Synopsis:  iCarly super fan Mandy writes to iCarly and gets to come watch an episode.  Unfortunately, she doesn't leave and even transfers to Ridgeway.  Meanwhile Spencer auditions for a band and gets them booked on Seattle Beat.  They proceed to steal his drums and dump him from the band.  When they watch the band on Seattle Beat they find out that Mandy has become obsessed with the band instead of iCarly solving their problem!

Fun Facts:  
Mention of Spencer making Carly a lava lamp for her birthday that burst into flames.  First mention of Spencer lighting stuff on fire.
Spencer has an account at the junkyard.
New segment of iCarly called twister vision.
The issue with the car seats always bugged me, because this was played WAY after it was filmed, you see the car seats in 4-5 episodes before they are made.  Major continuity issue.
Mandy appears for the first time.  She shows up in one more episode.  Played by Aria Wallace.
The smoothie place is referred to as the Groovy Smoothie, which it wasn't before.
Mandy is from Tacoma which isn't too far from Seattle.
First mention of the cartoon Girly Cow which has at least 4 seasons.
Mandy admits she got back in the apartment through a window.  Which is interesting considering they live on the 8th floor with access to the 9th and 10th.  That's high up to climb.
When Mandy transfers to Ridgeway, we don't see her again after this episode.  We can assume she either stayed at Ridgeway but left them alone or went back to Tacoma.
The band that Spencer auditions for is also seen in an episode of Victorious.
Fladoodles are mentioned again, Carly says she made them up but Mandy finds them in a Nordic store.
The song that band sings "Baby will you take me back" is heard and sung in several iCarly episodes, in particular Spencer sings it while rollerblading in iBattle Chip, and sings it in the RV shower in iLost my head in Vegas.
Seattle Beat also makes a comeback by booking the band.
Mandy has an obsession with duck masks and quacking which she does in both episodes she appears in.
Messin with Lewbert skit #2 is announced but you don't see it because Mandy quacks.
The Spit Take is shown.
I don't think the name of the band is every said.
Dan Schneider can be heard saying "Somebody call the cops".
Most songs used in iCarly are written specifically for the episodes by the music writers employed.  For instance, I have tried to get the song from iGet Pranky but you can't buy it because it was written for the show.

Spencer Side Count:  Makes the seats for the car in the iCarly studio.  AND the lights light on FIRE!  First fire recorded on iCarly.  Gets a drum set at the junkyard so he can audition for a band.  The cymbal on the drum set lights on fire (2 fires).

Penny Tee Count:  NONE

Review:  One of my faves!  I like episode where the two plot lines wind up together.  Wrapping up Mandy with the band was perfect.  Aria Wallace is amazing as Mandy, she is a wonderful little actress! Funnily she is very pretty and looks nothing like the geek that Mandy is.  This episode has great bonding between all three leads with no Sam and Freddie arguing because they are all in the same position of dealing with Mandy!  Besides the seat for the car issue that I have, this is a great episode.  And that song sticks in your head.

Total Score: 5/5
