iSaw Him First Review

iSaw Him First  #1 of Season 2 to air on YTV
Originally Aired: Sept 27, 2008 (1st), Filmed 4th (204)

Synopsis:  Carly and Sam both fall in love with Freddie's "nerd" friend Shane.  They decide to both date him but that goes wrong as they start getting angry with each other.  They make a bet that who ever Shane kisses first can date him, which sends them all on crazy stunts to get Shane to kiss them, including when Freddie helps Sam so he can have Carly to himself.  In the end Shane doesn't like their fighting over him and falls down the elevator shaft.  He ends up in the hospital where Carly kisses him and declares herself the winner.

Fun Facts:  
Although this episode aired first it was filmed after the 3 parter iGo to Japan.
Freddie's lower voice is immediately picked up on by Sam who asks him why and he says "I don't know..puberty".  However, in iGo to Japan no one seems to point out his voice is lower.  This could be because they KNEW they would air the Japan one after this episode.
Nathan Kress no longer requires the platform shoes he wore in season one, as he is now tall enough to match his co-stars and his voice has officially changed.
Carly wears another bikini in this episode which brings us to 3, whereas Sam has never worn a bikini.  It can be said with certainty that Jennette McCurdy's (Sam) growing chest line was hidden throughout the seasons by the wardrobe department until the last few seasons.
Shane is played by an actor who now appears on Nick's Big Time Rush.
This is the second thing to be shoved up noses, first Germy had nose plugs and now blueberries.
This is the first time Sam is seen playing her trombone, she took lessons according to iHatch Chicks.
Sam comments that she enjoys lips to lips and talks about kissing like she knows something, but in iKiss we find out she hasn't ever kissed anyone.
It's my opinion that based on frame by frame that Sam actually did see him first.
Two more idiot adults appear in this episode, the elevator guy and the doctor.
The elevator guy is NOT a dancer.  None of the moves he does are actual dance moves.
The kissing booth section is in the blooper reel.
Not many people are lined up for Sam's kissing booth.  Either she sprayed them all, or she scares them.
The shock pads would not do a good job on Sam without the gel you need to rub on them to conduct the current.
Shane and Carly and reading the exact same History text books used in iHave a Love Sick Teacher.
The hospital is named after Dan Schneider.
Apparently Shane has no parents, as THEY would be by his bedside and possibly sue the elevator guy for not having proper gates up.
The song played in the end credits is called Stay My Baby and is sung by Miranda Cosgrove.

Spencer Side Count:  Gets stuck in the elevator and then talks to the repair guy.  Makes toast using a mirror and tinfoil.

Penny Tee Count:  Electric Ham - worn by Freddie and a mystery shirt worn by Freddie in the end credits, but the writing is yellow and hard to read.

Review:  Too much webisode!  Not enough Freddie.  Yup, this doesn't usually lead to the best review from me.  However, we start to see Carly's inept flirting style which I so love.  I love her play "A Chance for Romance".  "Oh Bruno, thanks, you rock for saying that."  I also really enjoy Sam and Carly's back and forth jealous fights.  I don't like the elevator parts, kind of annoying.

Total Score: 3/5
