Glee and Gaga

I recently arrived in Charleston, SC to be an arts intern at the Post and Courier covering the Spoleto USA Festival for the next three weeks. While I am discovering new places to eat, shop and tan, I am also discovering the scarcity of televisions in the residence hall we are staying in. My friends and I ran into our first floor lounge this evening, raring to watch "Glee," only to be shut down by some older ladies settling in - they had peanut butter on the table! - to watch the finale of "Dancing with the Stars." We proceeded to take the elevator to each floor, run around that floor and find it has no TV, until we reached the fourth floor. There, we met some other friendly Gleeks.

The episode itself was a mish-mash of hot and cold. Here's my breakdown:

Best song of the show: Idina Menzel singing "Funny Girl"
Worst song of the show: Menzel and Lea Michele singing "Poker Face" - talk about ruining an emotional moment!

Best line of the night: Brittany, "You look terrible. I look awesome."
Worst line of the night: Umm the whole last five minutes. Does there have to be a lesson in every episode?

Best character connection: Burt and Kurt Hummel when Burt comes to his son's rescue from Finn's homophopia
Worst character connection: Tina. Her vampire was ridiculous.

Runner-ups: Mark Salling singing "Beth" was cute and poignant - yeah, Quinn, let him be in the delivery room! Lea Michele's stuffed-dress (just hilarious. I think I can make one of those).
