Honestly, I think that this was one of the worst episodes yet. To start with, the 1D boys, as good as they are at singing, cannot act to save their lives. In paticular, as someone mentioned earlier, the lines about the butter sock were extremely painful. The acting from them was at a low standard unheard of from Nickelodeon the whole time. But, I guess Dan DID specifically say he was taking a risk hiring them. This risk just blew up in his face big time.

Also, I'm getting tired of seeing T-Bo in every episode. As much as Dan may like his character, I'm sure I speak for at least a few people when I say that I'm getting tired of seeing him appear in every episode to deliver one line and then leave.

Spencer's subplot just wasn't entertaining at all. Spencer's attempts at getting the girl in a strange way are usually very funny, but this plot just didn't seem to go anywhere. First Spencer is pretending to be an exercise teacher or something, then he's giving a girl a makeover, then the subplot just isn't resolved at all? Making a joke out of the lack of a resolution (and, arguably, lack of creativity) isn't enough to satisfy some people. Plus, we never even saw the girl Spencer wanted to date after she disappeared after the first scene of the subplot. All around, this subplot was completely meaningless and could have been cut out to strengthen the main plot that just went WAAAY too fast.

The only thing I really liked about this episode was that Gibby was actually relevant to the episode for once. Since he got promoted to a main character, his irrelevance has just been ridiculous. This is one of the many reasons iCarly is going downhill. EVERY episode is just about Carly, Sam and Freddie, Spencer always has an annoying subplot that seems to have no purpose other than giving him something to do, Gibby just pops in and out to say "GIBBEH!" which the laugh track cheers at for some reason and T-Bo just lingers around the entire episode.

I hate to be so negative, but this episode was proof that iCarly is entering the 'dying animal begging to be put out of it's misery' phase that all TV shows eventually reach. As much as I love(d) this show, I sincerely hope that this is the last season because the quality is hitting alarmingly low points. People are all saying that iCarly deserved to win 'Favourite TV Show' at the KCAs, but honestly, I think Victorious deserved it more at this point. Season 3 of Victorious has thoroughly entertained me with almost EVERY episode so far, and iCarly doesn't entertain me much at all anymore.
