IWas a Pageant Girl

Plot
Sam admits to her friends that she's a former child beauty-pageant contestant, and she pushes Carly into competing against her old rival, LeAnne Carter. When Sam knows she can go in the pageant, she steals Carly's dress, and in the process her bra was filmed. She does good at first with a speech about "Ending World hunger for the children". Next is the talent audition, and Sam finds her old dancing coach, Ernie. She does a 1940's-style dance routine with Ernie, and Sam wins. Meanwhile, Spencer and Freddie double-date and change their plans playing a game called "What Am I?" instead of going rock-climbing.

"Hobo" Running Gag
There are two references to hobos in the episode. There is a running gag in the show referencing hobos:
 * Sam's dancing teacher Ernie is dressed as a hobo in a talent audition for a Late Night Train wait with dancing.
 * At the end, Freddie puts on a new guessing card and the card's word is hobo.
