Mash Off
Story wise, this was one of the better ones with regards to
Santana being "outed" by
Finn,
Pucks relationship with his teacher
Shelby, and the TV Ads that
Sue is using in her race against
Burt. Back to
Santana (Naya Rivera). I have always known
Naya to be the best actress of all the kids on
Glee and this episode justifies that claim. Her "apology" to
Finn which turns into a full blown insult would even make
Sue step back in shock..or
Glee. But it's her reaction to realizing that she's just been outed and subsequent slap across the face on
Finn that left me speechless. As great as these stories are, the episode is marred with two of the worst songs this series has ever produced. Their rendition of
Van Halen's own
Hot For Teacher was horrible. HORRIBLE! And bringing up the rear was the mash up of
Hit Me With Your Best Shot / One Way or Another by
Pat Benatar and
Blondie was just as bad.
It's a shame that these two renditions kind of overshadows an amazing one with the
Troubletones take on
Adele's song
Rumor Has It, which was awesome.
