Post All Or Nothing.

Tonight's episode is All Or Nothing. This episode is one of the worst of it's season, because Boots is so annoying in this one that it turns you off of the episode. The plot is pretty stupid to, with Jo trying to stop the school from buying a scoreboard. What are your thoughts on this episode?

It's OK. Not really good, but not really bad either. I will get a kick out of a student controlling the Board of Trustees though. The administration at my college listens to the students and then does what they were going to do anyway. Maybe they should see this episode.....

I actually like this one quite a bit. I think that it shows some interesting sides of Jo and what happens when power goes to your head. Unrealistic? Yes, but that can be said of 99% of the episodes.

Word, lesliem14. No matter what Student Government wants you to believe, colleges are not a democracy, especially prestigious private ones, as Langley is depicted as being. Positions like the one Jo has are really resume builders with no real power.

Yea coily I know! My college is really similar to the way Langley is portrayed and I lost all respect for the administration in my first year that they actually cared about the students that were on campus and not sucking up to incoming students so they would come and alumni so they would donate money. They've made me so mad that I will not give money to the general fund, but to crew and my majors. They're promising ethernet for next year and the only reason I have my hopes up is my dorm in part of freshmen housing and they aren't going to want to disillusion the freshmen just yet!

I like this one because of Jo. And I loved the Army uniform, as you know
I think she was being illogical,though and that annoyed me but I liked It anyway.

I just wanted to say that I forgot just how funny Boots was in this episode. At the end, when she was so bored at the meeting and that lady had to raise her hand to vote!!! PRICELESS! I'm sorry to say that I think that this is our final Boots episode this run I hope I'm wrong.
