Glee: Bad Reputation Review

Glee hit a bit of a rough patch last week, but now it's right back on track with Bad Reputation. When a video of Sue Sylvester singing and dancing to Physical by Olivia Newton John hits the internet, she acts out in rage by discovering a list ranking the Glee kids in sexuality. Shockingly, it was made by one of the members of New Directions, and Will is on the hunt for who did it. The big twist: whoever posted it will be expelled, and if Will fails to find someone, Glee club is over.

In other news, Kurt and the gang try to save their reputations by doing something scandalous to shoot them up the ranks in the Glist. Meanwhile Rachel makes a video emphasizing her promiscuity that ruins her relationships with all the men in her life. And probably the most devastating, Emma discovers Will has had things with Idina Menzel (I don't really care about the characters actual name), and April Rhodes, and develops a somewhat icier personality.

It was devastating to watch these characters go through such trials. For the first time Jesse didn't seem like a cold-blooded traitor, and actually felt like just another Glee kid. Will and Emma's relationship has been thrown into uncertainty, and that's really unsettling, but Will really did dig this whole for himself. We saw a more human side to Sue Sylvester, which was nice, but she really needs to earn back her reputation as evil incarnate.

Schuester's investigation was pretty funny, and the reveal of the culprit was predictable, but still emotional. Everything turned out fine for that one character, but everyone else is in pieces. I look forward to the progression of the relationships over the course of the season.

8.8 out of 10
