I struggled with it a bit--the pageant was painful to me. And I agree that those girls were both annoying and distracting. It's been a long time since I cared so little about the actual A plot of an episode!

I do think there was a lot of interesting material in the episode though. I was a bit disappointed with the Clana--I've been so 'in' them, I wanted more from their reunion--hee! But it's ok: overall I still think the season's got a lot of potential--this was just perhaps not the strongest ep. ;)
