The best part of the episode for me was when Daniel, Layana, and Stanley couldn't even contain their shock that Patricia was in. I mean, they didn't even TRY to hide how surprised they were. They just half mumbled congratulations while clearly trying to figure out if they had just entered Bizarro world. And not 15…

I liked the idea of Michelle's outfit more than I liked the idea of Patricia's. I also think Michelle's top was very keen, but I was not a fan of the pegged pants.

I was expecting the judges to lay into Layana, but no. They loved it.

That game show part was like a Jaywalking sketch. I couldn't believe some of the things those kids didn't know. And I'm only about 10 years older than most of them, so I really hated them blaming their schools for their lack of knowledge.

Maybe I'm just dim or maybe I just didn't get it. Or both.

And more minorities in one scene of this show than I can ever remember seeing before. Except for maybe when Gloria went with Mitch and Cam to translate at the hospital before she found out she was pregnant. It was a good scene.

Not enough payoff with the older "Dunphy kids". Although casting Justine Bateman as the older equivalent of Haley was a little bit of inspiration. Can't believe I never thought about Haley being a modern Mallory Keaton before.
