User blog comment:JERealize/Progress Bar: Issue 057 (TDPI Episode 7 Review)/@comment-3350823-20140909031953

Now for number two on progress bar! I did enjoy the animal joke at the start, though I'm dissapointed they didn't attack Chris.

I didn't even remember the leg tying was a reference to Hunger Games :p And seriously Max, don't talk espeically towards Queen Jasmine!

And I see what you did there with the Dave the Barbian clip! I loved that show SO much. It was ended way too early :( (Also, Max would be fifty times the better character if he was more like Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy).

And Sugar shows she's again more ruthless and smarter than given credit for. Also, you don't like Phineas and Ferb anymore? Why not? (Though I admit, I haven't seen it recently, but recent quality seemed to be low).

And yeah, that Storm analogy is even more accurate of Jasmine. What's with Total Drama giving so many people clastruphobia? (not going to attempt to spell that :p)

And Beardo reference <3 And the bat line did crack me up. And Scarlett and Max practically married...don't know what their teams see :p And sadly the crocodile didn't eat max, though it was mechancial. And yeah that's pretty messed up for Scarlett...but I find black humor funny so I enjoyed it (well not all black humor; sometimes in this show it goes into just violent to be violent territories).

I also enjoyed the Steven Universe and Regular Show references. And...a WTH reference :3 I'm too flattered now. And yeah, Max bounces from annoying to funny for me.

I do admit, it killed me when Chris split up Scarlett and Max like that. Overall, the episode did feeling lacking to me and with the teams merging soon (most likely) an episode dedicated to a short lived team swap is nothing but pointless filler. We could have used this filler for extra contestants or maybe that Amy-Samey plot that needs more development?

The review was nice, but not to memorable but I blame the episode. Like you said it was all over the place, and the review wasn't bad (it was good) it wasn't as good as others in comparison.

Stil, I'm caught up and I'm enjoying the reviews JER! Can't wait to see what you think of future episodes ;)
