Well, everyone is studying for the S.A.T.'s and as usual....Josh is clueless. Mary Cherry (did you ever wonder why we always call her by first and last name?) is getting a team together to be on the show "Big Head Challenge". Carmen decides to take salsa lessons rather than study for the S.A.T.s.

    Well, everyone is studying for the S.A.T.'s and as usual....Josh is clueless. Mary Cherry (did you ever wonder why we always call her by first and last name?) is getting a team together to be on the show "Big Head Challenge". Carmen decides to take salsa lessons rather than study for the S.A.T.s.

    Josh thinks Lily thinks he is dumb, when she tells him she wants to study alone.
    Cherry Cherry joins the class so she can take the S.A.T's again to get a better score than she got the first time, cause she needs people to take her more seriously.
    Harrison talks Josh into taking the Big Head Challenge to prove to Lily that he is not dumb. We find out Josh knows a lot about chickens....I mean a lot! He makes the team (beating out Cherry Cherry).

    Carmen takes Salsa lessons w/ Pablo (Mario Lopez). She is a very bad dancer but seems to fall for Pablo, but he speaks no English. Carmen tells Lily how how cute he is and she likes him.Lily doesn't want her to get her hopes up.

    Now everyone is going to the game show but Lily doesn't want to watch, because she thinks Josh will make a fool of himself.

    Carmen goes to her next dance lesson and sees Pablo dancing with another girl and gets jealous. She has a hard time dancing with him when her turn comes, so she leaves and he doesn't understand. His mom explains to him that he has a lot to learn about girls.

    Back at the game:The team finds out they are going against a team Cherry Cherry put together.
    First up: Mary Cherry against Cherry Cherry. The category is "abusive mothers" and of course Cherry wins.

    Second up: Nicole. She loses her round.

    Third up: Brooke wins her round. Her category is "Brooke McQueen" (questions all about her) how convenient!

    Fourth up: Sam wins her round with the category "stars of the WB"

    Last up: Josh goes against the "smartest guy" (but who has to answer with a pen in his mouth hitting a computer screen). Now this is where it got pretty funny. Josh has to pick out of the category "string theory" or "poultry". You can tell by the look on his face he doesn't know what either one means. Harrison runs out of the back waiting room and yells out to Josh that poultry is chicken! Josh picks "Poultry" and answers all the questions correctly to win the game.Lily apologizes for not being there but says she loves him.

    Pablo comes to the school to see Carmen. He asks her out and of course she says yes!

    Did you see this one? Did you like it? Let me know by leaving a comment.
    Next week "You don't tug on Superman's cape"

    Thanks

  2. This is one of more funny episodes, the chicken knowledge of Josh, the whole mother/daughter Cherry thing. The categories, funny stuff! If you watched the bonus on this disc, Josh's actor said he didn't take the S.A.T.'s in real life because he was going straight to LA for acting. You know as a mom, I gotta tell you I would have argued over an education, what if he doesn't do good in Hollywood? Oh well the mom is me. Good episode over all.

    I agree...was pretty funny how the catagories suited the player.And as a mom also...would have agrued the schooling and acting bit, too.
