This week on Glee (Season 3, Episode 6), New Directions and the Troubletones compete to see who is the best glee club. Read Kidzworld’s recap of “Mash Off”, which aired November 15, 2011, to find out what happened!
Hot Teacher
Puck’s obsession with Shelby continues and he truly believes they can have a real relationship, even if it might be a bit tricky since she is his teacher. Puck makes a list of the reasons why they should be together. Number 1: She is hot. Number 2: He is hot. Number 3: Beth needs a dad. Obviously, Shelby isn’t convinced.
Team Rivalry
Now that the school musical is officially out of the way, McKinley High students can start focusing on the rivalry between their two glee clubs: New Directions and the Troubletones. Mr. Schu and Shelby don’t want things to get out of hand though, so they suggest a friendly competition – a mash off.
As the mash off approaches, tensions between both groups grow. Santana and Finn seem to be the ringleaders for their clubs. They throw insults at each other, but Finn takes it too far when he calls Santana out for be a closeted lesbian. She takes out all of her pain during the Troubletone’s mash-up of Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’ and ‘Rumor Has It’.
Campaigning
Competition is full blast outside of the singing world too. Sue Sylvester and Kurt’s dad Burt are going head to head to campaign for a spot in congress. Elsewhere, Rachel, Kurt and Brittany are all fighting for the chance to be class president. In the end, Rachel withdraws from the race and throws her support behind her buddy Kurt.
