    ONE OF THE BETTER EPISODES

    I greatly enjoyed this episode. It was educational in showing what people without money must do in order to achieve their goals. It was interesting to see Blair acting in such a judgmental manner, but it was much more fascinating to see Jo acting in an even more judgmental manner than Blair. Jo's judgmental attitude was surprising because I thought that Jo would be sympathetic to a person without money, as Jo sometimes talks about coming from a poor Bronx family.
