** Applejack wants to make money at the event to support her family, and probably puts a lot of effort into baking all her appletastic treats, only to not make a single bit because she didn't realize the rich upper-class ponies at the Gala would be so snobby that they didn't want her food.

** Rarity when you think about it. The others messed up, sure, but after spending the entire season looking forwards and envisioning Blueblood as her PrinceCharming, he treats her like crap and she puts up with it the entire night in hopes he will turn out to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold or that she can change him for the better. While Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Fluttershy were at least partly responsible for their own problems, Rarity did absolutely ''nothing'' wrong (except for her [[ThinksLikeARomanceNovel unrealistic expectation]] of Blueblood) and still ended up getting treated like crap. It is rather hard not to feel sorry for her, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome or cheer for her when she eventually has enough,]] [[TakeAThirdOption or both.]]

** It is hard not to feel sorry for Twilight Sparkle, as well. Twilight Sparkle may not have anticipated Celestia being too busy, but she stayed right by Celestia's side and behaved herself like a good faithful student, standing there for two hours while Celestia had to greet each guest. Like Rarity, she did absolutely nothing wrong but got her evening messed up. At least she got what she wanted in the end, to spend time with the Princess.

* IdiotBall: Appears to be held by Fluttershy in this episode; she of all ponies would understand that the animals would need time to get used to somepony they've never seen before, not just because of knowledge towards animals, but also due to her own shyness. Even if she was excited to see them, at worst she would have likely messed up the first time, and then realized the above. Despite leading to one of her most famous moments of (at least) Season 1, her whole storyline seems to exist due to RuleOfFunny and little to nothing else.
