How you know she's doing it right: Rarity makes you want to wince and laugh simultaneously.

I really lost it at the countrified "funn-ay." [lol]

But even then, you'd think that once she realized he wasn't a jackass that she wouldn't still freak out. Although she does seem to have been a fan longer than in Blueblood's case.

Also, AJ can pull off fashion a lot better than Rarity can pull off country.

It's like Rarity developed Mokocchi Syndrome [lol]

Well with Blueblood she knew nothing about him and was mostly attracted to him because of status and some fairy tale romance. With Trenderhoof she'd actually read his articles and was more attracted to him personally rather than just being attracted to an idea, so I can see her reaction to him being a bit different.

Gotta wait on that, one, he's having his mind torn to pieces by the Dresden Files book he's on.

And I think it's in character for Rarity to be a bit anxious. she can't be posed and assured all the time, and since her last date didn't go so well, it's understandable why she'd be nervous. Plus she had time to build respect for the uy, creating anticipation.

What's more I'd like to see more adorkable Rarity, it's a side we rarely see. Normally she's either posed or completely losing it.

OK... Is anyone else bothered that this is the third episode in a row where the plot of the episode revolves around a male secondary character. I'm OK with Three's a Crowd, because Discord, and Pinkie Pride because Weird Al, but I just think it's annoying that they placed this episode right next to them. I'm hoping Filli Vanilli isn't a boy band.

I compare Rarity meeting Trenderhoof to RD meeting Daring Do: Both were meeting their idols, and both went into awestruck, tongue-tied, adorkable fangirl mode.

It's just an issue of the placement of the episode. I'm just annoyed this is the third in a row.

It didn't bother me. In fact, I didn't even notice until you brought it up.

@Beat. I think that's a little nitpicky.

I hadn't even noticed until you mentioned it. Given that the ratio is still like 80 to 90 percent focused on the female cast I'm not especially concerned.

I think the best part about Tabitha St. Germain in this episode is its hard to tell if she's doing a great job at Rarity doing a bad impression or a bad job at Rartiy doing a good impression. [lol]

Twi seems to engender loads of Foe Yay. Trixie, Shimmy, Chrysalis, Discord, all of them like to invade her personal space

And I think Trenderhoof is actually a nice enough snobbish guy, like fancypants, we just caught him at not one of his best times.

Yeah, I didn't even think of it either. I certainly don't see it as a problem, given that like 90% of the primary cast is female. If the guys were all universally portrayed as being strong and better and saving the cast from their issues it would be a problem, but Discord was an antagonist and Cheese and Trenderhoof were both pretty flawed.

Why would that be bad? The show could really use some male characters.

Haven't male secondary characters been just par for the course with this show?? We have Spike, Discord, Big Mac, Tenderhooves, Blueblood, Cheese, the Flim Flam Brothers, Shining Armor...

If Filli Vanilli is a boyband, they need to have a talk with their PR agent.

Not that I'd complain about an episode full of girlyboys, but I mean, come on. Poor guys.

Also, first huminization of Applejewel. It looks nice, but the patterned back makes me think of a beetle... or a ladybug, at least.
