I felt this episode would've been a better first episode than Left In The Dark. It did a better job of giving viewers a good idea of what Lincoln and all ten of his sisters are like. The story involves Lincoln getting his project out the door without damaging it, while of course dealing with his sister's needs along the way. Seeing Lincoln overcome every obstacle his sisters throw at him is just so awesome, and really livens up the simplistic plot. Towards the end, despite all his best efforts, Lincoln screws up and his diorama gets destroyed. It's what follows that really proves that despite all the chaos, the Loud sisters prove that they really do care for one another, by helping Lincoln pull off his project and get a good grade. My only real complaint was Lori. She was even brattier than Lola, and she was kind of a hypocrite when she complained about Lincoln having a pity party when SHE herself had one earlier. But despite that, the episode is still amaze-balls. It did a good job of highlighting each sibling's unique personalities and so much emphasis is put on the idea of the show. It's impossible not to recommend it. 8/10
5B: In Tent's Debate
Making decisions is hard for ANYONE. Especially for Lincoln, who gets caught up in a decision to either go to Aloha Beach or Dairy Land for the Loud's annual vacation. Half the sisters choose the beach, while the other half chooses Dairy Land, and Lincoln is the sole vote. The rest of the cartoon involves each team doing nice things for Lincoln to get him to vote for their respective location. It's all in good fun but things start to go downhill when the teams start sabotaging the other, and it's just isn't amusing. At the end, the two teams go to war, and when Lincoln appears, the sisters berate him for not making up his mind sooner. And I say, good! He deserves it! This suits the story just fine but even though Lincoln WAS in the wrong for taking advantage of his sisters, EVERYONE is to blame for all the pain and frustration. In the end, the family DOES finish up at that crappy campground mentioned earlier in the show, but Lincoln caters to his sisters every need to make up for what happened throughout the cartoon. I wouldn't have a problem with this if it wasn't for the fact that the sisters have no sympathy for the pain they're causing him. And they go unpunished despite ALL of them being in the wrong, too, not just Lincoln. In conclusion, this is just a really bland episode with an awful payoff. I'd personally tend to skip this one. 3/10
