I'm so glad Elmer didn't give up on trying to lose weight and I do like how he is running around at the end of the episode, in an apparent effort to continue his weight loss.

And of course so opposite of that brat Nancy.

The outstanding character of this episode, to me, besides Elmer, is Doc Baker! I think he's so sweet to be so encouraging to Elmer when Elmer lost 12 pounds. Again, this is nothing against the actors, just about the characters and the writers!Īnyway, I did tear up when Elmer read his essay about friendship, and I'm glad that most of the kids seemed to learn a lesson. It's like Cassandra was pushed to the forefront and Carrie has to take even more of a back seat than before. Cassandra and James are other characters that I do not really care for, but probably Cassandra even more than James because she seemed to take over a role that I think should have been reserved for Carrie. I also don't like how it seems that the writers wanted to re-create the Nellie-Laura feuding with Nancy and Cassandra. It seemed that Willie was growing up, but in this episode he seems to have taken a step back more towards immaturity. I also am disappointed in Willie somewhat in this episode, especially when Elmer comes to the Oleson's house to eat and Willie eggs him on to eat quickly. Can't she realize how harmful it is to him? She even kind of seems proud of him being overweight. I also don't like the way Elmer's mother pushes the younger son to eat and does not seem at all concerned about Elmer's weight. And if I had to hear hear yell 'ELLLLLLMERRRRR!' one more time, I might want to throw something at the TV! For some reason, it was fun watching Nellie be snotty and mean but, to me, it is just grating to watch Nancy be a mean, lying brat. I think the actress does a fine job, so it isn't about her. Maybe I should make a character thread about Nancy if there isn't one. Maybe this is not the place to discuss that. I really do not like that they wrote this character into the series as a Nellie wanna-be. This episode makes a good point at the end, but there's a lot I really don't like about it.

For the love of nancy
