Gilmore Girls Elimination Game

And our favorite Rory/Guys moment is:

Rory can't get the sprinklers to turn off and Dean isn't answering his pager.  Jess helps her out but then turns them back on when Dean finally answers.  

Not at all what I would have predicted but I love it!

 

Be thinking about what you want to do next!  Here are some ideas I jotted down from before, as well as some I've thought of since -

Kirk scenes

Lorelai/Emily scenes

Lorelai/Richard scenes

Favorite couples

Phone scenes (one or more characters are on the phone, or listening to a message)

Drunk/drinking scenes (either drunk/drinking during the scene, or telling a story about being drunk)

Favorite teasers/episode finales

One-liners (just funny/snarky one-liners that aren't necessarily in a memorable scene)

LEAST favorite episode elimination - end up with the most hated ep as the "winner"

I think it would be fun too!  Let's start listing!

 

Phone call scenes - either a character is on the phone, is listening to a message, or is describing a phone conversation.

1.  Henry tries to call Lane but Mrs. Kim answers instead.  "I asked for you and then she asked why, and I said because and she said because why, and I got nervous and tried to sell her a subscription to the Wall Street Journal."  (A'Tisket A'Tasket)

2.  Emily calls Rory to find out her favorites to decorate a spare bedroom with.  "What about that other group? The Backside Boys?"  (Emily in Wonderland)

3.  Lorelai calls Luke after their interrupted first kiss.  He hides in the storeroom to talk, she hides in a closet.  "We kissed. ..... You and me, we kissed?"  Pau Pau chews on Taylor's shoe.  (SGTDM)

4.  Rory finally checks in after coming back from Florida early during Spring Break.  "We sat on the beach, went to a club, we watched 'The Power of Myth', Paris and I kissed..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa. You watched 'The Power of Myth'?  I hid that from you!"  (GIB, BDTT)

5.  Lorelai accidentally admits to Emily she went to Cinnamon's wake after missing Cousin Claudia's funeral.  "Hold on. I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one."  (Cinnamon's Wake)

He's my guy, not Young Chui. Young Chui's a ship in the night, Mama. Not even a ship, he's a little tugboat tooting along and I'm not gonna go to the prom with him, unh uh.

Maybe off the grid for the holiday weekend?

Good point!  We're so busy here this weekend that it feels like business as usual, ha.  It didn't even dawn on me until Thursday that hubby doesn't have to work Monday.  Geesh.

2.  Emily calls Rory to find out her favorites to decorate a spare bedroom with.  "What about that other group? The Backside Boys?"  (Emily in Wonderland)

3.  Lorelai calls Luke after their interrupted first kiss.  He hides in the storeroom to talk, she hides in a closet.  "We kissed. ..... You and me, we kissed?"  Pau Pau chews on Taylor's shoe.  (SGTDM)

4.  Rory finally checks in after coming back from Florida early during Spring Break.  "We sat on the beach, went to a club, we watched 'The Power of Myth', Paris and I kissed..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa. You watched 'The Power of Myth'?  I hid that from you!"  (GIB, BDTT)

5.  Lorelai accidentally admits to Emily she went to Cinnamon's wake after missing Cousin Claudia's funeral.  "Hold on. I'm looking up aneurysm in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one."  (Cinnamon's Wake)

9.  Luke has to go help Liz & TJ at the Renn Faire and leaves Lorelai a ton of messages on her answering machine.  "Oh, no, did you leave a message? Sorry, my answering machine dropped dead of exhaustion."  (SGTDM)

11.  Emily comes to the diner to yell at Luke when she thinks he and Lorelai haven't gotten back together.  He speed dials Lorelai.  "Hello?"  "Just because you run a diner and have mastered the art of the blank stare does not mean it’s going to work with me!"  (Pulp Friction)

13.  Rory calls Jess after their picnic basket date.  He's glad she called, since now she can explain to him what the hell Ayn Rand is talking about in The Fountainhead.  "Commit to it one more time and if it still is awful for you, I will make it up to you."  (A'Tisket A'Tasket)

14.  Sookie calls Jackson to ask him out on a date and nervously babbles a message.  "The carrots still look good. It seems like it’s almost a shame to eat them, sort of like you should put them in a vase or -" "Sookie, hang up."  (Double Date)

19.  Jess calls Rory from California but won't talk, so she does.  "I'm not going to pine. I hope you didn't think I was going to pine, okay? I think. . .I think I may have loved you, but I just need to let it go."  (TASP)

20.  Emily calls to invite Lorelai to the Society Matron's League's annual antique auction.  Lorelai tries to backpedal after calling Emily's friends old and wonders what kind of pieces they'll be offering.  "Basically a lot canes and shawls, a couple of walkers. I believe we finally talked Old Lady Rollins into giving up her teeth."  (Oasis)

23.  Lane calls Dave over and over and hangs up after he answers.  It doesn't sound like he's hanging out with another girl, barring a major Who fan, since Quadrophenia is playing in the background.  "I'm gonna love him forever and he's never gonna know it."  "He would if you coughed."  (TSGDT?)

24.  Luke calls Lorelai for help while golfing with Richard.  He's a little tipsy.  He has franchised the diner, bought golf clubs which cost the same as a car, and something is getting shaved.  "You stay away from the Diebenkorn guy."  (YJIJJ)

26.  Rory calls the diner looking for Lorelai, who hasn't responded to the 21st birthday invitation yet. "I've never heard her say hell. I didn't even know she knew how to say hell. She was mad and she yelled and she said hell."  (21)

27.  Someone calls to make the first reservation at the Dragonfly Inn.  Lorelai has to take his information down on a gum wrapper.  Sookie is excited.  Michel is displeased.  "It's embarrassing. This is an historical document."  (TISL)

31.  Luke calls Lorelai to tell her he's coming home from the Renn Faire.  She doesn't believe him.   "Oh, what's that, Lucy? A football for me to kick?"  (AMNM)

32.  Lorelai calls Mrs. Kim when Lane sneaks out to play at CBGB's and she is too scared to go home.  "Well, she went out tonight, and I think she was just scared to tell you about it, but she is fine. She's with Rory at Yale and they're safe and they promise to stay put."  (ITCATC)

33.  Lane drunk calls Mrs. Kim from Kyle's party.  "Nothing's wrong. In fact, I'm feeling pretty good right now. Had a beer and a half, nice cold beer. And I just thought I'd tell you, I'm drumming in a band tonight at a party and we rocked. We were The Clash and Rage Against the Machine and Nirvana combined. And I'm in love with Dave Rygalski. He's my guy, not Young Chui. Young Chui's a ship in the night, Mama. Not even a ship, he's a little tugboat tooting along and I'm not gonna go to the prom with him, unh uh. I'm going with Dave, because we rock together, Mama. The charade is over."  (Keg! Max!)

34.  Lorelai comes in from a date and hears a message from Luke on her machine.  "I'm sorry to be calling you like this, but I was wondering if, when you get this message, you could come pick me up 'cause I need a ride. I'm in Litchfield, the corner of Mason and Pine. It's a big, white building. You'll recognize it by the police sign outside because, oh, hell, I'm in jail."  (GIB, BDTT)

35.  Paris uses Lane as an excuse not to hang out with Jamie.  "Well, I'm dead tired, I have tons of studying to do and we have a little drama going on here at the suite. Rory's small town friend, Lane, is crashing in with us. She got kicked out of her house, and she's in pretty bad shape. She's pretty heavy into the drugs, totally Nancy Spungening it, chasing the dragon, and I kind of have to be here for support. The chick's bouncing off the walls."  (AFM)

36.  Paris calls Rory to let her know Asher Fleming died.  "No, Rory. This great man was not brought down by my vagina."  (WitS)

37.  Richard is setting up his new office.  Lorelai helps him learn how to use the phone.  "Do you wanna get that?" "No, no, they’ve already hung up."  (Help Wanted)

39.  Sookie calls to tell Lorelai how Jackson took the pregnancy news.  "Well, I came home and I got some flowers and I chilled some glasses and I put some music on and I opened a bottle of champagne, and the cork broke the window so I had to clean up the glass, and then I taped some cardboard over the hole, and then I knocked over the bottle of champagne, so I had to get out the mop." "My finger’s hitting the fast forward button, hon."  (The Big One)

40.  Lorelai catches Jason on the phone with Emily.  "Are you doing like a Mrs. Robinson thing with my mother?" "Yes. I was visiting Richard one day, and he stepped out and Emily lit a cigarette and did that triangle thing with her thigh."  (AFM)
