Gilmore Girls Elimination Game

I totally see why Concertus isn't an all-time favorite, but I have a weird soft spot for it :) They go way over the top with Luke's reaction to Lorelai wearing Rachel's clothes, but I adore the Paris/Rory parts beyond the telling of it, and I love how this is one of the sadly few S1 episodes where we see that Lorelai can be a kickass, surprisingly mature and responsible mom when she needs to be.

IJLRAB and and SGTDM (why must these titles be so long?!) are history, but we have a tiw for that final spot among these three: Concertus Interruptus, Will You Be My Lorelai Gilmore, and 21 is the Loneliest Number. Just vote for the one of those three that you most want eliminated! 

 

My tiebreaker vote: 21

Luke Can See Her Face

Written in the Stars

Will you be my Lorelai Gilmore

 

Agree above about the soft spot for Concert Interruptus.  My favorite scene was when Lorelai made a snack for Paris and her gang -- a plate of Pop Tarts fanned in a circle, into the center of which she then plopped a big Red Delicious apple. I was sorry we did not get to see their reaction to that snack.

Pushkin and Come Home (both of which I adore!) are history, but we have a five-way tie for that final spot among Ballrooms and Biscotti, Last Week Fights, Raincoats and Recipes, Women of Questionable Morals and Lazy Hazy Crazy Days. Just vote for the one of those five you most want eliminated!   

 

My tiebreaker vote: Last Week Fights

Sorry, lulu and Taryn, but I always try to end tiebreaker rounds after three votes (as long as the first three votes aren't for three different episodes!), so LWF is history. If it's any consolation, we're now down to voting against just two, so things should be a little less torturous! I'll miss Pushkin terribly, though this game has reminded me that I'm due for a rewatch of the handful of S5 episodes I really like!

 

My votes: One's Got Class ... and Raincoats and Recipes

Lazy Hazy Crazy Days (editorial note: nooooooo!!!!!) is gone, but we have a tie for that second spot between Red Light and Women of Questionable Morals. Just vote for the one of those two you most want eliminated and, as always, I'll end this after three votes.

Reluctantly, I'll vote against Red Light as well---I absolutely LOVE a few Red Light scenes beyond the telling of it, but some parts of the episode are decidedly meh for me. Meanwhile, I think WoQM is among the most underrated episodes of the series :) The next round is open:

 

Lorelai's First Day at Chilton
Rory's Birthday Parties
Double Date
Concertus Interruptus
Emily in Wonderland
Like Mother, Like Daughter
The Bracebridge Dinner
There's the Rub

My votes: Raincoats and Recipes and One's Got Class

Raincoats and BV are gone, and the next round is open! We're still voting against two.

I have a similar reaction to both 'First Day...' episodes :) They both have some annoying, repetitive, over the top, OMG-stop-we-GET-it contrivances that irk me when I rewatch, but yet I'm just so emotionally attached to these episodes anyway and have rewatched them a seriously ridiculous number of times!

We have a three-way tie for those two spots :) The (un)lucky candidates:One's Got Class,  Lorelais' First Day at Yale, and Women of Questionable Morals. Just vote for the two of those three you most want eliminated, and I'll end this after three voters!
