This episode starts with a few things happening. Cat has two gay uncles, Rex watches Fox News, and for some reason the senior class of this school has the ability to delete Robbie's theslap.com account because it's too boring. In this episode theslap is treated like some blog where students report things. God, can you imagine having a blog that just talks about inane nonsense no one cares about? I can't imagine how much you would have to hate yourself.
So this episode is basically one big B-plot. Robbie becomes the head of a club parodying TMZ where he makes fun of other students. It seems funny, but I've also never watched TMZ. He becomes cool in the eyes of the poorly dressed extras that occupy the school, but his friends resent him.
At one point a "Cool senior" says "Uh yeah it's popular.. it's trending" in a way that made me pause the episode and write it down here. Anyway, it feels about like an All That skit for a bit, so that's nice.

Robbie ends up just being a douchebag for no real reason. The group takes embarrassing photos of him and threatens to post them unless he deletes his TMZ account. Then they're just friends again.
Cat buys a bunch of stuff online.
Overall I think it's just an odd choice to have Robbie be the TMZ guy in this episode. It seems better suited as something that would be written around Jade or Cat, as Robbie comes off uncharacteristically narcissistic and short sighted throughout.
At the end Cat seduces Sinjin (the rapist) into buying her things.
Yeah that's it. 8/10.
