Survival of the Hottest

          Survival of the Hottest

    Hello, streaming this episode got me put on a list.

           Despite that, I am devoted to the cause. This episode is about it being really hot in Hollywood so the group decides to go to the beach in Beck's RV. Cat runs out as they get there before a camper blocks the door of the RV, effectively sealing the rest of the group inside.

    The rest is exactly what you expect. Everyone complains about the heat while 5 dudes try to rail Cat. Dan really walks a fine line between making Cat a character who guys are constantly trying to hit on while also making her frequently mistaken for being mentally handicapped. 

   For the season 1 finale there's disappointingly little to say about this episode. None of the characters handle the situation differently from eachother, and there's no plan made to escape. This episode would have benefited from some plot to escape the RV in some way, but it never happens. The gang quickly accepts their fate and simply waits for Cat to walk in after the camper has left. 

  The Cat scenes should be the 'comic relief' of the episode (which is silly to have in a comedy show anyway) but they end up feeling too strongly like you're just watching a guy trying to get it in with a 15 year old. I wish instead the episode would have shown a series of different 'mini-adventures' that goes on in the B-plot; or that two people had initially left the RV and explore the beach on their own. It ultimately feels like we go back and forth between a group of people complaining about the heat and a drawn out porno intro.

  At least the ending is nicer than average. It's simple- but that's how endings to these shows should often be. The group simply finally goes to the beach. An end to their problem.

  This one gets an 8/10 from me.

   Thus ends Season 1.
