The new directions had a duet competition this week and the two winners would get gift cards to Breadsticks. The competition was rigged the winners should've been Kurt Hummel and Sam Evans. Or more likely the winner should've been Rachel Berry and Fin Hudson, but certain steps were taken to make sure this didn't happen. First Hudson tried to convince Sam Evans that he shouldn't sing with Kurt. I guess two gay men singing together is not acceptable at McKinley high school even in the Glee Club competition. When that didn't work, he convinced Kurt that it would be bad for Sam's reputation to sing with an openly gay boy. I would have thought that since Finn Hudson's mom and Kurt's dad have been dating, he'd be more accepting. I guess some people don't change. Then Rachel convinced Quinn that she should sing with Sam proving what a ridiculously silly deva she is. Even the daughter of two gay men isn't open-minded enough to do something that could ruin her precious Glee Club. Then Hudson and Berry sang an offensive song taking them out of the running. So now the contestants are Quinn Fabray and Sam Evans, Arnie Abrams and Noah Puckerman, Kurt Hummel and Mercedes Jones, Santana Lopez and Brittany S Pears, and Tina Cohen Chang and Mike Chang.
The day of the competition everyone in Glee Club was handed a piece of paper with everybody's name on it, and you were supposed to pick who you thought the winner was. I was just about to vote for Jones and Hummel when Rachel handed me a box of juju fruit candy with a note around it. It said to vote for vote Sam and Quinn and inside the box was a $10 bill. I took the bribes and there was no way I was not eating the candy. I voted as instructed, for Fabray and Evans. Who won? With six votes everyone else voted for themselves except Fin, Puck, and Rachel. I'm sorry Kurt, I guess even in Glee Club a gay boy still can't catch a break. Mercedes, I apologize to you too, both of you should have won a gift cards to Breadsticks. Instead Sam and Quinn did because I sold you out for candy.
Lauren was excited about turning in her first article. She had looked it over carefully before she turned it in. She was pretty sure Puck had been bribed too but she did not know with what. The next day she was surprised when Sue said she wanted to speak her about her article and said she couldn't publish the article as is. Lauren had thought she did a very good job on it.
Lauren asked: "Coach Sylvester, what is wrong with my article?"
Sue answered: "You didn't check your facts; Sam is not openly gay and I'm not going to publish something that says he is."
Lauren said: "Sam is gay. I am pretty sure he is, but I will change my article.''
After Lauren changed her article and handed it in, she saw Puck in the hallway and she asked him, "What did Finn and Rachel give you so that you voted for Quinn and Sam instead of Kurt and Mercedes?"
Puck Responded: "Why do you think I wanted to vote for Mercedes and Kurt instead of me and Artie".
Lauren said: "I know Arnie and you only got one vote. Artie voted for himself, I saw the results and I know how you voted. I saw the way you cheered for Kurt and Mercedes and the way you talked after they sang. After Quinn and Sam's performance you only somewhat supported them and almost politely applauded for them."
Puck said: "They gave me your phone number."
Lauren smiled and thought: "I guess I should give Rachel her $10 bucks back, but I am not going too and I'm definitely not giving back the candy after I have eaten it. I won't buy her another box either because I would eat that also."
