- Jossed hard by "Mattress".
- Jossed by Dream On.
- In addition this being Jossed, how was Rachel's line too dumb to live? She said she didn't know which one of her dads was her biological father because they used a surrogate who was artificially inseminated by both of them. They did it deliberately so no one *would* know.
- Yes, but that line in the voiceover coincided with the view of the pictures of her dads to make it into visual humor: one of her fathers is African-American, while the other is white. It should thus be pretty obvious which is her biological father.
- Retconned. Although the joke's intention at the time was obviously to convey that Rachel is a bit delusional, when her fathers were finally cast for real the African-American one was played by Brian Stokes Mitchell, who is multiracial and could very credibly be Rachel's actual biodad after all.
- The joke never made sense in the first place. It's entirely possible to have fraternal twins with the same two parents but different racial phenotypes, so either of the photo-dads could have been Rachel's biological father.
- In addition this being Jossed, how was Rachel's line too dumb to live? She said she didn't know which one of her dads was her biological father because they used a surrogate who was artificially inseminated by both of them. They did it deliberately so no one *would* know.
- This would set up a very interesting arc of the second-half of the season where the glee club breaks up and they spend the rest of it Putting the Band Back Together
- How exact these competitons work? They have to perform multiple songs because there is multiple categories? If so, they could lose most categories, but win a few others, they would still be in the competition, but with less chances of winning anything.
- Jossed.
- It was bad enough that Emma decided to help the Glee Club only because of Will, but now that (it looks like) Emma and Will finally hook up, it sounds likely that Ken is going to try to destroy the Glee Club to get revenge on Will, probably with the influence of Sue and the help of the Jerk Jocks (Is not like they need influence anyway). Rule of Drama people!
- Looks like this might get jossed. From what we saw in Hell-O he simply became a depressed drunken mess... which is a lot more saddening than him becoming angry and villainous.
- Fully Jossed as of Bad Reputation, he's depressed and a little upset with Will, but still seems to consider him a friend and even offers him some pretty decent advice.
- he did speak ONCE, but was responding to being hit.
- Wouldn't that have been convenient to bring up during Hairography?
- In "Theatricality" he finally gets a line... only to have his face obscured by KISS makeup.
- Jossed in just about every way possible. Shelby is still Rachel's mom, and the episode was directed by self-proclaimed Gleek, Joss Whedon.
- No. Terri and Will haven't had sex since "Acafellas," after which Terri started wearing the fake belly and couldn't have sex with Will because he could find it. There's no possibility that she could've conceived again.
- Possibly un-Jossed as of "The Substitute"
- Re-Jossed in Funeral.
- Possibly un-Jossed as of "The Substitute"
- Damn it, this is going to happen too, I bet. Although that wouldn't explain if Puck wanted to attend the birth at all.
- Hate to say it, but it's totally Jossed as of "Funk."
- But the actress who plays Tina auditioned when she had Tourette's; she says it got better.
- Also, people who are involved in the performing arts and have Tourette's often find their tics temporarily stop when they're acting, singing, etc. because of the concentration involved. So she probably wouldn't have ticked onstage.
- Jossed in Bad Reputation, pretty much. it doesn't look like Rachel is going to lose her virginity to anyone any time soon, after that stunt with the "Run Joey Run" video
- They could go a couple of Elevator ways. Quinn has to miss Regionals to give birth resulting in the group singing a song just for Quinn interspersed with shots fo Quinn giving birth. Or Quinn could sing with them... and before they can hear the results, they all rush her to the hospital where they hear the results/Quinn gives birth. Or, for that extra special wham, she ends up giving birth -during- the performance (ie it gets interrupted not that she sings while giving birth...)
- Or for pure Narm, they use the sound of the new born baby crying in a song. Or use the baby herself in the song in a Lion King/Circle Of Life narmy way.
- Partially Jossed: Quinn sings with New Directions, but her water breaks straight afterwards. They hear the results after she gives birth. No elevators were involved.
- Speaking as a Muslim troper who co-directed the Muslim Students Association in high school, our policy was to let anyone in. One of our most faithful and honorary members was a Christian boy, as he contributed more than most other Muslim members did. It's not intended as a meeting just for Muslims, but as a place to share and learn. That is the point and non-Muslims are very, very welcome, wanted even.
- Not only has he had no lines so far while his other half Mike "Other Asian" Chang has had two, one of which could easily have been given to Matt, he spent an entire episode AWOL due to hospitalization because there was a spider in his ear. He'll probably spend the rest of season one silent, only to break out into sudden, unprompted SesquipedalianLoquaciousness in the last ten minutes of the season.
- Well, he got one line. Which is more than he gets during most episodes.
- Pretty much jossed in "Power of Madonna", considering the opposite happened
- He could still end up with Kurt though.
- Jossed because he's not coming back for season 2
- Actually, he will be back. Ryan Murphy said that he wants Jesse to show up near the end of the season, as soon as Jonathan Groff is finished with his play in London. But Kurt is supposed to be getting a serious boyfriend next season, so it's highly unlikely this will happen, especially because Kurt and Jesse really have no reason to interact with each other anymore.
- Based on the new promo: I predict that Finn and Sam are bullying Kurt, and Kurt is breaking up a fight between Blaine and Karofsky over himself.
- Jossed. They think of Beiste in...compromising positions.
- Jossed. Darren Criss has been confirmed to become a series regular in the third season of Glee. He's sticking around.
- "In fact, I like minorities so much I've been thinking about moving to California to become one!"
This is obviously a reference to the whole Prop 8 debacle. If she's not a lesbian, then she's at least bisexual.
- That line has nothing to do with Prop 8. And, while it's still possible she's bisexual, episode 8 makes it clear she is interested in men.
- That line is in reference to California being home to the largest number of racial minorities in the States—The Other Wiki says that, lumped together and compared against the white population, they make up 57% of California's total population—and not the number of gay people or any discrimination they may face. If Sue was a lesbian/bisexual, she'd be a minority already anyway.
- I thought that line was a reference to her being a conservative Republican. That seems to be the opposite of the stereotypical Californian.
- The actress that plays Sue Sylvester [Jane Lynch] is an out lesbian, so it is possible.
- CLEARLY Jossed by her obvious interest in Rod Remington in "Mash-Up." Seriously, people. Even if she showed interest in women in a future episode, that would make her BISEXUAL, not a lesbian, because she has liked men before. And Jane Lynch's sexuality has nothing to do with it - gay actors can play straight characters, and have already on this show (just ask Jonathan Groff or Cheyenne Jackson).
- Jossed. It will be the Warblers' song for Sectionals.
- "Dog Days Are Over" is the club's way of welcoming him back while telling him "everything will be okay now, all the bad things we've been through are done."
- Jossed, he's still at Dalton.
- Nothing against the WMG(Which would be kinda cool, actually...), but Brittany is generally portrayed as nicer to people "below her level". She was the first of the jocks/cheerios(Besides Finn) to interact with the other half of the Glee Club in a friendly manner.
- Jossed. Her last name is Pierce.
- Jossed, it was simply an insert song.
- Nope, he wakes up when Kurt is talking to him normally.
- Jossed in Silly Love Songs
- Jossed.
- One of the other songs has Kurt talking to an aunt "Mildred" IIRC
- I also think the scene will go between Kurt trying to get away from Britanny and Blaine trying to keep his soon to be ex from leaving (or Karofsky... or Sam)
- The recently released video of the "Baby It's Cold Outside" performance Josses that part of the theory.
- I would say this theory is damn well Jossed, seeing as they're pretty stable and happy together.
- Jossed
- Jossed. He considered he might be into Rachel after he drunkenly enjoyed a kiss with her, and thought he might be bi. When he tried to kiss her sober, he realized he wasn't into it and that he was 100% gay.
- However, Chang is one of the most common Chinese (or Korean) names out there—it's like Smith or Black—so it's not exactly a leap in logic to say that two totally unrelated people in a fairly large school could share the name.
- Truth in Television as evident by my and my brother's in-laws. And even outside of blood relations and such, depending on how long a family has been in the US, there's a lot of other reasons why some people might share the last name and not be related.
- All that being said and done, the chances of two characters in a TV show with the same last name being related is exponentially higher than that in reality. It wouldn't have been that difficult to pick a different Chinese last name for Mike, so it's quite possible the writers have something else in mind.
- Jossed as of the season 2 premiere.
- Truth in Television as evident by my and my brother's in-laws. And even outside of blood relations and such, depending on how long a family has been in the US, there's a lot of other reasons why some people might share the last name and not be related.
- It would be weird, at the very least. especially as John Stamos has been confirmed to be playing the dentist.
- Jossed: Emma is married to John Stamos' character
- Jossed. They sang it for the club.
- The Kurt bit is probably jossed, news is that they will cast a new guy to play Kurt's boyfriend.
- They also said Shelby would not turn to be Rachel's mom, so...
- I was the troper that said it was probably jossed, and I would like to say that you just gave me hope =D
- Sorry Jossed again. Ryan Murphy is saying that Mike will enter into Artie/Tina drama next year (with Tina, not Artie), meaning that the chances of him being involved in Kurt's story too are next to none. And, while Murphy is a known Lying Creator, it's very hard to cover up things you say will happen than thing you say won't.
- Precisely because he's a Lying Creator, it can't be truly Jossed until it happens(or not) on screen. and if we read the same thing, the spoiler is that it's Tina who will develop a crush on Mike
- And let's not forget that, in this show, having a boyfriend means next to nothing, just look at Quinn with Finn and Rachel with Jesse
- From what Murphy said in this interview (scroll to the end), it sounds like that storyline is going to be about Artie having to win Tina back; Mike could be back on the market within the first few episodes.
- And why does dancing during the girls' numbers make him gay? The little bit of characterization that he's got is that he's a great dancer who's only just found an outlet for it. Dancing is just what he does, it doesn't make him gay.
- Because all the other "confirmed" straight characters not only did not dance, but were * very* uncomfortable with the performances. Also, this is Wild Mass Guessing.
- They also said Shelby would not turn to be Rachel's mom, so...
- Mike scored very low (above Matt and Rachel) in the Glist, maybe because he knows how to hide what he is doing.
- Well, that would prove that at least Quinn is unaware of his...extracurricular activities.
- The writers showed to have at least an interest in Ascended Meme in this new half of season, and Mike + Kurt is a common ship for Kurt.
- Either that or they're leading us into a false sense of security through their acknowledge of this ship...
- While Puck/Kurt is a more Fan-Preferred Couple than Mike/Kurt, it's worth noting that in Glee Live, Mike (not Finn, I was sure) danced in the lobster costume during "Bad Romance"
- To be fair, Puck gets paired with everyone on a regular basis: Launcher of a Thousand Ships.
- Prepare to be blown away.
- Also, recall that he didn't participate in the group shower sex with April, Puck, and Matt.
Jossed. He's obviously quite happy with Tina.
- Well since Blaine stated that he never had a boyfriend in Silly Love Songs this one has been jossed.
- Why would Blaine admit to it. It also might not have been dating but a hook up?
- Blaine was a virgin when he and Kurt had sex in "The First Time," and anyway the title of the example said "dating." Still jossed.
- Why would Blaine admit to it. It also might not have been dating but a hook up?
- Thankfully, it was Jossed by Brad Falchuk after Max Adler brought up the possibility in an interview. See here.
- Actually, he does attempt suicide in "On My Way" but he was unsuccessful.
- Actually, sectionals takes place at the end of November. But they could stretch it out to make room for Nationals.
- And that would make this Jossed.
- Yes, Regionals. It was the competition they lost last year to Vocal Adrenaline. And I think that, because they're hyping the fact that nationals are in New York, they'll at least reach nationals, but not necessarily win them. There is a another WMG up here that suggested the nationals arc takes up all of season 3, which I think sounds reasonable, since they seem to be moving at the same speed plot-wise as last season.
- There might even be an entire competition tier between regionals and nationals, such as state. They just forgot about it because they haven't been there in so long.
- Aural Intensity were from Indiana in Sectionals, so if I had to guess, I'd say that State would come before Sectionals, but is so lowly contested there isn't any point showing it, or there just isn't enough Glee clubs to warrant a '4th tier' and means Sectionals can be made up of teams from 2 or 3 'close' states (which seems strange, that out of the hundreds of high schools that would make up a section, only half-handful would want to compete?). Or finally, that 'State' isn't competetive and teams aren't judged except to vet a team who wish to join the competition circuit at Sectionals.
- First troper. I meant between Regionals and Nationals not Sectionals and Nationals. If they represent the Midwest (which seems strange to me since Ohio seems more north-east in my view, but I'm assuming that's some kind of geographical naming quirk I wouldn't understand unless I was American), Regionals would likely be the last competition before Nationals. If it is the last competition, that would surely mean that Nationals would be comprised of more than 3 teams, and possible up to 8 or 9, like teams from the states including or near: Washington, California, Texas, South Dakota, Illinois, Florida, North Carolina, New York and Massachusetts. You could probably combine the areas of Washington and California, North Carolina and Florida, Illinois and South Dakota (into the Midwest region that New Directions compete in), New York and Massachusetts, but that's still 5 other clubs.
- Jossed. They won Regionals and are headed to Nationals.
- There might even be an entire competition tier between regionals and nationals, such as state. They just forgot about it because they haven't been there in so long.
- Now that he's in a relationship with a boy who loves him and is clearly enjoying it, this trope is Jossed.
- Two out of three isn't bad. (Although at 16 he's probably a little on the young side. Dawson Casting exists for a reason).
- Jossed since Blaine and Kurt don't look like they're breaking up anytime soon.
- Two out of three isn't bad. (Although at 16 he's probably a little on the young side. Dawson Casting exists for a reason).
- Jossed. She got him back.
- Adding to this, "Misery" will be sung the episode after Kurt leaves. Blaine will finally realise his feelings for Kurt and become lonely and depressed because they don't speak as often. He will then get the Warblers to sing "Misery" to Kurt as Blaine's way of saying "I miss you". It may have been forshadowed in "Silly Love Songs" when Blaine mentioned that he struggles with expressing himself any other way but in song.
- Jossed "Animal" and "Misery" are just two other songs. Blaine falls for Kurt after he sings "Blackbird" in memory of Pavarotti and they become a couple midway through the episode.
- Jossed, as neither Blaine nor the Warblers hold it against Kurt at all. "Somewhere Only We Know," anyone?
- Rachel and Quinn might fit better, because they initially didn't get along but have somewhat become friends.
- Rachel and Kurt would fit even better as they've actually become friends in season 2, and both are Wicked fans.
- ^ CONFIRMED
- Which would make this one Jossed, as Kurt and Rachel sing it.
- ^ CONFIRMED
- Karofsky decides to replace Lauren after realizing his reputation doesn't matter. After joining, he will come out of the closet to the group and date Kurt. Blaine might become part of a love triangle, but Kurt will chose Karofsky as part of the Oedipus/Electra complex.
- That is not how either of those complexes work.
- Jossed by "New York."
- Jossed.
- It seems likely, but I thought I read somewhere that Kurt's boyfriend actually won't show up until later in the season.
- I don't remember reading that, but I've read literally dozens of articles speculating that it's Sam, or even taking it for granted that it's him. Either he's destined to become Kurt's boyfriend or the writers want us to think he is.
- Most likely, though not definitively Jossed by "Duets".
- Definitively jossed by "Rumours" and removed from all possibility of being unjossed by Sam's departure from the series at the end of Season Two.
- Sam is back now, but has his eye on Mercedes. Jossed for sure.
- Jossed; they're fine with it. Her abuela on the other hand...
- Jossed. Her "new attitude" only lasted an episode and a half, and she applied for and was accepted early decision at Yale.
- Duet confirms that Sam did went to a all-boys school, Conservation of Detail seem to indicate that is likely the same as Blaine.
- Jossed. Sam came to McKinley from a school in Tennessee.
Assuming that Sam came from Dalton, during Sectionals, at least one of the Warblers should have recognize him, once again assuming that they traveled in the same circles. They might not have known that was Sam until they heard him sing, it which case, they were like, "Oh my god, that's him." This would be in line with him having no reaction when Shue said that they were performing against Dalton, and only telling Quinn that he came from an all boys school: he doesn't want anyone else to know.
- Jossed. Sam didn't go to Dalton; his boarding school was in Tennessee.
- Jossed. Sam didn't go to Dalton.
- She is only a lesbian in the sense that she likes girls more than boys. She does feel some attraction for boys, but since its not as strong as her feelings for other girls (Brittany) and she lives in a world where No Bisexuals is apparently invoked by everyone, she is simply written off as a lesbian by everyone else.
- She identified as lesbian from her own private thoughts. "I'm a closet lesbian and a judgmental bitch"
- Jossed. The creators have specifically stated that Santana is a lesbian, not bisexual, and the 2011 GLAAD survey listed Santana as gay and Brittany as bisexual.
- Jossed, the creators specifically said they're not having another teen pregnancy storyline this season and Amber Riley denied it on Twitter. Those accusations came from the Dreamgirls song the group sung before she quit, which was about a character who was pregnant.
- But her dads did come to see her - they were in the front row at sectionals and she looks at them while she's making her way up to the stage.
- No they're not, at least not that we can see. The only audience member we get a decent shot of is Emma.
- Okay, so her dads enjoy seeing her perform and pay for her dance lessons because they think it makes her happy, but they don't seriously think Rachel's going to become some massive star, especially after what happened to Rachel's mother, Shelby.
- JOSSED in "Heart"
- But her dads did come to see her - they were in the front row at sectionals and she looks at them while she's making her way up to the stage.
- This would be to show that he's not as nice a guy as he first appears.
- What would be even better: an entire episode of songs from campy horror flicks. (Say, in a Halloween Special.) Ryan Murphy said that he's planning on having Jayma Mays sing "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" from "Rocky Horror Picture Show," the song she performed when she auditioned for the role of Emma.
- Ryan Murphy just said that a Rocky Horror episode is in the works.
- Which, as a MAJOR fan of Little Shop of Horrors and a minor fan or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I can assure you is not the same thing. AT ALL.
- Hell yes! If possible, this should be done in a place with puppets (like in the school theater or something). To added awesomeness.
- The entire thing was part of her plan to get Will back, but since he rejected her she's going to take him for all she can in child support payments.
- Terri was written out of the show at the end of Season 2, with no baby mentioned. Jossed.
Of course, this is going to go straight to their heads and they will start to think they're more important than they really are. Somebody could get an audition for a major play or even a recording contract, some people might try transferring schools because they feel their talents are wasted, and if you think the fights over solos are bad now then they're going to be hell this time around. The fall part of the show will focus on Will trying to keep the club from fracturing because of this, and making sure the kids stay grounded.
- This being Glee I think that even if they won Nationals it won't mean a damn thing to the football players and the first thing that happens when they get home is a "welcome back" slushie facial.
- Jossed, if there was any "theme" to the season, it was about graduation.
- Jossed, only Kurt and Rachel go to New York and their escapades are worked into the regular show.
- Jossed, only the winners and runners-up were in the show.
- Jossed, they both got enough and competed against each other.
- Jossed — they don't say how he died and Kurt says "it doesn't matter". Also, an E!Online review points out they couldn't have made him a Functional Addict in three episodes.
