    I think I'm back on EP Selman's side. Pretty good topical-but-timeless concept mixed with our own characters' actual problems. Stayed focused, was funny enough, etc. His typical 3 acts but at least closer to long. I also enjoyed the
    subtlety about "fake" vs. "real" awards and achievements in the trueness of the
    "You're the Best Around" montage music.
    DYN:
    ...the rumpus room is seen?
    ...the first GRIT slide uses Arial but the second (and thereafter) uses Helvetica?
    Meta
    Lisa has a blackboard punishment again (Everybody's a winner), and Bart gets a second in the same episode (I did nothing wrong this week).
    Previous episode stuff in couch gag
    Here is what I noticed in the couch gag. Along with series regulars Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II, plus Mr. Teeny and Jub Jub, I saw...
    Stampy (1F15)
    Mr. Nibbles (CABF06)
    Santa's Little Helper's puppies (2F18)
    Laddie (4F16)
    Duncan (BABF09)
    Spider Pig (Movie)
    Iguanas from 5F22
    Lisa's hamster from 9F14
    Screamapillar (DABF16)
    Pinchy (AABF03)
    But I can't quite place a few others. A pigeon and snake might be to go with the iguanas from 5F22. Another dog, a large calf of some sort, and a raccoon?
