WOW, this is an incredibly garbage episode of The Finish Line. There were SO MANY easy questions in this episode, but despite that, the contestants kept getting them wrong over and over and over again. For example, in the third round, Stacey thought Slow Horses and Andor were cartoons! (Of course, the answer to that question was Gravity Falls and Adventure Time, so I have to wonder how Stacey hasn't heard of either, was she living under a rock throughout the past decade or something?)

The part of the episode where you have to fill in the blanks was even easier, yet Jeanette only managed to get 2 correct, and I'm not even kidding when I say this, all of the ones she got wrong were so easy to figure out. How can someone be so stupid?

Anyway, for those interested in watching The Finish Line, I would recommend you skip series 1 episode 7, as otherwise you'll probably lose a lot of brain cells and go mad at the incompetency of these contestants.

I honestly don't get why this episode is hated by some. It is actually really good and gives a very great insight into Nicole's parents and how they have affected Nicole like just in general. That being said however, the particular thing about this episode that 'draws' me to it is wishful thinking. That being wishing that Duncanville had an episode that followed through the exact same concept as this episode of Gumball, where we get to see Annie's parents, which we never managed to since Duncanville had gotten cancelled after only 3 seasons.

I think, had Duncanville theoretically had an episode just like this, that would have been an instant fan favourite, as the "mystery" regarding Annie's childhood would have explained a lot about her characteristics and what not. Imagine how much more beloved that show would have been with such sort of episode! It would have been really really great!

So as it stands, as an episode of Gumball focusing on Nicole's parents, the episode is really good, not perfect, but really good. But as a theoretical episode of Duncanville focusing on Annie's parents, this would have been excellent, and would have truly been the greatest episode of that show by a mile, as they can easily nail down the fundamentals of this topic area and execute it far better. I think it would have drawn more people into being more interested in that show and having it last a lot longer than 3 seasons!

I might as well pitch this idea to save Duncanville from cancellation! Think it would be a brilliant idea, honestly...
