Glee - 'Naked'

Tina has more ideas, this time for a sexy man-calendar to raise money to send the team to Regionals. The guys are pretty much down (Sam got his impersonation out of the way early in the episode) except for Blaine, who Tina suggests should be 'a sexy Santa for December' WHEN is she gonna get the message?! 

This is creepy, but funny. But still creepy.

Britney does a Fondue for 2 episode with Marley about how she's bulemic and is in love with Jake. Also, Lord Tubbington has an online gambling problem.
Then it turns out that Britney scored the highest on her SATs after guessing everything. And Sam got the lowest and Britney tells him he should just stick to being a sexy model, like 'A greeter at Abercrombie's corporate headquarters'.
Rachel is auditioning for a part in some NYADA senior's film, which requires her to be topless (weirdly enough, we know Lea Michele has no problem with that, considering she was in Spring Awakening...)

OK this is supposed to be a pic of her and Jonathan Groff..
But that doesn't really look like him!!

Then she sees her younger self talking to her and says she is starting to look like a porn star (HA!) and the two of them do a duet of 'Torn' by Natalie Imbruglia (remember that song?!) I used to think it was boring when I was younger, but now I love it! Although she changed back and forth so fast, that made me dizzy.
Finn takes down Sue when she confronts him about the calendar, because apparently he knows about the fact that she was in Penthouse. She told him he'd never find a copy of it, but then he leaves and she makes her 'oh crap I'm in trouble' face lol 

You know. This face. We don't get to see it often, so let's charish it.

The guys do a workout to Nelly's 'Hot in Here' and Sam teaches them Booty camp for the guys, and Tina is complimentary about Blaine's butt, but WAY too specific... Also Artie is uncomfortable about it.
Brodie decided that the best way to make Rachel comfortable with her body is for HIM to walk around naked in her apartment - that she shares with poor Kurt. Then Kurt called her a Slutty Barbie and I applauded the TV. 

I really just wanted to use this picture again.

Marley and Jake sing a Christina Perri song that I have only heard once before - my cousin showed it to me because she wants to dance to it at her wedding, and I absolutely love it! At the end, she is on the verge of saying she loves him but changes it to 'I love - this song! But I don't think it's right for Regionals.' CHICKEN!! Although they haven't been dating for very long, so maybe it's for the best.
Then Jake and Ryder are talking and Jake says he thinks he might love Marley and Ryder isn't even that jealous, he's just gonna try to help Marley and Jake figure out what they want. So he tells Jake to sing to her.
And here, I actually cried. Because Jake did an incredible, sweet, stripped-down (musically, not clothing-wise) version of Ne-Yo's 'Let Me Love You' and considering how much I already love that song, and the emotion that clearly went into singing it, and Marley's face as she blushed when he said it was for her... I bawled like a little baby.
Artie tells Finn he really couldn't bear being a part of the calendar because of how 'broken' he is, and it's so sad. Poor Artie.

Artie kinda reminds me of this guy... Anyone else see that?

Back to New York, and suddenly Quinn and Santana are in Rachel's apartment! To intervene! And make her respect herself!! You go girls! But, being Slutty Barbie, and Diva Rachel, she doesn't want to listen to them.
The guys are posing for the calendar and Artie is fine holding the reflective board. Sam is acting like a totaly diva, he has to go lift more weights because he lost his muscle-puff by waiting too long in between photos. Then Blaine goes to talk to him telling him to have more faith in himself for beign an awesome person, rather than just a pretty face. And Sam looks like he's gonna cry. Which means I want to cry!
Then Finn marches up to Sue with an envelope and says he found her Penthouse spread and she goes "I'm not ashamed of it! I would love to take a gander at that glorious taco" and I'm very very usettled by that phrase O.O but then she opens it and it's a copy of Highlights hahaha then he reveals that he actually was just recording her admiting that she did, in fact, pose for Penthouse. 

He's that sneaky AND looks this good in a tux?!
Are we sure he's not a spy??

Emma is back! She and Blaine are showing Sam that there's still hope for him to go away to various colleges, and all he needs to do for some is write an essay.
Rachel was going to do the scene, but then there were a bunch of crew members around and she felt awkward. So she asked for them to take their shirts off too, but they were all like fat or skinny nerds (all guys) so she says she can't do it. Then she leaves singing 'Love Song' (which makes me happy, I love that song so much!) and then she meets up with Quinn and Santana and they all sing together. Then Santana admits that she might want to move to New York.
Blaine show Sam a video that he made of all the members of Glee (including Mercedes!) talking about everything that Sam has done, both for them and for his family, and Blaine says 'there's your essay for college' and I teared up and they hugged and I think Blaine is feeling the same way Tina is feeling about him, but still, it was a really touching moment. Also Britney thinks that Sam was the first person ever to do a Sean Connery impersonation, and that he helped launch Sean Connery's career. 

You can't be serious.

The crew is talking abotut the calendar and then Jake gives Marley one where he signed it saying 'I love you' I made the 'I'm gonna tear up' face but didn't actually cry. Then she said she loves him too. And Becky is hitting on Artie again, and it makes me uncomfortable, but not nearly as uncomfortable as he looks haha!
Then they all sang a song that I've never heard before, but I loved it, and I loved the presentation, the black and white outfits... So classy.
