Wasn't feeling this one. Jay and Gloria didn't have a lot to do. Cam/Mitchell's story just felt like running in place. The Dunphy hotel story didn't really 'land' with me and I thought it was pretty preposterous even for Phil that he would give out his address first with an open invite to that Nigerian family... a phone number I could see, but an address? Nobody does that unless you're setting up a concrete meetup.
Also, maybe I missed it, but why were they staying in such a dumpy hotel?

I just caught up with this one last night...didn't think much of it either. I liked the bit with the grenade body spray, but other than that, I didn't laugh much. Once again, everything with Mitch and Cam was SUPER-annoying.

Yes, this was definitely weak. None of the storylines offered much.
Not buying a hot/popular 18 year old chick choosing a fat 15 year old boy to make her old boyfriend jealous. Wouldn't an 18 or 17 year old do? And someone more popular and better looking?
It would make more sense if the writers just had her using Manny to help pass a class or something.
