This episode was okay for the most part. I thought it was interesting to see the Loud kids doing the opposite of what they normally like doing (the part with Leni's SAT score made me laugh). However, I will say that the Loud parents have not been improving as much as the kids have this season. This episode was the one that really convinced me they were never ready to have children. The way they forced their kids into doing things they didn't want to do just so they could prove themselves to be better than their neighbors annoyed me. They clearly didn't care if their kids hated the work they put them through because all they cared about was their competition. I get that they had good intentions, but choosing the path your children take for them is a sign of being a controlling parent, which is not good at all. Also, the ending was really forced with Lynn Sr. and Rita deciding to let the kids have fun again just so THEY could go to the movies and get ice cream. I still liked this episode and all, but I think that Lynn Sr. and Rita are going to be my least favorite characters for a long time.
