"Finally — finally — La Thibodeaux summons Idiot Rachel to the stage and, as telegraphed in this evening’s very first scene, Idiot Rachel proceeds to biff her audition for Fake Drama School In New York. Like, completely. It’s actually pretty gruesome, though not as fucking gruesome as those utterly unnecessary and hatefully intrusive Twitter prompts that have been appearing onscreen throughout this evening’s presentation, the latest of which pops up just as Idiot Rachel hurls herself into the opening bars of — wait for it — “Don’t Rain On My Parade” from Funny Girl. I was doing my best to ignore them thus far, and I had every intention of making it through this entire recap without ever mentioning them once, but forget it: They’re just pissing me off way too much at this point. It’d be one thing if the prompts were funny, like #HeyWhatHappenedToQuinnTonight, or #YourArtificiallyStuffedCrotchIsEmbarrassingMeKurt, or #ShutUpFinn — the latter of which would probably convince me to get a Twitter account, just so I could send it repeatedly between eight and nine every Tuesday night — but “#RachelsAudition”? #FuckOffGlee."
