Apr 18 2012, 11:00 AM by Christine Montgomery

The Glee kids HATE disco, amiright? We've been hearing about it since the pilot; so how does Glee manage to pull off a totally disco themed episode? "Let's be honest, William. You've been out of ideas since Madonna week." In this week's episode of Glee, McKinley High students are tempted with free swag to participate in a disco themed dance off. A chance to win free stuff? Disco episode: totally justified.

"Saturday Night Glee-ver" was the first episode of Glee to feature a Glee Project contestant. Alex Newell starred as Wade, a glee-kid from a rival school who approaches his heroes Mercedes and Kurt for advice about doing a drag performance at Regionals. Dramarama alert! Sue sees Wade's bold idea as an opportunity for sabotage. Luckily, Wade sings an inspiring "Boogie Shoes" and the good guys win again. Who else is excited to see Wade competing with Vocal Adrenaline against New Directions at Nationals?

On the bright side, we find out Brittany applied for Sanata to one of the top cheerleading schools in the country, and Santana got in! Sue: "[Brittany] gets an idea once every couple of years and lucky for us, this was a good one.” Score!
