While this episode didn't live up to my expectations, for some reason I just kept watching. But in a way it felt weaker than some of the episodes later in the season.
As you all may know, I'm head over heels in love with Twilight Sparkle, but before I started watching MLP, I had a monster 2-year crush on Rebecca Miyamoto from Pani Poni Dash!
Hmm...it bothers me a little, but I do agree that it does sound a little cheesy. Teenagers nowadays aren't into that sort of thing, they'll all so ready to grow up and what not.
