Post How Come So Many People Don't Like "Smile"?

How come so many people don't like the episode, Smile. I personally kind of liked it because Natalie was the main character in this one. I used to not like this one because Jo wasn't in it, but when I watch it now, it seems way better then before.

Episode: 118: Smile

Natalie has high hopes of breaking into journalism by taking a job at the local newspaper, Peekskill Press, but she may lose her new boyfriend, a freshman at Cornell, in the process.

This ep was pretty good, but just not quite as good without Jo.

i LOVE this episode! it has alway been one of my favorites in the 6th season!! It is kinda weird without jo being in it... but to tell you the truth... the first time i EVER saw this episode i kept thinking through the whole thing.... what's different??? and then RIGHT at the end with nat and that guy in the shop i realized that jo wasn't in it at all.. haha! I'm like that's why it's so different! no fighting between blair and jo.... but you know the episode entitled the first time isn't the same without Blair either... it's actually sad that she wasn't there for such a HUGE event in nat's life...

------------------
Blair: (reading from a book) Her face flushed hottly. At that moment, he kissed her (laughs)
Nat: Great Blair! You've gone from food to sex and I can't have either!
