Default I saw nothing wrong with Tootie snapping on Mrs. Garrett about Jermaine Jackson

I mean the Girl received a call letting her know that she was chosen to receive tickets to the concert who was one of her favorite singers and Mrs. Garrret Tells her NO she can't go? i would have snapped too

Mrs. Garrett: "I'm sorry Tootie but we can't go"

tootie: "I"M GOING!!!"


I also heard some of the audience members laughing when Tootie was CRYING and Hugging Mrs. Garrett-LOL



BTW: Why would a grown a$$ man grip up a 13 year old girl even if he she was running toward Jermaine jackson? He had his arm around her neck and arm behind her back. Damm he was a IDIOT-lol

I was laughing my butt off when Tootie snapped at Mrs. G, even back then. But all of that crying and screaming made me dislike Tootie until the next season.

But she was given tickets to a concert of her favorite singer. And mrs. garrett statement was not going to make her feel better-"there will be other concerts"


HUH???-lol Other concerts?

That part made me go "WTH?", Other concerts? This is Jermaine Jackson, not Michael, what other concerts?

I think that statement alone is what made Tootie get overly emotional and all "I'll run away then."

That was funny!

Funny how the other girls were all mad about Tootie going to the concert, I'm pretty sure if they were Tootie, they would have picked the concert.

She was in a "Stocker" frame of mind. I think she was a bit out of control, especially for Jermaine Jackson.

That girl was out of control over a concert, she was acting like Jermaine was her boyfriend or somebody.

Thumbs down

I haven't seen every FOL episode, but of the ones I have, this is hands down my least favorite. Tootie went psychotic!! It was just a hammy episode all around.

Yeah I thought the whole thing was stupid and Mrs. Garrett was totally right in trying to get her not to go.

I dont necessarily think she should've given up the tickets but she shouldnt have snapped at Mrs. G. like that. Mrs. G was only looking out for Tootie, and obession like that isnt healthy
