Default Blair in 7 Little Indians

Hey guys,
I was just thinking about this and wondering. You remember the episode later in the series when Beverly Ann was there instead of Mrs. Garrett and she and all the girls kept getting killed off. When Blair "died," remember how her hair looked like she'd stuck a wet hand in an electric socket? I was just wondering...how exactly did Blair "die" in that episode? I know Blair was the one setting it all up and she was just trying to make it look like someone had killed her, but how did she mean for it to look like she was killed? Did she intend for the others to believe the "killer" had electrocuted her? Did they spray hairspray down her throat or something? Remember the funny way she was talking afterwards, when she revealed to Tootie that she was alive and tried to "kill" her? I was just thinking about that and wondering.

Such a great ep, absolutely love Lisa Whelchel in it!!!

But no, I never was completely clear on the exact way Blair "died." In the ep., after they come upstars and find her sitting in the chair Beverly Ann says, "She's completely stiff!" and then Jo says, "Looks like she was moussed to death!" and that's about all the explanation we're given, at least that I can tell! Maybe someone else has some insights?

Okay...I didn't remember the moussing comment because it's been so long since I've seen it. Thanks!

I love "Seven Little Indians". I think from a pure comical stand point it was the funniest episode of the series.

When I first saw this episode it scared the life out of me, especially when everyone died. I was just like . But now it's one of my favorite later episodes and one of the funniest, especially when Tootie is all alone in the shop after everyone has died and Blair comes out and says, "And then there was Tootie!" .
Tootie... I like saying Tootie

The Rod Serling lookalike is hysterical. "You probably don't know who that is. Come to think of it, you probably don't know who I am. That's okay, because I don't know who you are either. So we're even".

Those are two really good ones too. I love how they made Blair fat in "Golden Oldies" and she was always eating. Sadly, I don't have that episode on tape.

I love when Blair falls through the wall in "Another Room".

I haven't seen "Facts of Life" in forever, but that episode (actually all that were mentioned) sounds hilarious!
