Synopsis: Zack runs against Jessie for Student Body President thinking the winner gets a trip to Washington D.C. After Belding finds out and cancels the trip, Zack has to find a way to lose without quitting.


Critique: I liked this episode quite a bit because it was funny (of course) and it was just plain enjoyable to watch. By the end of the episode, you are really interested in what was going to happen. I also liked Screech as Zack's campaign manager. This just confirmed my thoughts: That Screech (in the ninth grade year) is the most hilarious man ever. Well, that's my two cents. If you want to see a fun, entertaining show about a school election, this is for you. Otherwise, you shouldn't even be reading this critique.
Grade: B+


Quote of the Episode:
Screech: "You're still okay with the geeks. The party's over with the party animals. You still got the nerds with glasses, but the nerds without glasses can't see you at all. And, you're losing your jock support!"
