The athlete eating all the food at Cam and Mithchell's is funny?


Why the athlete guy? I do not think that it is funny. I really hope that I do not come off as a jerk. I really enjoy the Lily character. But why tie her humor to a stupid idea like this?

At least they're trying something different. I laughed at the part where Cam thought he was just as heroic as the athelete's Dad who was transferred to an army base in Florida, and Mitch quickly brough him back to earth. Or the athlete's hilarious overacting during the fake arrest. It would've been hands down the best part of the last episode if it wasn't for the usual problem - the kid playing Lily experiencing difficulty with basic acting skills.

Can we not say football player? Why do you guys keep calling him athlete? As far as we know he plays one sport. And the whole reason he's staying there is that Cam's football team can't win without him.

I love Dwight, and wondered where he was Wednesday.

He's living with the Pritchett-Tucker clan, and I understand not going trick or treating with them, but you'd think he would have been at one of the Halloween parties.

Plus he's in Luke and Manny's class- he could very realistically been at Luke's party or the other one with all the kids. I'm sure he's not in the same social circles as Manny or Luke, but being without his own family should be a perfect opportunity to introduce him to Mitch and Cams family

The practical answer is that the actor is contracted for a specific number of episodes and thus cannot be in every one.
