Will you pop this for me?

After learning her flight from New York City to Los Angeles wouldn't get back to LAX until 11:14 PM, Tori opens a video chat with André (who is staying at his grandmother's house because of her fear of the changing numbers on her digital clock) and asks if they should work on their script project via video chat. She then adds Cat and Beck when they come online.

The assignment is to make a seven-to-ten page script involving a mystery, three characters, and a plot twist. When they get started on the project, Cat soon gets distracted by the video effects they have, such as the rainbow effect. While the rest of the group continues to think of ideas, everyone except Tori eventually gets distracted with the video effects as well. Robbie requests to join the group because of an argument between him and Rex. After listening to the two of them argue for a few minutes, Tori, now irritated, kicks Robbie off the chat.

When the group once again try to brainstorm ideas for their project, Jade joins the chat and questions why Beck is holding a dog for a cheerleader, thinking that the cheerleader is a teenager who may have been attracted to Beck. Jade gets angry and leaves to go to his RV to see that the cheerleader does not try to flirt with Beck. When Cat once again starts playing around with the special effects, changing her face into a cherry pie, Tori finally snaps and yells at her, telling her that she's not helping and to stop acting like a child. Cat starts to cry and signs off. Afterward, Jade arrives at Beck's RV and sits and waits for the cheerleader to pick up her dog. Robbie tries to join again, but the group denies him. Soon after, someone named "LilStephanie 21" tries to join them. It turns out to be Robbie, who had simply created a second video account, so they remove him from the chat and continue.

Later, Trina goes to the first-class area to use the bathroom even though she isn't allowed to. In the process of climbing over Tori, Trina doesn't realize she's waving her butt in Beck's and André's faces, causing them both to yell out in fright and shudder in disgust. When Trina leaves, the young boy sitting behind Trina who had been irritating her the entire flight leans over and comments to Tori that Trina is a freak, but hot, however, he believes that Tori is hotter. Tori rolls her eyes and shakes the kid off. Andre and Beck tease Tori on this situation, to her annoyance. When Trina gets back, she gives Beck and André another view of her rear, making them shudder again. She excitedly tells Tori that she saw Perez Hilton and took his camera so that she could return it, claiming she "found" it. By doing this, she hopes to make him so relieved that he puts it in his blog, which would automatically make her famous.

Sinjin appears and chats with them until Jade realizes that Sinjin is in her house, making him run away. Once André's grandma comes in, she sees the webcam and destroys the computer by punching André's screen, leaving Beck and Tori with the project. When the cheerleader, Allie, comes, Jade is shocked to find that she is a nine-year-old little girl, instead of a teenager. In typical Jade fashion, she shrugs off any responsibility for overreacting then shuts down the webcam when Tori interrupts their argument, leaving Tori all by herself, their project still incomplete. Perez Hilton comes by, knowing that Trina stole his camera, and demands it back. Trina refuses to simply hand it over, requesting that in return for returning it, he mentions her in his blog. Hilton refuses, and the two begin to fight over the camera, but Perez lands on Tori's lap. The episode ends with Trina chasing Perez down the aisle and Tori getting up from her seat to go after her sister.

Trivia[]

  • Dan Schneider tweeted that he thought this episode was "very weird".
  • This is the first time on Victorious in which a special high-profile guest star (Perez Hilton) appeared.
  • The title was chosen by fans via a poll on Dan Schneider's blog. The original title was "Video Chat."[1] People voted for the name of Survival of the Hottest on the same poll.
    • The other choices for the name were: Sky Chat, Sky High Video Chat, Mile High Video Chat, and Homework At 30,000 Feet. Although obviously, WiFi In The Sky won.
  • Tori's project partners are André, Cat, and Beck.
  • This is the first episode to only take place in only one area (on the plane), which is known in the television world as a "bottle episode". There are only two in-between scene cut clips (one at the beginning of the episode and one after the theme song), and one TheSlap status update from Tori (after the commercial break).
  • Trina is wearing the same shirt that Tori wore at the beginning of The Bird Scene. It is noted in this episode that they borrow each other's clothes.
  • After Beck's cheerleader neighbor leaves, when Tori suggests to Jade that she might have competition, you can see on Beck's computer that he is on PearTunes, showing a display for the music video Hate Me, Love Me by Ginger Fox which was shown briefly in the iCarly episode "iFix a Pop Star".
  • When Jade is at Beck's House, you can see Jade is still online, although she could be still online on her computer in her house.
  • The name of the teacher that Tori has to turn her paper in for, Mr. Gradstein, is a reference to Arthur Gradstein, a writer for the show as well as other shows by Dan Schneider such as Zoey 101, iCarly, and Drake and Josh.
  • This episode reveals the following about TheSlap:
    • Tori is friends with all the main characters (even Jade) on TheSlap.
    • People can make video calls with effects.
    • To join video chats, you have to send a person a request who is already in the chat.
    • Whenever a friend is online, the computer makes a sound to let the person know.
  • Due to the fact that a significant majority of the episode takes place in one location, coupled with the fact that the characters don't leave the plane, this could be considered a bottle episode.
  • Captain Stu Bing is voiced by Dan Schneider. Captain Stubing was the ship captain of "The Love Boat," the 80s sitcom.
  • Tori says "No chiz," and Trina asks what "chiz" is. Tori responds that André thinks it's a German sausage, as he said in The Birthweek Song. This word has been mentioned many times on iCarly as well.
  • Robbie has a Galaxy Wars background on his computer. Galaxy Wars has been referenced in other shows by Dan Schneider.
  • When Jade is talking with Beck online, we can see her specimens of fish and butterflies on her wall and shelves. She either collected them herself or bought them. Knowing Jade, she would revel in the fact that she harvested each one herself and was around their soul when they passed. In Car, Rain & Fire, she wanted to be at Mona Patterson's house because her soul was there after she passed away.
    • She also has small cutouts of rock and roll musicians Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
      Butterflies
  • A Sky Store window can be seen on Cat's screen when the camera shows Cat's laptop.
  • Character screen names:
    • Tori - ToriVega
    • André - AndreH
    • Cat - HappyCat
    • Jade - ScissorLuv
    • Beck - GotBeck
    • Trina - PerfectTRINA
    • Robbie - RockRobster, LIL_STEPHANIE21 (fake account)
    • Sinjin - MrSkinnyJeans
    • Rex - RexAndTheCity
    • Dan Schneider & Lisa Lillien's cat - JaxieCat
    • Lisa Lillien - HungryGirl (although not seen)
    • Dan Schneider - DanWarp (although not seen)
    • Mindy Crenshaw (a character from Drake & Josh) - MindyCrenshaw (can be seen in Beck and André's chat list)
    • Tracy Katsky (ex-senior VP of original programming and development at Nick) - TKatsky (can be seen in Jade's chat list)
    • Dennis Blunden (Dan Schneider's character on Head of the Class) - D_Blunden (can be seen in Jade's chat list)
    • Ricky Smith (Dan Schneider's character in Better Off Dead...) - RickySmith (can be seen in Jade's chat list)
    • Dorothy (a very good friend of Dan Schneider's who passed away several years ago) - Dorothy143 (can be seen on Cat's chat list)
  • The word "wazz" is used for the first time. It is another term for urinating and has been used many times on iCarly as well.
  • This episode is commonly mistaken as the first time Tori makes Cat cry, while the first instance was actually Tori the Zombie.
  • The laptop Tori uses on the plane is a "PearBook," similar to MacBook.
  • When Tori kicked out Robbie from the chat for the first time, she closed the window by clicking somewhere at the upper-right part of Robbie's video chat window, but the close, maximize, and minimize buttons are at the upper-left.
  • When André says "You're on the plane? Well if I were you, I'd get in the plane.", this could possibly be a reference to comedian George Carlin, who often said this line when talking about the airlines.
  • When Robbie joins their chat for the first time you can see Cat brushing her hair, but if you keep watching she starts putting her hair in her mouth.
  • When Sinjin left Jade's house he left the chat, but he never got signed off.
  • In the end, it shows the plane is blue and red, which may be a reference to "Southwest Airlines."
  • Perez Hilton and Victoria Justice are friends in real life.
  • This is the first episode where the characters aren't shown at school and is the only episode to not feature Hollywood Arts.
  • The picture of a bunny on Cat's wall is a picture of the same bunny which was shown in "iFight Shelby Marx" on iCarly with Shelby saying it was homeless.
  • Cat was the only one who failed to contribute to the idea for the script. Tori gave virtually all the ideas, André "helped" by adding the line "Mom, there's evil in my closet!" while Beck made it dramatic by suggesting spelling evil as "EVIIIILLL!" (Cat did suggest a story about a giraffe that learns to love, but her idea was rejected).
  • Robbie's screen name, RockRobster, is a reference to the song "Rock Lobster" by The B-52's.
  • Many viewers found Rex's screen name offensive due to the fact that it is a parody of the TV Show Sex and the City.
  • On the flight information board, the words "United" and "Southwest" can be seen implying they are United and Southwest Airlines, but behind Tori's seat, it says Aloft Airlines.
  • When the camera cuts to the inside of the plane after the opening credits, a baseball stadium can be seen. It is possibly Dodger Stadium, implying that they may be in Los Angeles already.
  • The little kid's name is "Chester Kezner" and he is played by Davis Desmond.[2]
  • Chester Kezner kicks Trina's seat 10 times.
  • It is unknown why their flight home was delayed: it was possibly weather-related.
  • The plane is most likely a Boeing 737, because of the plane's exterior.
  • It is unknown if Tori managed to finished the script before the plane landed.
  • The cheerleading outfit Allie wears is near-identical to the outfits that Zoey, Nicole, and Lola wore in the Zoey 101 episode "People Auction", only swapping out the "L" for a "C" and the blue for purple.
  • When Tori is suggesting what to do for their project, her idea for the script is similar to The Chronicles of Narnia.
  • Ironies:
    • Trina could have asked the flight attendant if she could switch seats since the kid behind her was kicking her seat.
    • If Robbie kept joining the chat then Tori could've have easily just blocked him.
    • Since Trina assaulted Perez Hilton, the flight attendant would have had her arrested upon landing.


Goofs[]

  • Tori video-chatting on a plane should have caused noise which would have disturbed other passengers. Yet the stewardess never intervened.
  • When Cat is talking about the report they're doing, on Tori's computer screen, Cat has her clip in her hair. When the camera pans on Cat in her room her clip is gone. Then, when it returns to Tori's screen, her clip is back on.
  • Passengers were already roaming the plane before the captain turns the seatbelt sign off. One girl is returning to her seat as the announcement is made and Trina already has a tray of food.
  • After André's grandmother cracks his screen, you can see the screen crack show up on Tori and Beck's computers. However, unless she actually cracked the webcam lens, they wouldn't be able to see his screen cracked as the webcam would still show André himself.
  • It is shown that everyone cannot see their own webcam display box in the chat, and yet André, Cat, and Beck somehow knew what the effects looked like and commented on them.
    • There might be a setting where they can see their own display box that was not shown since Tori didn't play with any effects.
  • The exterior of the aircraft is shown in the middle of the episode, but in the middle of the episode, the plane has four engines, while at the end of the episode the plane is shown to have two engines.
  • Since Robbie used a fake screen name, he would have likely been temporarily blocked from video chatting if reported.
  • After the video chat was over, everyone, even André whose computer was broken, still appeared online.
  • When Cat asks Beck what effect he is using, the audio is not in sync.
  • Tori does not know who MrSkinnyJeans is, but he is already in her friend list.
  • Ending tagline: "Enjoy your wazz!" - Trina

Running Gags[]

  • Trina's seat being kicked by the kid sitting behind her.
  • Characters talking about Trina's pit pimple.
  • Robbie joining the chat (twice by his real screen name, and once by the fake screen name. LIL_STEPHANIE21).
  • Characters playing with the effects (mostly Cat).
  • Trina wiggling her butt in front of Tori's laptop during the video chat, freaking André and Beck out.
