    Why in the world would Rachel and Kurt want to go visit their ex bfs lol. Salt on the wound. It’s nice to see Amber back!

    Just saw RM’s latest twitter Q&A. Did he just confirmed Blaine is not going to New York next year? (And I haven’t even recovered from The Break Up yet!)

  • Axxxel

    Me neither…not recovered yet. Seeing Kurt and Blaine singing and dancing together in one of the promo’s still leaves me with an awkward feeling…

    If Blaine is not going to New York this can mean a lot :
    - no New York story next Season
    - New York is still in Glee but Kurt is not in Glee anymore and is travelling around the world together with Blaine, helping in charities. In other words, no Blaine in glee
    - Blaine is still in Glee, but goes to L.A. and reconciles with Kurt, who moves to L.A , leaving Rachel behind.
    - Blaine is still in Glee, but stays in Lima and takes over the Glee club but without Kurt

    Have you seen the 2nd trailer of Chris Colfer’s movie “Struck by Lightning” ? Much better than the first one… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-brKDZWhobQ

  • jennyl2

    Yes I saw it and I was very impressed. Chris was definitely not Kurt in the trailer. The lines were funny too. Can’t wait to see the whole movie :).

    Gleek Out Brazil has been providing VERY accurate spoilers (Ryan confirmed quite a few in his Twitter Q&A last night), and they just confirmed another: http://gleekoutbr.tumblr.com/post/34171915589/the-homeward-bound-home-spoiler-i-assume-the-first

    They WILL be doing Phillip Phillips’ “Home,” mashed up with “Homeward Bound”!

  • MargieIdol

    And the “Home” juggernaut continues. I don’t know when this is supposed to happen but if it happens around when the album comes out and with Home near the top of the charts, it could be a bump to album and or single sales. His management is definitely doing something right.

  • GleeBunny

    They’ve said this will be episode 8, the Thanksgiving episode and Sectionals, so late November? 

  • idolgleek92

    I believe Ryan just did not want to spoil that. What’s the point of Blaine’s whole arc this year if he just 100% confirms (on Twitter of all things) that Blaine will end up in NY? I think a lot of people are assuming it and while I too expect him to end up in NY, I understand why Ryan doesn’t want people thinking things are automatic. It’s like how the actors now are all like “gee, I don’t know if Rachel and Finn will end up together” when we all know they will eventually. Besides, Ryan loves trolling on Twitter.
