Another first-season episode that deals with heavy subject matter. In this case, eating disorders and body image. True, it isn't as sappy and emotional as all the TV movies that have come out about eating disorders, but it is pretty thought provoking. Especially when we see from one of the earlier episodes the girl, Sue Ann, struggling with her body image. Then, we see how pressure makes someone take drastic measures. And we also see, even though she is starving herself to get a date with a hot guy, the episode doesn't outright blame the guy for her disorder. In fact, it is mainly because of Blair's constant teasing and the sudden rash of hard dieting by the girls and Mrs. Garrett. Most movies and shows dealing with eating disorders in women often blame men. But, while this episode was mostly lighthearted, it also makes you think. And some people have criticized this episode for making it seem as if she only had the eating disorder for a few days, then after a talk with Mrs. Garrett, she's all cured then we never hear about it again...but who knows, maybe Sue Ann has been seeing a counselor for the rest of the season. Anyway, this is a great episode of "Facts of Life" that every young woman - and even some Hollywood starlets - should sit down and watch.
