FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT
*Sighs* and I just cleaned my toilets today too, now they may get dirty again depending how much this ep makes me feel like puking.
DUEL!!
LIFE POINTS: 8000
Heh, I was right... Fluttershy doesn't seem to be able to knit too well (Just like I portrayed in Starfleet Season 5)
-No damage
Ha! I love the way Rarity is denied help from all those ponies, it kinda gets her back for BABY CAKES...
-No Damage
Just for fun, I'll throw my Starfleet Ponies into it. (Unable to help her)
Lightning: "I'm due for a major conference with Starfleet Generals, and tons of reports to review."
Starla: "I have to teach Astrology at the Starfleet Accadmy today, and I have to take Shining Light (Her and Lightning's baby son) with me"
Buddy Rose: "I have to weed and fertilize my garden before it rains."
Artie: "I'm hosting a gathering at my gallery today."
Rhymey:
"I'm due to work at my Cafe,
I'm sorry, but I'm too busy today."
Dyno: "Sorry, Chica, we've just struck a new haul or ores.
Myte: "Si, we also have to reinforce the mine supports or the whole place could fall in."
"Clothes make the Pony" Rarity demonstrates her shallowness again. (You have to look a certain way to be accepted)

Fluttershy puts on the suit, and then tries to put on a RARITY act? Gag!

"I think I need a new character"
Oh, for crying out loud! That's all I need to make me sicker, and another reason I don't add too much characterism to characters in the first place. (Just keep it PLAIN and simple... ONE TRAIT and try to STICK WITH IT as much as you can) and a VALLEY GIRL STYLE?!! UUUUUUGGGH!!! (I'm not too fond of Valley girls, they're usually very snooty, snobbish, and often disrespectful)

Oooh... a gothic pony.
Hmm... Fluttershy's gothic look, I like it... despite my objections to too many characteristics. I'll let this one slide.
-No Damage
Uh-huh, just as I suspected... Fluttershy's lost her mind and actual character again, now where have I seen this before.... um... oh yes... PUTTING YOUR HOOF DOWN...
Just as usual, these moronic mules never reflect upon past lessons they learned in previous seasons, and repeat the same mistakes over, and over again.
Much as I enjoy how much their proving me right, and pounding their friendship lessons home, I still have to dock it for annoying me...

LIFE POINTS: 6300 -----> 5800
Twilight just lost more points for forgetting PUTTING YOUR HOOF DOWN herself... (Despite she wasn't actually IN the episode, surely her friends would have told her this)

LIFE POINTS: 5800 -----> 5600
Much as I don't like Fluttershy's OOC, I do approve of the way she shut the friends out the door (Like I would if I wasn't interested in what people had to say)
-No Damage
Okay, the Terminating the Trio... Now Fluttershy has officially developed Pinkie Pie's ability to get someplace else quickly, as well as the change of costume.
So far she's adapted Rarity's persona, Pinkie's swiftness, the valley girl attitude, and the gothtaculer... WAY TOO MANY characteristics in one (thought I kinda like the goth)
Again, this why I don't like OVERDEVELOPING characters and giving them too many traits, it's leads to chaos and stupidity, as well as pure lameness for my preferences.

LIFE POINTS: 5600 -----> 4600
UGH!! And Even at the end... it's all good or all bad... but they can't make up their pony minds, not to mention Fluttershy STILL unleashed those hidden characteristics.
BLAAAAAAAAARG!!

FINAL SCORE: 3600 (Not liking the episode)
I thought it seemed similar to Putting Your Hoof Down.

And people accuse ME of copying off my own self (Rewriting previously made fics of mine into the Ponyverse)
Idiots!
I was thinking the same thing, that this was a lesson she already learned in 'Putting your hoof down'.

People may say it's different... but the fact is no matter what differences, the same mistake is being repeated, which means the lesson was pounded home.

Similar, yes. The same, no. Their similarities are only on the surface. It's like the sentences "I have won baseball" sounds the same as "I have one baseball". Without context, they sound the same. But with context, the meanings change. And the differences actually make it a different message. In "Putting Your Hoof Down", the lesson was about being able to tell the difference about being assertive and being a bully. In "Fake It 'Til You Make It", the lesson is about relying on one's own confidence.

You'll have to do better than THAT I'm afraid... (It's not different enough to me)
