I'm not saying it's impossible, but I have been waiting for "Fun Run" for a while. I have a feeling that it could make it pretty far in this tournament! Customer Survey has a big game this week! Let's see how it breaks down...the premier of season 4 vs. an early episode of season 5...get it on!
4.1 "Fun Run"
Cold Open
A truly amazing cold open. Michael gives a basic summary of season 3 while showing a funny shot of Jan sleeping in his bed. Michael then drives to work and runs over Meredith! This sets up an entire season of laughs! Bravo! + 2 Stars
Story
Fun Run is a two-part episode that was the season 4 premier. Michael hit Meredith with his car and then put on a 5K to raise money for Rabies Awareness. We learned a lot of new information in this episode. First, Michael and Jan are still together. Second, Ryan did end up taking the job at corporate. Third, Jim broke up with Karen after their interviews that concluded season 3. Fourth, Karen, due to the break up, quit her job in Scranton and is no longer in the show. Fifth, Jim and Pam are now dating! Sixth, Dwight killed Angela's cat, which will most likely lead to them breaking up. So much to learn! It was all gold. I loved it all. + 5 Stars
Jokes
The comedy here was excellent. From Michael running over Meredith, to Dwight killing Angela's cat, to Michael throwing up at the finish line, it was all so good. Every character was in on the action in this episode. This is not an episode to watch if you have never seen The Office, but this is a classic episode that will go down as one of the best ever. + 5 Stars

Best Quote
"Michael, 5K means 5 kilometers, not 5,000 miles" -Pam
Overall Score
12 Stars
5.6 "Customer Survey"
Cold Open
I have mixed feelings about this one. Michael lied to the office and told everyone he was getting married to Holly. Obviously a lie, Michael is caught after he calls his mother in front of everyone. It was pretty awkward, so I guess I'll give it the point! + 1 Star
Story
I suppose there is nothing wrong with this episode going up against Fun Run. Customer Survey was about Dwight and Jim investigating after finding out that their customer reviews were bad. Also, Andy and Angela decided on Schrute Farms for their wedding venue. It turned out that Kelly forged the reviews, but Michael decided not to fire her. In all, a very average episode. + 3 Stars
Jokes
I enjoyed the comedy in this episode. Dwight and Jim were very good, especially on the phones. Michael wasn't in the episode very much, which kind of brought it down. Also, a lot of time for Kelly is never good. The "Buttlicker" joke is gold, which saved the joke score. + 3 Stars
Mistakes
No mistakes found.
Best Quote
"BUTTLICKER! OUR PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN LOWER!" -Dwight

THE VERDICT
I was right about Fun Run, a perfect score! Fun Run is going to be VERY tough to beat....
FUN RUN is the better episode and will move on in the tournament by the score of 12-7
