The Wood

The Wood is the 18th episode of Victorious. Click here to watch the full episode. It aired February 5th, 2011.

Synopsis
Tori, Beck, Jade, and Andre are excited to hear that they'll be the stars of a new reality show called "The Wood," which is being filmed at Hollywood Arts. After the producers decided to edit together two separate phone calls making it look like Tori and Beck are secretly dating each other, the kids start staging fake fights to make the show more interesting. Things get out of hand when Jade and Tori accidentally wreck the Grub Truck operator's car instead of one from the junk yard. Meanwhile, Robbie and Trina have to work the Grub Truck after injuring Festus, the owner, but running it is harder than they first expected.

Plot


Tori and her friends are chosen to be the focus of a reality show that is going to be filmed at Hollywood Arts. The show decides to focus on the real drama at Hollywood Arts. Soon they realize that reality TV is fake after the producers distort a phone call to make it seem like Beck and Tori were dating. The phone call was really two seperate phone calls where Beck was ordering pizza and Tori was talking to her Aunt and her Aunt's puppy. After Jade sees the phone call, she attempts to 'murder' Tori. Then Tori, Andre, Beck, and Jade all are convinced by the producers that the reality show is similar to improv and they create fights/felonies for fun.

Meanwhile, Trina (who is rejected from being in the reality show) and Robbie get into an argument which injuresFestus, and as a punishment get a job at the Grub Truck filling in for Festus (the cart at Hollywood Arts that sells lunchmeals). As another improv for the reality show, Tori and Jade smash Festus's car with golf clubs, which they thought was a junk car. Lane gets them to stop, tells The Wood crew to shoot at another school, and force Tori and Jade to wheelbarrow Festus home while singing "Forever Baby" in Spanish ("Siempre Bebe").

Trivia

 * There are many references to iCarly in this episode:
 * When Jade is auditioning for "The Wood", she says less than half the things she hates, one of the things she says is the word panties. Sam from iCarly hates this word, as well.
 * Tori has an aunt named Sonya, which is the name of the personal chef Sam hired in iPromote Techfoots.
 * André says he likes to tickle his own tummy. This is similar to the kid who sent a video to iCarly who enjoyed tickling himself.
 * Andre said that Beck " made soup in his toilet". This was a segment on iCarly.
 * When Tori and Jade are pushing the wheelbarrow, it looks a lot like the street Carly rides down on her electric scooter, as well as the street Gibby and Guppy are riding down in the episode "iDo"; it is the same set.
 * Trina said that she was riding a pony wearing a bright purple hat. The bright purple hat is similar to the purple top hat the PeeWee Babies tiger wore in iDate A Bad Boy.
 * This is the first time a character actually tries to hurt another person (in this case, Jade tried to hurt Tori, although Jade says Tori was being too dramatic).
 * Jade, disliking the girl who hit on Beck, got her fired, according to her TheSlap page (this is a continuity error, as the girl is still seen working when the episodes ends although she may have just gotten fired after the episode ended.)
 * When Tori was auditioning for The Wood, she stated that the worst thing she has ever done is when she sprayed hot cheese on Cat and Danny, and then kissed Danny right in front of Cat, in "Cat's New Boyfriend".
 * Both Jade and Tori know some Spanish since they sang "Forever Baby" in Spanish
 * Although this is probably due to the fact that they live in southern California, as many southern Californians are fluent in both English and Spanish.
 * This episode premiered to 4.4 million viewers, and was the channel's most watched premiere that week.
 * Ending Tagline: "Sometimes I do it to myself." —Andre
 * Jade is seen wearing the same shirt she wears in "Cat's New Boyfriend."
 * Jade doesn't like onions on her pizza.
 * both Trina and Robbie have $40 manicures (Robbie also seems to have the more impressive one).Bgfrtrhhetht.png
 * It is shown that Sinjin likes to play golf.
 * The Janitor gave Tori a chocolate mop for Valentine's Day, but he did not give Jade. Tori uses this as an excuse to make fun of Jade.
 * Cat does not appear in this episode.
 * The car that Jade and Tori smash up with golf clubs is a 1978 AMC Concord station wagon. They were supposed to smash a 1984–1985 Honda Accord.
 * Bandre.png the scene where Jade, Beck, Andre and Tori were watching the episode of The Wood they should have been able to tell that the directors had cut the scene with Tori and Beck talking on the phone cause when Tori was talking it was night outside but when Beck was talking it was in broad daylight.
 * The camera battery changes consistently throughout the episode.
 * This is the second time Jade and Tori faked a fight. The first one was in Stage Fighting.
 * The Wood is a parody of MTV Drama The Hills.
 * The song "Former Over-Exposed Blonde" is performed by Ke$ha.

''' Running Gag: ''' When Robbie and Trina are fighting off the Grub Truck customers, Robbie yells; "I'm not Andy Samberg!" Andy Samberg is one of the cast member on SNL, and like Robbie, is notable for his hair.

Note: When Festus was being pushed by Tori and Jade in the wheelbarrow, the street they were in is the exact same street that Carly (in iCarly) rode her electric scooter in "iGo Nuclear" and its the same exact street that Gibby, Guppy and Hazel were on while getting the dollar out of the tree in "iDo", and when Sinjin talks to two girls in the Victorious episode, "Freak the Freak Out". This street is Leland Way, and it's located across the street from Nickelodeon on Sunset.

Goofs

 * In this episode, Jade says she hates tuna fish, but in the episode Robarazzi, she mentions having tuna fish for lunch while in the car with Beck.
 * On The Wood, the conversation between Tori and Beck could not have happened. When Tori is talking on the phone, it is night time in the background, but when Beck is talking, it is daylight around noon. :)
