The 10 Worst The Big Bang Theory Episodes
8. The Relaxation Integration (Season 11 Episode 3)
Sheldon struggles to find the perfect wedding date and it is slowly driving him into madness. Seeing what the stress of wedding planning is doing to him, Amy tries to get him to learn to relax. Raj and Stuart, meanwhile, are competing for the attention of Ruchi, Bernadette's new co-worker.
Why it sucks: This episode just feels so painfully recycled and, to be honest, a little bit insulting to the fans who have stuck with the show. Raj and Stuart's storyline about competing over a woman feels like a copy and paste job to the earlier seasons when it was Raj and Howard competing for a woman's affections. It feels like the writers felt they could get away with swapping out Howard for Stuart and that we wouldn't notice.
What doesn't suck: Watching Sheldon slowly descend into madness is always good fun and it was refreshing to see the writer's try something new with Laid-back Sheldon. Saying that, they ever so slightly overuse the gag and it loses its potency after a while. His story about how he lost his flip flops was also quite fun.
