Okay, but there should have been some indication of that. Something like when the Director of the DMV was talking at the end, he could have reintroduced the groups, i.e. "New Directions, singing 'I Had the Time of My Life', 'blah', and 'blah'" (hold for applause) "The Warblers, singing 'Hey Soul Sister', 'blah', and 'blah' ", Etc.

I think we just saw one sample number from each of the other two teams. Last year each team supposedly did three numbers at sectionals.
Yeah. I think they basically have 15 minutes or so to fill. (I'm pretty sure they don't draw an audience like that for an ostensibly ten minute show.

Perhaps, but let me ask: "Would you have then be mad to not hear the Hipsters singing 'School's Out for the Summer' or whatever? I think it would be unnessecary, and probably even more annoying.

No. I would have understood why they did it.
Didn't at one point, when Will was yelling at ND for the umteenth time, say something about working together for six minutes? I don't have a DVR, but I thought, well, that's just one song, seems short for Sectionals. Then ND did two numbers, while the other two groups did one.
I was also confused by the age of the Hipsters, as I thought all of this was for high school glee clubs. I know, logic not driving the Glee train.
Curt continues to break my heart. And I really really really want to see Puck and New Girl beat up Krawalky (or whatever the bully's name is. I have a hard time with names on this show.).

I was confused by this, too. At first I thought they were Vocal Adreneline in old people costumes and then I remembered that they didn't tangle with VA until Regionals last year and then I was jut confused.
I thought the Santana number was fun, but Quinn and Sam were painfully boring. And even after Schue's chit chat with Emma, he didn't really do anything but switch new people into his same boring ballad/uptempo number formula he always uses.

Right? Even down to bringing in Mercedes to belt out a couple of lines at the end.
They mentioned something about their competition for Regionals being the private school and a continuing education or adult education or something a month or so ago. I wish they would focus more on the competition with other schools and less on internal dynamics, so I perked up a little when that came up.
I actually really enjoyed Glee this week, but I think it all comes down to my being the one and only unconditional fan of that show. It just makes me happy.
Haven't seen the last 15 minutes yet (stopped the DVR just as ND was about to perform), but my thoughts:

I think that would be too easy. Karofsky would have a reason to make himself the victim. And while he's a victim in a way (of a homophobic society), beating him up doesn't help matters. Unless, maybe, Karofsky starts something with Lauren and gets his head handed to him.
Kudos to the Warblers for making "Hey Soul Sister" almost tolerable (I hate that song!). But they also deserve some credit for the choreography. Not a lot -- it's not unlike something a '60s vocal group (maybe the Temptations or the Pips?) might have done, only with more backup singers.
Some great lines. My favorite has to be Brittany's, "I thought that meant I was stupid. A-dolt-ery."
Schu should have invited Carl to attend with Emma. It would have fit with his epiphany at the end of the Rocky Horror episode.
Kurt may be facing a fundamental dilemma. He's safe at Dalton but at the price of being forced into a machine. He can be a lot more individual and flamboyant at McKinley but at the price of taking a lot of grief even without threats from Karofsky. Neither option is exactly good for him.
Rachel's diva reaction was so perfectly in character. Especially because she comes off as a bratty kid and not someone who's earned divahood. I mean, she's no Tina Turner.

I feel like if he'd had three tickets he might have? But I totally see why he wanted Emma there, and he had to sit out Sectionals last year, so there's no way he'd want to miss it again.
Blaine and the Warblers have now made not one but TWO terrible songs almost good through Glee-ification! Teenage Dream and Hey Soul Sister. I appreciate this immensely.
They weren't good enough to make me enjoy Hey Soul Sister, but I liked their version of Teenage Dream better than Katy Perry's (which I also like, unlike the Train song).
It is kind of sad that Emma had to opt out of attending Sectionals for Carl's sake, given that she's been a secondary mentor figure to a lot of the Glee kids and in fact has kept their best interests in mind better than Will has on a number of occasions. It's not fair that she has to give up her closeness with the whole Glee Club just because Will sponsors it.
