My 10yo son just started watching it and I noticed two things while watching the 2nd episode. A. HROT has really changed the way I think and view things and B. I wonder how today's Disney would view this 2005 Episode:
A beauty pageant is held at the Tipton Hotel and Zack and Cody find interest in the contestants. Cody meets one of the contestants, Rebecca, and has a liking to her. Cody then enters the competition, hoping to get close to Rebecca. He then disguises as a girl named Tyreesha, who previously quit the competition. However, Cody then drops out of the competition because he wants Rebecca to win the pageant. So, Zack stuffs him in a closet backstage & takes his place. Cody is soon set free, then runs on stage to fight Zack, disqualifying them. Rebecca wins the competition.

- Cody dresses up like a girl in a beauty pageant
- Rebecca says, "If you were a boy, I'd kiss you
- Typical heterosexual tropes themes
- Zero LGBTQ+ representation
