Hey everybody, this reminds me of a story. Only two people in the world know this, but this one time, I was in rehearsals for this play my friends and I were going to perform for the Duke of Athens upon his marriage to the Amazonian queen, when this mischievous fairy named Puck gave me a donkey head. It scared all my friends away, but then the queen of the fairies totally fell in love with me, which was kind of weird but I went with it anyway. But then she got all distracted and gave away her Indian changeling to Oberon, the king of the fairies, which was all good in the end because he then made her fall out of love with me and also transformed my head back to normal. There were also these other four young people of a higher social class who were running around nearby, but I didn't have much to do with them. Anyway, that all really happened.
For the next round, Tyson is going after black, and J.T. and Brendan whine that everyone is against them. Brendan says it's not like their team has an advantage, since no one here has any kind of experience with throwing metal balls at ceramic tiles. Cut to Douche standing next to Taj. He raises his hand: "I have!" I'm sure the metal ball ceramic tile station was his second stop on that kayaking trip. With that, the contestants throw. Sierra breaks a red tile, Brendan breaks a white tile, and Tyson breaks nothing. Ha ha ha. After a brief tile-busting montage in which we see Sierra have quite a bit of luck and Taj cheering after breaking her first tile, we have white and black with two tiles left and red with just one. Debbie is up for black, and she's aiming for white. Stephen and Douche are both aiming for black. Thanks to Douche's vast experience of throwing metal balls underhand, he is the only one who breaks a tile. Up next are Erinn, J.T., and Taj, and J.T. promises Erinn that if she knocks red out, he'll intentionally miss her team's tile. Unfortunately for J.T., he chose to say this right in front of Taj, who goes running over to aim for the black team instead of white. J.T. then switches his throw to red. But then they go back to their original positions, so I have no idea what that was about, but it's absolutely wonderful to see when J.T. and Taj both miss and Erinn takes the red team out for good, much to Douche's vocal displeasure. Brendan smiles.
Sierra and Brendan are up next, and Sierra misses black's last tile while Brendan breaks one of white's. Erinn and J.T. throw next, and both miss. So now it's up to Debbie and Stephen. Or not, since they both miss, too. So it's up to Sierra and Brendan again. Sierra misses, and Brendan connects, but only takes out a corner of the tile. It doesn't shatter completely, so white is still in the game despite Brendan's premature victory dance. J.T. and Erinn are back up, and J.T. misses. Erinn pulls a Brendan and takes out half of the black tile but it still somehow manages to stay up. Stephen and Debbie are up next, but both fail at being team heroes and miss. Sierra and Brendan are up, and Sierra is so close, but no cigar. Brendan, on the other hand, connects with the rest of the white tile and wins it for his team.
