Episode Report Card Miss Alli: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Soup to nuts
By Miss Alli | Season 6 | Episode 7 | Aired on 01.03.2005
At the pool, Jon emerges from the changing tent in his little suit, and "hummena-hummena" is as close to describing the effect as I'm going to get. Kris follows him out. "Jon's a water polo player," she exposits simply. And then she throws in, "Dude, my man is so unbelievably hot." Hee hee. Who can argue, really? It's been a long time since I had the urge to reach back in my vocabulary for the word "hunky." They run over and hop in the pool. He throws to her, she throws back, and he throws the ball into the cross bar. It lands in the water, but in the scuffle with the goalie, it scoots into the net. Score! They collect a clue that tells them to head in their taxis to Gundel Restaurant, where there's a clue by the wine cellar. As they scurry off, Kris refers to this as "the perfect day." Yeah, you always want to wait till they're over before you make that call, sweetie.
Hornio is now pulling up to the Swim, and as Kris and Jon are leaving, she takes a moment to note, "We just played water polo in Hungary." Aw. You're so sweet. And, you really didn't. But still! It's okay because it's you, and I play favorites. Eat it, Teams Who Suck. Anyway, they try to take the cab that just dropped off Hornio, but it turns out that Hornio is holding it.
Hornio de-cabs and goes to get changed, while Kris and Jon finally find a cab outside that can take them to the restaurant. As Hornio jumps into the pool, Rebecca looks for "who is not that good" among the available players. No one yells out, "I am not that good!", unfortunately. Maybe they do in Hungarian, and she doesn't understand. Hornio swims down toward the goal with the ball. As a bunch of water polo players bob around inertly as if they're trying not to frighten the ball, Rebecca throws to El Hornio. He throws back to her. And then, quite brilliantly, Rebecca says to El Hornio, "Distract him." El Hornio does his best by saying, "Hi." Now, you have to remember that there is nothing else going on in the pool while this is happening. You couldn't distract the goalie with a stripper and a pizza. When the brilliant distraction idea doesn't work, Rebecca just throws it to El Hornio, who wings it into the goal. Yeah, that might be a slightly easier approach than subterfuge, Mata Harpy. They get out and get their clue. Their taxi driver knows the way, so they're off.
Hayden and Aaron and Spazpants arrive at the Swim next. As both teams run for it, Aaron growls, "Gonna run you down like a dog, Jonathan!" Hee hee. I hope there's a big leash and a stick. Hayden and Aaron rip the clue and choose the swimming. Victoria hesitates just slightly, causing Jonathan to yell at her some more. Really all kinds of entertaining, that. They yell, blah blah, and then he says, "I'm going to take off my underwear and jump in!" The Eyeball Preservation Society sends out emergency copies of a pamphlet called, "How To Stop The Bleeding."
