Episode Report Card Miss Alli: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Enjoying the glory of Darwin
By Miss Alli | Season 9 | Episode 10 | Aired on 05.02.2006
Monica cries at the mat. Joseph instructs her to cheer up, which still isn't helping. She tells him she's fine, and that if he would stop talking to her, she'd be less upset. Which, reluctantly, I also think is often true, despite the fact that at this point, she is definitely into "toughen up" territory.
BJ jumps. T-Tow count during the jump: 2. "He's so damn corny," Yolanda says on the ground. And...exactly. And the second "T-Tow" definitely comes off as "Did you miss the first one, camera guy? I got another one for you!" Jeremy, sort of bored, says, "They both have their unique personalities." This seems to bring to mind the idea of flirting with Yolanda, and Jeremy hasn't hit on anyone in a leg or two, it appears, so he tells her that if she weren't with Ray, he'd be all over her. "Oh, yeah?" she asks, not entirely unamused, but...still entirely amused, if you see what I mean.
BJ lands. Jeremy admits that "that was pretty cool." BJ and Tyler open the next clue, which tells them to drive about 20 miles to a wildlife park and find something called the Magnetic Termite Mounds. That is a mouthful. I have no joke, because there are too many concepts. It's like, "Hey, that sounds like a wooden statue of Jessica Simpson's chest with, uh...magnets on it." I can't even begin to imagine. Phil explains that the idea is that termites have built these mounds, and they all point toward magnetic north. That officially gives these particular insects a better sense of direction than I have. Not that I particularly value a sense of direction, given that one of my friends called me this week from another state and led with the line, "First, we have to figure out what city I'm in." Oh, yes, I'm serious. ["And no, it wasn't me. For once." -- Sars] Anyway, at the termite mounds, they will find another clue. As BJ and Tyler leave, Tyler tries to throw some kind of a thumbs-up to MoJo, which is...you know, if you're going to do it for personal reasons, then just own it, dude. Joseph is having none of it, and lets Tyler know. In the car, Tyler mocks Joseph for being angry. Again, own it, you know? Don't act like taking offense is beneath you when you did it out of spite.
Joseph asks Monica if she's getting all ready to jump, and she says, "Yeah, I'm pumped," and he makes fun of how she doesn't sound pumped, and he calls her a brat, and they continue to bicker, and thanks to the very smart camera guy, we see that their hourglass runs out while they're standing there arguing, and they just keep arguing. Finally, he notices, and she takes the Roadblock, giving him a smooch as she goes.
