Episode Report Card Miss Alli: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Triumph of the Bill
By Miss Alli | Season 1 | Episode 11 | Aired on 11.27.2001
The boys get their food at the same time. Kevin insists that Drew put down the fork and use his hands. "Piece of cake, brother, piece of cake!" Kevin says encouragingly. "Good job, Joe, your pace is great," Bill says. Isn't that such a perfect contrast between these teams? Kevin's saying "piece of cake," and Bill is evaluating Joe's "pace." Hee. "Now we're at Hooters, now we're at Hooters," Kevin says as Drew works on the chicken feet. Again, I simply have to say -- hee. "Plenty of room, plenty of room," he goes on as Drew stuffs food into his mouth. You know, I have a feeling that part of the problem with eating all this stuff isn't just that there's anything wrong with the food (though the bugs look gross), but that it was all (according to the footage of the chef) fried, and it's hard to eat that much fried greasy stuff all at once, you know? At one point, Drew stops to ask how he's doing compared to Joe, and Kevin tells him to stay on task. "Eat, you fat bastard," he says, and there you have it -- a perfect circle from the first episode. "I don't wanna give you the Heimlich," Kevin says. "You're way too fat for me to get my arms around you." Drew finishes first, and returns his plate. They get the clue and run for a cab.
Joe gamely gnaws and gnaws and gnaws at the chicken, and finally finishes. They get the clue and run for a cab as well.
As they get into their cab, the Frats read that they have to get to the Temple of Heaven Park. The Guidos get into their cab, too. And somehow, some way, as the cabs pull out, the Guidos' driver manages to maneuver them a better spot, and soon we're sitting in dead traffic, with the Guidos up ahead of Kevin and Drew. Damn. Kevin points out that this is what always happens, and I have to agree. "We're done," Drew says. What he doesn't know is that Guido's driver doesn't seem to know where he's going, in particular. He's upset about it, too -- literally smacking himself in the head. Eek. Chill out, Guido Driver. The Frats' driver, on the other hand, seems to know. "This is it," Kevin says. "Taxi race." "Man, I beat him with the food, and I can't believe this," Drew despairs. As Guido struggles to explain the concept of "south gate," Drew and Kevin decide that since they've reached the park and can see the Temple, they're going to gamble on finding the right entrance, and they hop out of the cab. They run toward the park. Joe, it appears, digs the words for "south" and "gate" out of various books and relays them to the Guidos' driver. (Oh, sure. The language skills he's been insufferable about for months would have to actually be relevant for once, at the worst possible moment.) Meanwhile, Kevin and Drew run around inside the park perimeter, looking for the south gate. It appears that the Guidos' driver has figured it out. Inside the park, Drew and Kevin run for it.
