On the last ‘regular’ episode of TAYG for 2010, Michael Veitch joined the Baby Boomers, Eddie Perfect was on team Gen X and Lucy McIntosh on Gen Y. Throughout the show, a Rupert Bear sat on Shaun’s desk. He claimed each team had won 8 episodes this year, but my count said X is up one.
Shaun wasn’t particularly convinced “he’s a funny guy” before strutting his stuff on the “catwalk.”
First up was Who Goes There?, aka Quo Vadis. The Camberwell Girls College Choir sung the introduction to What’s a Doodle Do? During the game, Shaun had to convince Josh that he liked him, but wasn’t very successful.
The four button choices consisted of Wistfulness, Enya, Gravity and Trust Me.
- Gen X chose Gravity, playing Fallen Stars – matching the celebrity with the thing that brought them down. Charlie managed to convince Shaun to award a point for matching Fergie with money, even though “toe sucking” was the answer.
- Gen Y picked Enya which was Name That Tune – all songs from movies.
- The BB (unwisely?) decided on Trust Me, playing Porridgey-didge. Amanda volunteered to be the one held above the vat of porridge and due to a few poor answers, Amanda was due to be dropped in it. But she managed to hold on to the device and therefore was saved.
The Your Gen round was about a millionaire by-day, caped-crusader by-night: James Packer! No, Batman. In the end-game (worth half a million points) teams had to compete to see who was the best generation at landscaping. Shaun insisted you couldn’t have a garden without soil. Gen Y won the 2009 Australia and New Zealand Air Guitar Championships trophy, donated by Clay Connelly of Deer Park. This was even after the BB threatened to decapitate Rupert!
I realise this was the last episode for the year, but I wish they would stop putting models on the Gen Y team. They are mostly quite boring.
As a Gen Y, I often feel let down by Josh and his guest. I can’t believe they couldn’t identify 2001 A Space Odyssey!
I think the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme is something that everyone has heard, but don’t necessarily know where it comes from because it is used all over the place in other things. A couple of months ago I wouldnt have known where it came from either 🙁
