Recap: Your Gen, April 5th 2011

Guests this week were actor Bill Hunter (BB), chef George Calombaris (Gen X) and actress/comedian Celia Pacquola (Gen Y), who starred in Laid with Shaun.

Shaun wasted no time making fun at Josh’s expense, by comparing him in lack of talent to Roger Taylor from Duran Duran. He (with Stuart the Meerkat’s help) presented George with a Croque Monsieur – or a burnt cheese sandwich.

Games played included TV Spin-offs (guess the original show from the spin-off), Tell-tale Titles (guess the celebrity author) and As Quick As – which involved Tamsin Lewis running 7 laps of the studio as the timer.

The four button options in the Magic Window were great inventors: James Watt, an unknown caveman and Rubin Skells(?); plus Trust Me.

• Gen Y chose Watt, which was “What Just Happened?”, where they were shown a re-imagined Batman TV series clip, with Shaun playing the Joker and Francis as an OH&S rep. The questions then (sort-of) came from the clip.
• Gen X picked the caveman, playing “Draw That Movie”
• The BB decided on Skells and got a new game – “Guess the Guest”. While blind folded, they asked questions of the mystery guest – Glenn Robbins – who (pretended?) to disguise his voice with helium.

Shaun snuck in a quick Hindenburg reference before a round of Your Gen, which was on the topic of Redness.

For end game, a water buffalo dressed as Maurice Chevalier delivered the envelope – the challenge was “Which Team is Best at Carving an Ice Sculpture.” Due to pesky OH&S, the teams received help with the chainsawing, but could create whatever they wanted. Y made Stuart the Meerkat, X created a replica Logie for Shaun and BB made a ‘B’. For reasons best known to Shaun, BB won the 3rd Prize Trophy for Twilight Bowling 1999/2000, donated by Chris Neil of Cranbourne.

Oh, and Shaun promised to propose but never did! 🙂
