Missions:
2: Say The Magic Word
My comments:
It was nice to see that Vince was OK, and of course we could not go a season with out seeing Jake’s butt.
I was impressed in the group's ability to trick these stars into saying the words that they wanted them to say.
What Bonnie had to say about the episode:
Tara says her winning doesn't feel so good knowing that Vince is in pain. Vince is okay, he just hurt his back a little. Dan says he's impressed with Tara's performance. Don says there's no losers in the group.
Mission 1: completed!
Each group starts walking to the Winnie and Jake runs past the new season's group and moons them. They all laugh and hug goodbye.
Roni's just got her driver's license and has only had a few hours of real driving experience , so they all thought it would be a good idea for her to start getting some more driving experience out of the entrance to the race track. Before long they seem to get lost. A police man on a motorcycle pulls them over already and Roni's a nervous wreck.
Segment #4
Roni pulls over to the side of the road. The cop says he's issuing them a citation for not having a clue. She laughs and is relieved it's not something worse. He gives her the next clue.
It says "Time to go clubbing with the stars." They think it might have something to do with caddying for celebrity golfers.
Noah says he flirts with Anne a lot and he feels like he's in the 7th grade again. Anne says they have a love/hate relationship. They all check into a local youth hostle.
Roni says she doesn't like the idea of being a caddy for the next mission because of it's racist history. She tells them that most of the time blacks were the caddies for white golfers.
Anne makes a birthday card for Noah. She says she spent the last of her money on his present.
Tara and Dan are in the Winnie alone while everyone else is in the hostle. They talk about finding soul mates. Tara thinks something might happen between them.
The boys tease Anne for hiding Noah's present under his pillow. When Noah opens it he says "thanks" in a nonchalant kind of way and it upsets Anne because she worked so hard in putting it all together and used up the rest of her money. She leaves the room in a huff.
Segment #5
The next morning, Anne laughingly complains that she hardly got any sleep because the "Whisper Twins" - meaning Tara and Dan - kept her up. Dan says Tara is a really cool girl.
Noah says they have to meet up with some guy named Al to go to the golf course. At the celebrity classic they meet Richard Karns (Al from the TV show Home Improvement).
Mission 2: Say the Magic Words
Richard tells them that as they are paired up with celebrity golfers as their caddies, they have to get the golfers to say certain words without telling them to say them. For each word they say, $100 will go to charity.
vSome of the words include: groovy baby, Dudley Doright, booger, Real World, Puck, garage, mangez-moi, silk, slice, ice skater and chicken.
Noah gets the actor Samuel L. Jackson, and he says the words without a hitch.
Tara says Roni's guy (a sports star) can't stand her for talking so much to him while he's trying to golf. Jon's guy won't talk much either. Anne is paired up with the actor Daniel Baldwin and he seems to be having fun with it all. He flirts with Anne, and she does right back too.
Roni's finally happy to get her celebrity to say all his words. She's having fun now.
Daniel tips Anne $200 and she gives him her phone number for when he's golfing in Arizona.
They raised $3,000 for charity.
Mission 2: completed!
Daniel says the next clue is on the golf ball he's holding. He then swings it into the pond. Dan dives in to try to find it but comes up with different golf balls. Daniel wave the ball at them, he had it all along in his hand. They all laugh. The ball says "Check the Third Eye Blind tape." Dan thinks they may get to play with the band.
Scenes from future episodes: wrestling in a ring, shooting rifles, rafting, lumberjack competition, dancing on a stage, a rodeo, Tara and Dan kissing, playing football, Jon's holding a baby pig and a game versus the Real World(?).
What MTV had to say about the episode:
502: CLUB SANDWICHES NOT SEALS
My gosh - what's happened to the driver of the car that spun out of control?! Here comes an ambulance, lights flashing and siren wailing. They're pulling someone out of the car - it's Vince. He can walk - but his back hurts. The paramedics strap him onto the stretcher and slide him into the back of the ambulance. Erika runs across the track and jumps into the ambulance with Vince. Meanwhile, Tara has taken the lead away from Vince and - whoosh - she finishes first. The winner! Tara confesses she feels guilty for taking first place from Vince since he was injured. Dan privately confesses that he is very impressed with Tara's driving. And that's not all...
Vince convinces the paramedics that his injuries aren't so bad - hey, I can walk just fine. Vince jumps out of the ambulance and everything is OK. Tara accepts her first place trophy and the Islands cast hits the road - good luck to everyone!
Roni takes the wheel of the Winnie - now that she's driven a race car, she thinks she can handle the Winnie. Dan helps her back out of the parking space and reminds her to use the rearview mirrors. Everyone stand back... Now Roni is getting pulled over by a cop. She's shaking - it could be her first ticket. Roni pulls the Winnie curbside and the copper sidles over to her window. He hands her a ticket - a citation for not having a clue! Hey, this ticket is a clue - "travel to Seattle to go clubbing with the stars." Hmm...
The Roadies pull into a youth hostel in Seattle and get a single room with three bunk beds - that's cozy. Noah postulates that they will probably end up being caddies - get it, "go clubbing with the stars." Roni does not want to take part in the mission, explaining, "historically, caddies were black." Yikes, that's a good point...
As everyone settles in to their new surroundings, Anne slips out for a few hours to buy Noah a gift. That's right, it's his birthday. What would a boy like Noah want? Anne decides to get the guy something very special - something she knows he will need...
That night, Noah discovers a gift on his pillow. Anne jumps on his bed as he tears the package open. Guitar strings! Remember, Noah is really attached to his instrument and he only like one type of string. Anne watches Noah's face for a reaction. Noah tosses the packet of strings on the floor, "thanks", and stretches out on his bed. Anne is stunned speechless - the ingratitude! She's pissed and let's him know it, storming out of the room. This must be the hate part of that love/hate relationship thing...
Meanwhile, Dan and Tara cuddle alone in the dark and parked Winnie. Dan asks, "do you believe that we have one true love in life?" Tara is absolutely sure of it, "the rest are just practice." Dan privately confesses that he's digging Tara's scene and something could definitely happen between them. They stroll arm and arm back into the hostel.
The next morning, Anne is the first to rise. She makes a point of waking up Dan and Tara - yeah, he's in her bed. Anne reminds the love doves, "you guys were the whisper twins last night - you kept me up for hours!" Dan and Tara apologize, "we talked all night - we've only slept for one hour!" You talked all night, huh...
A quick shower for all, not a group shower you perv, and the Roadheads motor on over to a fancy golf course for the Wagner / Dalton Charity Golf Tournament. The place is packed. Our cast strolls into the organizer's both for their assignment - yup, they're going to be caddies. But wait - isn't that Al from that show HOME IMPROVEMENT?! Yeah, he's the host and the mayor of this mission. Guess what guys, you're not just caddies today.
Each of you will be assigned five words. As you walk the course, you must get your golfer to utter the five words you have been assigned. Without telling him he must say the words. Get it? It's pretty hard. Especially once the words are assigned. Here's a sample: plaid, moo-goo-guy-pan, groovy-baby, etc. You get the idea. For every word uttered, Al (a sponsor of the event) will donate a hundred bucks to the charity on behalf of the Roadies. Well, that's nice, but we kind of need the money ourselves! Well, caddies do receive tips sometimes...
Now each roadie is assigned a celebrity golfer. Noah, meet Samuel Jackson. Anne, meet Daniel Baldwin (one of that pack of brothers). Tara, meet Chris McDonald - he was on THE TRACY ULMAN SHOW. Jon, meet Casey Sander - he's on that show GRACE UNDER FIRE. Dan, meet Rollie Fingers - he's a professional baseball player. Roni, meet Detlef Schrempf - and say that ten times fast.
Now it's a hilarious afternoon as the Roadies stroll the course and try to get their golfers to cough up the right words. You've really gotta see this one to believe it. Roni is trying to get Detlef to say "groovy baby." What's that phrase from the sixties? The guy thinks she's insane. Tara asks Chris, "what kind of pants are those?" Golf pants. No. "Plaid?" Yes, that's it! By the end eighteen holes, each Roadie has gotten his golfer to say all five words - a true miracle. That's $3000 for the charity! Not bad for a day's work. Now Daniel Baldwin gives Anne a two hundred dollar tip - hey that was nice.
He calls our cast over to a water hazard. He chips a ball into the water and explains, "your next clue is on that ball." What?! Dan rips off his pants and dives into the drink. That boy is on the ball... He struggles out of the water, soaked again, clutching the ball - but the ball is blank! Now Daniel pulls the real ball from his pocket and reads the clue aloud (what a joker): "Check THIRD EYE BLIND TAPE."
The Roadies dash back to the Winnie and grab their THIRD EYE BLIND tape from the dash - now dash off to meet the ultra cutting-edge band! Kewl...
