Tara's next boomerang toss is close, but no cigar. Oswald prepares to throw, and she says to him, "You're limp-wristed, too!" Oswald: "Shut up, bitch." Ha! Oh, come on, that was funny. You can totally hear a chuckle at the beginning of Oswald's retort, and then she laughs at being called a bitch, so the entire exchange suggests to me that nobody took offense. I mean, you obviously can't say that to someone you don't know, but I would completely believe this is the kind of joke you could make to Oswald with no difficulty at all, because given the way he talks about being "really, really butch," I hardly think he's going to be wounded. You also have to remember that back in the early days of ChaTaGaDa, these teams did spend a fair amount of time together, so I can believe they've got the foundation for her to make that crack without it being any sort of a deal.
Gary and Dave, approaching the Roadblock.
Tara is setting up to throw again. "This is the shot right here," Wil says. "I can feel it." And, unless it's edited funny (which is always possible), he's right, and she gets it in the circle by about an inch. They grab the clue and scoot, and now it's just Cha-Cha-Cha, trying to finish the Roadblock. "Just focus," Danny tells him. Oswald: "Danny, we're gonna be here forever." Hey, none of that with the bad attitude. "Don't say that, you're doing fine," Danny says. "I couldn't have done any better." Interesting, isn't it, that Oswald said it as if he was complaining about the task, and Danny responds to what he thinks Oswald is actually doing, which is feeling bad for being no good at it. That's friends for you, right there.
Wil and Tara head down the hill, with him toting her pack. She finally takes it back from him, and they run for it. They land on the mat and they get their paint, and Phil tells them they're in third. "I'm mad again today," she says. "What are you mad about?" Wil asks. "You quit, like, ten times in the mine," she grouses. Wil tries to be cute in saying that he's "just not cut out for mining." Do I really need to say that he doesn't achieve cute?
