Teck is the Cheese

It's the next morning and the roommates are getting ready for their meeting with Calvin, owner of Local Motion. They don't know where Teck is. They wait for him for a while, but finally they have to leave. As they are walking to the café, Colin says he hates being late and Wonder Bread (hey, he finally showed up!) says it's 8:00 so they all start running.

Amaya is being really freaking whiny (am I surprised?). I hate her.

It turns out the Teck is already there, having gone straight to the meeting from his night of clubbing. I have to say, this was a jerk move, especially since the rest of the roommates are late partially because they were waiting for Teck. Teck goes on to lie and say he couldn't sleep because he was so nervous -- no, you couldn't sleep because you were out partying all night. I have to imagine that Teck smells pretty lousy, since he's still wearing the same clothes too.

Once the roommates arrive, Calvin tells them to be on time from now on (duh!), and Colin is mad at Teck for showing them up. Calvin mentions that he might have a car for them and Wonder Bread does the whitest, most 1998 thing ever -- he "raises the roof". Oh, he is going to be such a source of amusement for me this season. It turns out that their job is to book and promote acts for this café. Calvin tells them that if they can draw fifty people they will get $300 and for 100 people, they get $700.

Let me take a moment here to say that one of my former jobs was to book and promote events. It's really not that hard to get a hundred people to show up for a free, all-ages music show, especially if there's a college or university nearby. $700, my ass.

Calvin tells them they have to do the show on Friday, but since there is no indication of what today is, this means nothing to the audience. Then the producers pull off another genius move in terms of creating conflict: they award one van to seven people. This is even better than forcing two people to take the bunk beds. Unfortunately, Justin is wearing a Hawaiian shirt, which as stated last week, I don't get. If I was in Hawaii, the LAST thing I would do is wear a Hawaiian shirt, much less a lei (which Tetanus Girl wore in an earlier scene).

Everyone piles in the van, and Wonder Bread starts singing "The Loco Motion" in this really scary voice that sounds like Regan from The Exorcist. Teck acts all crazy (get this -- he honks the horn! More than once!), and informs us that his name means "unpredictable". Um, actually it means "Goes through one place to another," so I'm not sure where he got "unpredictable."
