Show 5: Ye Olde Colonial Episode

Losing power in the doghouse gave Ruff "the most brilliant idea in the history of television." All he needed was a $250,000,000 advance from his boss, Henry, to buy a time machine to send the whole cast back in time...way back...to 1627! Dressed as colonists, the cast members abandoned their videogames and cell phones for log sawing, oven starting, jaw harping, goat tending, and lessons in colonial life.

This group challenge pitted the boys against the girls. Each team had to find out the mystery of "resolved white." The boys discovered that "resolved white" was the name of a colonial boy; they earned 50 points for that and another 50 points for winning the log off race. The girls earned 50 points for winning the corn mash relay. Both teams won 25 points for milking a goat and 50 points for pitching cow dung.

For putting on a brave face in the face of poop, Julia won 5 bonus points. Anna earned 10 points for good sportsmanship and teamwork, but in the end the boys won the challenge in a three-way tie. They opened their prize - a batch of their dirty socks and an old-fashioned washing basin and board. They were none too excited about being up to their elbows in suds. Thanks, Ruff!
