Search Party Season 1, Episode 68: Surfer's Paradise, Australia (2)

Search Party Marathon (Honolulu)

Search Party makes its bow with several back-to-back episodes featuring cast members from the syndicated series Baywatch Hawai'i. Two three-person teams, the Red and the Blue, compete against each other for prizes, yes (they're on the modest side), but mostly just for the fun of it. Initially the competition was in three rounds: the Surf & Turf, each portion worth 500 points; the Scavenger Hunt, either the Silver Screen or Sight-Seeing variety, where teams are usually awarded 300 points for each completed item or task (with bonus points often added); and the Search Party Scramble, a wild final competition which is always extremely silly and usually extremely messy. It's usually worth 2000 to 3000 points. Alert viewers with basic math skills will note that the points awarded for the Scramble are always sufficient to win the game, but somebody keeps score all the way through anyway. On later installments of the show, the Surf & Turf round is more or less combined with the Scavenger Hunt.

Surf and Turf round: Surf: Slap Happy Duck Paddle--In the pool, the object is to whack as many of the nine floating ducks as possible out of your end and into the opponent's, using ping-pong paddles. There is much illegal use of the hands and Scott Lasky resorts to tackling opponents. Referee Art Mann initially declares Red the winner, then reverses himself, saying Blue won by a 4-3 score. Turf: Ball & Chain Bowling Brawl--2 team members have a ball and chain attached to their legs and, playing tag-team style, alternately try to knock over martini glasses protected by a goalie, the third player on the team. Goalie Carol and Scott get into it: she pulls on his pants and he stomps her feet! Red wins. Silver Screen Scavenger Hunt: 1. Find a Fidel Castro lookalike. 2. Get a toddler to do an impression of a vicious dog--Unlike Blue, Red finds a real kid to do the task. 3. Convince a tourist to teach the team a jig a la Lord of the Dance. 4. Find someone with the most gold. 5.

Surf & Turf Round: Surf: Dog and Pony Pool Show--In the pool, player 1 must dive through a series of three hoops while carrying a ball. That ball is then given to player 2 who throws it to waiting player 3 on a bridge above. The balls get larger in size on each successive attempt, beginning with a tennis ball and ending with a large beach ball. Red has trouble shooting and catching. Blue wins 3-1. Turf: Fruit Flipper Flip Off--Using swim fins, player 1 flips fruit to player 2, who catches it in a bucket on his head. It's then put in a kiddie pool where player three mashes it with her feet to make juice, the most juice winning. Actually some pretty good catches are made here. Red makes substantially more juice for the win. Silver Screen Scavenger Hunt: 1. Locate someone or something that has been in outer space--Sets off a pretty lame search for tourist ""aliens."" 2. Get two famous people to argue--Red pits ""Greg Louganis"" against ""Steve Austin."" Blue finds a genuine ex-wrestler

Red trounces Blue 14-6. Turf: Beach Ball Balancing Beach Hop--Two players from each team get into a hula-hoop together and carry a beach ball down a course without using their hands. The other players try to bombard the opposition with various objects. Meanwhile, the beach balls get progressively smaller each trip the teams make. Did we hear a bit of profanity from Natalia?

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Florida Iceberg Express--Player 1 is on a float in the pool. He is pulled across the pool by player 2, who then loads as much ice as she can on player 1's lap. Player 3 pulls them back and collects the ice, the team having the most winning. Scott and Jacob get the big chill here. Red wins. Turf: Sand Sucking Semi--Players 1 and 2 each grab a leg and go with player 3 wheelbarrow style down a course full of objects that must be picked up and put on 3's body. When they reach an orange player 3 must take a bite; when they reach a (toy) alligator he must grab it with his mouth. Again Jacob and Scott do the dirty work as the wheelbarrows. Blue wins. Sight-seeing Scavenger Hunt: 1. Find the fountain of youth--Blue finds an older guy to spit out some water, then through the magic of television he's transformed into a child. Red gets a little boy and girl to strike a fountain pose, then spout some water. 2. Find someone with the darkest tan and write an ""E!"" on

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Vitamin E!--25 oranges are in the pool; 10 of them contain metal letter ""E""'s. Player 1 is blindfold, but must find oranges and hand them off to player 2, or rather stuff them in their mouths. They are then taken to player 3 poolside, and handed off once again by mouth. Player 3 searches for the ""E""'s. First team to accumulate 5 wins. Some nice-looking mouth passes here. Red barely noses out Blue 5-4 Turf: Beach Ball Boxing Derby--It's soccer, except with a beach ball and you can use ONLY your boxing glove-covered hands. A.J. score first on a nice move and Steven plays well in goal. But Blue scores on a power play after a penalty is called on A.J., who got on top of Scott in a scrum, slightly injuring him! The teams are wearing out in this defense-dominated game, so the next goal wins. A.J. nails it for the Red victory. Silver Screen Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Get a tourist to leave a lipstick kiss on every teammate--The beach is full of available kissers.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Poison Ping Pong Rampage--Wearing flippers on their hands, the teams try to knock 100 ping-pong balls over a net from their side of the pool to the other. Michael cheats by pushing the balls under the net, but his tactic is soon imitated by the other competitors. Red wins on the basis of visual evidence rather than an actual count. Turf: Pass the Drink--A favorite on Search Party. Wearing bathing caps with a plastic glass on top, teammates transfer drinks from one glass to another to another to a measuring cup. Blue team's Melissa has a very good pouring technique but Red makes a great comeback to win. Scavenger Hunt: 1. Find marionettes and reenact a soap opera scene--Both teams find real marionettes to work with, and since both teams also include a real-life soap star, it's easy from there. 2. Form a mariachi band and sing ""Give My Regards to Broadway""--This is similar to almost all the other musical tasks ever done on SP in that the result is awful.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Bobby's Big Balloon Blowout--Fifteen balloons are in the pool and several of them contain ping-pong balls with the letter ""E"" on them. Players must get the balloons out of the water to a teammate who will pop the balloon the only way they seem to know how to on Search Party--with the butt. Stacy and Carol do their teams' busting, which proves to be not so easy. Red nips Blue 3-2. Turf: Swim-Fin Slip Disc--Flag football played with a flying disc while wearing fins. Michael and Shane make nice diving catches for scores, though one is disallowed. Michael is very competitive in leading the Red team to victory. Sight-seeing Scavenger Hunt: 1.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Ross' Jumbalaya Rubber Relay--The relay goes from player 1 in a kayak to player 2 on a surf bike to player 3 on a big-wheel water bike, all the while picking up rubber chickens and fish. Jamal of the Red team (a female, by the way) forgets the rules and picks up the items with her hands instead of using oars, but Blue wins anyway.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Island Hopping Balloon Toss--Players 1 and 2 hop off of an island to grab balloons in the pool, then get back on the islands before throwing the balloons to player 3 at poolside, who catches them and pops them with a toothpick over a pail, where the water inside is collected. Once off the islands players have difficulty getting back on. The throwing and catching is rough, also, as several balloons sail way too far. Red wins. Turf: Dribbling Beach Ball Basket Toss--A basketball-like game where a big beach ball is tossed through a hula hoop held by a teammate. Scott Lasky is an absolute animal on offense and defense. Blue wins 7-4, even though Red is awarded a special 2-point goal on a court-length shot. Scavenger Hunt: 1. Find a couple that's been married the shortest length of time--Both teams find couples wed only four days, but Red's couple was married a few hours later in the day! 2.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Swimming Pool Sumo--Two teammates get in an inner tube and try to push the other team's duo out of a circle in the pool, two out of three ""falls"" wins. Scott is a wild man in this event, leading to a Blue victory 2-0. Turf: Fruit Salad Soccer--As Art explains, it's like soccer except for using a bunch of apples and oranges instead of a ball and the players wear fins on their feet. Lasky and Judson seem to have an old score to settle from the previous game and wrestle each other to the ground. Blue prevails again. Marissa allows that she and Adrienne did well at the game because ""we've worked with a lot of fruits."" Sight-Seeing Scavenger Hunt: 1. Translate hieroglyphics from The Bold and the Beautiful and Walker, Texas Ranger. Luckily a nearby aquarium provides some handy hieroglyphics and other necessities for the Hunt. 2.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Heave, Gab and Ho--Player 1 pulls player 2 in an inner tube through the pool while 2 grabs items (beach balls, toys, etc.) out of the water. Each team's third player is in an inner tube also, trying to impede the other team with a super-soaker. When a team reaches the edge, a player dives back in and swims to a raft with the items. Or something like that. Lasky finds himself in a very enviable position with Brandy. Blue nips Red 8-7, but the accuracy of that score is highly questionable. Turf: Hop, Pop & Drop--First players start out hopping down a course with whipped cream-filled balloons between their knees. They ""hand off"" to second players, only using legs. Balloons are then delivered to the third players, who pop them by the preferred Search Party method: with the butt. Blue wins 5-4, aided by the excellent hopping technique of Brandy.

Surf & turf round: Surf: Movie Trivia Pool Plunge--Art throws a bottle with a movie trivia question inside into the pool. Player 1 retrieves it and gives it to player 2 who reads the question. Player 3 then goes into the pool for the answer, which can be found in the form of any number of pool toys. (Example--Q: What was Ahab's opponent? A: A whale.) Red team goes first, gets three correct answers in three minutes. Even with some help from Art, Blue teams just falls short of that mark. Turf: Beach Ball Volley-Brats--Volleyball played with a beach ball and paddles. Points are scored when a ball hits the ground or goes out of bounds, so the team with the fewest points wins. Actually it's an interesting variation on the real game. Nikki, the tallest player on either side, is a standout in Blue's 7-4 win. Sight-seeing Scavenger Hunt: Takes place in the Negril Craft market. 1. Find something really ""ackee"" and make something out of it--Ackee is fruit familiar to the locals. A.J. mak

Surf & Turf round; Surf: Floating Golf Green of Doom--Player 1, in the pool, tosses ""golf balls"" to the other two players poolside, who attempt to hit them onto the floating greens. Velcro balls are worth one points, the plain ping-pong balls are worth two. As Art Mann notes, ""Tiger Woods has nothing to be afraid of."" Red wins 12-10. Turf: Super Duper Scooper Trooper--Player 1 uses an ice cream scoop for a melon baller, then tosses the balls to player 2, who catches them in a bucket. Player 2 knocks them over a volleyball net to player 3, who catches the dwindling melon balls in a basket on his or her head. With the score tied 1-1 and the game going nowhere, Art lets the players take the baskets off their heads, and the next catch by Blue makes them the winner. Scavenger Hunt: 1. Act out a scene from your favorite film genre--Both teams independently come up with a shootout scene from a western. Their efforts make one reflect that it's not only great minds that think alike. 2.

Those players then split open the melon without using their hands, then gather and spit seeds into a cup on the head of player 1. Lasky does a fearless, or foolish, head bash of the watermelon. Blue wins 10 seeds to 4. Surf: Pool Bottom Line--The Price Is Right in the pool. Art has lined up several souvenirs at poolside.

Find a girl with an English accent and get her phone number--A couple of nice-looking women are found, but are they English? 2.

Surf & Turf round: 1. Backward Basket Balloon--Player 1 throws balloons from the jacuzzi at one end of the pool to player 2 at the other end, who must throw them through a basketball goal from the bottom up. Player 3 must catch the balloons as the come up through the goal for them to count as a score, and that doesn't prove easy to do. As Art observes, there's ""a lotta cheatin' goin' on."" Red wins, no score announced. 2. Beach Ball Boxing Derby--Four balls are in play as contestants knock them toward goals while wearing boxing gloves. Basically ""soccer wearing boxing gloves...anything goes."" Red wins 5-2, a surprise, since Scott with his Blue team is usually more competitive in this type of contest. Silver Screen Scavenger Hunt: 1. Cheer up a miserable traveller--Pretty lame. 2. Find E!'s number one fan in Miami--Done easily enough 3. Feed a dirty bird--People take the place of birds here.

Surf: Groucho's Balloon Snappers--One player from each team tries to score goals by knocking (with a paddle) balloons through a hula hoop held by a teammate. The third teammate plays defense. Once the balloons are through the hoop the goalie must pop them with flippers on their feet. The shooting player wears a Groucho nose and glasses for no apparent reason. Red wins 5-4. Sight-seeing Scavenger Hunt: 1. Roll a cigar Cuban style--Red tries rolling up seaweed in their instruction card. Blue's Scott Lasky has another idea.

A beach ball is knocked toward goals by players with ""noodles"" (the flotation device) while they wear swim fins. The beach location was still showing the effects of Hurricane Lenny (beach umbrellas capsized, various other debris.)

Turf: Flying Saucer Chucker Sucker--Two players from each team don footwear with suckers on the bottom and collect plastic flying discs with then. They then try to throw the discs through a hoop held by the team's third player. Red annihilates Blue 18-9. Sight-seeing Scavenger Hunt: 1.

Surf: Storm of the Century--Pool basketball is played with a shooting team member in an inner tube while the teammates can only propel him or her with water. No hands can touch the tube, the shooter or the ball, except for the shooter's. It prove very difficult to score a basket in this fashion. Even an overtime period produces no baskets, so for the second overtime it's hands-on, anything goes. Blue scores to win. Siver Screen Scavenger Hunt: 1.

They then pick out seeds with their mouths and spit them into a cup on the head of player 3. Lasky has played this game before, and once again he uses a tremendous head bash to split the melons.

Surf & Turf round: Surf: Ball Pounding Saucer Scoop--A very loose variation of baseball. A pitched beach ball is batted with the arm. Players run to the bases and collect flying discs at each one. The rules are rather vague and the action is confused. Ricky makes a big hit but Scott pulls an unassisted double play, resulting in an apparent Blue win. But Sean claims he was never tagged and made it all the way home. Art reviews a videotape and reverses his decision, giving the win to Red. The whole thing is so confusing that Art vows it will never appear on Search Party again. They show an old clip, allegedly from the 1970's, of the last time they tried this game. The only highlight is the sight of Priscilla in an outrageously sexy and skimpy faux-coconut shell bikini. Sight-Seeing Scavenger Hunt: Task 1.

They all wear one T-shirt too, for good measure. Red stumbles across the finish line first. Blue team is slowed up when they fall down in a pile and Scott is confronted with Kathleen's bare breast in close proximity to his face. 2. Search for someone to eat the most crackers and whistle the Australian national anthem--A difficult task. 3. Remove underwear without taking off shorts--Blue finds a guy and Red finds a boy who both complete this task. 4. Search for the most Australian phrases. Art Mann tries Australian lawn bowling while the teams are at work. Score for this round is Red 2000, Blue 500. How this was determined is not explained. Scramble: Beach Ball Boxing Derby--A large beach ball is batted by players wearing boxing gloves towards a large goal area. First

Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Win the mule and cow race--Red wins a coin flip and chooses to ""race"" the cow. In this case it just means each contestant leading the animal on a leash up and down a short course. The supposedly stubborn mule quite docilely goes through its paces while the cow turns out to be the obstinate animal. Red loses badly. 2. Search for an adult to wear a diaper on the beach--They always manage to get someone to do this stuff, don't they? The participants balk at sucking on pacifiers, though. 3. Search for someone who will eat the most phone book pages--Blue's guy wins for them, stuffing 15 pages in his mouth, two more than Red's competitor. Nobody appears to have actually swallowed any pages. 4. Seach for someone who will give you the most clothing off of his or her back--Red finds a biker outside a cafe who willingly strips down to his shorts on the street--and then, while covered from view, gives up the shorts, too. Blue convinces a young woman in business att

Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Win the volleyball game--In this game if you lose a point, your team loses a player. Best two out of three match. Despite having a professional player on the court (Jarrod), the general incompetence of the other contestants drags the play down to considerably less than scintillating levels. Red wins the first two rather short games. 2. Search for a local to take you home and prepare a local (food) favorite--Blue finds a trio of young and attractive sunbathing girls, one of whom takes the team to mom's house for a Vegamite sandwich, a lunch which Scott rather ungraciously loses. Red goes to a young man's back yard for some burgers cooked on the barbie. But the Aussie gets a little miffed by all the requests and demands put on him by the Yanks--wash your hands, scrape off the grill, give us napkins, etc. 3. Search for people to build the largest human pyramid--Blue has more participants, 18 to 15 (I think), which counts for points, even though Red's formatio

Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Win at Twister--All six contestants get on the mat to play the familiar party game. Rachel goes down on just the second spin, no doubt disappointing many viewers. After several more spins Carol is eliminated, followed by David, then Amanda. Scott and Stolzie (Greg) go head to head, but while Stolzie is pursuing an aggressive offensive strategy, his knee scrapes the ground, giving the victory to Scott and the Blue team. 2. Search for someone who will throw the most clothes out their hotel window--Blue finds a guy in a motor home and deceive him into thinking THEY will be the ones disrobing. But even after they convince him to go along, he only has eight items to pitch out. On the other hand, Red's enthusiastic volunteer chucks 106 items out the window! 3. Search for a two-door car and fill it with as many people as possible--The teams have done this before, so you'd think Blue would have learned their lesson: find a convertible! Instead they use a pickup tr

Scavenger Hunt: 1st task: Feed a wild animal--Both teams very gingerly (and under supervision) feed a bottle of milk to a 300 lb. Bengal tiger. 2. Search for someone who will let team cover them in chocolate and then allow them to lick it off--The Blue team finds two topless women who agree to let them do it, and all three teammates join in the licking. Yes, that includes both females. It really happened. 3. Search for the most tourists to take team's picture in a five minute period. Red wins 13 pictures to 9. 4. Search for a tourist to help team eat the most Vegimite--Vegimite is a yeast product high in vitamin B, inexplicably popular in Australia and virtually inedible to most other people around the world. Team member Terry eats the most for the Red. This portion of the competition ends in a 1 jar to 1 tie. Red in the lead after the Hunt. Scramble: Snow Man Stick 'em Up--Initial competitors place foreheads on a cricket bat and make several revolutions around it, getting

Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Search for someone who will win an arm-wrestling contest--Two suitable contestants are found. Blue's ""Mad Max"" beats Noel. When Art offers the chance for the losing Red team to go double or nothing, team captain Carol quickly and flatly says ""no."" 2. Search for a tourist who'll change clothes with someone of the opposite sex on an escalator--Red recruits a couple who exchange several items. Rachel, who has proven that she's a game competitor, does the switching with a guy. She boldly, if briefly, takes off her top! 3. Search for someone who'll wear a bathing suit made of shaving cream--Red has to do some real persuading, but they talk a young woman into it and she goes through with it. Blue, on the other hand, entices a couple of guys with the prospect that Rachel will be putting the cream on. But as Art points out, they put shaving cream on a bathing suit rather than make a suit of shaving cream. The women don't seem to be wiling to help so much with this

Scavenger Hunt: Task 1: Musical Boomerangs--Five boomerangs are placed in the ground. The six contestants, starting from a prone position, race to grab one. One player is eliminated in each round. Carol is the first to go, followed by Rachel, despite a good effort. Amanda proves no match for the men, then Cam is eliminated in a tough fight. Scott wins the final round against David without even having to dive for the last boomerang. Blue gets a chance to go double or nothing by throwing and catching a boomerang. They foolishly accept. Rachel gives a mighty heave, but no one can catch it. 2. Search for someone who will streak down the beach--Both teams have trouble finding volunteers initially. Blue's woman finally wraps herself in a towel and gives a very brief flash, but Red's guy runs down the beach openly, warranting a visit from the lifeguards. 3. Search for Australia's luckiest pouch and serve a drink in it--The teams don't know what this means at first, but they both decide

Scavenger Hunt: 1. Search for someone who will eat the most meat pies--Blue's pick has difficulty getting through a single pie while the Red team's rather less substantial-looking guy is wolfing down his third. Red wins. 2. Search for someone to wear a handmade bikini--Blue gets the decision here as Kerri models a Garden-of-Eden-type suit made from the large leaves of some local flora. Red gets a woman to put on their skimpy suit suit made of plastic fast food containers stuffed with napkins and a large E! index card, but she just barely peeks out of the dressing room. 3. Search for someone to recite a limerick about Art Mann with their pants down--No points awarded here as neither team uses the proper form of a limerick, but people do drop their pants willingly enough. 4. Search for the most Aussie insults in five minutes--Red gets the nod, 8 to 5. Most of the insults have to be censored, but we do learn that a ""seppo"" is Aussie for a septic tank. Totals for the round; Red 1
