Deep Thoughts, by Lyle

Survivor: Backyard--Episode 5

Handsome Host Lyle: Let's quickly recap what's happened so far on the show. Our teams, the Dead Petunias and the Empty Birdfeeders, have each constructed a shelter. The Empty Birdfeeders won that challenge with their newly franchised Starbucks shelter and loft. Before the Dead Petunias were able to vote her off, Spring left the yard.

Beautiful Hostess MacKenzie: In a surprise twist, we had a late arrival. Morgan joined the Dead Petunias at the end of the last episode. I honestly don't know how that got past the rules.

HH: She gave me bacon.

McK:
Ah. Are you sharing?

HH: Sharing? Me?

McK: Mm. That's what I thought. Anyway, we're back with both teams in the yard today, awaiting the next challenge. What's in store for them today, Lyle?

HH: (stares at both teams, looks back and forth, counting on fingers and toes)Wait a moment. Team Empty Birdfeeders, do you have an extra member?

Comu': Yes, Lyle, this is Goldie. She'll be joining our team.

HH: Now, hang on. We can't just have anyone coming in at any time. We do have some rules, you know.

Goldie: I brought freshly baked peanut butter biscuits.

HH:
Welcome, Goldie! We're happy you're here!

(High fives all around the Empty Birdfeeders. Team Dead Petunias all look murderous until Miss Goldie hands them a bunch of biscuits, then all tails are wagging.)

HH: Your next challenge is brought to us by my boss man. Under this tarp (gestures to his left) you'll find everything you need to complete the challenge. Each team will have 15 minutes. You will be judged on both quality and completeness.

Rosie:
What is it? What do we have to do? Show us!

Kenzie dramatically whips the tarp off, revealing a lawn mower, weed eater, hedge trimmers, and a variety of gardening equipment

Baxter: We're supposed to do your yard work?

HH:
And you've only got fifteen minutes! Go!
