Recap: Your Gen, September 4th 2011

Well, it’s finally here – after the sneak preview a few weeks ago – it’s the Freaky Friday role swap episode. (Did you hear me laugh in the background ;P)

Shaun’s role was played by Amanda. For the Baby Boomers, Charlie played Amanda and was joined by actor Cornelia Francis; Gen X was Josh as Charlie and comedian Jimeoin; and Gen Y was blogger Natalie Tran and Shaun as Josh!

After Shaun mangled Josh’s accent, the first games played were Name That Tee and What’s a Doodle Do?

The four buttons were all people who had passed themselves off as someone else: Milli Vanilli, Helen Demidenko, Tony Mokbel and Frank Abagnale Jnr.

  • BB chose Vanilli – which was Draw That Book.
  • Gen X decided on Demidenko, playing ¡Chronoloco! – vehicles had to be put in timeline order. Originally ‘Charlie’ caused a lot more damage with the car, but this was cut.
  • Gen Y preferred Abagnale, which meant that Shaun was subjected to Trust Me: The Human Parfait. The entire cast (save Natalie) enjoyed as Shaun as Josh got covered in all three buckets. The watch Shaun asked to be removed was actually the one he got as a gift after the first season of TAYG!

The Your Gen topic was ‘The World of Pauls’. The end game was which team was best at laundering a bedsheet. Even though the BB had the steamiest sheet, Gen X had the cleanest, so won the The Redlands Strawberry Festival Fundraiser trophy, donated by Tenille Jackson of Beachmere QLD.

Don’t forget the next episode is Wednesday!

One thought to “Recap: Your Gen, September 4th 2011”

  1. That episode made my year! (well, meeting Shaun actually made my year) but this was the most I’ve laughed in ages.

    I get the feeling that Shaun’s expression in trust me was saying ‘I deserve every second of this don’t I?’

    And then we get Francis this week. This show can do no wrong 🙂
