Western House. Hell of a theme, I loved it. The electrician dude screwing around for three days and then he faked stuff on his application? WOW! The near-breakdown (and triumphant rise) of the team? Loved the drama!

I love Monster House.

Holy Sh\*t!! The look on those guys faces at midnight was heartwrenching. Glad it worked out for them though. The phony electrician should’ve been strung up with the wagon wheel. He couldn’t even get the ‘riding a bicycle’ analogy right. :smack:

Why was the guy on crutches at the end??

Yea. Ordinarily, I’d shout “LAME!” at giving them time to finish, but the guy screwed around for three days and then turned out to have faked his credentials, so I thought it was pretty cool.

I don’t know about the crutches! It never showed him getting hurt or anything, I really was curious.
