Three boats and one speedboat
Dev returned to Innuendo Bingo after ten months and arrived almost as excited about Radio 1’s Ibiza weekend as the game. Scott was due to DJ on three separate party boats, travelling between them by speedboat. The plan sounded glamorous but depended on him leaving each party on time rather than becoming too involved in the first one.
The programme continued modernising ice-cream vans with a chiming version of “Wrecking Ball”. A Coronation Street storyline involving an ice-cream man called You Me at Six ended with the cliffhanger “someone’s had a pop at me van”, which Scott considered a notably weak way to close an episode.
They also discussed Sharknado 2. Johnny Vaughan appeared briefly, while Scott and Chris wondered why their extensive support for the first film had not earned them parts in the sequel.
Commonwealth Games clips break the game
Dev wore bright summer clothes and shorts, provoking discussion of whether his radio voice sounded heavier than he looked. Listeners had said the same thing for years; Scott, by contrast, was often told that he sounded taller.
Bowls commentator Paul Mitchell had seen many bowls but called two recent examples the best he had ever seen. Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford discussed a brown lawn, while Clare Balding and Victoria Pendleton considered a cyclist’s helmet and an angry chip.
Phil Mickelson said the parts felt better than the hole. Clare Balding asked an athlete where she had taken the baton, then judo commentary struggled with the name of Indian silver medallist Sushila Likmabam. The repeated attempt to pronounce it destroyed Dev and Chris’s remaining composure.
An old Gadget Man line about rosy-fingered dawn breaking their slumber completed a long, chaotic round. Everybody was soaked, Dev’s smooth legs had attracted comment and the game had taken much longer than expected, but they eventually reached the end.
Rosie wins the trip to Ibiza
Radio 1 was selecting listeners to report from Ibiza. Friends Josh, Rosie and John faced questions from Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac about dancing, drinks, packing and ideal DJs. The choice was especially awkward because Rosie and John were a couple, meaning one could win while the other remained at home.
Rosie’s enthusiasm and promise of terrible dancing secured the place. She would join the station on the island, while John was left to demonstrate that six years of relationship could survive a Radio 1 competition.
Dating Naked removes the early uncertainty
Scott and Chris discovered VH1’s Dating Naked, in which strangers met on a remote island and completed three dates without clothes. The programme claimed that true love might be easier with nothing to hide; one participant appreciated saving the three or four dates normally required before seeing a partner naked.
Scott wanted a British edition and immediately progressed to the inevitable celebrity version. The format joined Naked and Afraid in a television trend that made ordinary dating seem insufficiently elaborate.
Adele Roberts considers Nicolas Cage as Superman
Adele Roberts filled in for Charlie Sloth and played Real or No Real. A protective device shaped like underwear and combined with a gas mask really had been proposed. Radio 1 Rock Show presenter Daniel P. Carter genuinely loved Commonwealth Games lawn bowls and had tried to recruit other DJs as fans.
Helen Flanagan had not been put in the wrong taxi after Virtually Famous and delivered to Joe Lycett’s house. Nicolas Cage really had been attached to Tim Burton’s unmade Superman project, although the claimed $13 million finished film had never reached cinemas. Scott won 40–30 and prepared to send Chris to confront a wax Ryan Gosling the next day.
