"Back to the Present" - September 6

Two of our remaining contestants, Joey and Andrew don't know what's in store for them as we draw the conclusion of MTV's The 70's House.

After the shows opening sequence, Dawn shows up at the house holding an Olympic-style torch with the appropriate theme music. The contestants hear from Oscar that this is ther final day in the house and they're going to take part in the ultimate test of 70's skills. It'll be a day-long battle in the 70's decathalon.

The players go to Cosell Park for this special event with Andrew wearing blue and Joey wearing red. As with a regular decathalon there are ten events, but there will be one event for each year from 1970-1979. Let's get started, shall we?

1970: Joey and Andrew play the said board game where they knock down blocks of ice until one of them knocks down the centerpiece. Joey knocks down the centerpiece first giving Andrew the win for this event.

1971: The players ride their 70's-style bicycles around the track for five laps. After enduring sitting on thise banana seats, Joey wins the event, tying up 1-1.

1972: The players then make a cake with the help of Easy-Bake ovens. Joey didn't follow the directions to making a EBO cake giving the win to Andrew leading the decathalon 2-1 over Joey.

1973: The players now have to chase Bigfoot around the park to get a picture of him. Joey got the best picture of BF winning this event and tying up the match again at two each.

1974: Andrew and Joey play the Simon electronic memory game. Joey messes up the sequence giving Andrew the win and leading the decathalon 3-2.

1975: Mike Gordy hosts this event involving identifying which in a group of teams were made in the 70's. The players lock in their answers by picking up a paddle in which the number corresponds to the item. The player with the most correct answers wins this event. Andy got the most correct answers winning this event. Andy leads 4-2 over Joey and we're getting closer and closer to the end.

1976: Randy hosts this event where the players have to make a beer can pyramid while being on a waterbed. Andy manages to complete his to win this event and he still holds on to a 5-2 lead over Joey.

1977: Gallagher hosts this event where the players have to smash watermelons (like in Gallagher's comedy acts) to find a key to dermine the winner. Joey finds the key and starts the process of catching up to Andrew and the score is 5-3.

1978: Don "Magic" Juan hosts this event where the players have to go on a Z-beam while wearing pimp outfits. Joey had much better progress than Andrew, making the score 5-4.

And now the last event...

1979: Both players will take part in a daredevil jump. They'll be wearing motorcycles around their waist as they run up the ramp and land on the pad. In the end...Andrew wins the event, winning the decathlon 6-4 over Joey.

Andrew has walked, talked, and danced his way into being the most 70's. And for his efforts, he wins an HP prize package plus a 2005 Volkswagen Beetle and a European vacation from STA Travel.

Back at the house for the very final time, Andrew and Joey are greeted by their friends, and the groovy cast. They also get a surprising and quick visit from Oscar who's riding in a limo, but we never got to see his face. I smell something related to "Charlie's Angels" with this. Then we end the show with Andrew going back to the present year with his new VW Beetle and his prizes.

IMO, MTV's The 70's House offered me a unique experience when it comes to saying and doing things in another decade according to the show's rules. Well that's the last recap on MTV's The 70's House. If there's another season on the way, I would probably do more recaps. I hope you've had a very groovy time in the 70's House as much as I have. So...let's hope that things in your life are groovy! And remember everyone...keep it 70's! Bye y'all!
