He pushed the stack of Dirty Hands' traps that were legitimately blocking some of Savage Crew's access to their boat. To be fair to Mikey, he technically did not push Patrick. Maybe he got turfed because of pushing that delivery guy into the water? Which can be good if you like them, and highly annoying if you don't! One thing I love/hate about this show is that unless someone completely quits, even though they lose the overtime task, they're only eliminated from the individual competitions and prize, not from the competition as a whole. Maybe next week he'll gin up a chronic injury to waft on and on about, considering how much Tara and Swifty were featured on the last episode. I think he's manufacturing all this drama to suck up screen time. Fan appearances, guest shots on other shows, free drinks at the bar, that sort of thing. Even though we only have two examples so far, I'm starting to suspect he's faking this for the camera, and trying to be a featured "character" so he can leverage this time on TAN for future money. He must be one very high maintenance boyfriend, lemme tell you whut. This last time he saw his girlfriend's face in a barrel full of hag fish, and that gave him the motivation to go on. At every single individual task (OK, two so far.) he has this "OMG, I'm dying here, I have to quit!!!!" moment where he collapses dramatically and gasps for breath like a fish out of water, then sucks it up and has a talking head about how he gave himself a pep talk that gave him the fortitude to go on. So, slime eels/hagfish are a delicacy? I, uh, after seeing that, am not really interested in trying them. Do we know if she quit permanently, or will she be back next week? She did not look happy, but I think a lot of that was just injured pride and humiliation to go out on "her" specialty. It looks like production had to do some fast talking with Tara to get her to grudgingly go back onto the boat and clock out. I wonder how they got identical tangles in both sets of line to make it fair? All that bending, and the manipulations with the rope, and the endless pulling and pulling of the free line through the knots. The overtime task last night seemed to be designed-though I know it wasn't-to be the most torturous for someone with a hand injury or a bad back. She was an early favorite, and I like how she just got down to work and didn't crow about it being a maritime set of tasks that she, as a seasoned seawoman, could just bang out. Maybe not all the tasks require actual hand labor, but I know a lot of them will. I hope Tara stays in, but it seems to me that competing with a hand injury is not really a viable choice.
