There's too much choice and not enough time.

You fall along the line.

Aiming for your head, get down.

You're the only one in town.

Sometimes in life you have to take risks.

It can be scary, and there's always a chance you might fail, big time.

But when you take a risk and it pays off, it's the greatest buzz you can ever

get.

Nice move, champ.

Thanks. Keep that palm up, and the others won't stand a chance.

If only.

You coming in?

I want to wait a while, see if that right -hander picks up a bit.

It might drop off altogether.

Guess we'll have to chance it.

I'd rather go right.

Always Mr.

Predictable, hey?

Don't you ever step outside your comfort zone.

Not if there's no point.

Suit yourself, risk taker.

Hey, Jude.

Are you cheated?

Me?

Hey, dead heat. Dead heat.

Check out Corey.

What's he so interested in?

What else?

He could just be in my and Rachel's technique.

Yeah. You think he's got it bad?

He's so bad.

And Rachel?

I don't think she's noticed.

Yeah.

Looks like he's all admired out for today.

Probably going to have a cold shower. Oh, you are so cruel, Amy.

Especially when I'm competing.

Give him all that.

Go.

Didn't see you catch any waves or salvo, Corey?

Problem with your board?

No, just checking out as well, waiting for the right shapes.

How were the shapes?

Any good ones out there?

Yeah, some of them are pretty good.

Good shape is pretty important, don't you reckon, Rach?

Sorry? Corey was just saying there was a good shape on the break today.

I didn't really notice.

That's just her.

Right, people.

This week's training plans.

Nice, refreshing change of routine.

Oh, let me guess. Training's cancelled. We get to sleep and eat pizza and watch

movies all night.

You wish.

What's wrong with our current program? I thought we were doing okay.

You are.

So? So it's time to step up to the next level. No point cruising along in third

gear for the rest of the year. What's that mean exactly?

A few new routines.

and an increase in the amounts we have to do for the old ones. How big of an

increase? About 30%. What? 30 %? It's all right. I'm not expecting you to hit

the target straight away. We'll work up to it over the next few weeks.

We don't die first.

Glad you could join us, Eric.

Right, first exercise, paired sit -ups. How many?

50. What?

Time starts in 15 seconds.

You heard her. Grab a partner. Let's go. All right, come on, Rachel. Let's get

this over with.

It's like it's you and me, Corey.

Yeah, right.

You want to go first?

Sure.

Okay.

Three, two, one, go.

Are those two going to get together or what?

If it was up to Corey, I'd say definitely.

He couldn't take his eyes off Rachel at training this morning.

I wonder why she's not so keen. I don't know.

She's really hard to read sometimes.

Maybe she's playing hard to get.

Trust you to think that.

Maybe Corey's not her type.

Why not?

They're just so different.

So what?

Obviously it's trapped, you know. Not when they're that off the earth.

Bet you ten bucks they're together by the end of the month. Ten bucks.

Or the woman forgets to rack the other's board for a week. You know, I hate you

when you're so sure of yourself.

Come on, put up or shut up.

Now sit back and watch the pool of take its call.

Right, everyone, textbooks out, please. Chapter 17, the respiratory system.

Before we explore the miracles of breathing, we have a class announcement.

Thanks, Annette.

Well, as everybody knows, the school gym equipment is getting a tad old.

Try prehistoric.

So this year's fundraiser is devoted to replacing it.

Our class has been asked to organise an activity to help raise money and our

year is going to be running a beauty contest.

All right, settle down.

We need at least six entrants with the judging to take place at the school fete

next Saturday.

Um, what about the rest of us?

Well, everyone else has to be part of a support group to help the contestants to

raise money. I'll hand out entry forms at the end of the lesson.

Excuse me, Mr Savin, can I ask a question?

What is it, Rachel?

If we wanted to raise funds some other way, can we do that?

Annette?

No, no, not really, sir. I mean, if we don't have all of Year 10 involved, then

it's not going to work.

There's your answer.

Chapter 17, please.

Can you believe it? I mean, this is the 21st century.

Something wrong?

You heard Annette. A beauty contest.

What's wrong with that?

How about it's sexist for a start?

Sexist? Of course it is. Getting girls prayed around half -dressed while

everybody stares at them.

Sounds pretty good to me. Me too.

Can't you guys be serious for one minute in a day? Come on, Rachel. It's a bit

of fun. What's the harm?

It makes girls look stupid. That's what's the harm. It's demeaning. But you

spend half your life in a bikini on the beach. What's the difference?

The difference is I'm there as me, doing what I want to do, when I want and how

I want.

Not lining up against other girls in front of some dopey judges trying to

who's got the best butt and who's got the cutest face. Not that bad. So it's

okay, is it, that girls are treated like lumps of meat? I didn't say that.

You didn't have to.

I'm going to study. The macho men here are all yours.

Yeah, me.

What's got off her nose?

You don't get it, do you? It's a beauty contest. Okay, it might be a bit

puerile, but there's no need to freak out about it.

You guys are so typical.

I'm going to the library.

Me too.

What? You're going to the library during lunchtime? What's wrong?

Shocked that girls can actually read?

Mike, what just happened?

They obviously don't like beauty contests.

Yep, I gathered this much, but why are they getting angry at us? I mean, it

wasn't our idea.

Where are you off to?

Nowhere. I'll see you in class.

What? Are you going to walk away on me too? I should.

It's to prove I have the courage to stand up for my opinion.

What opinion?

I don't have one.

Does that make me a lazy, sexist, macho pig?

Definitely.

Let's eat. Yeah, okay.

Hi. Hi.

Mind if I come in?

It's a classroom. You have as much right to be here with me.

Listen, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you before.

Thanks, but it's not your fault. I just happen to have strong views about some

things. So I've noticed.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is I think you're wrong about Eric, Mike and me.

We treat you the same as you treat us.

Unfair to call us sexists.

You're right. I agree.

Which is why it's even more frustrating to hear you guys go along with this dumb

beauty contest thing.

Because it's just a joke. That's why.

It's a fancy dress competition. It's harmless.

No, it's not.

Guys don't go into competitions like this, do they?

No, but... They want to be judged by who they are.

Not what they look like.

Why can't it be the same for girls?

Okay, I hear what you're saying.

Let's just add it to the list of stuff we don't agree on. It's becoming a

long list.

Yeah. What do you think that means?

It means you better get out and let me study.

On my way.

So, is it definite?

You solar blue kids aren't going to help with the beauty contest.

Sorry, Annette, it's just not for us. But everyone else is pitching in.

We offered to help with one of the other year's activities. That's not the

point. What is the point?

You guys act as if there's one set of rules for Solar Blue and one set of

for everybody else.

It's not fair. We should all be in it together.

Sorry, Annette, but we just don't think it's right.

Annette.

Hey, Annette.

Can I talk to you for a moment? What for?

Why should we bother listening to anyone from Solar Blue?

It's about the beauty contest.

Yeah, I've heard it from the girls, Corey. I don't need to hear it from you

right? Actually, you haven't heard everything.

Something new's come up.

Which is?

Um, can we speak somewhere a little more private?

I don't think we made a lot of friends today.

It's just Annette. No one else cares.

Yeah, this time next week, everyone will have forgotten about it.

Who needs you anyway?

Yeah, up you, Solar Blue.

Up you solar blue, solar blue, who needs you?

Up you solar blue, solar blue, who needs you? What's going on? Just keep

walking. Up you solar blue, solar blue, who needs you?

You still think no one cares?

What do you think we should do?

What can we do? We just have to wear it.

Is it just me, or is the conversation here tonight a bit dull?

I got a call from the school today.

The principal?

He was disappointed that no one from Solar Blue was taking part in the

fundraiser. Wanted to know why.

Because it's stupid?

Beauty conduct went out in the 1990s. And if they didn't, they should have.

So did you tell the principal that?

No, we didn't think it'd be something he'd want to hear.

Oh, I see. So you're just going to sit back, do nothing, and leave the

fundraising to everyone else?

As it turns out, we are taking part in the contest.

Since when?

Since this afternoon.

So Solar Blue will have an entrant?

That's what I mean.

Don't look at me.

There's no way I'm going in it.

As if.

What are you talking about, man? I looked at the rules for the competition,

the only requirements for entrants is that they must be in Year 10.

So it can't be fly.

She's year 11.

It can't be Julie. I mean, she's year 12 plus.

Very tactfully phrased, Eric.

So who is this mystery fellow blue girl?

We're not entering a girl.

I'm going in it.

Oh, wow!

Corey, that's outrageous.

There's nothing in the rules to say a guy can't enter. If we want to raise

and not be sexist, then this is the way to do it. You're really serious about

this, aren't you? I like your style, mate.

But you've all got to pitch in and help. I need some serious fundraising to

support me. No problem.

We can do that.

Excuse me. I have just one question.

Yep. Why?

Why would you put yourself through that embarrassment?

Sometimes you have to get outside your comfort zone.

Thought this might be a good way of getting outside mine.

Sounds like a perfect way to me.

Does that mean you'll be my campaign manager then?

Sure. If you want.

Absolutely.

Hi, everyone.

Hi. Looks great.

Darling. Good to see everyone looking so happy.

Must have something to do with the new training regime, eh?

Well, actually, we're celebrating Corey's big news.

He's going to be the solar blue entrant in the Blue Water High Beauty Contest.

Sounds good.

Can you just run that past me again?

Go, go! Come on, guys! Come on, push it! Go!

First one back, that's another life on the bench.

Come on, 22.

Come on, 23.

24.

We've got four days to raise as much money for Corey as we can.

Any suggestions?

Well, in the absence of any better ideas, looks like we resort to the old

standby. Two teams.

Brooke and Mike run a car wash.

Amy and Eric do a windscreen wipe. Where about?

at the surf club car park. For ten bucks, you clean their cars while they

a surf.

Shoot. I thought the windscreen wipe could happen outside the school. Grab

parents while they drop the kids off.

Two dollars a time. We can do that.

Yes, Eric?

Just one small question, boss.

When exactly are we going to do all this?

Windscreen wipes before and after school. Car wash after school.

It won't work.

You're forgetting about Simo's new program.

Yeah, we're training our butts off at exactly those times.

Yeah, I have thought of that.

And? And...

supportive.

I'm sure he will be.

You've got to be joking. It's only postponing things a week. A week? In

sport, at this level, a week is a lifetime.

We'll catch up, I promise.

Rachel, the training program is serious.

It's carefully designed to peak at specific moments throughout the year. We

don't just do it for a laugh.

Fundraising is a school requirement.

They're expected to participate.

What are the other year tins doing to raise money?

Doing door knocks, rattling tins outside shops.

Exactly. Stuff you could be doing and you could be doing it after training.

But they've had a head start.

Besides, we can't move in on their territory. We have to do something no

else is.

Time is against them, Simmo.

Whose side are you on?

Everybody's.

You are really pushing the envelope on this.

It'll help our relationship with the school.

And it'll definitely help our relationship with the other kids.

All right.

We'll put the training program back a week.

Thanks, Imo. But you had better be ready to push yourselves to the limit, beyond

the limit.

We really appreciate this.

Is Corrie really going to go through with this beauty contest thing?

Yeah. I must be getting out of touch.

Hi,

gorgeous.

Looks like word's got around.

Can't wait to see you in high heels, Corey.

What colour's your bikini?

I'm wondering if this is such a good idea.

Oh, put it right there.

Come on, we've got work to do.

OK, here's your weapon.

Where did you get these?

Go cleaner, we've got them for the rest of the week.

Exciting. All right, all set.

Right, Eric? Oh, I can hardly wait, Amy. Yeah, have fun, guys.

Oh, just one more thing.

Well, we all know what we're doing, but what are you and Corey doing?

Styling. What?

It's a beauty competition.

You'll have to have three different outfits.

Formal dress, smart casual and swimsuit. So my campaign manager's taking me down

to the mall to get fitted out.

I've found some shops that'll lend us some clothes for free.

Oh, how wonderful for you both. Yeah. So while we're all washing cars and, you

know, sweating away, you'll be frolicking around playing dress -up. Is

right, Corey? It's the tough business, the beauty business. Looking good is

seriously hard work.

Gonna take a bit more than an outfit to make you look good, Corey. Hey, feel

free to take my place any time.

I'm always willing to make way for a prettier face.

Alright, come on guys, let's get a move on or there'll be no cars left to wash.

Can I clean your windscreen? Who does?

And I don't really want to mess around.

And I don't really want to mess around.

What's your promise? Tell us.

Can I ask you something?

Well, the town and the castle and the radio fuck is playing. Radio fuck is

Oh, no, I won't tell you what I really want to do.

Oh, I've got the passion for me.

I know that I was the key.

What's your Instagram?

Do you know?

198, 200, 202, 204.

Not bad for just a few days. I'll take this up full time.

It's fantastic.

Thanks, guys. Great stuff.

Now, just imagine how much we would have made if you were actually beautiful,

Corey. You really know how to hurt a guy.

Oh, and may we ask how the styling went?

Yeah. Do we get a sleep preview? No way. I'm doing this once and once only. Oh,

boy, what?

You nervous?

Let's just say I'm doing my best not to think about it.

But if you must know the truth...

No one will be happier when tomorrow's over than me.

Come on, you're not going to buy that.

Well, I feel I should buy something.

Yeah, but not that.

Oh, I don't know.

That might be a good Christmas present for my aunt.

You dislike her that much?

Showtime, folks.

Don't want to miss Corrie's big moment.

I don't know if I'm ready for this.

Come on, you big grump.

six entrants competing today and they will be assessed by our three judges,

Donna, Justin and Leanne.

Without further ado, let's get the show on the road.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Year 10 Beauty Pageant.

Our first contestant is Michelle Hayes. Michelle's captain of the school

softball team and wants to work in graphic arts when she leaves school.

College when she graduates.

Our third contestant, ladies and gentlemen, Jenny Lowe.

Jenny is our class maths whiz, and she wants to study computer science at uni.

Fourth up, we have Heidi Lee.

Heidi's into fashion and hopes to one day work in one of the top fashion mags.

Good on you, Heidi.

Fifth, we have Gail Winter.

Gail's got no idea what she wants to do when she leaves school.

But she does reckon it has to be fun.

any more beauty contests after this one.

The judges have made their decisions.

First, our Fondraiser of the Year award for the contestant whose team raised the

most money goes to Jenny Lowe.

And now for the big one.

Our judges award to the Year 10 Beauty Pageant winner goes to...

One further announcement to make.

The judges have decided to confer a special award this year, and they've

it the Gutsy Glam Award for showing grace under pressure. And this award

none other than Corey.

to that right -hander to pick up?

You know me.

Never take risks.

A week ago, I would have agreed with you, but not now.

Oh?

What you did today took a lot of guts. Not many guys could have done that.

Does that put me back in your good books, then?

Let's just say I've changed my mind about you, Corey. I seriously

you. Thanks for the compliment.

I think it's a compliment.

It is.

You coming in?

Do you mind?

I get nervous when I surf outside my comfort zone.

That's so corny, it almost works.

Thanks.

Hey, Brooke.

What's it going to be, 10 bucks or wax my board brewing?

What?

See? I thought you did know.

I so hate you when you're right.

There's too much choice and not enough time It's too far, one more

Aiming for the head, yeah
