The Birdman Group

A long-standing village tradition takes place right in front of the castle every year -- an event known to the locals as "Bird Man." Local villagers have to come up with new and creative ways to cross the nearly 25-foot wide river without swimming. Whether it's flying jetpacks, human slingshots or wooden catapults using centrifugal force, this event is perfect for the family to use a little redneck ingenuity. With Birdman legend David Ainsworth being the one to beat this year, it's all hands on deck as the family builds their birdman contraption and nominates "Wonder Wendy" to fly across the river. But the guys get a little sidetracked when they end up participating in the Gallon Challenge -- an 8-pint, no bathroom breaks, no barfing drinking contest at a local pub. Jared (who has promised Michelle he would try to be sober with her throughout the rest of her pregnancy) catches some heat from Michelle when he returns home drunk and rides the birdman contraption straight into a bush. The locals all participate in the Birdman Challenge, but the real show-stopper is Wonder Wendy when she takes on David Ainsworth to show the Brits how it's done.
