Wait for It

"Wait for It" is the first episode in the third season of the television series How I Met Your Mother and 45th episode overall. It originally aired on September 24, 2007.

Plot

Future Ted tells his children that, although they know the short story (involving a yellow umbrella) of how he met their mother, there is a bigger story of how he became the man he needed to be in order to meet her.

This story begins back at Lily and Marshall's wedding, just as Barney finishes his word "...dary!" and he tries to get Ted out to help him "conquer New York" but Ted says he is not ready yet, prompting Barney to ask when he will be ready.

After the break-up, Robin went to Argentina while Ted grew a beard and painted the apartment, but when Robin returns with her new boyfriend Gael (guest star Enrique Iglesias), Ted announces he's finally ready.

Ted decides that Robin is trying to win their break-up. Marshall backs up this theory by explaining to Lily about the winner and loser in each break-up, so Barney takes Ted out to help him win by getting Ted "a 12" (given that he says Robin is "a 10") but Ted gets "a 12" on his own, a tattooed girl called Amy (guest star Mandy Moore).

Wait for It..!

Wait for It..! is a children's game show produced by CBBC Scotland Productions. It is presented by Pete Firman with the voice of Tim Dann. It ran from 26 August 2009 until 7 October 2009.

The Main Rules

Four contestants from the same location enter a large room called the Intergalactic Time Machine and attempt to answer clues given by Tim (The Total Intelligence Machine). The player with the lowest score at the end of each round will be dropped into an orange goo portal, which sometimes makes a 'blobbing' sound effect (or sometimes a 'burping' sound effect as well as a 'blobbing' effect).

Round 1

This is the main round of Wait for It..!. Pete (the host) will announce a category. There will be ten questions full of clues announced by Tim. It takes fifteen seconds for Tim to read out the clues. Unlike counting down, the clock counts up in this game. The clock is shown on a wide, computerised screen on the studio walls, which is installed all over the whole studio in one piece. The clock is also shown on a red rocket blasting off on the bottom left corner of television screens for the viewers at home to see. The contestants have to buzz in as long as possible (without having the other contestant(s) to buzz in or failing to buzz in within fifteen seconds!) If the contestant who buzzed in (therefore stops the clock as soon as he/she buzzes in) gets the correct answer to the clues given, they will earn points according to how many seconds he/she took to buzz in. For example, if the contestant buzzes in and stops the clock at 10 seconds and gets the right answer, he/she earns ten points. However, if he/she gets it wrong, the other players would score the number of seconds stopped on the clock. (e.g. ten seconds.) The scores are kept a secret and are NEVER announced during the game.
