Recap / Bluey Obstacle Course

• Cheaters Never Prosper: Explored. In both scenarios that each party (Bluey and Bandit) won, they did so by cheating. But the victory came at the cost of a personal victory, where they lost someone's respect.
• Hidden Depths: Bluey is shown to be good at Memory Snap.
• Hypocrite: Bandit made it a point to low-key demean Bluey's "victory" as mere cheating. But later, when he was about to lose to Bluey fairly, he couldn't resist pulling her back in order to win instead of her.
• Laser-Guided Karma: When Bandit cheats at the obstacle course, Chili offers that Bluey decide how best to punish her father for his hypocrisy. Bluey knows just the game to teach Bandit how it feels to have an unfair disadvantage: a game of Memory Snap.
• Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: When his family tries to discourage him from making the obstacle course into a competition, Bandit tries to goad them by imitating a chicken. Of course, since his daughters aren't familiar with either the "chicken" expression or the concept of peer pressure, it flies over their heads. Even when Chili explains that he's imitating a chicken to call them "scared", they're still confused as to why he thinks they're scared of chickens.
• Sore Loser: Chili for one notes that Bandit cheated because he couldn't stand the idea of losing, even to a small game with Bluey.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Chili and Bingo do not approve that Bandit cheated at the last moment to beat Bluey at the obstacle course. Some would even say the audience are put off by Bandit's out-of-character prioritizing winning over his daughter's self-esteem.
