	Proof that nice guys can finish first, the motley crew that comprise the clientele of Peter La Fleur's Average Joes at first more than live down to the name. They're hapless, socially inept, gawky geeks, including a guy who thinks he's a pirate, who can't dodge a wrench, let alone a ball. Yet there's something lovable about La Fleur and his men, a never-say-die group who come together to poke body fascism firmly and squarely in the eye, with the help of an irascible if doomed coach, some new-found self-belief and some S&M outfits. Root's put-upon Gordon, who not only comes up with the idea to enter the tournament in the first place, but who also keeps the team in the competition by tapping into deep, boundless reservoirs of rage during the semi-final when he finally tires of being treated like a doormat by his lovely Thai bride. What else, but the dodgeball final itself, in which Average Joes defeats the preening, posing White Goodman and his terrifying, possibly lab-engineered Globo Gym Purple Cobras.
