La Dole's trapped under a cow round
The rules of La Dole's trapped under a cow round are quite simple. At the start, it is determined whether anyone will be trapped under a cow in the first place. This may be influenced by Glogg's round. Assuming Glogg has no effect on La Dole, the odds of someone being trapped under a cow are 1/3. If Glogg helps La Dole, the odds are increased to 1/2. If he bums him, the odds are reduced to 1/4. Only people NOT on the break can be trapped under a cow.
Should someone be trapped under a cow, they must still go through Kurt's veto round.
Being trapped under a cow can, at best, get you passage through to the last 5. However, it is possible that that person could be trapped under a cow for the duration. So, assuming there are 9 destinations in the hat (the most likely scenario assuming no shafting, grossering or helping), each time an elimination happens, it is determined whether the cow has been got off the boat. The person who is proxy for the person trapped under a cow must hold up their tile and say, "I'm trapped under a cow!" in an Alan Partridge accent. The person playing the role of La Dole must then draw a tile out of the bag. With 9 destinations (including the trapped destination), the first draw will contain 2 blank tiles and the tile which says "revoked". If the "revoked" tile is removed, the person playing La Dole say, "Get the cow off the boat, get the cow off the boat!" whilst pretending they have a voice box. The trapped destination is then returned to the draw. If the tile is blank, it is returned and another "eliminated" blank tile is added from Barney's pot. After a destination is eliminated, the procedure happens again, until there are only four destinations left. At this point, if the trapped tile is not drawn, the person playing La Dole must say, "Call Cliff Thorburn!" and that person's destination is removed from the draw.
Interaction with Gløgg
If Gløgg bums La Dole, the chances of one of the absent Colonel's Regiment being trapped under a cow are reduced from 1/3 to 1/4. If La Dole is helped, the chances of one of the absent Colonel's Regiment being trapped under a cow are increased from 1/3 to 1/2.
