Another big reason that people watch the show is that we also get the scoop on who are the next possible couples in the Bunimmurrayverse. Battle of the Sexes II enlightened us to Coral and Abe's relationship, and let us watch as Robin and Mark cast their bets on love's fickle flame as well. Our real-life encounter with Rachel and Veronica let us in on probably reality's least kept secret, but there hasn't been too much love in the air during this season so far. The only thing that has even qualified as a longing stare was when Dan was trying to tear himself away from Karamo.

Luckily, there is only so long before you can keep a bunch of fit and single men and women together in one place before people start flirting. The odds are simply against you. So when we saw that Jodi and the Miz were "relating to each other" and were happy to have somebody "who is a friend" and will "stay up late", you knew that something was going to happen. When we heard that Jodi had made a bet and lost, you know that it was more than just innocence at play.

Jodi played one of the oldest tricks in the book. She doesn't want to look like Tonya(notice I didn't say slut, implying that Tonya is a huge slut and everybody hates her would be wrong. depending on who you ask, it may be true, but we aren't going to say it) and just get naked at the drop of the hat, she wants a little more intrigue. An easy way to do this would be to place a bet on something saying you will get naked if you lose. Now, I can't be sure how badly Jodi wanted to win, or if she simply wanted to lose her bet and get naked, but she did lose, and she did get naked, and she did jump into the pool, per the bet. Sure she played like she didn't want to get out of the water while Mike was holding the towel, but she did, and made sure he saw a little bit of cheek, tits, and cooter to peak the interests of the Miz.

This week's "Bunim/Murray Contestant Attempts to Read" was brought to you by Landon. I am not sure if he just has a strange tone when he speaks or if Bunim/Murray hired the High School Reunion sound editors to splice the audio together, but it may me glad that he spent his seven years in college learning how to build playgrounds and not learning how to to teach phonics.

After a few minutes conclusively proving that the Sidekick II is not an Etch-A-Sketch, we learned that the everybody had to be at the marina wearing their swimsuits. Swimsuits are usually a good indicator that there will be water involved in the competition, and that was indeed the case. Dave Mirra explained the rules for "Fill in the Gaps". There were two pieces of glass with a number of holes in them. Plastic tubing ran from each hole to container that held water. The water would flow through the holes, and the teams would try and stop the water from coming out. Each side split into two groups, and each group would be timed on how long it took their water to empty to a certain level. The better you held the holes, the less water would come out, and the longer your time would be. Abram eloquently explained that a team would lose if they had the most water flow out the quickest. Or, if that is too hard for you to grasp, a team would lose if they kept the most water in the tank the longest. Great job at explaining that one Abram. I heard Ikea is looking to add some additional redundancy to their furniture diagrams, why not give it a shot? Anyway, the two groups for each team would have their score added, and the highest score wins.
