Dustin and Trishelle tells us that they’re ready to work together. Dustin feels confident, and Trishelle is determined to prove she doesn’t suck. Marie says you couldn’t pay her $250,000 to be friends with “any of those scumbags,” as if anyone was making that offer. Ya dumb bitch. Robb tells us that he’s pretty sure it’s harder to breath in water than outside of it, so he’s not even going to try while he’s under there.
Look who found his long-dormant sense of humor!
Lots of up/down, breath holding, tile placing. Trishelle says they all look the same, which is so tilist of her. Marie says she’s learned that if she can keep calm in challenges/ARENA’s, Robb will keep calm too. Devyn says Dustin is making this look easy, and looking at his six pack abs is easy for her, so it’s win/win. Still loving Devyn.
Anyway, after a lot more of the uppy/downy stuff and some tile confusion on Trishelle’s part, Team Vegas manages to pull off the win. And I think that is a relief for everyone, because after these last two episodes, how much more Robb and Marie can you really take? Meanwhile, Trishelle is very proud of herself for not drowning Dustin.
Pretty sure the only way you could hurt Dustin during this one is by hurling tiles at his head.
Robb brings back his self-awareness of yesteryear as he tells us that the rest of the house is probably relieved to see them go and be freed from the shackles of living with “two drunken assholes, t-rexing around.”
Maybe, but they’ll still have to deal with Frank.
Marie says they won’t have to deal with her mouth anymore. Big surprise: Marie is still pissed at Frank and doesn’t want to be friends with anyone. Much to the chagrin of no one, Teej sends the rest of Team Saint Thomas on their way and tells the remaining players that there’s only one challenge left before the final. He explains that whoever wins the next Power Team will just need to make it through “his” final to win money.
And, you know, not be homeless.
Back at the house, they get a clue informing them that their next challenge will be in Namibia. Cue mandatory freakout, despite not knowing where it is. (Or in Trishelle’s apparent case, what it is.) Zach gives a pretty hilarious overreaction, and Sarah and company literally look at a freaking map to find it. Watching Challengers try to negotiate a map is a strange experience.
Next: Lots of people go to the medic!
So, despite mostly liking Marie during her season, I’ve definitely found her utterly annoying these past few episodes. I was not sorry to see her go, especially since Dustin and Trishelle seem to have calmed down after their drama. This episode’s challenge wasn’t too spectacular, but I’m hoping the next one and the final will make up for it. Who do you think will win? Who are you rooting for?

Great recap, VA! This episode was lame and I am glad I don’t have to hear Marie’s loud ass anymore. You would think she would settle down on the drunk antics after St. Thomas, but apparently she doesn’t think she has a problem…or she thinks it’s cute?? I don’t know.
Chet = early 90′s Zack Morris – Hehehe!
Who gave Zach that good awful scarf?? They should be punished.
I figured out something else that bothers me about Sarah, if something doesn’t benefit her, she acts like it’s a great injustice. Her reaction to Sn Diego winning power team made me roll my eyes.
As for Dustin, I think he has a lot of insecurities. I think that because his life growing up was so hard, having a bipolar drug addict for a mom, really messed him up emotionally.
As uz Plock I thoguht the same thing about Zach’s scarf. I bet it’s Frank’s.
I will really hate it if they win, I really really will. Bleech. But I don’t know who to root for. I am lost in a see of RW noob hate!
Love the Alliteration and tilist, FTW!
First – there should be a rule at these things that anybody who even utters the words “I want to go home” “I have had enough – I’m outta here” should be shown the door immediately. The odds of these greedy, unemployed fame whores who travel to exotic locations to drink and maybe win some serious cash actually REALLY leavin is as great as Frank being kind and understanding.
Would love to see Marie tangle with Bananas, Evan and Kenny as they would take her from corny to corn poopies. Ya Dumb Bitch! Other than hysterical Frank this cast is nothin but lightweights in the verbal assaulting catagory.
So I need help updating my list of people who have had to do nothing but yet might make the finals…Frank, Jonna, Ashley, Derek (did he have to go into an elimination round?) anybody else??
Also it seems to be thought of that the more teamates your have going into the final the better but sometmes that is not always the case as dead weight can really slow you down.
Consider – Completely agree w/ you about people saying they are going to quit the Challenge!!!! TJ should punish them. OR the producers should stop asking them back. Like Alton. I could careless if he never competes in a challenge again.
Is it mean to say I was excited to see (in the previews) that Zach is wearing an oxygen mask?!
VA-thanks for throwing in a “ya dumb bitch!” it made my day!
Loved the nod to Bananas.
@considerthis – I completely agree about the douche trio vs. Marie! I would have LOVED to see that. I know other people hate him, but a challenge just isn’t a challenge without Johnny Bananas.
VA – your Dustin analysis sums up how I feel about him exactly. It’s like you took the words directly from my typing fingers. I think that “not all there” quality probably comes from his difficult childhood and ensuing time spent in the porn industry. Poor Dustin. The intricacies of all that are just too depressing to think about.
So apparently this week Stank passed the crazy stick to Marie. So not surprised those 2 would become friends. I too didn’t hate Marie during St Thomas, but do after this challenge. She deserved to be dumped by text. I thought that was so harsh of Rob when I watched the reunion, but now I understand.
Yeah, wtf is with Teej referring to it as “his” final? That made me chuckle.
Chet is 27 or 28 (he was 23 on his season which filmed over 4 years ago) and Trishelle just turned 33 last month so their age gap isn’t big at all and I have no idea why Chet refers to her like she’s some old lady. It’s not like she’s freaking Beth or something. And I don’t even really like Trishelle.
Loved the tilist comment, ya dumb bitch!
This episode gave me sooooooooooo much to talk about!
First, I totally agree that Marie was annoying as hell these last few episodes and totally overreacted about going into the arena…BUT I think she and Robb were justified in being upset at Frank. Not only were they supposedly his best friends in the house and he had been running his team all season, but they were specifically asked which games they would want to play and San Diego gave them the one game they didn’t want! It’s one thing to put them in even though they are your friends, it’s another to completely disregard their wishes about games too. They were clearly at a disadvantage in that game…while it’s called mental it’s actually largely physical. It depends entirely upon the guys ability to lift his teammate to the top of the board. They had 2 distinct disadvantages in that game: (1) Marie is significantly heavier than every girl on the challenge with the exception of Devyn. I don’t think either of them is fat by any means, but the rest of the girls are twigs. So, it is a lot harder for Robb to lift her up and hold her there than it is for Dustin to pick up Trishelle. And, (2) Robb is very tall. Unless they somehow take into account heights by changing the length of the ropes, Robb would have to go much deeper in the water and even pull his legs down toward his torso to lift Marie to get her to the top of the board than other shorter guys would. I understand Team SD wanted the mental game off the board, so the obvious smart move would have been to throw Brooklyn in against Vegas. They either get rid of Vegas (arguably the strongest team left other than SD) or weaken Brooklyn tremendously but getting them down to 2 players as well. It’s a win win. Team SD was stupid for putting St. Thomas in.
Second, I cannot stand Jonna! It is such bullshit that she makes it to the finals purely because she’s fucking Zack. Talk about a whore…literally trading sex for $. I completely agree with Marie that they should have been talking to Cancun as well. They should not get a pass! They are by far the weakest team there (ever since CJ left) and should have been long gone. I really wish they weren’t giving 3rd place prize money…so that even if she makes it to the finals (despite doing nothing to deserve it) she would end up with nothing (a la Jenn in the last few seasons).
I have no idea who I want to win. Actually, no, that’s a lie. I’m clearly rooting for Brooklyn at this point. I was extremely pro-Vegas before but I can’t stand the idea of Trishelle getting $ now after her bullshit move last week. You screw up a challenge, you go into the arena. It’s only fair…I can’t respect anyone who doesn’t stand by that basic tenant. And, like @VA, I heart Devyn. I don’t remember her on her RW season at all, but I am thoroughly enjoying her on this challenge.
I remember on the RW reunion, in the “what I’ve been doing since” segment, Marie says she’s been hanging out with Frank a lot and he’s not as crazy as everybody thinks he is….that’s probably because Marie is as crazy as everybody thinks Frank is.
I was sooooooo pumped for this new cast but find Frank so heinous that I haven’t watched the past few episodes. Congratulations, MTV.
I think it’s worth noting that it appears that Marie started calling Sam a \dyke\, which sheds some light as to why JD and Derek came out of the woodwork and finally started getting in on the fighting. Maliciously calling someone a \fag\ or \dyke\ in any progressive setting is pretty much a rallying cry to all the proud LGBT folk in the immediate vacinity to get up in the douchebag’s face.
Twanbon – When did she call her a dyke?? Was it bleeped out? On the After Show??
I love the idea of sending someone home if they get all dramatic and say they want to leave. They should then send that player home and the team should get a replacement. It’s not their fault that the Camillas and Nanys and Altons are loose cannons. Plus it would make the whole game more interesting.
Yeah that 5 year age gap is a real deal breaker for Chet huh? I think he was saying more for shock factor or, that is feels like she’s been around foreverrrrrrrrrr.
Has anyone thoughtm or know if the guys that were in the lawsuit against Tonya are banned from Challenges? Is that why we have’t seen their desperate famewhoring faces lately? Just seems odd. Expecially not to have Key West be able to agree to assemble a 4 person team. Surely Tyler, Paula and Bananas could get a 4th person to play. Just seems strange…
Yeah its makes no sense at all to send robb and marie into the arena. I would love to go into a final with them.
They honestly never had a chance, I’m pretty sure they flew from st. Thomas to the challenge.
Was the huge drunk fight the night before the arena? Why would Robb and Marie get blasted the nught before and be hungover for one of the biggest tests of their physical ability?
Also I know their smoking habits are against them, but doesnt Alton smoke too? Also i clearly remember Nany, Jonna, Jasmine and maybe derek heavily smoking on their seasons. Maybe theyve quit since then
I highly doubt Alton smokes…he seems way too granola for that now. Jonna probably does though, she seems like that trashy type
@Gypsy I enjoyed that theory until I saw a preview for Paula and Evan (don’t know if Paula was necessarily involved, although she probably stood on the sidelines cheering them on for validation) on something apparently called “The Screening Room” on which they share their thoughts on Battle of the Seasons episodes. In case anybody cares about their thoughts. Le sigh…
Was it Evan who was one of the three? I guess it was…maybe they can comment but can’t play? Plus Evan is Fresh Meat he was never on the RR or RW if I recall correctly.
Hmmmmm…I wish we knew more about that settlement. AS MUCH AS I HATE THE DUMB BITCH, people like Wes, Bananas, Jenn & Walnuts do make for more interesting challenges.
I’ll add one more to the pile. I’d love to see how Frank or Zach hold up against Bananas or Tyler. That would be Challenge TV.
Chet = early 90′s Zack Morris also = Max Headroom!
I feel like Zach wouldn’t date (fuck) Jonna is she smoked.
Gyp – As for the lawsuit, I think it was the douche trio – which includes Evan.
Jersey – I said the same thing to my hubs about Robb being better at the ARENA b/c he is like, 7 feet tall!!!
@plockness re: marie settling down after st thomas— you’d think these kids would learn a thing or two about the way they appear after their season, i agree– in Marie’s defense, they filmed this Challenge the week after the kiddies got home from St. Thomas sooo she didn’t necessarily get to see how her drunken antics came across before she headed on to the next thing.
Also, the whole Robb dumping Marie via text thing… I honestly don’t even know how they lasted that long for him to be the one to break up with her. In person and off cameras, Robb has the personality equivalent of a blank wall, when he’s not saying dickish things.
But as much love as I have for Marie- i DETEST throwing out slurs racial/sexual etc and that was pretty messed up.
Dustin had a pretty messed up childhood, seriously…. overall there’s probably a slight something off, but considering it all, I think he’s made it out pretty well.
Gypsy is right- Evan was fresh meat, not RW
And I am the only one who does not find Zach attractive in the slightest?
@plock, you misunderstood my comment, I was actually saying Robb’s height made him worse at the challenge. The ropes are attached to the guy’s feet so the girls only go as high up as the guy’s feet go down. So, since he’s like 7 feet tall, Robb has to go much deeper into the barrel of water to get his feet low enough to raise Marie to the top of the board.
@captain, I totally think Zach is disgusting. I found him hot for about half an episode on Real World SD, but I HATE long hair on guys, hated his personality on that season (although it has gotten better), and am totally NOT attracted to men in pink scarves :p Also, there’s that herpest he undoubtedly got from screwing Jonna and that chick from the Bad Girls Club. At this point their two strands have probably morphed into some sort of Super-STD in his body!
Also, Evan and Kenny were both fresh meat. Bananas is the only part of the douche trio that was actually on RW.
Lastly, I could care less about seeing the douche trio against Zach. The match I really wanna see is CT/Zach. I think CT is the only one big enough and crazy enough to give Zach a run for his money in a one on one battle. (although CJ definitely surprised/impressed
me with how well he did!)
Yes, Kenny was Fresh Meat as well. Blechhhhhhh, I forgot about Jenn, which is surprising considering how much I hate her. Oh god, I hate her so much.
I still don’t understand how Zach is disgusting to the masses and CT has been historically “hot.” Guess I never will.
I’m not saying I love Zach, but I don’t find CT any more attractive. And their personalities, though different, can be argued equally reprehensible.
I don’t find Zach or CT remotely attractive. On this season, the closest to “my type” physically is Dustin. I suppose CJ isn’t offensive looking either. Otherwise, blegh.
I don’t miss The Three Douches one bit. However, if I have to see them on a future challenge, I hope they make themselves useful and obliterate Stank.
My bad, Jersey!
OHHHHHH! I would love to see a Zach/CT match up.
Gyp – I agree, the challenge is a lot more interesting w/ those fuckwads!
I cosign with Captain and jerseyj about Zach Bleech.
Ok, I’m be real with you all, Zach has no chance again CT. The man has been shot, carried bananas like a backpack and yelled at Wes for 7 hours straight. You think Zach’s beach muscles stand a chance against that mad dog? CT all day. BET.
I also think some park of Zach hoped CT would be on this challenge to see if he could out alpha CT.
I love to hate them Plock, I really do.
@plockness – I BELIEVE that Marie was calling Sam a d-ke, and that is what was bleeped out when Marie was yelling at Sam. It fits with the part of the word you can hear, and Sam’s immediate reaction and the defensive reaction from all the LGBT folk in the room make it seem likely. You can sense the awkward uncomfortableness in the room when she says it, as though everyone knows she’s gone too far.
@JudgyWudgy – RE: Zach vs. CT in hotness… Zach is a pretty boy whereas CT is a bad boy.
As far as sex appeal, CT seems like the kind of guy who would be a complete animal in bed, who prides himself on making you remember him as the best lay of your life. Zach seems like the kind of guy who would mindlessly hump away while watching himself in the mirror, occasionally flexing and kissing his own bicep.
@twanbon….lol @ your sex comparisons!
@Twanbon FTW! Yup, while Zach flips his hair…
Yeeeeeah, but CT could “accidentally” punch you or choke you to death if you do something he doesn’t like….
I need to learn to just shut up about it, because I won’t ever get it and it won’t ever change.
Judgy – I know you’re being serious, but I lol-ed at comment 31.
Yep, super serious.
