This is an okay challenge, but why are knee pads necessary? Especially if they're not allowed to run? Maybe it's for all the girls to get down on their knees for Sam, and "pay" him "homage" because of course he wins this challenge. He and Nicole are now safe from elimination. The geeks' challenge is to master salsa dancing, which Joshua is excited about because he'll probably use his newfound skills in regular life. How adorable would it be for this dork to come up to you at a salsa club and whisk you away to the dance floor?
"Hey baby... ever tried Claritin? This shit'll mess you UP!"
The teams go to the beach and try to practice dancing. Or at least drinking. Drinking tequila. Tequila shots out of glasses this big.
"¡Mas! ¡Mas! ¡Mas!"
Sam reports that what he's looking forward to the most in Mexico is partying. Damn, with the amount this guy talks about getting fucked up, I'm pretty sure that in ten or fifteen years, when they have a "Where Are They Now? Reality Edition," Sam's is gonna be the sob story about becoming an alcoholic and running his car into a tree after one too many strip teases at Les Deux in '09.
Anyway, during their shotfest, Dave puts a mountain of salt on his hand and downs it. Just watching it makes my mouth hurt. Afterwards, he says, "There's something happening in my mouth, and I'm not sure that it's a party, but we'll soon find out!" That's the spirit!
Chez takes it upon herself to teach Joshua the basics of salsa, and tells him to move his shoulders around, "sexy, sexy. Do you feel sexy??" Let me tell you, when a hot chick asks you that, "I don't know" is never the right answer.
"Do you consider shrugging sexy?"
You know it's a party when people start asking who has an amazing hidden talent. Usually, it's skills like being able to tie a cherry stem into a knot with one's tongue, or something that could at least be construed as sensual. Not for Dave. He's going to liven up this party with the ability to do a round-off back handspring. Mmmmkay... that's kind of hot. If this were a team of gymnasts. Or nine-year-old girls. Sam expresses his doubt, listing Dave's proportions as what makes him unlikely to pull of this type of feat. Dave echoes the sentiment, saying if he can't do it, it's because he's totally wasted. Maybe he's not aware of his proportions. In any case...
"Wheeeeeee!"
He successfully completes this task, and everyone is so floored by it that he's the instant life of the party. Even Sam is impressed. I'm thinking this will become his party thing from now on, especially after Jasmine grabs him and...
Finally! A nerd gets some play on this freaking show! I think this was Dave's first kiss. Ever.
"¡El Zoinks!"
Naw, he says the last time he was kissed was October of '03. If it was that long ago, I'd say you're kiss re-virginized. Now he's a smitten kitten, and follows Jasmine around for the rest of the night like a wannabe lover should. This will be good for their team, though, because he's probably not as afraid of her as he used to be.
Uh-oh. Looks like there's a new slut it town.
It's like "Entrapment" all over again.
Or so I thought. Natalie and Sam are getting pret-ty friendly here. As it turns out, Natalie is just strategizing about how she can keep herself and John in the game knowing how much Sam wants them out. If you call slurring about the existentialism of competition "strategizing," that is.
"We can toooooootally beat Jay and Shoshua."
Sam's not having it. He sees right through her tricks and won't be swayed, though that's not to say they won't keep drinking tequila together and probably hook up off-camera.
The next day as everyone is salsa-ing up a storm, Jen and William hash it out again, and she informs him that he's being unfair to her and blaming her for things that other people did to him. Amazon Verbal Bitch-slap! Yes!
"Don't fuck with me, girlfriend! Each of my tits are bigger than your head!"
He totally deserves it. He just needs to grow up, put it aside, and move forward instead of being a passive-aggressive little bitch. That's what I would have said, anyway. Jen is more reserved and polite about it.

I'm with you O.Snapp, I love Chez and Joshua. It would be awesome if the team that was the worst off in the beginning won the whole thing.

I was pulling for Sam and Nichole at first just because they were underdogs, but I have fallen for Joshua and Chez. I also have a soft spot for The Larper and the Gelfling. I imagine all three of these will be the last three couples. Then I will be torn. I'm glad you got a kick out of the "It's like going to a new club, but it's a country" line. I laughed so hard I had tears!
