We open on last week's elimination ceremony, and as many of you pointed out in the comments, 20 Pack is indeed wearing eye makeup! I actually didn't even notice this last week, which either says a lot about me or a lot about 20 Pack, I don't know which. I'm going out on a limb to say it's him though, so let's roll with that! He tells us in confessional that his new team is composed of the greatest people in the entire world... oh yeah, plus Tailor Made, but whatever, they'll deal with him.

Saaphyri is stoked about being the brilliant captain of a brilliant team, but Myammee feels concerned about the new Green Team. She's the only member of New Green that was also part of Old Green, so she realizes that if they lose again, she's totally going in the box. This is worrisome, whereas showing her box in her elimination lingerie is totally kosher. Gotta love logic. The Entertainer also feels troubled, which he proves by tearfully setting fire to his shirt from the Gold Team.

Who does that kind of thing? I can honestly say I've never set fire to something just to prove a point, but admittedly I am not a rageaholic. Since they have anger management classes under their belt, Heat and Angelique come out to mourn alongside him. Their main concern is that half of their alliance is on the other team now, so they have a bonfire and then Heat crushes a lemon in his bare hands. I don't know why that's significant, but it's still sort of marvelous.

Outside in the pool, Prancer and Cali discuss their dating options in the house. Unfortunately everyone is ugly, so that pretty much sums up that topic. With that out of the way, they decide they should work together even though they're on different teams. It's a good idea, but Saaphyri and Buckwild had it first and they do not approve! They watch and judge from a distance, and they manage to look 45 years older than Prancer and Cali while they do it. In Saaphyri's case, this is because it's true.

The next morning, the Green Team discusses how likely they are to win, with which Tailor Made agrees. He's decided to play both sides, although he's doing so poorly. It's not long before Craig summons the cast downstairs to crowd around his picture, where he entices them to pick captains with the Midas touch. I totally hope this is his way of saying, "Whatever, y'alls, the Gold Team is still going to win this round!"

The Green Team sits down to choose a captain, and Angelique promptly volunteers. That means everyone looks around for another option. Cali raises her hand, so Cali's captain! Angelique's ego is officially less swollen than her boobs. On the Gold Team, Prancer steps up to the plate. It's hard to root for the Gold Team since I'm used to The Entertainer and It being there, but Prancer is adorable, so God bless!

Everyone loads into the vans and heads to the challenge, which is in the wilderness. Excellent! Craig explains that they're standing on top of ancient burial grounds, as well as a treasure pit. That's always how that kind of thing works, you know? Everyone perks up immediately, practically breaking out their metal detectors and starting to dig. Fittingly the challenge is called Gold Diggers! It's based on one of the greatest moneygrubbers of our time, Flavor of Love 3's Hotlanta. Fun fact: Hotlanta's MySpace boasts that she was selected for the show out of 1,000,029 women! That is delightfully specific! She also blogged a sample of her upcoming book, and it's actually worse than you'd imagine!

Moving on, Craig tells the cast they'll travel into the jungle to hunt for clues. The ultimate goal is to find a designated lot of buried treasure. Whoever finishes first wins! Before they scamper off, Craig has one more bit of information: each team will be tethered together. Unfortunately no one knows what "tethered" means, so that's awkward. The Entertainer assumes it means they'll all have sex with each other, but ultimately that's probably what it does mean. Good on ya, Frank.
