We open to everyone dawdling around the house. There aren't too many people to fight with anymore, so Megan has no choice but to sit around and think about her bathing suits. She's down to her last one, you see! I know, you might wonder why she couldn't just do a load of laundry, but Mexico don't need no stinkin' washings. Real and Whiteboy don't have much to do either. They're not speaking, and dudes, it's been so long since this show aired that I was like, "Wait, okay, so what is the issue here?" Oh right, Whiteboy may or may not want to bone Real's non-fiancee. Got it!

Everyone settles in the living room to sit silently. This would be a good time for a phone call on a T-Mobile Shadow, am I right? Sure enough, it comes through real quick! CJ advises the contestants to wear athletic gear and tennis shoes for today's challenge. He might as well just announce, "We're sending Megan home!" because lo, that's probably what this implies. She makes a good effort and gets ready with the rest of the houseguests anyway, all while Whiteboy sings about how this will be physical and there will be sports! Whiteboy thinks they're going back to second grade PE.

They get to the challenge site, where they're met with this.

Megan's bedroom set?

She describes those beams as being "300 feet above the air," which, totally. Took the words right out of my mouth. She also addresses "scary waters" which were similarly on my mind. CJ greets the contestants and tells them that since there are only four people left, there won't be a vault today. Whoever wins the challenge is the Paymaster, then there will be a Power Dinner, and someone will be sent home. Easy enough!

The challenge is called Krazy Toss, which I immediately hoped was related to Krazy from Flavor of Love and Charm School, but you never know with these shows - it could just be shitty spelling. Luckily enough, it is Krazy-adjacent! The challenge is less dangerous than you'd hope, however. Each contestant has to grab a Krazy doll, run up a ramp and throw it over a balcony to hit a target, then run back. The only interesting element is that the ramp is suspended. In Whiteboy's words, they're "6,955 feet above air," which is pretty close to Megan's estimate. I'd say they're both right.

Megan gets selected first, which means Fail Whale! She gets locked into her harness, and CJ says to give him a thumbs up if she's ready to go. And then he says it again when she ignores him, and...then he says it again. This goes on for probably 35 minutes, so finally CJ threatens disqualification if she doesn't fucking give a thumbs up. Then it takes her forever to pick up the damn doll, and oh, it's all just ridiculous. She makes a lot of sex noises though, so there's that. Then she steps off the platform and...

Fail Whale indeed.

The fall actually made me gasp, which is odd since I always hope someone will die in a crazy challenge. Not in a Krazy challenge, though! CJ's one instruction is not to drop the Krazy doll, but of course Megan does. The doll is immediately impaled and Megan's disqualified! In confessional she tells us it's the worst day of her life, which...doesn't shock me, I suppose.

Hoopz goes next but claims she's afraid of heights. Hoopz probably states faux fears before any challenge she rocks though, so it's not super important. She grabs the doll instantly and pitches it over the balcony, but then she just stands there. Stands and smiles. Smiles and stands. Everyone has to inform her that it's a timed event, hint hint, before she realizes that running back to the platform might be in her favor. Also on her list of fears: time.

She clocks in at 23 seconds, and when it's Real's turn, it takes him about that long to pick up the freaking doll. He shuffles across the platform anyway, and hey, it turns out the whole thing takes him 28 seconds. Hoopz has a shot, baby! I have to root for her since Megan's a lost cause now and I hate everyone else. Real is saddened by this development and also by his time. Another disappointment: the development of his balls rubbing together during the challenge. That makes me have certain feelings too, but they're neither sad nor sexy.
