Deflated? - 
by B-Side
Ladies and gentlemen, I have wonderful news. For the first time in weeks, MTV did not ruin an episode of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge by showing us footage of the winning team during an on-air promo. This represents a major step for the network, which previously had never seen a vital plot point it couldn't plaster all over the airwaves. As a result, we were able to fully enjoy this latest "Exile" episode of Fresh Meat; although, I use the term "enjoy" loosely. Not because I don't like the show -- I certainly do. It's just, well, I'll explain my unhappiness later. For now, let's hop into the inflatable kayak of our memories and relive the latest episode.
This week's episode began with an unsettling, rather disturbing and nauseating image: Tina hanging out poolside. Her plucky partner Kenny was trying to kick her into the pool, possibly hoping that the chlorinated water might rinse the stank off her. I can't quite remember if he succeeded in this endeavor because truthfully, once I saw Tina in a regretfully form-fitting bikini, I couldn't help turning away in an effort to save my eyes from burning like campfire marshmallows.
Anyway, we then cut to Tonya nearby who was still seething about her recent nomination to go into Exile. She certainly was a force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't want to be on her bad side, lest she mobilize her army of crabs to attack and infest. Nevertheless, Tonya was über-pissed that she was going into Exile and not Tina, her arch rival since Battle of the Sexes 2. We then were treated to a flashback from that season, and we relived that first glorious Tina/Tonya battle when the two fought over, well, nothing really. I highly enjoyed the clip, if only because I could then more accurately gauge just how many Klondike Bars Tina's been consuming over the past two years. Girl's been packing on the pounds. Must be preparing for winter.
When we returned to the present, Tonya seethed, "I don't think you understand how crazy I am." Uh, yeah. We understand perfectly well. You've only plastered your face on every reality show for the past four years. I fully anticipate that she'll be doing a cameo on Meerkat Manor next week.
Well, Tonya then told her fellow Exile-ee, Wes, that if he were to win the pardon, he should put Tina in because she could certainly beat Tina in Exile. I didn't know if Wes was gonna go along with the plan, but he did try to be all metaphorical by saying, "Tonya is a bomb. She might not have blown up right, but trust me, her wick is getting thin." Hmmm... a little force, Wes. Might I suggest the more apt "tinderbox" analogy? And wicks don't get thin; they get short. Gosh, get your explosive imagery correct, JERK!
Of course, Tonya couldn't be sure that Wes would nominate Tina out of the goodness of his heart; so she had to throw in something to sweeten the deal. "If you beat her," she said, "I will suck your toes." Congratulations, Wes. You might be in store for some good ol' fashioned toe herpes!
