We see a flashback of Landon losing to Brad in the Duel. Landon says if there was one person to lose to, he was happy it was Brad. Because of all the honest people on the stage, Brad is the top. I don't know that I see any honest people on the stage. Big compliment. Brad blames his loss on his broken body and the fact that Rachel wasn't digging in the Push Off mini-challenge. Rachel responded with the following, which I am having made into a T-shirt: "I definitely digged." The best part? No one laughed at her. How I weep for our reality television future.

"You're kidding. Digged isn't a word?

And if you thought you could escape without witnessing the Brori gag-fest, guess again. Flashback to Tori berating Brad for not having a real job and to Brad explaining that the challenge really isn't the time or place. Tori said it was all real and she didn't do any of it for camera time. No kidding. Who would orchestrate hours of camera time designed to make you look like a harping shrew? Maria asks Brori if there is any truth to the rumors that they were engaged then un-engaged then engaged again. Tori says that they are 1000% engaged and getting married in April. She assures us (phew) that they are going to be together for the rest of their lives. Or until she spends the $35,000.

Like a thousand percent.

Maria calls Mark out for "retiring" from the network in March 2006. He even gave his bandana to Derek (from the first Road Ruler to the last Road Ruler) which was supposed to make it really, really true. Mark says everybody likes a comeback. I'm thinking more like Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler or John Travolta in Pulp Fiction but I guess Mark Whatever in the Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel 2 is totally like that. Fortunately for all Mark fans, he said he'll be back, be single and be stirring the soup. Redeeming himself for his earlier Evan-praise, Landon commends Mark for being above all the drama and for being a true positive element on the show. Oh Landon. You're so pretty.

For old times' sake.

We get a quick update on other former cast members: Robin is having a baby boy (which is not Mark's); MJ's wife is having another baby (also, not Mark's); Paula has a boyfriend who was never on an MTV show (which makes sense since she slept with the rest of them); Katie is engaged; Brooke lives with her girlfriend; Rachel is dating someone and refuses to tell us more (as though we care); and Kimberly is single as of her landing in San Francisco on Saturday. Way to filter.

Then the best part of the whole hour: a sneak peak of The Real World: Cancun. We see cliff jumping, girls kissing, hammock cuddling, ripped abs, a stripper pole, a passed out drunk, a boy crying because he ruined something that is everything to him, someone who puts up a wall but wants to leave a better person, screaming, fighting, glass throwing, drunken falling, hysterical sobbing and someone is terrified of what someone is going to do next. And if you haven't seen a roommate hook up with a mother, you'll see it in the very first episode. And I. Cannot. Wait.

Thank you all for the warm Tvgasm welcome! Until we recap again,
TinyElvis.

Loved that you pointed out the randomly irrelevant Brittani comment that had me yelling at the tv.

Diem and CT were actually taking a break at the start of the challenge, because she wanted to focus on her career. They actually did break up because of her career.

You rule tinyelvis.

The best part is that I no longer have to watch this show...the worst part is that I'll miss your spot on callouts of Evan. Really, what a douche.

If I'm not mistaken, prize money is uber-taxed...like 25% or something. So dipshit isn't even walking away with enough cash to buy a small house, but that would buy a LOT of Taco Bell in Canada. Aim for the stars Evan old pal. Glad your whole life led up to THAT.

Brad's eye got messed up while they were filming the new challenge (The Ruins). He got in a fight with Alton.

I can't leave an URL so go to vevmo dot com and go to MTV then the challenges. There are forums there with spoilers and discussions about the shows. :)
