Real World Road Rules Challenge-The Island: Episode 2: Rotten Bananas

This week on The Island, Dave suggests ranch is something more than just a flavor, Bananas shows us his rotten side, and I develop a small crush on Abram. I know! I'm as shocked as you are!!

Really?


We open our second episode in the wee hours of the morning (read: 11:00 am) and all of our favorite challengers are waking up and rubbing the crusties from their eyes. We cut to Johanna who is awaking with Kenny, presumably after night three of, um, cuddling her way to three hundred thousand dollars.

Kenny is telling Johanna how hungry he is and that at times like this, when the conditions are so poor and your biggest concern is survival, all you can think about is food. Am I missing something here? What's really so bad about the conditions on this island? Outdoor toilets? Twin size beds? Have these people never been camping? The dingiest part of this island, as far as I'm concerned, is that there's a high probability of contracting an STD. And the last time I checked, every Real World house in the last 8 seasons has contained that type of a hazard anyway.

Cut to Hollywood Dave, who tells us that he has "so much bad ass stuff" on his resume. Are you wondering what all this bad ass stuff is? Yeah me too. Don't worry, Hollywood Dave's gonna tell us. In addition to wearing bad ass camouflage outfits, he once broke his wrist, had staples in his head, and get this: played college lacrosse. Hmm.

Now let me preface what I'm about to say, my dear gasmii, by saying that it's been about 5 years since I've been in college, and I mean no disrespect to Mr. Johns Hopkins or the entire state of North Carolina for that matter, but last time I checked, the requirements for being a college lacrosse player amounted to speed, a helmet, and occasionally, the ability to slip a sorority girl a roofie. And by "slip a roofie" I mean wear your lacrosse jacket to the bar and put your hand up her skirt while she pretends to be too drunk to notice.

"Four hat-tricks senior year dude. I'm serious."

Speed ahead to dinner and Johnny Bananas is playing chef, and handing out rations of chicken and rice. KellyAnne and Bananas start fighting, because supposedly KellyAnne took extra rice the other day and didn't give it to Ashli like she said she would. Bickering ensues and ultimately KellyAnne tells Bananas to shut his mouth. I can't help but wonder what state of affairs has made KellyAnne so aggressive. Remember the good old days in Sydney when she dedicated her time to self-consciously following Trisha around, and handled her anger by passive-aggressively spitting on glass windows?

Anyhoo, as with many of our lives, all the good stuff happens when the sun goes down and the alcohol comes out. So let's get to the evening. Dave asks Abe and Derrick what their significant others think about them being in Panama for a month. Abe answers by making that tongue through the lips farting noise you make when you're seven and think that mouth imitating ass constitutes high comedy. Derrick nods a little but pleads the fifth when it comes to discussing wifey. I don't blame you D. Sore subject. Icksnay on the Ocked-up Knay.

Dave tells us that he's got "something good" going on back home so it was hard to leave. Then he tells us that they've known each other for a month. A month huh? Solid. Yeah, Dave I'm sure that just like you, Something Good is back home telling all her friends what a great guy you are. Or at least she will. As soon she gets your best friend's dick out of her mouth.

Next we cut to drunken Dan, which leads us to a little something I failed to discuss last week. And that is the fact that Dan calls himself "Dantastic." I...I mean...who would ever... it's just...I can't even begin to... It's ridiculous. Not to mention corny and laughable. Laughable at you, not with you. Who gives themselves their own nickname? Besides Bananas I mean. And when you find yourself in a situation where you have to give yourself your own nickname, who comes up with Dantastic? It's absurd. I spend the next five minutes ranting about this to my roommate when it occurs to me that when I first started writing these recaps I nicknamed myself McSteeny. Let's move on, shall we?

Loved the recap! I wish Evan and C.T. were on the island, that would be awesome. Looks like next week, Robin asks Johnanna if she's going to sleep her way to the final. Should be good!

McSteeny:

I just noticed a typo in the word "coconut" in one of my screencaps. And a somewhat vulgar typo at that. My sincerest apologies to vaginas everywhere. Whoops. :)

flowie623:

Anyone else notice it looks like Dave has a long straw sticking out of his nose?

chelle:

Great recap, love the screen caps AND typos! :) The scum bag line was perfect!

J-Mo:

Haaaa, McSteeny, I totally caught that and thought, hmmmm, but "coc*nt" works, too! Sly devil! The capture of Abe's wasp-wounds made me a little sick to my stomach... ugh.

love, J-Mo :)

goettin:

I can't believe Abe is gone! Those bastards are lucky he had to go home... no one could have beaten him.

I lurve him, too, McSteeny. Ain't no shame.

PS - anyone else think he and Hollywood Dave were separated at birth? Aside from one being a born lunatic and the other a douchebag...

Fluffy:

Totally fell in love with Abe this episode. Such a badass, that one! I wish all the girls had stuck together and gotten rid of Bananas. I'm so sick of that pig. Can't wait to see Robin call out Johanna. So far, I'm loving this challenge.

carmelicious:

Sometimes I feel like the whole "RW/RW challenge" can be totally disregarded and MTV could probably just advertise a reality show about a bunch of frat-boy-asshole-tribal-tattoo-hemp-necklace-date-rapers
that were like arrested for hazing and all thrown on an island together...and it's all, "lets see who can be the biggest cocksucker!? yeah, Kenny - impregnate a girl, and punch her in the face all in one day - Woohoo!! You totally win :)

Speaking of, can anyone tell me what Abe's tattoo says in one of those screen-grabs? I'm oddly curious...

I'm totally addicted though, I especially love the final ceremony where they all stand at the little pedestals and give some speech like they are the deciding vote in whether these people live or die - it cracks me up!

It pains me DEEPLY to say, but I'm kinda proud of Kellyanne for standing up to Jonny, instead of giggling his insults away a la Ashleee - I hated her on RW, but hey, maybe along with the boobs, they gave her some backbone!

Final thought - brilliant final screencap for Dumbybear!

ubiquitous:

Who would've guessed that deserted islands have fountains of booze on them!

spacevenus:

Bananas is disgusting. I wonder what his mother is like - his disrespect and disregard of women is appalling. I don't remember him being such a dick before.
Between him and Kenny (and Dunbar), the quality of males on that island is abysmal.
For the life of me I couldn't tell the difference between Dave and Dan (who the hell is he anyway?)

I also am in love with Abram. Shocking!

bella bella:

I totally think that Dan and Abram were seperated at birth, which makes this episode suck even more, because that leaves us with the likes of Kenny and Johnny to lust after, no thanks!!!

blairwaldorf:

I really wish that Johnny went home! He is such a jerk. Although, I think it was he who called told Dan to stop with the "Danimosity" which I found kinda funny.

Abe is one of my favorites on the show, so I didn't like seeing him go home. I'm glad it was because he asked to get sent home, and not because he's just a jerk like Bananas.

kit9:

People, sometimes it really pays to watch the extras on MTV. It's very hard to catch, with the way they edited it, but during Kelly Ann's fight with Bananas, she makes reference to the fact that he doesn't have anything in his pants. Then on the walk she took with superdyke we get the full story. Undedited. Gotta love MTV sometimes. Turns out Johnny's got a baby dick. Worse we find out how he got the nickname Bananas, complete with Kelly Ann graphically acting it out. So, Girkin dick Johnny was attempting sex with some victim, er I mean girl, but baby dick couldn't get hard or maybe she just couldn't feel his tiny member so he did what any horribly deformed boy would do--grabbed the nearest inanimate-penis-shaped-piece-of-fruit and started sticking the girl with it....hence the name Banana.

So, what did we learn? Johnny hates women because they laugh at his tiny manhood and they prefer fruit to his tiny loins. Oh, and that Johnny is a disgusting pig beyond the scope we could have ever imagined.

blahblah:

Thanks for the entertaining story, kit9.

How did KellyAnne (a NEW Real World alum) find out about this story of Bananas' OLD nickname? I wonder...

spacevenus:

Thanks, kit9. If that's true, Bananas' hatred of women makes perfect sense.
I suppose I shouldn't have called him a dick. Burn!!

McSteeny:

Thanks for the info kit9! The visual made me throw up in my mouth a little, but it's important information nonetheless.

Thanks for the positive feedback everybody! See you in a few days!

-McSteeny

zona9:

Okay, here is the first part, with Kelly Ann fighting with Johnny extended and unedited..oh man, they won't let me post links here. Ok, go to challengedailies.com and pick Kelly Ann Sounds Off and How Bananas Got His Nickname.

I love Kelly Ann's admission that she'd do a banana. Her mother must be so proud. Honestly, I'm shocked MTV would allow that second clip to be posted completely unedited. But, I'm glad they did-real insight into JB. Sad and sick but insightful. lol

kit9:

One more tidbit..MTV confiscated the hard liquor after Dan went on a real bender-went crazy and at some point threatened to slit Ashlee's throat. That's what that convo with her and Dan on the beach, I'm assuming the morning after, was about apparently. Jesus.
