Choking. It happens to all the best athletes. Sadly, sometimes it happens in the most crucial situations and one can never recover from it. Just ask Bill Buckner. He was a pretty great ball player until is infamous choke in the 1986 World Series. I guess in the world of Real World/Road Rules Challenges, Derick is our Bill Buckner. Although unlike Bill, Derick has a third chance to prove he's not gonna choke at the last minute. I should also tell you that this week's episode was really boring. No Susie/Cara codependency, no Aneesa flipping out, and even the "will Derick choke plot" was boring. So now that I've hyped this up for you, welcome to The Inferno!
The show opens on what appears to be a low key evening. Not every night can be full of half naked wrestling fun. Derick sits with Ev and packs, since the dude knows he's gonna screw up just like every other time and go home at the last minute.
I'm skerd.
Once again, MTV shows us classic Derick choke moments. MTV, please stop with these. They scream time filling desperation on your part. Derick speaks really seriously this whole time, as if these challenges hold any meaning in real life. If he bones it, "he'll feel like the biggest loser." Look, Derick, I hate to break this to you, but you already share that title with everyone that's appeared on these challenges more then once. GET A REAL JOB PEOPLE!!!! Meanwhile Davis is elsewhere and he's packing too. Blah blah blah blah. Nothing exciting.
Now for my favorite portion of the show, "What Idiotic Clue Will MTV Write?" What is the point of these clever clues? Even if anyone could figure it them out, it's not like you can train for swimming across a lake and matching giraffe feet or getting electrocuted in a trivia game. Kenny reads the clue which says "tomorrow will really be a challenge," except Kenny says it's spelled "reely". Davis instantly thinks about fishing, which leads to wondering if he should confuse more women about his sexuality by making out with them. Then the guys appear to have some sort of slumber party and hang out in a few beds.
Let's brush each other's hair!

God I wanted Derrick to lose SO BAD, just so the curse could go on, and so I could laugh a little longer! Darn!
Seriously, I think Derrick's more pumped at the fact that he can prove he's a "man" than the fact that he's got a shot at lots of money.
Whatev's....Davis STILL punked Danny which totally made the Inferno for me.
Now I just hope Susie gets the boot. She's so annoying!

How convenient that the challenge was exactly the thing that Derick would excel. I can't help but wonder if the Inferno challenge was chosen by TPTB to drive his story.
Yeah, I cannot wait to see Susie having a meltdown next week, but knowing the promotion monkeys, it's not going to be as big as they made it appear.

i reely wanted derrick to lose as well. (yeah that's right. grammar as entertainment).
i feel for the little guy, but he needs to buck up and take some community college classes.
alton has completely lost his magic this challenge. he's next in line for tj's handlebars.

I was glad derek finally won! He tried more than once and failed and kept on trying and made it. Good for him! I hope susie doesn't win the life shield, but kicks someones ass in the inferno! Hopefully Aneesa wins the life shield and throws Tonya's slutty self in there. She doesn't deserve anything with all her shit talking.

Good recap.
I was hoping Derrick would lose, too, but that Inferno couldn't have been more in his favor. I'm sure Davis is fairly athletic and they all are a little short on the brain stick, but Derrick doesn't have one to worry about a concussion. Oh well, as anniedawg25 (#1) said, at least Davis sent home Danny with his... mouth... thing. Watch out, Melinda!
A few days ago, I thought wikipedia had spoilers in the article, but it said Derrick was going to go home, so I doubt that the final women's Inferno is going to be Susie vs. Ev with Ev going home. I was going to be more interested in seeing how Aneesa would win the Life Shield.

yeah Danny did have a mean case of "mouth something's" going on.....but unfortunatley I can't talk shit about that--I get cold sores from time to time. JUST not on National TV! YIKES!!!!!!!!!
are danny and melinda still together? I don't think he mentioned her once for the 2 days that he was there!

Hillarious recap for a pretty dull episode. Honestly, that challenge was bull. Reeling in Cara or Susie versus reeling in Janelle? or Tonya? Neither of the latter are fat or anything, but they certainly weigh more and have more fight in them than the former two.
And the last screen cap cracks me up. I only had the top half of the picture for a minute and I thought it was a dog.
