It all comes down to this. The final female duel. Once this ends all the bitching can stop and then we get a final challenge and the season will be over. We can finally get the conclusion to all the plots we've been obsessing about all season. Will Susie actually go to an Inferno? Will Cara not intentionally suck to help Susie? Will Paula get screwed over? Will Alton rise to the occasion? Will anyone give a shit about what's going on over in team Bad Asses? Find out tonight on The Real World Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno!
The episode opens with MTV treating us to some evil sounding music, which means you know bad things are afoot in South Africa (aside from the poverty and pent up racism left over from Apartheid). Susie has described the day as "the worst day ever." Now if going to the Inferno is the worst day ever that this girl has had a pretty blessed life. Never lost a loved one, every heard of cancer, and most likely wasn't bothered at all by Bush winning reelection. I'm gonna guess 9/11 was her second worse day ever, because everyone knows being sent into an Inferno is only slightly worse than an unexpected terrorist attack on US soil. Oh and also to make Susie's day worse SHE GOT THROWN INTO THE POOL!!!!
I could have died!
That's right, Abram jumped out of the hot tub and threw Susie into the pool. Well this is too much for the poor girl who already has the stress of being in the Inferno, and possibly leaving Cara on her mind. Susie runs crying into the bathroom where she is comforted by Cara and Paula.
A quick note about this scene. Cara appears to have been taking a bath with candles lit up around her.
You poor darling! Could you hand me my cucumber mask?
Wow, Cara. Way to be there for your co-dependent life partner on her worst day ever. "Hey Susie i know you're stressed but I'm gonna take a bath by candlelight...What's that you want to take a bath to de-stress? No I'm sorry you can't. Why? Because I was in Playboy, that's why." And really Cara, don't make any effort to get out of the bath and hung your friend. The scene ends with us seeing Abram hanging out in the jacuzzi not caring about what he did to Susie. Now it's my favorite part of the show. CLUE TIME!!! This week instead of one person reading the clue we are treated to a number of people reading parts of the clue in different rooms. Congrats to the MTV editing team for finding a new way to present my favorite part of the show. And congrats to you the reader if you figured out I was being sarcastic. The clue states "in tomorrow's challenge, you're going to swing. Hope your arms can keep up with your feet!" Fortunately, this time we're not treated to anyone trying to interpret the clue. However for some reason in the dining room, where a bunch of guys check out the clue, there is an inflatable woman on the table.
Desperate times call for plastic measures.
I guess life in South Africa is becoming like a frat house. The scene ends with Johnny diving down on the fake woman. I guess with these girls left in the house I could understand why the men have turned to plastic women. We then cut over to the challenge, which is called Nothing But Net. First you need to climb a cargo net, then swing across on rope to another net, where you grab a flag. You keep doing this until you get 4 flags. There is a 15 minute time limit and you can DQ if you fall or if a rope swings out without you on it. Well this challenge seems anything but easy, so I bet we get a ton of DQs.

I cannot believe Paula helped Susie win the Lifeshield. Oh well.

I almost DIED when Abram declared that he "would love to be a pirate professionally". Really Abram? Is that a job again?
And great recap, but you forgot to include the second funniest part of the episode: TJ's hair in the Inferno. It reminded me of my balding uncle who poofs up his sparse hairs on top to make it look like he has a full head. I guess that's why TJ always wears hats.

Why, oh why did Paula help Susie win the lifesheild? (side question---if Susie DQ'ed like all the other Good Guys, who would have won, or would they have held a "lifesheild-off"?)
I guess Paula was just trying to be a good teammate, but she's totally dense to think Susie would actually chose her over Cara.
And yeah, the Abe pirate fantasy...lame, lame, lame! And not only that, I can't really listen to anything he says witout getting distracted by his oddly shaped and shaven scalp.

Paula is such a sweetheart (when she's sober). I love that Cara and Susie totally played the victims after what happened in the Gauntlet considering that it turns out that Kina was right in calling them out. Hopefully people will be wiser to their little game if they ever do another one of these challenges.

I wanted to throw a shoe at my tv when after totally screwing Paula Suzie says "now everyone can stop being mean to me". UM you played "reasons why we hate Tonya", you screwed Paula over- YOU ARE MEAN.

It drives me CRAZY how Susie takes this attitude that everything revolves around her and that she is the only important person there. Everyone is being mean to HER, she doesn't appreciate when someone else does well on a challenge because it threatens HER chances at winning a life shield -- on and on! And it might even be different if she contributed a lot to the team. But instead her being there has actually HURT the team (via Cara). Her good girl act gets old real fast.
