Eventually, Susie finishes, guaranteeing her the life shield. Last up is Ev who speeds through and finishes. In the end, the Bad Asses win the challenge with a faster cumulative time. This makes the money total $90,000 for the Bad Asses and $60,000 for the Good Guys. Johnny wonders if his team can keep it together for the last challenge since they have lost the past few. In the end Susie and Ev get the life shields and EV and Alton win the trips to Hawaii. Now Susie realizes that she is in a sticky situation. She can either send Cara, her "bff," or Paula, who helped her win, into the Inferno. This leads the Good Guys to have a team meeting. The whole team basically wants Cara put in, and even Susie acknowledges that Paula is a better player. However Susie had made a promise to protect Cara from the beginning. Then Cara says the dumbest thing possible. She states "Paula deserves this more than anyone because she's so great, but I know i deserve it too because i know I'm so great."
First off, if Paula deserves it more that anyone then you should volunteer. Second, what have you done THAT'S SO GREAT?!?!!? Sucking at challenges to help Susie does not count as being great. If Cara had any balls she'd volunteer for the Inferno to prove to her team that she has what it takes to better. Paula yells back crying at Cara saying that this isn't fair since she has worked her ass off. She also says Cara just cares about herself and getting to the final mission. Well Paula this is only partially true since she might care about Susie more than she cares about herself. Finally it's Inferno time. Susie tells TJ she had to pick between what the team thought was the right thing to do and what she thought was the right thing to do. In the end she picks Paula. Johnny claps and sarcastically states "way to do the right thing Paula." I tell you, Johnny continues to grow on me. I hope he gives Susie shit for making this decision. Ev chooses to let Aneesa stay in and Aneesa thinks she might have a shot since she beat Paula in a previous Gauntlet/Duel/Inferno/Something Stupid. The challenge ends up being called Shimmy. I secretly hope that the challenge is going to be a dance off, because i really want to see Aneesa and Paula drop it like it's hot. Sadly the challenge involves them shimmying up between two walls and ripping flags along the way. First person to reach and rip off the top flag wins.
Paula informs us that she should be great at this challenge since she used to shimmy up her mom's walls at home. I have no clue what kind of house her mother runs, but this seems like an easy way for one to have constant scuff marks on the walls. Paula says "hopefully being a crazy kid will help get me to the top." Well if her Real World season was any indication, being a crazy kid helped get her a drinking problem, but hopefully this time things work out for the best. Once the challenge starts Paula takes an early lead and Johnny yells "just like mommy's house." I love how Paula must have had time between when TJ announced the challenge and when it began to tell her team the moving story of how she used to shimmy at mom's. In the end Paula wins and Susie claps happily.
I told you you could do it!
Susie says it's obvious the team dynamic will now change since everyone hates her and Cara now. Aneesa starts to tear up a bit because she's sad to leave everyone. Whoa Aneesa! This isn't what we like about you. We want to see you yelling like a mad woman, not being all human and showing REAL emotion. Finally TJ tells everyone to get ready because the final challenge is "no joke." The episode ends with Susie telling her team to stop being mean and come together and win money. Well you know what Susie maybe that would be easier if you and Cara hadn't driven a wedge between yourselves and everyone else on the team.

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.

Paula is such a sweetheart when she is sober. I love that Cara and Susie played the victims after the Gauntlet when it turns out that Kina was absolutely right to call them out. Hopefully people will be on to their little game if and when they do another one of these things.

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.
