Just like childhood, high school, college, marriage and our own pathetic existence, all good things must come to end. We've come a long way with these yahoos in South Africa and now it's nearly over. I'll always treasure the memories of people wrestling, yelling, conniving, scheming and acting ridiculous. I'm not gonna cry yet though because we still have a recap to get to. Welcome to The Inferno!!
Now usually, I skip the previously part of the episode, but this week I watched and was taken aback by the announcer with the gruff voice. Seriously, this guy should get a job doing voice over work for movie previews. After that, I watched the opening credits one final time. I was delighted to watch my favorite part when MTV uses CGI to make two cast members run like fake leopards. What a creepy touch!
The episode opens with bold letters written across the screen that says FINAL CHALLENGE and SOUTH AFRICA, just in case no one has been paying attention for the last 14 weeks or so. A bunch of the guys are all sitting around playing pool. John states how Susie and Cara are off in their own little world. You know, Susie is probably crying because she got splashed, while Cara is just relaxing in the bath. Derick meanwhile says he would feel like the biggest loser if he lost since his team has won 3 in a row. You know Derick I'd just be happy i didn't choke right near the end and just enjoy that fact that I'm guaranteed 10k for making it to the final mission. Meanwhile, Alton feels that he has a well stacked team, clearly forgetting how much his entire team hates Susie and Cara. Oh I'm sure all this discord will cause the good guys to play like a well oiled machine.
Sigh, it's now time for the final clue. MTV, I shall miss your vague turns of phrase to hype a challenge that will only be revealed 30 seconds later. I guess i shall just have to wait until the Gauntlet 3 for closure. Paula reads the clue which says "for the final challenge you'll face the Big 5. You'll have to work as a team to stay alive." Abram for some reason thinks that in Africa Big 5 means the big game. I have no idea why Abram thinks this because it makes absolutely no sense. I mean what game does he think they will be playing for the final challenge? Mouse Trap? Susie takes a moment to point out that her team is ignoring her and Cara. Hmm i wonder why Susie? Perhaps it's because you put the most undeserving girl on the team into the final Inferno. Alton states that the teams just doesn't care about the girls, completely contradicting his earlier comment about how stacked the team is (unless stacked meant boob size and even then he's still wrong). We're treated to some final moments of our favorite cast members packing and Kenny bragging about how his solid team is going to kick some ass. I will not miss Kenny when this season ends.
We then see TJ introducing the final challenge. It seems like TJ decided to dress sort of formal for the occasion and is wearing a button down shirt. Although like the slob that TJ is he only tucked in half of his shirt. Come on TJ you can at least look presentable for the final challenge.
You totally look half respectable right now.
TJ tells us that both teams get to split the money they've already won meaning each good guy is guaranteed 10k and each bad ass 15k. Hell sounds like these guys already won. I'd love to be paid 10k to appear on a TV show, get drunk, and hook up in South Africa. Final Challenge be damned, I'm taking my 10k and flying back to the states. Except then TJ says that today's challenge is worth 150k so I unpack and then decide maybe I will stay.

Unablogger as much as it pains me to say this... Abram was right. By game he was referring big game animals.
If you were being sarcastic, disregard what I just said.

This was a pretty boring episode. But it fits with the season well, as it was really boring.
My favorite part of the episode was when their super-trendy phones received the clues. I think it was Kenny who shot up from the couch and said "Did somebody say clue?!"
Straight out of Scooby Doo, I'm telling you.
