The Quick and the Dumb - 
by J-Unit
You have to love the good folk at Bunnim/Murray for at least putting forth the effort in attempting make each new iteration of the Real World/Road Rules challenge seem unique. I always thought that the methods each of the various challenges used to get rid of their less useful members was always a little unfair. Then again, I am sure that the producers don't care because if there was too much fairness when removing members, the show would lose a lot of its drama, not to mention opening the possibility for some of our recurring cast members to leave early in the game. The current team captain method makes some sense, until you realize that the challenges rarely, if ever, involve any sort of element where a strong leader is going to make a difference in the outcome. Since the girls team hasn't had much success staying competitive, there is no advantage to being a leader on their team. With no advantage to being a leader, there is less of an incentive for the other people to give a shit about what they are doing other than monetary compensation. While free low rider bikes and Playstations are nice incentives, the only one that really matters is the last one, since that likely means a new car.
Last week, Angela was spared thanks to a beast we thought would never appear - a sensible women's inner circle. How did Angela spend her newly found lease on reality life? Why, getting to know Frank of course! Angela's time could have spent her time more wisely by at least trying to convince the members of her team that they should keep her. The women's team is a popularity contest, and although I understand that Angela is really enjoying her time with Frank, they will see each other back in LA! Angela is trying to be an actress and Frank is in grad school. Besides, her attraction to Frank is less attraction and more sort of a coveting of somebody who will stick around long enough for her to finish several sentences in a row. Frank turned out to be the second person she has known in two years that has shown this quality, so Angela is not surprisingly all atwitter about the whole ting. Uh oh, last time the producers focused on a new relationship with Coral and Abram, the guy was sent packing. I hope that doesn't mean bad things for Frank. Well, actually I could care less, If all that editing can't make Frank look engaging, I am not about to try in person.
This challenge was one that didn't require anybody to be in a bathing suit, and the message said that they would need to be well rested and aware of all of their senses. I think what this really meant was that they had gone way over on the booze budget, so they wanted people to think they had to be sober the next day. The name of the challenge was "High Noon", and although it sounds like the first "To Do" item on the Lindsay Lohan calendar each day, it was in fact a simple duel in the desert. One guy and one girl had to stand about 75 feet from each other, and commence shooting after a signal sounded. The first to hit their opponent was the winner, although you should know that they were using paintball and not real guns, clearly diminishing the number of interesting scenarios possible once guns started blazing.
