Evan says he doesnt want his arms to be sore for the duel and says have fun down there as he let's her go. OK, that's kinda funny. He laughs as she goes down. Oh, evan, you have officially won one point with me. One point. There's still one million reasons why I hate you, so don't get too cocky.
Lando and Brit and Mark and Rachel are the last two to go. Both hang on for a long time, so it's going to be close.
TJ puts the bong down long enough to tell us the final score -- The Elders win by 20 seconds.
The Elders sit down to decide who to save, even though we all know that doesn't mean shit and you're not really saving them. They decide to save Landon and not worry about anyone else.
At the save ceremony, The Elders announce that they're saving Lando, who saves Brit, who saves Evan, who saves Diem, who saves Brad, who saves Tori, who saves MJ, who saves Aneesa, who makes a really dumb joke and picks....Big Easy. What?! What about Issac?!
Easy picks Jen, who picks Derek, who picks Kimberly, who picks Dunbar, who picks Paula, which leaves Ruthie and Issac to go into the Duel. Noooooo!!
Ruthie picks Kimberly and Issac picks....Lando?! Oh, Issac, honey, why? I know you're upset about the big toenail but come on buddy. I'm officially disappointed in you (but I still love you.)
They pick their games, and I honestly don't know if there is a game where Issac would have an advantage over Lando. Ruthie picks Back Off and Issac picks Spot On.
We jump right to the Dude Duel. I guess if there's any game where Issac may have an advantage, this would be the one, but it ain't looking good. Issac has a pretty good strategy, to lay the pieces out on the ground and when they're all correct, start climbing and putting the puzzle together.
Lando has a similar strategy and he seems to be kicking much more ass, and he wins. By a lot. Which means Issac is going home. Noooooooo. Tear.
I don't want to watch Issac walk away. Come back to the next challenge, buddy! He hugs Ruthie goodbye and says "I did my best, Ruth" and my cold, cold heart melts just a little bit. PLEASE bring him back to the next Challenge MTV producers! Or shit, have him host if Dyrdek isn't available.
Over to the girl's duel, Ruthie and Kim are playing Back Off, where you have to grab the ring off the other person's back and hang it up. Kim is surprisingly putting up a good fight and wins the first round. And the second! Holy crap, that skinny little chick sent Ruthie home.
Evan closes the show for us with yet another douchey sound bite, which I refuse to give him the satisfaction of typing out. So there, guess I showed him.
Issac, I will miss you but hope to see you soon!

Bermuda Love Triangle
We open this week's episode with yet another Dumb Quote from Evan. He tells us "if you thought this was ugly, perverse before (wait, is he talking about the show or the opening?) now the big guys are going at it." Um, ok, thanks for the newsflash.
Dunbar and Paula are fighting over, oh, who knows or cares with these two. Let's say they're fighting over if he should punch her in the left eye or the right eye. Paula, like the abused weirdo she is, tells us fighting with Dunbar is exciting, like poking a monster on a stick, because you don't know what he'll do. Did you watch his season? He'll obviously beat you.
Dunbar goes crying to Kimberly about Paula being a big meanie-head. He tells us "if I was single, Kim's one of the ones I'd hook up with." K is saying its mutual, but he has a GIRLFRIEND.
The kids are bored, so the girls are giving the guys makeovers. Mark is getting a facial and an anti-wrinkle treatment while Big Easy is getting two eyebrows. Yay for boys plucking!
We are introduced to our first official Love Triangle, starring Dunbar, Paula and Kimberly. Paula is getting pissed about all the attention Kim is getting! Dunbar is getting violent!

@ k37744 : OK I totally LOL'ed when you pointed out my mistake and I'm NOT FIXING IT!

HEY, lay off Kimberly-She's been NICE and kind to everyone and didn't even get mad when Dunbar picked Paula. Who cares if she's racist, I'm sure there's more that are, they are just keeping it quiet. She's the ONLY one with GUTS to admit it.
And I was mad that both Isaac and Eric went home, I was hoping Derek would pick Evan and take him out.
Anyway, I predict Dunbar and Paula will go home next week.

I'm with Blakelovesthechallenge.....I know Kim made a dumb comment on her other show but she seems to be one of the most normal chicks in the house.

Honestly, Bri herself has said that Kim was one of the people she was closest to in the Hollywood house and that she and Kim have talked about all the comments in that one ep. I couldn't stand Kim on her RW season, but on this challenge, she really hasn't bothered me at all -- I'll take her ANY DAY over Paula, for sure.

I have to admit yet again, how much I love this friggin' show. And the recaps just make me like it even more, because I get to read about all of the things that I am thinking while I watch it.
But I must say that I get so friggin sick and tired of listening to these pansy ass guys talk about how others are playing the game shady. Same with survivor and pretty much every other reality game show. "They don't play the game with honor." "He lied to me." blah, blah, blah.
It is a game. They are all there to win. is there a right way and a worng way to win as long as it is within the rules?
Every time Evan has got called into the Duel he has bitched and moaned like a little ol' girl. Look at Big Easy and Landon. they get called in and they go in whithout a word to say and do their best to win. Landon took care of business without saying a word. Big Easy went home without a cross word to anyone.
If I wnet on one of these shows I would lie, cheat and steal to win. And even more importantly I would expcest everyone else to do the same to me.
I will say that the duels will be pretty interesting from here on out because all of the weaker players are gone.

PopPrincess I LOL'd when I saw you spelled Florida wrong. I can relate though, I once posted a smartass facebook comment spelling genius wrong. Ah the irony.
Also, am I a total tool because I kept laughing at the fact that all the duelers had rhyming names? Eric and Derek and Kim and Jenn. Heee hee.
I think the answer is yes, yes I am a total tool.
Awesome recap!!

Kimberly isn't half as annoying as she was on RW. Actually she's not too bad, but I still love your references to blackville. Kim should've picked Diem - what a total fake (she couldn't have picked Brittini b/c her and Landon won that challenge).

Evan is totally the Danny Gokey of RR/RW Challenges!

You know I was really hoping Mark would win the challenge again just so he could yell "PRUNES!", grab onto his walker, and then wonder where the hell he is.
...Or maybe I will just leave all of the old jokes up to you PopPrincess.
Excellente recap, I was just as annoyed with Paula as you were. I never thought she was that bad until now. I mean, at the end of the Island she was a whiny snot, but now she is one of those clingy, whiny snots. WHAT WILL FIX THIS NONSENSE??
