Let me just start off by saying thank you to those who read my columns. This week was painfully boring, but I enjoy reading your comments, keep 'em comin!
As usual we start with the Pit challenge this week. If you'll flash back to last week, you'd remember that David got voted in to the Pit. He wanted to make that clear to all of us that he didn't volunteer himself, he got voted in. You say potato I say who gives a F? Well, who did America vote in to face David? Shane of course. Somehow I feel like Jerry, Monte, Ivory and Kristen (who?) will never get their fair shake. Personally, I want to see Tori, Kina, Angel and Veronica on the RV at the same time, I mean that is just oozing with potential. To the jump!
So it is David against Shane in the Pit for a spot on the RV. Shane tells us that "everyone has this perception of me of not being strong just because I fuck men". Woahhhh woah woah there buddy, we don't need to delve into that issue. We think you are weak because you order Wet Pussies at the bar. Right off the bat you have to think if it is anything physical, David will dominate because, well, he is the size of Earth. If it is a duel of who can make a cosmopolitan the fastest, then just give Shane his ticket to the RV before it even starts.
The Pit Challenge is called "Fumble". David and Shane stand about 15 feet from each other and in the center is a football suspended from a string. When Drew blows the whistle, the football drops and the goal is to pick up the football and cross your opponents starting line first. First person to do that twice wins. Could that make this any more lopsided? Hey instead of David and Shane, let's replace them with Ray Lewis and Michael Flatley, that's about the same ratio.
Round one and we see David in the 3 point stance ready to pounce on the ball. Whistle blows and David picks it up (along with Shane) and plows his way across Shane's line. That was quick. Shane tells us that it feels like he "hit a brick f'ing wall", well that's generally what happens with you are giving up 100+ pounds to someone.1-0 David. Round two, the ball drops and bounces around for a bit, but David again dives on it first. There was a little bit of a struggle before David just mowed his way over Shane again. This challenge was over before it started. 2-0 David and a spot on the RV again.
As David is waiting outside for the RV to pick him up, he has nightmarish dreams about the RV'ers voting him in to the Pit last week. I love how it is edited; past events in slow motion, everything is blurry, spooky music playing in the background. I'm sure he lost a lot of sleep over it. David was probably sitting there thinking about what he is going to eat next, not what happened a week ago. But he tells us that he isn't as happy to see the RV this week as he was last week, because he knows they don't really want him there. Good, so no nakedness right? THAT is what deserves the nightmarish dream flashback. Tori tells us that she is still furious at David because he told the cameras, and not her, that she was fake. She would rather have Shane come back on the RV even though they don't get along either. Tori is just making all sorts of friends, isn't she?

David's a doucher, but Tori IS a cock-teasin' fake-ass bitch and I'm glad he's making her miserable. And Susie's a stupid skank. And Adam's another douchebag. How bad is this group that Derek looks good by comparison?

How bad is this group that Derek looks good by comparison? Thanks for the summary...the picture and caption for Kina's freakout was sweet.

Long time reader of the MTV shows, but first post ever on TVGasm...
I have to get this off my chest, although I should know better than to ever try to rationalize MTV reality shows.
I think we were completely misled back when the previews "pumped us up" for this season of Road Rules. First of all, the whole kicking people off aspect is ridiculous.
Second, why call it Road Rules when you don't actually ever hit the open road. Why are they sticking around the west coast? What do they do all week being that that the show is shown in "real time". It seems like each new destination is a day trip at most.
Lastly, remember all the hype about how bad it would suck to be on the Pit Crew? I actually thought that this was a second RV that was a piece of sh*t and it would drive behind the Road Rules RV. The Pit is a studio somewhere in LA (I think) and the Pit Crew are just people that sit at home and wait to get the call.
Also, who are the people voting in Pit Crew members. None of us wanted to see Shane vs. David. These veterans have been on so many of these pathetic challenges that frankly, I don't ever want to see them compete again... let alone win a boatload of money.
Okay, I'm done ranting. It's just that I actually miss the old school Road Rules. Ya know, Kit and Mark coon hat shopping at Wall Drug. Ah, the good ole days!

100% agree with you Jenn! I was SO happy to hear that Road Rules was back, but after 2 episodes, I stopped watching.
They turned Road Rules into a RW/RR Challenge format by bringing back veterans and installing a pit crew. Its so Freshmeat like.
Problem is, as a standalone show, Road Rules in its current format is no where near as good as the Challenge. Nobody is going to root for newbies if we have veterans around. At least in Freshmeat, they were paired up with veterans!

Forgot to say...
I want the original format of Road Rules back. No kicking people off, no veterans. Just six newbies in a (preferably) foreign country.

I WISH Veronica got on the RV! She hasn't been on since she lost that first time to Torie.
