Early on, I thought that it was going to be game over for the Road Rules. Adam is an experienced mountain climber, but with the added weight, he was really struggling. He and Susie took almost 42 minutes to complete their climb, and if you multiply that times three, you get 126 minutes, which is more than the two hours time limit, which means that if they didn't pick up their pace, they were going to miss out on the money. Luckily, Shane and Kina did much better, even though Shane said that he was scared because he could "die at any point". If this was a free climb or he wasn't wearing a helmet, maybe. These folks were strapped in and there was about as much chance of dying in this mission as there was drowning two weeks ago.
That was a little drama, and with the voting coming along, that should be good for a lot more. Unfortunately, the most exciting part after the rock climbing was Adam farting in the RV. Deliberations are supposed to go badly, especially when the volunteer system is in place, because nobody likes to put their ass on the line, which leads to lots of dumb arguments, and I thought there was a dumb argument when they previewed the episode at the beginning. Instead, Kina volunteered herself. She saw that Veronica and Angel were the top vote getters and she was confident she could beat either one of them. WTF? Kina just deprived us of the most enjoyable part of the show: the arguing! Can't she get anything right?

Ugh. What an absolute dud of a season! Each episode gets more and more boring.

Road Rules couldn't be anymore stupid. Honestly, the producers couldn't have thought of a better idea to make Road Rules better? Why can't they go back to the vintage days where you didn't have to learn a new players name each week.. and the rules are pretty dumb as well.
Also, why does it feel like they're reading off of huge cue cards when they're talking about their challenge? Especially Adam and Dan. I always want to shake them and tell them to read it with some passion!

worst. show. ever.
the production quality stinks (it looks like my uncle charles shot it with his camcorder), i couldn't care less about anyone on the RV, and the challenges are absolutely boring. more duel/gauntlet/inferno. less road rules. please.

i will add the caveat that this show would be much better if they brought back abram to repeatedly punch in the face anyone who loses the pit challenge each week -- guy or girl.

What a snoozefest! At least they gave the Roadmaster something to help with his flailing arms.

I couldn't agree more. What happened to the Road Rules of yesteryear when they would actually travel the country and not just California? I mean I know California's big but come on.
I don't mind seeing the cast get along, but at least make the challenges more dramatic. Until this gets better I'm just going to read the recaps instead of actually watching the show.

Seriously....was I the only one confused by the time clocks being flashed on screen? They made no sense to me at all.

I agree, this season is just hugely BORING and lame.
Did anyone catch Drew saying a very over-excited, "Ready, set, GO!!" at the start of the challenge? He was crouching and everything. Just blow the damn airhorn and say "go", dude.

This episode made me appreciate my DVR and tvgasm all the more! I just "watched" the episode, and by watched I mean I fast-forwarded through most of it.
I actually thought it was pretty cool to see the Roadies reading the comments about them online. And - dare I say - it actually made me like Kina a bit. Not sure why, but I think it made her seem a little human, and not afraid to poke fun at herself.
Veronica will keep going back to the pit until she makes it into the RV, which will hopefully be next week. We need some drama.

On Veronica's blog for this week she said something like 'make no mistake, Kina didn't volunteer herself'.
Also someone said that Tina posted about it on her myspace.
Does anyone know what this is all about?
