Well for the first time in a while, this episode was actually slightly entertaining! The reason being, you get to see everyone hurt themselves which is inherently funny. Last week Derek volunteered himself in to the Pit and America voted him to go up against Dan. Shocker! Dan comes out and says how he has a vendetta against Tori and Susie and wants to get back on the RV because everyone is against him. Derek looks a little nervous and tells us that he has everything to lose while Dan has everything to gain. I don't quite follow that last statement. Whoever wins gets a spot on the RV, whoever loses goes back to the Pit Crew. So how does Derek have everything to lose? Did MTV say they were going to take away his spot on the show, his house, car, credit cards, family, girlfriend, pets, clothes, food and money? If so, THAT is everything to lose.
We find out the Pit Challenge is called Grip Breaker. This is the same challenge from a few weeks ago that got Angel onto the RV. The two opponents lie on their backs, head to head, while holding a rope in the air. The object is to wrestle the rope away from the other person. Whoever comes out holding the rope wins their way to the RV.
Dan and Derek start wrestling for the rope and it looks pretty evenly matched. Both are flailing around trying to get better leverage. It couldn't have felt too good because they were wrestling on a metal floor. Can't MTV throw a wrestling mat down or something? Right as Derek and Dan start to really get into it, we cut to commercial....and the jump!
In the RV Tori tells everyone that she wants Derek and not Dan to be joining them. She says Derek is great and brings such a positive energy. Susie tries to dig a little and asks "LIKE OMG what will you do if it is Dan??" Tori then has horrific flashbacks of her and Dan fighting, but diplomatically tells Susie that she will hopefully try and resolve anything that they have between them. Like the last time? That worked well. Like a little gossip queen, Susie turns to David and asks who he wants back? David tells the RV that he couldn't choose between his two boys so it would be unfair to say. Less than 7 milliseconds later he tells us in the confessional that he wants Dan to come back. David - you know the RV'ers are going to watch this after it airs so you might as well just come out with it.
The RV pulls over to the side of the road and who is waiting to get picked up?? Derek in his mullet wig! You stay classy Derek. Yayyyyy, cheers all around and a big hug from Tori. So how did Derek beat Dan?! That's what we are all dying to know! Thankfully, MTV shows us that after wrestling for a bit, Derek got his body in Dan's way, used it for leverage and just gator rolled a few times to take the rope away from Dan.
Tori, who is trying hard to flirt with Derek, tells him that she thinks his hair cut is so cute. Tori, hunnie, that mullet he was sporting was just a wig, it's not real hair! I didn't see any difference, it just looks like the same 'ol buzz cut to me, but I digress. Tori also tells us that Derek is way more her type than Dan ever would've been. Sorry, no more Dantastic time. Susie tells Tori she now has to kiss Derek. Subtle. Tori climbs over the bus, kisses Derek, then Susie gushes "so how was it????". Tori was obviously embarrassed, so was I.
The gang gets their new message and it says they are going to Camp Woodward West and they "are going to 'drop in' for a visit". Ooooo 'drop in' huh? I love the speculation they have afterwards. Maybe they will drop out of a plane? Or or or wrestle in a pit of gum drops? The light above Derek's head finally goes off and he thinks it has to do with skateboarding, to which Susie appropriately replies "shut your face!". Sadly, this didn't get a good reaction out of anyone. No awkward silence or anything. Shut your face? Who says that? Well Derek can back up his logic because he has played Tony Hawk video games and knows there is a place called Woodward West, he KNOWS it's a skate park. What up now Susie!
MTV shamelessly shills a Spider-Man 3 ad.

Someone needs to kick Tori in the head...although I'm sure it'd make a hollow sound.

HAHA, that kiss by Tori and Derek was very awkward. I hate 'em.
