Well guys we have another week of Road Rules and another action packed episode! OK maybe I am just kidding, but I need a hook to get more people to read! I did want to mention that, like other new writers, I am looking for some constructive criticism. What do you like, what don't you like, too long, too short, I should never write a recap again? Anything at all! I'm all ears.
Enough of the small talk, lets get to the episode! If you will remember from last week, Shane volunteered himself into the pit while Angel got voted in. That's where we kick off this weeks episode, Shane and Angel in the Pit.
Who will they go up against? Looks like David and Susie. I guess this is falling right in to Susie's big plan! Maybe she isn't so dumb after all. Now if she could just come up with a plan not to look so pale all the time
I have teeny tiny legs
This Pit challenge is called "Fault Line", the catch is that the RV'ers will be facing the Pit Crew members as a 2 on 2 battle royale. This game is set up by having all 4 members tied together by a rope at their waist. They start at the center of the ring and on either side are 2 yellow flags and 2 blue flags. The goal is to get all 4 of your flags before the other team.
It becomes immediately obvious that since David is a mammoth human being, this contest might be a little lopsided. To add to that, Angel isn't happy (What? Angel not happy?) that she has to work with Shane because he voted her into the Pit in the first place. Angel wanted to prove her spot on her own (theme of the day) and not have to work with someone else. Consequently, Shane tells us that this is Angel's time to show that she belongs on the RV. Pressure is on you Angel!
As they line up before the whistle blows, Angel looks like she is about to pass out. I think she knows she is about to get destroyed by David and his sexy Mohawk and pretty baby blue shirt.
Moments later, Dave ate Drew.
Honestly, has Angel done ANYTHING so far? She came in thinking these missions were going to be spoon fed to her, umm sorry hunnie, these missions are BRUTAL! She might just be the weakest competitor that MTV has ever lined up. But what Angel lacks in physical strength and intelligence, she makes up it for with drama! Perfect swap. She's coming back next week I can feel it! David tells us he doesn't care about Susie, he just wants to get the flag himself. David - it's like a three legged race, you have to work as a team my man.
The whistle blows and instantly the crowd moves Davids way. Angel falls down and complains (shocker) about her knee. David then proceeds to pick Shane's leg up and basically carry him and everyone else to one side to get the first set of flags. Angel is literally just lying on the ground and complaining and not moving at all. "What the freak is this?!" she cries, oh, that's just David completely man-handling your team.... by himself.
I am all that is man!
We've come so far in 60 years
Shane somehow gets a burst of energy and takes out one of David's legs and starts creeping towards the other side of the Pit so that he can get his own flag. Shane and Angel actually get close to grabbing a flag when all of a sudden David has a roid rage and drags all 3 of them with him back to the other side to grab the last flags. And just like that David and Susie will now be on the RV.
Please tell me that Angel will make an appearance again. I want to see her and Kina fight. I picture it going down like those old Bugs Bunny cartoons, Angel would punch Kina in the head, but her hair would act as steel and therefore break Angels hand. It might be farfetched, but hey, don't knock a mans dream.

Great recap! As much as I loved J-Unit and his recaps he just didn't seem very into this show, so I'm glad you've taken over.

Great recap! LOVED the screen caps!!! :)
Sooo glad Angel is gone. I have never seen a rw/rr contestant with so much attitude and so little to back it up! And that's saying something considering we've seen people like Tonya, Katie, and Osama Beth Laden.
Shane is one of the most likeable rw/rr people ever. Sad to see him out. And I still can't believe that nobody has voted Veronica back in yet!

I've never been a super fan of Road Rules, even when it was really good five or so years ago. And after all the crossover challenges and duels, MTV is running out of ideas for the actual tasks te kids had to perform. That ice thing was stupid - one of those kids should have been swept away by the current. I miss the days of people battling on tight ropes/bungee cords.
And I hate Kina soooo much.
However, love the recaps, and I have to agree with "insertnamehere," J-Unit didn't seem to have the passion for this show you do, Hit 'em Up. Hope you keep up the great work!!

Oh, and that "Du Hast" screen cap of Dan is going to haunt my dreams...

I hate Angel! She's a completely useless human being. She makes me want to beat the crap out of her!! And she made me like Kina, which was NOT easy.
The Pit challenge was completely unfair. David weighs more than Shane and his useless partner put together.

Why do some of the pictures here and on The Real World have time stamps on them? Is that some crappy DVR tecnology (non TiVo)?
