Dan tells us in a confessional that Tori likes to flirt, but he knows she means nothing by it which sucks because he cares about her. Back in the RV he turns into the exorcist, his voice drops, his eyes bug out and curse words start to fly. I was waiting on the green vomit, but it never came...damn. Tori takes Dan's blow up as referencing her directly so they decide to take it outside to discuss, rather than show their true colors in front of all the RV'ers. Rational thinking by Road Rulers? Abe - take notes.
'
Du...du hast....du hast mich!!
Tori tells us that she has been grouped with Dan ever since the beginning but she is her own woman. It has always been Dan and Tori this, Dan and Tori that, but she has fun with and without him. The main idea I got from that was that Tori doesn't give a shit about Dan.
They have their words with each other and bring their feelings to the table. Tori tells Dan she just wants to be best friends and that's it. No guy wants to hear that by the way. Who wants more friends? We already have enough, thank you.
The next morning, they are outside determining who to send to the pit. Adam asks if anyone wants to say anything about anyone else (wink wink Dan and Tori). He is instigating just like Shane was doing last week with Angel. I wonder if MTV pulled Adam aside and told him to bring that up? Well, nothing came of it, except for Dan saying he has to cut his ties and move on. And what is the best way to do that? Volunteer yourself into the Pit of course. Dan wants to face Derek to try and prove himself (again with the proving of ones self). He tells the gang that he really just wants to tear someone's fucking head off, that's why he's going in to the Pit. That'll win over the girls Dan-O.
Then Dan and David have a weird heart to heart moment that was totally insincere yet touching at the same time. We learn that Dan had the best week of the trip ever since David got there. Awwww.
The episode ends with Tori telling us she is tired of talking about "Dan and Tori". She still likes him as a friend, he has a lot of great qualities and he'll make some girl really happy, just not her. Ouch.
What do you guys think? Pretty lame episode huh? Will Dan and Tori get together eventually? Who will get voted into the Pit?

I think this was a v. good recap :) Your screencaps were wicked funny!!
I think one awesome moment you missed was David sobbing a little in the RV after Dan volunteered himself.

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)?
