It was a fairly uneventful episode. There was the Camila/Jemmye freakout over less than nothing. One thing that was interesting was that Frank is incapable of being even remotely self-reflective. All in all, I think you sometimes need these light episodes as a bit of a breather. Everyone left in the house for the most part has a serious ax to grind, so I think we’re in for a pretty wild last few episodes.
The State of The Challengers
Front Runners
1. Paula & Emily
Michelle: Even Emily couldn’t control Camila while she was in Angel Dust Mode. First sign of weakness this season.
2. Johnny & Frank
Russ: Frank is spitting straight up heatrocks in Jemmye’s direction. Also, he seems to call everyone a rookie. Am I crazy or was his FIRST challenge the Battle of the Seasons?
Michelle: Since when does Frank think he’s a veteran that can ditch his rookie friends? He’s like the captain of the JV squad who thinks he’s hot shit cause the Varsity team let him go out for wings with them once.
3. CT & Wes
Russ: Is this their first win? I can’t remember, but I think they are pretty much getting ready to make a big run at this.
Michelle: Thank the lord, finally! I couldn’t handle watching another embarrassing display by these two.
4. Jordan & Marlon
Michelle: I still think Marlon is tuff (in The Outsiders sense) but not so much tough (in the quitting sense) after this challenge. Oh well, they are still a favorite to make it to the final.
Tough Competitors
1. Camila & Jemmye
Russ: Camila and Jemmye are becoming my favorites. I love their brand of crazy. It’s pretty great to see Camila try to keep Jemmye in check and then turn around go crazy, and need Jemmye to keep HER in check. Awesome cycle. Also, Camila: sweet nip slip lady bro.
Michelle: of course camila and jemmye are both adult lifeguards. Of course they are
2. Aneesa & Diem
Russ: My hatred for this team is growing more by the episode.
Michelle: Diem is loving the CT attention with no intention of getting with him. I’m not into it. Mostly because if I was on the receiving end of his romancing, I would be SO INTO IT. One might say I’d be too into it.
Long Shots
1. Preston & Knight
Russ: Preston getting scared of the dumb witch prank might be the most screentime he’s had this season.
Michelle: The one thing you can do in these challenges to make up for sucking is to not be a quitter. These two can’t even handle that assignment.
2. Cooke & Cara Maria
Russ: Cara Maria, dude! You KILLED IT! Oh wait. You didnt?
Michelle: ah, an elimination with whips and blindfolds! no wonder Cara Maria excelled for once!
GOODBYE YOU LOSERS!
1. Jonna & Nany
Russ: OF COURSE JONNA is roommates with Frank. And OF COURSE Frank has to vote in his roommate, and go back on his word, and send her home. Peace losers.
Michelle: peace out, skags! I’m guessing Jonna will have a new boyfriend by the time the plane lands in the US.
