Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat – (Episode 12)
Cue the music..cue the entrances..cue the video game effects with each team being shown together as it gets loaded onto your TV or computer screen. The “alumni” are dressed in black, while the “fresh meat” are dressed in red. Oh..and it’s TJ Lavin as the host playing this “video game”…
We open up with some alcohol, some club action, and some romance. Derrick has a thing for Diem. Diem feels the way. They enjoy spending time together. Diem forgets about her cancer when she is with Derrick. Derrick thinks that Diem gains a lot when she is with him. And isn’t that just sweet. Meanwhile, the same kind of thing is happening with Tina and Kenny, but not as much. Tina still thinks Kenny is sweet and all of that, though.
The teams get a clue for the next challenge. “Now is your chance to really go down under!” Theo jokes about being down in an ant colony. Theo also informs us that there are only 5 teams left and he, Darrell, and Derrick are sticking together to make it to the “final 3”. Lets see if they can keep that going until the end, though.
TJ now explains the rules of this challenge to the teams. It is called “Deep Blue”. The teams will be doing something they have never done before. They have to get on this two-person sled that drops into the water. It’s 30 feet to the bottom..where they grab their flag. They then have to hold their breath for as long as they can. The team that can hold their breath the longest..wins! Derrick and Diem pick the order for the teams.
Wes says Casey doesn’t realize how dangerous this stunt is. She is not scared at all, but the possibility of passing out is there.
Tina and Kenny start things off for us. Kenny says this is one of the hardest things he has ever done. They drop into the ocean and it’s time for our first break!!
Commercial time!
They don’t even make it all the way down as the pressure on their heads and ears is too much for them to take. They fly back to the surface. Tina doesn’t know if they are going into exile because of that or not, but it wasn’t a good day for them.
Darrell and Aviv are next. Darrell is just going to pretend to be a fish right now. They jump into the water and seem to do a little better. They get their flag. Darrell bails out first, but Aviv gets the flag. Darrell says they could have done better, but he was glad Aviv was there.
Theo and Chanda are next. Wes says the farther down they are, the less oxygen they have to use. So Theo and Chanda are smart enough to come back towards the surface and sit there for a few more seconds before coming all the way back up.
Wes and Casey are next and Casey just goes for it. Wes calls that a stupid move on many different levels. He wasn’t ready perhaps. Casey pops back up pretty quickly.
Derrick and Diem are confident. They dive into the ocean and Derrick freaks out when he sees a shark or something. He grabs the flag and swims back up. Diem stays down a little longer and it’s going to be a close time.
Theo says it’s important for him and Chanda to win, but not as important since Derrick and Darrell are with him.
TJ now comes in to tell us the results:
#5 – Tina and Kenny – 0:13
#4 – Wes and Casey – 0:23
#3 – Darrell and Aviv – 0:27
#2 – Theo and Chanda – 0:54
#1 and WINNERS FOR A THIRD TIME IN A ROW – Derrick and Diem – 0:55
A close finish and now a hard decision. Diem wants to put Theo and Chanda in there. Then..it could be Wes and Casey vs. Theo and Chanda. Theo and Chanda are a tough team. But Derrick has this alliance with Theo. Derrick doesn’t want Tina and Kenny to vote Darrell and Aviv into exile either. Time is up and they say they need more time, but they have to decide. Derrick and Diem decide to send…well time for a break, but Derrick can’t look..so you know what that probably means!
Commercial time!
We are back and they decide to send Theo and Chanda into exile! Just as I thought! Theo is shocked!
Now it’s time for the Exile Deliberation! Chanda tells Theo that it was smart for them to put them into exile, because they are competition now. Wes thinks about backstabbing Tina and Kenny or he could stick it to Darrell and Aviv, which he seems to be leading towards. Time to vote now. Tina and Kenny vote for Darrell and Aviv. Darrell and Aviv vote for Tina and Kenny. It’s all down to Wes and Casey now. They vote for Darrell and Aviv and there you go!
Derrick and Diem can’t believe the outcome here. It’s Theo and Chanda vs. Darrell and Aviv. If that stays, then it will be two strong teams and two weak teams left. Aviv says the game has changed now. Of course, NOW is the time for one of those teams to finally win again and win the next challenge to send another team in. It hasn’t happened all game..NOW is the time!
Derrick was sure that Tina and Kenny were going into exile this week. But Tina and Kenny says they have a better chance at winning with Darrell and Aviv gone. Derrick knows it’s not good that his two friends are against each other because of him. Wes tells Derrick to not worry about it.
Darrell is pissed at Derrick now! He’s trying to send him home and only think about himself. Darrell says that Derrick is messing with his money now. Theo wasn’t prepared for this at all either.
Wes and Derrick talk now. They form a new alliance it seems. They both agree that they can’t trust Theo or Darrell. Wes is glad that finally things are going his way!
Derrick and Diem kiss and they continue to kiss. Holding hands..all of that. Diem tries to not like Derrick, but she can’t. Derrick says that he is crazy. How can Diem like that? Diem says that Derrick has a good heart. Derrick says he sees the beauty inside of Diem and they are living in the moment. Makes me sick!
And we are out until next week!
