The Real World / Road Rules Challenge:
Battle of the Sexes: Episode 9 Recap
Oh Mighty Jump Rope, Please Let The Ladies Win!
December 14, 2004
It is do or die tonight. The ladies must win tonight. It is getting pretty pathetic seeing the men just keep on winning. If the women don't win tonight they might as well just hand the game over. In the first battle at least the women won some of the battles even if they lost the war because the men cheated. Hopefully the ladies will not disappoint tonight.
Tonya and Theo seem to be getting quite cozy. I never would have envisioned these two together and quite frankly I never wanted too. As you may or may not know, Theo is one of my all time favorites and Tonya is not. Wow, did it just get cold in here?
Tonya is worried that she might be going home. As she should, she is worthless in the missions unless you count her ability to suck on rocks and rubbing her half naked body all over an ice cube. Oh the bitterness.
Okay getting back to this week and off of my incessant jealousy of Tonya. Has Eric gone mad? What is up with him and his jump rope? I think it very unnatural to have such an obsession over a jump rope. I am thinking Eric and his rope might need to find a good therapist and get the help they so obviously need.
Their mission this week is quite simple. There are three ramps. They must ride down one of the ramps on a bike and and then jump a ramp. If they complete the jump then they will receive the amount of points represented on the ramp.
To help out the ladies, Johnny tells them as an extra bonus, they will be able to answer a pop culture question. If they answer the question they will get six points no matter what ramp they jump. If they do decide to go for a question and get it wrong, they receive no points.
The groups separate and pick leaders. The men choose Theo, Frank, and Brad. The ladies go with Sophia, Arissa, and Tina. Veronica said she was not going to put herself up as a leader and get sent home. What faith she has in her team!
Dan is the first guy and he incorrectly answers his question of "What is Anna Nicole Smith's dog's name?" He answers money when everyone knows that it is sugarpie. The women might have a chance. Steven misses an easy question when he responds that Puck was the first person ever to be kicked off the Real World.
Robin is the only lady to answer a question wrong. How could she not know that on "Friends" Ross tells Rachel that he thought they were on a break? In the end it all comes down to Arissa. If she makes her jump, the girls will win. If not the guys can still make a comeback.
Even though they make it look like she might lose it, Arissa does a great job and wins it for the ladies. For winning, the ladies win Sharper Image massage chairs. They also win back some of their pride. Now it is time to vote someone off.
Over at the men's side the vote is pretty simple. There is no way that they are going to send home Theo or Brad so my poor Frank gets sent home. He is a good sport about it and it reminds me again why I like Frank so much.
The three leaders for the ladies have decided to comprise a list to help them vote someone off. Tonya is not to keen on this idea. She thinks everyone is being too secretive and it is not fair. It didn't really matter though. Even though I am huge Veronica hater and I think Tonya should have gone home first, Tonya is safe yet again.
After the vote off, Tonya calls a meeting of the ladies. She has decided that if there is going to be a "list" then everyone should help write it. Tina explains that the list was for her benefit only and it was not the deciding factor in the vote. Tonya is adamant though about wanting to create a list.
I have a few lists Tonya can be on:
"Worse Real World Cast Members"
"Real World Cast members with implants"
"MTV reality stars that have posed for Playboy"
"Biggest Real World complainers"
I also have a few others but then you really would think I was bitter about her and Theo and that is so far from the truth. Okay not far off but I can't be the only one who thinks he can do better.
The girls get extremely ticked off at Tonya so hopefully we will soon be saying goodbye to her. She is so obsessed about making a list even though no one else wants one. Somewhere Tina, Arissa, and Sophia must be smacking themselves while Veronica laughs in the background.
Next week it looks like the teams are trying to catch ground up animal parts in bowls attached to their heads. Where do they come up with this stuff? See you then.
