Gauntlet II Recap

So I apologize that I did not see all of the Gauntlet from this week, so this post is mainly about last week. This episode started out with people boxing and drinking out by the pool. Ruthie and Kina decided that they would take a swing. Ruthie knocked Kina out and kept beating on her. Then they got up and hugged each other. Whats up with that?!?! I want some bitches fighting!! Coral and Veronica would not have just stood there and got their asses knocked down. Where was Katie when all of this was going on?? This season is long overdue for Katie going off on some bitches. Then Kina travels inside where she has a heart to heart with Randy, who she has been dating for several months. Sick.

The mission for this episode involved tires, rope, and a long wooden plank. Teams had to use these objects to travel a certain distance as a team without touching the ground. The veterans finally had the great idea to use the tires as boots and carry other team members to the finish line, then go back and pick up others. The rookies caught on and copied this idea. Alton may have a 30-pack of abs, but he couldn't handle carrying Danny's prissy ass ten feet. Landon had to come save the day. MTV used music to try to make this scene more dramatic, but it didn't work. Then they had to jump over a rope and push a ball down a hill. Sure enough, the Veterans completed this task without problems, and voila! They won $10,000! Yay! I'm so very happy for them and their "I can walk in a tire, jump over a rope, and bounce a ball for $10,000" careers!

Because this was a Female Gauntlet day, rookie team captain Kina would have to face a teammate in the Gauntlet. This was about to get nasty, and Cameran was not happy about it: "Once we have to start voting our teammates off, then people's true sides are going to flare." Do sides flare? I mean, I've heard of tensions flaring but never sides. Yes, Kina announced that Cameran had volunteered to go home, causing Jeremy to tell us, "I don't understand this." Who the hell is Jeremy? He was on about two episodes of his season. Wren from Real World: Austin had more camera time than him. Well Cameran decided to quit, so you think the Gauntlet is going to be boring, but no. Aneesa provides some entertainment for us.

As Cameran officially called it quits, Aneesa reassured her by saying she loved her, but lo! Not everyone can love THE CAMERAN! "You don't love her. You don't know her," snipped Cara from across the Gauntlet. "You don't know who the fuck I know!" Aneesa sassed back with finger wagging and head weaving. "You can still care about somebody! I wish you would get in the fucking Gauntlet with me, BITCH. You wouldn't fuckin' leave it. How about it, BITCH?" "You are so gross," Cara replied, clearly reaching into her repertoire of 6th grade zingers. (To her credit, Cara wasn't exactly wrong, but still, she could have done better). "'You are like so gross because I lost twenty pounds, and I'm hot now so I feel like I can act any way i fuckin' want.' Suck my dick, bitch!" Aneesa replied as Timmy supplied a heavy stream of dumb, mocking faces behind her back. Look Timmy, you're not funny. You never have been, you never will be. It's not a bad thing. It's just the way it is. Now, please go away. Anyway, Aneesa wrapped up her rant with the ever imposing threat, "I don't need a Gauntlet, bitch. I will cut you with WORDS!" She then followed up with an interview, saying, "Now, bitch, you don't know me! You don't know who I know! You don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do to you if I didn't care about being here." Wow. Who did she know? And what were they going to do?? Maybe Aneesa was going to have the lesbian mafia take out Cara.

Nevertheless, Cameran pranced out of the house in chipper spirits, and as the taxi ferreted her off to wherever, Kina and Randy huddled near each other and talked about how being viewed as a couple might be a bad thing. Ah, if only we cared. Does anybody care?

I will try to catch a rerun of this week's episode because I'm sure it will air about 17 times before Monday. I did catch scenes for next week and it looks good. Mark and Robyn have drama. I love Robyn. Quote from Tonya last season. To Robyn "I guess he's just fucking us both". Like that is a good comeback, Tonya.
