Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno 2, Episode 5 - Aww, Beth!

Previously, Beth and Tonya got in a fight over rumors, and Tonya took all of Beth’s things and tossed them in the pool. At the “Run for Your Money” challenge, the Bad Asses tried to set up Beth, but she had ideas of her own, by helping to sabotage her team. In the Inferno, Tina beat Robyn, sending her home, while Beth got in another confrontation, but this time with Veronica.

We begin with Beth saying that it’s hard for her to sleep, and she has decided to leave. No! Not Beth – anyone but Beth! She tells the camera that she doesn’t need the stress of this competition. Karamo goes to talk to her, and she tells him that she doesn’t like the feeling of not knowing if her property is safe. She knows that she can continue to screw over her team, but she doesn’t feel like it. Karamo tries to tell her to stay, but she has her mind made up. I respect your decision, Beth, but I’m going to miss her. She says that in the real world, nobody would get away with disrespecting her stuff, and as her team comes and sees her off, she tells the camera they can enjoy her leftover scraps. I’m already sad.

In the hot tub, Julie says that Beth made a fool of herself. Brad feels that she couldn’t handle it, brought nothing to the table, and he’s glad she’s gone. Um, Brad? If it wasn’t for Beth, your team would have lost the last challenge. Everyone agrees that she can’t run her mouth the way she did, and Derrick says it’s fine because it’s one less weak player they have on their team. Brad still rants that she had no game and nothing to bring. The T-Mobile Sidekick rings with the next clue. Meet in the morning and wear your team colors! Sounds interesting!

Derrick says the Bad Asses are feeling good since they don’t have Beth. Mike hates that people think he and Abe have an alliance. How is that even possible? He says it’s simply not true and Abram is glad that he can compete against Mike since they always have fun. Dan just feels that Mike and Abe are friends, so something is up, and neither wants to see the other go. He knows that people have alliances, but not sure who has one with whom. This is why I hate these challenges – they love their alliances. This isn’t Survivor.

It’s time for the challenge. All the teams meet at the marina. Dave comments on Beth not being around, and the Bad Asses cheer. Damn them! He then explains the next challenge. It’s pretty complicated, or at least, the way he explains it is. Basically, everyone has to line up on a balance beam. Each girl has to put on three pairs of shorts and two shirts, and the guys have to put on three shirts, and two pairs of shorts. Each person has to take off all the layers, and give them to the person next to them, and that person has to put them on. The last person has to switch with the first. The first team to have all their members switch clothes will win.

Veronica says that she is pretty good at taking clothes off, so she’s not sure how she’ll do. I can only shake my head. Dan says he has a plan that since he’s last, he can fall in the water and have to go to the front of the beam, thus being closer to CT, who is first. Darrell thinks the Good Guys have an advantage, since they have one less player. Julie just can’t believe that all the guys on her team have bigger boobs than she does and Mike says that his Speedo isn’t very complimentary to his body, and “Seymour” is packed in. You can guess who Seymour is.

Everyone is now on the beam and Dave blows the horn. Everyone begins to change, and the beam is wobbling on both sides. Jodie says everyone is doing something, so it’s not very stable. Dan jumps in the water, then realizes that when your clothes are wet, they stick, so they are harder to get off. He ends up falling in again. The Good Guys figure out the task pretty quickly, and finish in a matter of minutes. Dave checks them out and says they win. Everyone jumps in the water and Tonya remarks that their strategy was f*#@ed up, while Derrick basically blames Dan. Veronica, actually coming off as semi-likeable for a second, says that they have to learn from their mistakes in that challenge and move on.
