Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno 2, Episode 13 - Redecorate My Lifeby Jen Shrader -- 06/01/2005
View Printable version of this article Previously on The Inferno II: Electric Boogaloo, Dan won the first Inferno competition against Jon. Doesn't that seem ages ago? The Bad Asses won "Time to Ride" and Tonya took out Julie in the Inferno. Derrick says Tonya went in there like a "Bad Ass Bitch" and kicked some ass. Night. House. The Good Guy men and Tonya hold a belly flop contest. Tonya wins. I'm surprised she didn't lose an implant on that one. Rachel, CT, and Veronica plot their next move. They want to nominate Dan, in the hopes he will lose. CT says it's at the point now where there are too many people on the team, and the more that lose, the bigger cut of the money he gets in the end. OK, I officially hate him now. Derrick and Dan have their own conference, and Dan says he's well aware of what's going to be happening. He says he knew he'd be going up in the Inferno at the end. Dan says Infernos are fun, but Julie thought so too, and look what happened to her. The kids get their clue to be at the Marina at 11 a.m. in their team colors. Mike says they're going to be eating crabs; Dan says that's fine, since he has crabs right now. Eww. The mission is called "If Memory Serves." The teams each get two minutes to look at a room full of Sharper Image products. They then get 10 minutes to recreate the room exactly, from memory. Get it? If memory serves? So clever. Each team will have a team leader who will be allowed to look close up at the items. The rest will have to gaze from afar. Can I just say, I would SUCK at this mission! My short-term memory is horrible and I've never been able to memorize ANYTHING. Dan is named team leader for the Bad Asses, but immediately tells his team not to rely on him. Huh? He says he doesn't want the mission, since it's a decorating challenge, to boil down to, "Let's get the gay guy to do it," which probably is a good point, but not a good way to inspire your team. Dan says the mission should be simple in theory, but all the items are really small. Jamie, the team leader for the Good Guys, says this is a good mission for her to lead since she's "super anal" and pays attention to detail. Jamie believes since their team has fewer people, there will be less confusion. Dave Mirra whips out his "Sharper Image VX122 Timer" - God, the product placement on this show - and lets the team leaders get to memorizing. Then the 10 minutes starts. Jamie says Shavonda kicks butt on this mission and Tonya says the Bad Asses aren't even arguing, which is different for their team. Hee. With two minutes left to go, Dan realizes he has no idea what's supposed to go on the coffee table. Then at 30 seconds, we get the Trading Spaces-esque montage of things being moved around. The mission ends and the judges whip out a list of where everything should be, which, thank God, because for a minute I was afraid the judging would be subjective on this one. Dan says parts of the room were perfect, others were not. Jamie says it was a lot for one person to memorize and she just hopes they pulled through. Dave has the scores. The Good Guys got 61 out of 79 points. The Bad Asses got 53 of 79. Good Guys win! Tina and Abram both worry that the Good Guys are starting to catch up to them in the money. Dave sends the teams back to deliberate who to send to the men's Inferno, but not before joking with the Good Guys they only have three people left to send. Oh, that Dave. At the Bad Ass deliberations, it comes down to Landon or Darrell. A win over Landon would mean the Bad Asses would lose one of their best players. However, taking out Darrell would be a guaranteed victory. The teams meet and announce their decisions; the Inferno will be Landon vs. Dan. Dan announces he won't need the lifeshield. Dan's nervous, but says the competition could be "Who has the most ridiculous hairstyle," in which case, he'd have a shot. Landon's upset he was nominated, but Mike tells him he can't lose. Later, Dan packs in front of Jamie and Tonya and he's actually crying. Aww. He says there's a 50 percent chance he has to go home, and he can't help but think he doesn't have a chance in hell. Next week: Phil's back to recap! Yay, we've missed Phil! And CT and Dan get in a fight and the mission is called "Crab Grab." No, it's not what you think Jennifer Shrader traded in her boyfriend for a dog, who is always happy to see her, is properly housetrained, and doesn't drink all her liquor while she's taking a nap. She and her dog live in the Deep South, where she's a reporter for a community newspaper. Be sure to sign up for our e-mail update so you can stay informed about new articles on the site!
