This episode begins with Danny (Austin) going off about being voted into the Inferno. Aneesa (chicago) makes some sort of comment about him not having confidence in himself. The team gets their mission. They have a wall climbing challenge, where the guys have to work with the girls in order to scale a wall.
The Good Guys have an extra guy, so they have to make a girl go twice, while the Bad Asses have to make a girl sit out. Colie (Tonya) goes twice, while Aneesa sits out. Abram (South Pacific) and Tonya (chicago) go first for the Bad Asses. They get great times. Alton (Las Vegas) and Colie (Denver) DQ because Colie drops the flag. Everyone is mistified that Alton would get a DQ.
The Bad Asses end up DQing when Kenny (Fresh Meat) and Jenn (Denver) go up. So the teams even themselves out. Danny and Ev (Fresh Meat) have some trouble communicating through the wall. Davis (Denver) and Colie have trouble and can't beat the previous time of John (Key West) and Paula (Key West). Abe and John win the LifeShields and they have the chance of giving the LifeShields to Davis or Danny.
Danny seems to be intensely involved in winning the Inferno. Abram decides not to use the LifeShield. John decides to let the new guy pay his dues. The Inferno is a glorified game of tag where the two contestants have to run around this apparatus, until one does a complete cycle and laps the other person. Davis, being the ultimate runner, beats Danny, sending him home.
Jenn and Davis talk about being pushed back into a corner and being pushed to go to the Inferno each time. The teams get their mission and the Bad Asses are worried about the fact that they only have three guys left in the competition.
Then comes the Susie (Australia) and Tonya (Chicago) fight. Susie asks Tonya what perfume she's wearing. Tonya tells her. Susie tells her that she smells like a stripper, but in a good way. Tonya tells her that she's not stupid and for her to shut up. Susie tells her that there's people starving over the world and she's complaining about the little things. Susie thinks Tonya is bipolar and needs to be prayed for.
The Challenge is grape smash. They have to take grapes, bring them into wine barrels, smash them up, and transfer the juice with their mouth to group buckets. The most juice, wins. The guys are freaking out about wearing the speedos. Ace (Paris), Alton (Las Vegas), and Timmy (USA Tour 2) don't want to wear the speedos.
They don't compete and the Good Guys are obviously suffering. The Bad Asses defeat the competition. The Bad Asses have about 15 bottles while the Good Guys have about 5. The Bad Asses lead $40,000 to $30,000. The stage is set for a Susie/Tonya battle.
The rest of the episode finds the two at each others throats. Susie is nominated. Tonya is nominated. Susie, Cara, and Colie sit in a circle, eating chips and salsa, taking turns saying why they hate Tonya. Tonya goes on a tirade telling Ev why she hates Susie and wants to send her home.

We'll also see the first half of the girls competition. Tonya (Chicago), for whatever reason, goes off on Susie (Australia) during this episode.

A "major rules violation" sends all of the Roadies to the Pit
If you go over to the Road Rules website, you'll see a Pit Preview for the season finale. In it, Drew Bell tells the Roadies that there has been a "major rules violation" in the past couple of weeks.
What's the rules violation? No one seems to know. It could possibly be that the Roadies have spoiled the outcomes of the Pit/missions almost every week since the show started. However, it seems to be more of a ploy to scare up some ratings and prevent the Roadies from revealing tomorrow night's outcome.
So far, there has been no confirmation as to what went down in the Pit, but we'll see once tomorrow rolls around to see which Roadies are here to stay. Also, expect a final Pit Stop as the final mission tomorrow, as a couple of Pit Crewers went out to Los Angeles to do some filming this weekend.

With season finale this Wednesday, Viewers Revenge should have wrapped up filming
This weekend should have been the last of the Pits, the last of the missions, and the fate of the six Roadies who made it to the end, should have been decided.
David (Viewers Revenge), Derek (Viewers Revenge), Kina (Extreme), and Susie (Australia) had all been guaranteed spots in the final mission. Both Adam (The Quest) and Tori (Viewers Revenge) were sent to the Pit one last time in order to defend their spot on the RV.
The last few moments of the episode should have been filmed this weekend, production should be wrapped up, but so far, no inkling of what went down has been leaked as of yet.
The general consensus is that the final mission will be identical to a "Pit Stop" and the remaining six Roadies have to battle it out with the Pit Crew in order to get their handsome reward. So far, there has been no news as to whether Tori and Adam made it out of the Pit, nor who of the Pit Crew faced the two in the Pit, or what happens during this final mission.
Post any information you have here. Stay tuned for more info.

Viewers Revenge Episode #15: Viva Las Vegas and the alliance finally sacrifices themselves in the last Pit
The Pit was between David (Viewers Revenge) and none other than Dan (Viewers Revenge). The two began their Pit and they played . David beat Dan because Dan eventually ran out of balls.
The RV is ecstatic to see David back on the RV, which may mean that he's a part of the group now? The Roadies get their clue and they are told to go to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The group starts reading the bloggers and then they begin to discuss future impending Pits.
The group gets to Las Vegas and they learn that they are going to take part in Ka, the Cirque de Soleil show which plays at the MGM. They have to audition for the show as part of the mission. The cast practices a little tumbling. The cast goes to the Palms Hotel/Casino, which surprisingly, the Las Vegas cast just had vacated, to go party. David makes Derek (Viewers Revenge) and Tori (Viewers Revenge) promise that they won't vote for him. No one knows what will happen.
Each element of the audition is worth 30 points. There are three phases of the audition. If they can get 75 points, they win. The first phase is makeup. The second is a climbing/strength course. The third is the pendulum. Kina (Extreme) makes a couple of jokes about the first phase, but it's pretty cake for the cast. The whole cast beats the second part of the mission under five minutes. Derek, however, has issues when he pops his bicep muscle.
Derek decides to continue on because the stakes are so high. The pendulum is just a swing on the pendulum, catching a teammate, they doing something artistic. They eventually find out that they don't pass with a weird scoring system. Susie and Tori get 14 points. Kina gets 11 points. Kina feels like she facing the Pit, but she still won't volunteer.
Derek comes back with a torn bicep and he won't get cleared until he gets a MRI. Tori immediately volunteers herself for the Pit. Tori says that David isn't going, but she instead chooses Adam goes into the Pit. Adam makes it clear that it isn't about performance, mentioning that David is the weakest male on the team.
They are both apprehensive about leaving the grand prize as this is the last Pit before the handsome reward mission. Adam calls David "a big dumb animal." David laughs at Adam. Who will be the final team in the RV?

Derek is tired of Road Rules, wants to go home, may finish taping this week
A very short interview came out in a Jacksonville newspaper in which he talks about his Road Rules experience.
He talks about how he was cast, with a tape that he submitted nearly three years ago. Although he didn't expect the cameras to come asking him for a shot to get on the RV, he decided to sign on anyway.
He talks about the experience, how he doesn't like being in a town where he doesn't know many people. Clearly, everyone on the RV is ready to go home, as this isn't the first time when we've heard the cast say something about wanting to leave and return home. Derek mentions that filming will wrap up as early as this week, which means that the series may end even earlier than everyone has anticipated.
He also closes out the interview that he's looking forward to riding out the wave a couple of more years and doing some Challenges in the next couple of years.

MTV releases press release about casting website; Realworldcasting.com opens today
In a piece of news that we confirmed the other day, MTV is confirming in a press release that realworldcasting.com will open today.
The press release also underscores how the casting process will go:
"The Real World" Casting site is designed to be a highly immersive experience that engages viewers on multiple levels, from castee to judge. Viewers who join the community can register to be considered for the show or serve as a judge to help determine who makes the cut. In either instance, they are connected to the larger community of "The Real World" fans who share similar passions and who want to stay connected to -- and help influence -- the story arcs, characters and themes they see on-air.
Viewers who throw their hat into the ring for the cast of Season 20 must submit a 90-second 'confessional' video detailing their passions, life experiences and phobias. Viewers who elect to serve as judges can climb a virtual casting hierarchy to serve in any number of roles, from Head of Casting, to VP of Casting, Casting Director, Casting Associate, Casting Intern or just plain Voter. The hierarchy is determined by the number of votes a registered user casts; the more one votes, the higher on the ladder they climb. But it's not just castees who make it onto MTV. Even judges may appear throughout the season to discuss whom they voted for and why.
The current season of "The Real World: Denver" ranks #1 in its time period (10-10:30 p.m. Wednesdays) among P12-34 versus cable competition and has reached 91.4 million total viewers season-to-date. The season finale of "The Real World: Denver" is May 16. The next season -- season 19 -- will take place in Sydney, Australia and is currently in production. The viewers chosen through the RealWorldCasting.com site will be members of "The Real World" season 20.

Inferno 3 Episode #5: The Good Guys faced with trouble, band together, win
The episode started out with the cast partying it up in South Africa. Everyone is having a grand old time and the cast is pretty drunk off their rocker. Most people go into the Challenges for two reasons: 1) money and 2) to have a good time. Cara (South Pacific) makes the comment that she hopes they send in Ace (Paris) because he isn't at the Challenge for the right reasons. The cast gets their clue for their next mission.
One night, at 3AM, ACe, Johnny (Key West) and Danny (Austin) decide to go into the girls room, play music really loud, and just wreak havoc. While Ace is shaking the ladder of Susie's (Australia) bed and is climbing up to sing to her, Susie smacks him three times in the face. Ace leaves.
There's palpable tension between the two before the mission. Susie sends Timmy (USA Tour 2) as a messenger prior to the mission beginning so they can squash any tension. Ace doesn't want to do it.
The mission: The teams have to cross a river with all these materials to build a fire. Once at the other side of the river, the teams have to build a fire to burn through a rope that will release a platform that carries three castmembers. Meanwhile, these three castmembers have to dump water on the teams that are passing under the platform to get their materials for building the fire wet.
It all comes down to the fire building and actually starting the fire. It all comes down to lighting steel wool with a battery. They actually figure it out fairly quickly, but they aren't bunching up the steel wool enough to light the fire. Danny and Johnny and Ace seem to be leading the teams. TJ gives them a clue. The Good Guys light their fire. The Good Guys win and pull ahead by $10,000.
Time for nominations. The Bad Asses nominate Davis (Denver) because they think he's weak. The Good Guys nominate Danny because they think he's the level-headed "brains" of the operation. Danny takes this as a signal that the Good GUys think he's weak, which makes him want to go into the Inferno headfirst. Someone makes a comment that it's a bit self-defeating to think that way, which is excellent foreshadowing. Ace and Susie apologize to each other. Ace realized that he acted poorly and Susie realized that she shouldn't have hit Ace.
