RW/RR CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE SEXES 2

Week six: Flirting from outcasts, chair-fillers and paintball shooting

I was unable to report on last week’s Battle of the Sexes due to the entertaining but disappointing Vikings game. They lost due to the gaping holes in their defense. Even I could run a good 125 yards on the Vikes, and I get a sideache just walking to the mailbox.

I caught the rerun, however, and in an entertaining challenge the women finally earn a victory. Middle-aged Cynthia gets sent home for being a wuss, and Derek gets sent home for drinking too much. Onto week six…

The pre-challenge segment involves the budding relationship between Angela and Frank, a side story interesting to absolutely no one. With the arsenal of psychos and spazzes on hand for this season, MTV should be absolutely ashamed for dedicating camera time to the flirting of two saps like Frank and Angela. MTV is reaching Jim Brown heights in terms of wasted potential.

THE CHALLENGE: High Noon
High Noon (named after a classic movie likely seen by none of the competitors) involves a good ol’ fashioned shootout with paintball guns. Before the challenge, playing cards are distributed to each member, ranging from two points to fourteen points. The more experienced shooters were to take the higher number card.

Nothing taxing or technical about this particular challenge as each contestant shoots at each other in a face-off until someone gets hit. The men start slow but end up clinching in the third-to-last showdown. With the victory by the men, they take a commanding five to one lead in missions.

When it comes time to discuss elimination, the guys quickly decide the two worthiest competitors to get kicked off are Shawn and Nick. This poses the main question: who is Nick? Is he a member of the camera crew substituting for a real member, like the chair-fillers during the Oscars?

THE ELIMINATION
The women vote off the obvious choice: the crooked-banged Angela. No one cares. The men send home Shawn, who does a Dave Chappelle impression during his final speech, claiming racism as the factor for his departure. He is just joking, and his joke is funny, and it makes me chuckle, which slowly turns in to a cackle.

Next week: The women again discuss argue about playing favorites (as Katie’s insanity finally finds the spotlight). Also, the competition involves worms crawling into crotches.
