Dueling Idiots: Week 8

I caught this week’s installment of MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge on delay so I’m going bullet style in the interest of posting this quickly.

o Highlight of the ep? Clearly it was Evan (Fresh Meat) huddling in his bed near tears while he reads Eat, Love, Prey.
o The one thing these challenges never lack is hypocrisy. How can Aneesa (RW: Chicago) call out Rachel (RR: Campus Crawl) over a fling with Jen (RW: Denver) when that was the same thing the two of them did SEVEN years ago? (BTW, that sentence literally made my head hurt)
o I like seeing Diem (Fresh Meat) cry as much as the next person but how many more “suspend the douchebag” challenges can we have?
o Landon (RW: Philly), aka son of Zeus, continues to look damn near unbeatable. I know anything can happen in the final weeks, as the contestants constantly tell us, but we’re approaching man among boys territory.
o Finally saw a chink in the armor of Landon’s “partner” Britney (RW: Hollywood). She still is in the upper echelon of competitors but is no longer on an equal standing with challenge winner Rachel.
o The Duel was full of surprises. Not surprised Evan won but completely shocked at the way Derrick (RR: Viewer’s Revenge) folded. He made Davis (RW: Denver) look like a strong competitor. Meanwhile Diem flattened Jen in short order in perhaps the most stunning Duel result yet.
o One last parting shot to Aneesa: You know you suck and your game sucks when your only ally in the house is the guy who cries while reading Eat, Pray, Love.

Only a few weeks left bitches then it’s on to Mexico to cast for future challenges. This is also known as Real World: Cancun.
