Summary

The troopers travel to the heart of dixie for some good ole fashion pie eatin', pig squealin', mud ploppin' fun which the locals call "Red Neck Games" (do I hear banjos a playin'?)




Mission Notes

  • Two-Face of the Week: Amaya (A.K.A "Da Brat") wins hands down for attempting to bail out of the "Bobbing for Pig's Feet" event, sighting that it would be against her Jewish belief to touch pork (pop quiz genius, what's sausage made of?). Now keep in mind this is the same girl who also proclaimed that she was a agnostic--AND a Jew in RW: Hawaii's "Opening Dialog". C'mon Amaya, which one are you going with here? You can't stand on both sides of the fence hun! Besides, would it be very becoming for a young-upstanding (and I use that word loosely) Jewish girl to lay with every set of pants she encounters? It appears that Da Brat only proclaims her Judaism when using it as a bargaining chip for favors and getting out of tight situations. Much like Stephen parading his Judaism on the Seattle Casting Special in hopes of impressing the casting judges to score him a spot on the show; and in the very first episode, he drops his religion faster than a hot potato, never to resurface again--apart from a one line reference during Easter.. and from Janet no less.

  • Ditz of the Week: As alluded to above Da Brat puts her foot in her mouth when babbling on about not wanting to bob for pig's feet, even though she wolfed down a sausage at McDonalds earlier on. And when asked by a camera buff during the closing credits what sausage is made of, Da Brat replies, "Ugh, like beef?" Veeery good Amaya; though as dumb as it sounds this line can't top Clueless' "Where's Tennessee?" as most retarded quote ever uttered in Real Rules history!

  • Inconsistency of the Week: At the start of the pie eating contest, Da Brat, who takes home Yet Another Award is seen wearing a gray T-shirt under overalls, yet in the very next shot the T-shirt is replaced by a black sports bra. Keep in mind that Da Brat's hands are tied behind her back presumably the whole time, which would make removing a shirt a wee bit difficult; unless she had David Copperfield on her plate as well, and in the process was able to learn a few tricks.

  • Inconsistency of the Week--First Runner Up: At the end of the competition the animated scoreboard showed us that team Road Rules won a extra $10,000 E*trade dollars, bringing the total to $30,000, thus tying them with team Real World (say what?). Just last week RR had tied RW $30 G's to $30 G's, and now there're tying them again? Unless.... it was unlucky Tuesday for team RR and they lost $10 G's on-line in the process. If that's the case.. pity we didn't here about it, speaking of which.....

  • Poor Continuity of the Week: Would it kill the editing buffs just to provide some insight into how both teams' on-line investing is coming along? We saw them invest 2 to 5,000 on-line in "Demolition Derby" but what's happening with the other $25,000 or so G's? Is it laying around somewhere gathering dust or is someone pulling a scam here? Why call'em "E*trade" dollars if you're not going to put them to work?

  • Punch Line of the Week: Mikenum P.I, no doubt reminiscing one of his fondest assignments, the infamous threesome shower scene gushes, "I've had many greasy pigs in my day! That's what alcohol will do to ya!" Ya, that and a 10 gallon size ego! Hmm, I wonder what Melissa would think of that?

  • Dirty Rotten Scoundrel of the Week: I thought it was pretty shady of team RR to go into the pie eating contest with a game plan to cheat via flipping the pies over onto the ground. And all of this happens right in front of the flatfoot referee's face and what does he do! He awards team RR 5 extra points (hey bubba, if you can't see then loose the shades)! Furthermore, they need to ship that L-Bow back up to the Blue Ridge Mt. to resume his bear trapping activities! But what's even more disturbing about this whole fiasco is that B-M, even after hearing Yes admit to cheating does nothing about it... no disqualification, nada! Though, I guess it wouldn't be the first time B-M just sat by while injustice was taking place. To quote Heather B, "This is Bull--"

  • Poor Teammenship of the Week: Last week team Real World showed us just how competitive--er whiny they can be; however, this week things became downright nasty with RW's competition in the Redneck Games. Sure, Da Brat may've been a self contradicting spoilsport, but her fellow teammates' (minus Kat) behavior towards her was way over the top! Dave and Heather B-quiet's babbling about Amaya not representing was open to interpretation. Just how was Amaya not representing? By pointlessly dunking for pork? The reason I say, "Pointlessly" is because when it came down to the wire, the score was RR: 30 RW: 22. There's NO freakin' way RW could've won, even if Amaya had scooped all five! Alas, it appears that Amaya has become this year's equivalent of Beth S. as team Real World's scapegoat. God forbid, all we're missing now is a ankle injury.



NEXT WEEK: Clueless lays her smackdown on Amaya; or is it the other way around?


Jump straight to "Mud Football". Or go back to "Snake Wrangling".
