Anessa sure struggled in this one. Evan really isn't as likable as he once was. I've always liked Rachael. Brittani is really good at these challenge shows. Mark was kind to Anessa & showed alot of maturity. It sure looked like Brad had this until Evan stepped up that last leg.

I'll bet Landon is kicking his own hiney that he offered to leave the room & go get a hat so they could put the names in. That's when Evan got the wild hair that they should all vote Landon in the challenge. I'll bet if Landon could have been in that final challenge, none of the guys could have beat him.

Nero - i admit i thought Evan was a decent guy the first time we saw him and even the second but i agree when the "boys" decided to gang up and throw challenges to get rid of the girls we saw a different side of Evan and unfortuantely that side has remained - as least in my mind.

Disappointing ending for me. I really like Landon so that bummed me out. I am so over Evan. Not a big Brad fan since he has Tori. I like Brittani but Rachel is just blah to me for the most part. Poor Mark in having zero control over having to wait on the third place girl. That seemed really unfair to make them all pair back up for part of it. I don't know that I think it was editing; Mark came off good all season. I think he seems like a good guy. I didn't see previews for a reunion but I know one is next week, anyone see if it looks drama filled?

Sigh, poor Landon

Last week ended with To Be Continued..

We get previouslies.. Aneesa vs Tori in Duel.. and Aneesa WINS!!!

Tori goes home.

MJ vs Brad in the duel.

Brad is sad not to play the game out with Tori, but plans to win against MJ.

Pole Dancing is the challenge. MJ has braids/cornrows, says his family is running through his head.

Brad wants to win for Tori and starts out like a house afire. MJ grabs brad's show since Brad is totally above him.. Not working.

Brad grabs MJ's hand and hurls him from the pole.

Brad wins

MJ leaves; he's ready to move on with his life. Evan is happy.

TJ says "see you later" All are wondering and then TJ comes into the guys room.. Says he has good news. Calls Final 8 together. He says I told you there are only going to be six in the final, so there will be another duel.

They are bummed.

Aneesa picks the game for the girls.. Push Over.

Brad picks game for guys: Back Off

They have to deliberate for 1 hour and choose one guy and one girl to go in. THEN those two have an hour to decide who to call into the duel.

They all squirm. No one is safe. Landon is unhappy. Evan says how to do it. Landon says draw out of a hat or performance based. Or a vote. Landon goes to get a hat. Evan indicates that they should all vote Landon into the duel.

The women..Dien says each say a name out loud. Rachel says Diem. Brittini says Diem Aneesa says Diem.. Diem wants to make them sweat it out, not know who she will pick.

They guys "vote" and yep all voted for Landon. He thinks it isn't fair since he has the best performance record. He says he will probably call Brad in.

Tomorrw comes and they all go to the dueling ground..

Landon does pick Brad. Mark is counting his money and surely Evan is gloating.

Diem says she doesn't feel bad for wheover she picks. Aneesa says this sucks. We go to commercial. Back and Diem says Aneesa, it isn't you. Aneesa thanks God that she has at least $15,000 now. Rachel, no.. taking Brittni in. Brittini says she knew it all along.

Guys first.

Back off: Landon vs Brad. Landon is wound up. Brad is snorting. Landon gets the ring but tackles Brad, Brad gets Landons and hangs it so he wins. There is a question if Landon knows the rules. Brad 1, Landon 0 Pretty rough. Landon gets one so they are tied. Huh.. Brad pushes Landon's ring so he cannot grab it, runs over and clips his own ring.. Brad in finals. Landon is out. (ed. sort of sucks but perhaps he didn't choose wisely)

Now Diem vs Brittini in Push Over. Brittni sort of towers over Diem. They have added something: a shiny wooden platform. Brittni scores first easily. This time Diem ducks down and pushes Brittni off the side. 1 to 1.

Again.. Diem can't lose this wants to win for "so many amazing reasons". They face off and Diem goes down again and Diem loses just by a foot going off the platform Brittini thanks God too. Diem leaves.

Final six. Mark is very happy. Evan brings out drinks. Rachel says she is in a zone. Aneesa is happy with a real final. Brittini is really nervous.

They all pack and leave..

Final Challenge: All will make money. Third $15,000 each, Second $35,000 each and the first guy and girl will receive $100,000 each.

Endurance race, five checkpoints, reminscent of the five duels. Will need a partern to complete some checkpoints.

Start on a jetboat. Race starts when jetboat stops.

Boat stops, GO.. they run towards a rope, have to cross the cold river. Guys doing better. Aneesa bogging down. She feels like she is gonna die.

Next they run.. Aneesa still foundering. Says next time she will train and not smoke.

Rachel says this is where she will pull ahead. Mark behind the other guys.

There is a puzzle. Evan working his. Rachel having trouble
Aneesa says she is tired already

Mark loves the game, passes Rachel. Rachel done, then Brittini.

Next Duel Pole Dancing.. they each have to climb to the top to unlokc a bike. Evan CARRIES the bike up the pole. Brad gets his key and rides away. Mark nes. Rachel climbing.. She says cannot ride the bike uphill. Brittini riding. Aneesa last again. Brittni also not happy with uphill. Guys riding. Evan trying to catch Brad.

Next task you have to be chained to a partner. Brad is first so he gets first girl to arrive, Evan arrives next but must wait for second girl. Mark is there too. Rachel is first, hopes it is Evan, but it is Brad. OFf they go. She worries that he is hurting from the duels. Evan is chattering on and on about waiting for Brittni and Mark being in a worse situation. Aneesa is dying. Brittini is berating Brittini, yelling that he missed Rachel by 10 seconds. Brittini is upset that she has to work with Evan. He continues to swear.

Brad is stopping, Rachel not thrilled.

Evan is screaming at Brittini.

Next station.. they have to move a sled, together across a line.. they can remove dirt from the sled. Brad and Rachel start but he's digging so slowly.. Says she was screaming at him.. (she wasn't ) Here comes Evan and Brittini. Meanwhile Makr is babying Aneesa along. snarking about her bikini briefs.

Rachel and Brad get to separate and Rachel takes off.

Evan and Brittni apart.. he thinks Brad is in his sight..

Rachel says she sees Brad walking and Evan running, she wants to beat them. Brad afraid to really injure himself.

Final duel is elevator.. lift self up and get card.

Rachel there first., Then Evan, Brad.

Mark watches Aneesa move the dirt.

Brad and Evan neck and neck says Evan. Rachel finishes first!!

Rachel wins $100,000 and beats all the guys too!

Brittni walks up.. Evan and Brad still in the cages. Brad says trying to get down, grabs chain and it is jammed up.

Evan leaps out.. sprinting ahead of Brad and we get a commercial and ad for the next Real World Cancun, which doesn't look very appealing.

Back and Evan is ahead of Brad and wins with no contest.

Evan wins $100,000

Brad wins $35,000

Brittni down from cage and easily in second place.

Brittini wins $35,000 Feels good.

And finally here comes Mark and Aneesa. He is happy to finally be unchained but wants to be a gentleman.

He helps her do the elevators and

Mark and Aneesa each win $15,000

Aneesa says Mark is amazing.

What a disappointment that Evan won! They should not have made them pair up and have them just be solo at the end, so stupid! I couldn't believe Landon lost the duel, he won so many... really sucks for him...

But at least they all won their OWN money straight up... these challenges are far from easy, I could never do them so everyone deserves what they got in the end, they worked hard for it...

Looking forward to the reunion...

Even though she denied it, Rachel did not help Brad dig. You could tell she wanted Evan to win. I'm so sick of the same people being in clicks. Send all new people, please...puleez!

No, Rachel didn't help Brad dig at all. I'm not a big fan of Rachel. Come to think of it, I'm not a big fan of any of them anymore except maybe Landon.

Did you like how after they said Robin was having a baby Mark very emphatically said, "I'm NOT the father!" Then some of others in the background were saying, "Who is the father?"

I agree about Rachel not helping Brad. Loved Brad's comment about "maybe they have that footage in the library somewhere." Never ever was a Rachel fan and she certainly didn't grow on me anymore on this challenge. Why so much focus on her love/sex life? They devoted a whole after show to it and then spent a lot of time again on it at the reunion. Guess they run out of things to talk about. I felt like...let's move on from this topic already!

The one thing I will give Rachel props for is at least coming out and saying that CT should not be allowed to do any of those shows again. Now that I agree with her on!

Those things happen so fast, I am going to have to look at the tape to see what Rachel was doing while Brad was digging. However, I think it was the Brad walking thing that sunk him, not her digging (or not).

I still like Evan a lot. The only ones that I don't like on that show are the ones who fight other people physically or get other people to gang up on others emotionally. This show there was not a lot of that ganging up thing except maybe on Dunbar a bit.

Good point, Danzdol. Whatever reason, she's definitely not a team player and that's okay at that point, but I don't think the "In" crowd wanted Brad to win.

It was wrong of the RW execs to formulate the final challenge in such a way, as right there, she stopped Brad from winning. There was need to do it to make it more equal for the gals, as there was one girl winner and one guy winner.

I don't think it is about team playing, but of course then it is too bad that they had to team up at the end.. and you could look at it that Brad maybe was lucky to get Rachel and not be teamed up with Aneesa at the end? Because being teamed with Aneesa wasn't going to be a good thing in this challenge.

From the 2nd to last station to the last station if brad had ran for lets say an extra 15-20 seconds instead of walking he would have won an extra $65,000.

That's gotta hurt when he reflects on it

From watching the film, I can't figure out how Evan managed to beat Brad - supposedly Brad had a "football field's" lead on Evan coming out of the digging thing, and it looked like Brad was halfway up the last thing before Evan even got there. Brad HAD to be moving pretty slowly for Evan to even have a shot at it. I would not put that on Rachel as she finished before either guy.

I agree about not putting the fault on Rachel for not digging...since she beat both Brad and Evan, Brad just needs to put the blame on himself. He could have ran a little faster, yanked the chain a little faster....
