Missions:
3: Road Rules Olympiad- Continued
My comments:
Before the competition the .Com kids are already talking trash about Holly. The first race is the bobsled; James and Laterrian went up against two girls from the .Com team. The girls did well but not good enough, they ended up getting their butts kicked. Road Rules time was 32 seconds. Next is the ski jump, with Kathryn and Theo jumping for Road Rules. The .Com team got 24 meters. When Theo jumped he crashed and cost Road Rules the event.
The Skeleton race was next with Msaada and Holly competing. Msaada got 45 seconds and Holly got 45 also. When the .Com went both members score better so the .Com won another race. The last event is worth 3 points so Road Rules could win if the wins the ice-skating relay competition. Holly ends winning the race for Road Rules because she had a huge lead so that Msaada could keep the lead to win. After the event Holly tells everyone that she is glad that they kicked .Com's butt.
What Bunim/Murray had to say about the episode:
Holly is on the verge of cracking from the pressure of the competition and the level of animosity between herself and the Online team. When she loses in the skeleton and one of the Online girls calls her a bitch, she reaches her lowest ebb. But with the encouragement of Picabo and the support of her teammates, she rallies and finally skates her team to victory.
Laterrian is still fraternizing with the enemy, more a part of the Online team than a Road Ruler. When he sees Theo crash and burn in the ski jump and finds his team in jeopardy, he chucks his loyalty to the Onliners and becomes an active participant with his own team, which culminates in the skating victory.
What MTV had to say about the episode:
Competition day arrives and the Road Rules team will try to stop the MTV.com team from taking their prize money. Tension continues to build between Holly and the MTV.com girls. Road Rules wins the bobsled race and MTV.com wins the ski jump event, Holly and Msaada prepare to gain another win for the Road Rules team with the skeleton race.
After losing the skeleton race event, Holly breaks down in tears. She feels that the competition has been ruined for her because of the behavior of the MTV.com-ers towards her.
The final event is worth three points, and Road Rules pulls together as a team to win the speed skating race as well as the prize money from the MTV.com team.
