What Deanna had to say about the episode:
   This week's mission. Prank The Real World. Get Shorty. Shorty is The Real World dog. Road Rules has to kidnap Shorty and take pictures to send to the RW house. The catch is, if RR gets caught, they don't get the six points. They only have ten hours to complete the mission. The mission is the Brain Child of Sloan, the 15 year old from Make a Wish Foundation. Sloan had cancer, and now he is entitled to a wish. He is helping with the abduction of Shorty. He tells The Real World that his wish is a tour of Real World house.
   Upon entrance of the Real World house (Sloan, his mother, and two Road Rulers posing as Sloan's friends are introduced to Shorty) they realize that Shorty is an electronic dog! Sloan is very slick and invites the entire house out to lunch. Road Rules breaks into the house and steals the dog! They leave behind a tape for RW. RR is climbing the wall to get out just as RW people are entering the front door!
   Phase 2. The Road Rulers are not out of the woods yet. They have to take pictures with Shorty and Sloan in front of this wedding cake and Mike the tiger. The first one is a piece of cake, (no pun intended). But the second one, Mike the Tiger is already in bed for the night, and RR only has one hour left until the deadline! They end up taking a picture with the Louisiana State Mascot. A tiger! Really it is a person in a tiger suit, but it does the job. Mission completed.
   The RW eventually realizes that Shorty is missing. They have a job for a television station. They do a show called Real 7 at 7. They go on the show pleading for Shorty. David gets on, telling the Road Rules to watch their back. Revenge is coming. But I think the Road Rulers are up to the challenge.

What Bunim/Murray had to say about the episode:
   When the Roadies receive "Prank the Real World" clue, our cast is divided into two quarreling sides - boys against girls. The kids continue to pair off as they plot to steal the Real World dog. Finally, they are able to put aside their own personal opinions of one another and successfully prank their nemesis, the Real World crew!
   The Real Worlders are furious with the Road Rulers for "using" Sloane and tugging at their heartstrings in order to pull off the prank. When they receive replacement' stuffed dogs from make-A-Wish and a letter from Sloane's mother, their anger is extinguished.

What MTV had to say about the episode:
   The next mission brings the Road Rules team to New Orleans where they will help Sloan, a teenage cancer patient, fulfill his wish: to take part in a Road Rules mission.
   Sloan explains to the Road Rules team that they must steal the Real World dog from their house in New Orleans, photograph the Road Rules team with the dog, and send the pictures to the Real World house all within ten hours.
   With the help of Sloan and his mom, Msaada and Theo enter Belfort Mansion using the story that it is Sloan's wish to meet the Real World cast and see their house. While Msaada, Theo, Sloan, and his mom are out to lunch with the Real World cast, James and Laterrian sneak through a back door and steal Shorty, the mechanical dog.
   After Matt realizes that Shorty is missing, he finds the disk that contains a message from the Road Master revealing that the Road Rules team is responsible for his disappearance.
   The Road Rules team completes the last part of the mission, which is to take photographs in front of two New Orleans landmarks and send the film to the Real World house.
