306: GIRL POWER

Missions:
7: Mud Football
    The Team Announcements:
Kat: An expert fencer from The Real World London. Here's Kat, she stabs, she jabs, but can she pass the ball?
Amaya: Fresh out of the Real World Hawaii, Amaya can be dangerous. You've seen the damage she's done to a surfboard - Let's see what she does to the opposing team today.
Heather B : A rapper from the streets of New York. During her season, Heather B tackled Eric to the ground. No road ruler is safe when Heather's in the house.
Mike: If you thought Mike got into hot water in the Miami Jacuzzi, Let's see what happens to him today.
Teck: Still hot from Real World Hawaii, Teck has been known to turn over many a woman. Let's see if he scores any turnovers on the field today.
David: Can you recall that during the Real World Seattle, David's Manhood was called the 8th roommate. Let's see if having an extra team member can help him out today.
Piggy: You'll remember her from Road Rules Australia, where she played the game down under. She puts the pig in the word pigskin. Give it up for Piggy.
Veronica: From Road Rules Semester at Sea, It's Veronica. She likes to stand tall in her 4" platform shoes. Will she be cut down to size today?
Holly: From RR Latin America, Holly is our next tamale. She's about to show her opponents who's hot and who's not.
Dan: From RR Northern Trails, Dan will be blazing a new trail today. But will it be to the goal post...or to the showers?
Los: From the premiere season of RR, Los has been known to get a little defensive. Let's see if he can use that to his advantage today.
Yes: When he played the field on Semester at Sea, the girls were screaming Yes, Yes...but if Real World has its way, it'll be No, No for him on this field today.

What Deanna had to say about the episode:
    This weeks mission- Football. David plays coach and is coaching Amaya on catching and throwing a football. "Ew my finger got bent back whines Amaya Good Lord girl it's a football not a block of cement. Piggy phones her boyfriend and it appears she is some sort of masochist She is complaining of him mistreating her, but lets him get away with it. Holly of course, is right there being the supportive friend.
   The two teams begin training, and let me tell you those chicks are tough, with one exception. Could you guess who that could be? In this episode Veronica is totally redeeming herself in my eyes. Being positive, and working really hard for her team. On the other hand, Amaya is losing any of the little respect I gained from her in episode 1.
   During the game Piggy is supposed to block David, and David has the quote of the day. "I don't think Piggy can block the advance of a sleezeball in a bar." All the cast members were pretty surprised that their playing field was a patch of mud. Veronica is out on the field heckling Amaya. I'm really starting to like that Veronica. How could you not like someone so dedicated to making Amaya miserable:)
   During the game Amaya tackles Veronica. She practically ripped her head off. I must admit it was pretty funny. Dan and Yes totally dominated this game. Yes is the man. He scored the first touchdown. The Road Rulers really operate as a team, and Real World just can't get it together. Los scored a touchdown, and then David. Real World has an injury- Guess who? AMAYA. What a surprise.
   In the end Road Rules wins and Real World loses AGAIN. Amaya's negativity is infecting her entire team. Her poison even got to Heather B. Heather was always telling it like it is. Straight up. Now she is all about complaining. Even Teck, Mr. happy go lucky is copping an attitude. On the other hand, the Road Rules team is constantly being built up by Yes. That boy never has a negative word to say about anyone. Therefore he keeps the entire group positive. Yes has character and integrity.
   I think we can all learn a lesson here. Negative people are like a virus- stay away from them. Positive people are contagious. Stick with them.

What Bunim/Murray had to say about the episode:
   The rift between the two teams is now at a head, and their mud football mission allows them to take those frustrations to the field. Coached by two Tampa Bay Buccaneer all-stars, the kids tumble, tackle and touchdown under the blazing Florida sun. The girls are especially into the plays, proving that this isn't merely a 'boy's game.' The contact is rough, most notably between rivals Amaya and Veronica. Eventually, the match becomes too combative for Amaya, who opts to sit out for the rest of the game due to a small injury. This disgusts Heather, who applauds Kat for sticking with the game despite being more severely hurt. Although the Worlders give the game their all, the well-oiled Road Rules machine cannot be stopped, and Team RR pockets another $10,000. That night, the kids join their Buccaneer mayors for a post-game dinner, during which the teams agree to mend their running feud. Piggy, who had earlier fought with her verbally-abusive ex-boyfriend over the phone, suddenly turns her sights on one of her charming coaches - flirting shamelessly. She later hesitantly admits to her teammates that she got extremely friendly with the coach that night. They suggest she shrug it off and offer her words of encouragement about her inner beauty. Later the next evening, Piggy makes another call to her ex, who is less than happy to hear from her. Empowered with a new sense of self, Piggy puts her foot down, refusing to ever succumb to his belittlement again.
