504: SWEET PARTINGS

Missions:
2: Inner Tube Tango

What MTV had to say about the episode:
    Inner Tube Tango continues with Piggy and Chadwick already eliminated. Things get heated in the pool when competitors start holding tubes for their partners and generally doing anything necessary to stay in the competition. Stephen is especially aggressive with arms flailing every which way. He’s so active in the pool that noone wants to stand near him so he gets to the front of the line. He and Lindsay eventually win the competition but there are some bruised egos and faces in the aftermath. Adam notes that "Stephen punched Jisela in the nose and so if I have an opportunity to go head to head with Stephen, I’m going to break his legs out."

    The Inner Circles are formed and after a brief discussion, the Real Worlders agree to follow with their arrangement and eliminate the team with the lowest score. The Road Rulers don’t have as easy a decision. Holly has made it into the Inner Circle but her husband, Chadwick, has not. The bad blood between the old alliance is obvious as Emily makes it well known that she thinks Piggy and Chadwick should go. Dan and Tara are in agreement, for the good of the RR team. Holly argues that its hypocritical of everyone to want to vote off the 4th best team when they didn’t like that strategy last time. Tara sees right through this strategy though, "Holly is taking a strong stance. She wants to change the rules, which is what anyone would expect. Of course she doesn’t want her husband to go home"

    Its time to announce whose being sent home. The Road Rulers are first and Holly refuses to even stand with the rest of the Inner Circle. Dan reveals that Chadwick and Piggy are going home for the betterment of the team. Everyone seems unhappy and uncomfortable with the entire situation. Holly decides that the rest of these people have made an enemy of her. The RW vote is much easier to take. Mike and Sharon already know they will be gone and are okay with it. The RW lovefest continues as Stephen thanks them for participating and for their respective great personalities. Sharon tearfully gives a pep talk to her team telling everyone that they have to "Take it to the Top!"
