8: Ice SittingWhat MTV had to say about the episode:
There are three teams who have yet to win a prize in a challenge: Mike and Coral, Timmy and Emily, and Dan and Tara. They are all desperate to win something, anything. The next challenge, “Hands on Saturn,” gives them all an opportunity to do so. The team that lasts the longest will win a pair of new cars. What's the trick? In order to win, you have to keep your hands and/or feet on a block of ice longer than any other team. Kelley and Danny powder out first. They’ve already won a big prize and have no desire to hurt themselves by freezing their fingers off. They’d rather sip Pina Coladas in the shade. Theo and Holly are disqualified after Holly is judged to not have her entire hand on the ice. It was a good thing for Theo who was heading towards frostbite on his right hand. The next four teams last for quite a while until Sean, with his hand is so numb, realizes that it isn’t even sitting on ice. That leaves Mike and Coral, Timmy and Emily, and Dan and Tara. Timmy lets everyone know that he isn’t going without a fight by urinating right in the middle of the competition and standing over his own little pool pee.
Unfortunately, when the teams have to put three of their extremities on the ice sculpture, Timmy’s badly arched feet can’t stay on the ice and he and Emily are disqualified. So Dan and Tara and Mike and Coral sit side by side with all hands and feet on the ice. Dan warns Mike that his big toe isn’t on the block of ice but Mike doesn’t listen and it eventually costs them the game.
Dan and Tara win the cars, while Mike doesn’t take the loss too well. It was his 21st birthday and he wanted to win more than anything. Afterwords, he begins to drink heavily and ‘The Miz’ starts to take over. The Miz starts yelling at Mike and everyone is concerned. The Drunken Miz is walking around screaming and banging into things while his teammate can only watch on in horror…
