My comments:
The show starts out with the RW saying that they can not be beat and the RR is feeling bad and saying that they need to win to raise their spirits. The next comes from Flora from RW 5 telling them that they are to meet their mayors at 7 the next morning and they need to wear their long uniforms. On the way to the mission Christian and Laterrian fight about the fact that Christian can not understand what he is saying. When they get to their next mission they find out that it is a movie set. And on top of it Chris Klien and LL Cool J are starting in this movie and the movie is Rollerball, and each group will be doing rollerball contest.
The first thing that each cast gets to do is practice and there is a lot falls and everyone is scared that someone will get hurt. But luckily everyone gets out alive and Christian and Jaime show that they are pros. Each group gets a good night of sleep and the next morning is the contest. The first test is a skate course where each member of each group has to hit the lights and then hand off to the next person, and Christian wins this for RR. The next is a motorbike pull, in this mission a member is pulled by a motorbike and then released and if you fall then you fail to get the points, and again Christian scores 55 points and ties RW score. The last contest is just between Christian and Jamie to break the tie. In the spine each flag that they touch earns points. And Christian out scores Jaime by 80 points and gives RR their first win. Because of his skating ability Christian gets the MVP and he wins a Dreamcast, and also the director of the movie gives him a part in the movie.
Update: Three months later Christian is on the set of the movie and he says that he is loving his experience and he fakes falling down.
What MTV had to say about the episode:
Both teams meet with the stunt coordinator and gear up to practice roller blade stunts inspired by the movie. The next mission takes place on the Rollerball movie set, where the film's principal actors, LL Cool J and Chris Klein, greet the teams. Part two of the competition results in a tie, after a strong rollerblading performance from both Jamie and Christian.
The Road Rules team wins the first part of the competition, which involves rollerblading around a track while hitting light targets. In the last part of the competition, Jamie and Christian go head-to-head on a difficult course, in which Christian takes the first victory for the Road Rules team. Christian's friendship with Laterrian and Ayanna is unique because of what he can learn from their cultural differences.
