Episode 9 Summary:

Mission: Balance on Me
Location: Cordoba, Argentina
Objective: All six Roadies must cross six parallel tight ropes at the same time.

The Roadies are in the midst of drawing names from a hat to decide who will go home. Kina's name is pulled twice, so she will be headed home. Kina feels good about the decision and keeps a strong face in front of her roommates, but when she retreats to the X-RV by herself, she has a good cry. Poor Derrick wonders who his cuddle monkey is gonna be now that Kina's off the team.

Meanwhile, Jodi feels guilty because she thinks she would have been voted off if they didn't pull names from a hat. The rest of the Roadies now worry about how their team chemistry will be affected. Jodi declares she will help fix the communication problem her teammates feel exists. Patrick isn't going to cut Jodi anymore slack. "If we don't win this next mission, it's Jodi's ass," he warns.

The Roadies pack up the X-RV and head for Argentina and await the arrival of their new teammate. Angela, a girly-girl who has a real job back home, arrives at the RV and hopes to meet some down-to earth chicks and a guy who doesn't want to get into his pants. She has a boyfriend back home and according to her, he's "the one." Yeah, we've heard that one before. Maybe things will change when Angela gets a look at hunky Ben Afleck, er, Patrick. Looking for someone to bond with, Nick takes on the self-imposed task of making sure Angela feels welcome in the group. A working member of society, Angela says she is not used to hanging out with people who are still in college. She hopes that won’t be a problem. Angela calls her boyfriend to tell him that the rest of her teammates are very young-acting. The Road Rulers learn today's mission will involve walking a tight rope, suspended 150 feet in the air between two buildings. The catch is that they have to cross all six tight ropes at once, while holding hands. They must rely on each other for balance. Not knowing her new teammates at all, Angela is a "little sketched out" and admits this is the most nervous she has ever been in her life. This is the most extreme thing she has ever done. She has never even played football, for God's sake. During the mission, Patrick struggles to keep his balance, so Jodi takes over the leadership position of this mission and talks her teammates across the high wire and leads her team to victory. Back at the RV, Angela goes off by herself and Patrick comes out to comfort her and reassure her that she’ll find her place there with their team.

Episode 10 Summary:

Mission: Falling at Your Feet
Location: Buenos Aries Factory in Argentina
Objective: Roadies must stand on a high pillar and land on their feet as a truck pulls the pillar out from under them.

Derrick is getting increasingly annoyed with Nick, apparently because of Nick's "stupid comments." No longer the newest person on the team, Nick still feels like an outsider. He feels ganged up on and is defensive and that has apparently made him persona non grata. When the gang goes that night, Nick is the designated driver for the second time in a row. Poor guy just can't catch a break. Desperately trying to gain acceptance in the group, Nick offers to drive to Buenos Aries.

In the Falling at Your Feet mission, the Roadies learn they must once again pair off into three teams of two. Each team of two must stand on an eight foot pillar, which is attached to a truck by a chain. The pillar is pulled out from under their feet as the truck zooms by. When the pillar is yanked from under them, the two Roadies must land on their feet in the designated area. No other part of their body must touch the ground.

Angela and Ibis go first and fail miserably. Nick and Patrick complete the jump successfully by timing their "jump" just before the pillar is pulled out from underneath them. Derrick and Jodi also complete their portion of the mission. When Ibis and Angela go a second time, they think they've completed it, but until an instant replay is viewed, there won't be a decision. Turns out that Ibis' booty touched the ground, so they fail the mission and now must eliminate yet another team member. Geez, Road Rules X-Treme is kickin' this teams' ass.

Nick is worried that he'll be sent home for personal reasons or for just "being the new guy," but he feels good about his performance in the four missions he has been a part of. At the vote-off, Ibis gets things going by voting for herself and gives a speech that pretty much says she is okay with going home because it's the right decision. The Roadies come to their senses and decide not to be petty and Ibis is voted off. Ibis leaves without any regrets and loves the experience she had in South America.

The roommates decide that their team dynamics might change, but they always need to be conscious of remaining a tight-knit team.

Texan:
