Episode 06 Summary:

At the Ranch, Frank and Angela flirt a bit and Angela says she enjoys the attention from him and even admits that she's tempted to hook up with this lovable lug. Shane notes that Angela hates the house and Coral and Tonya chime in and dis her for not being part of the group and not being a tough competitor.

Going into the fifth mission, the guys are undefeated and the girls are looking a little grim. The challenge today is dubbed The Junk Boat. Team members must take items from a pile of junk that would be helpful in building a boat. They can not start building the boat until they have finished getting all the pieces. Once the boat is build, they must get on the boat and do two laps in the lake. The first team to finish wins a trip to the Greek Isles.

Derrick is a great competitor, but his immaturity leads his other team members to tune him out sometimes. He steps up for team leader anyway. Robin volunteers to be team leader and Coral suggests that Angela step up, but halfway through strategizing, Angela says she doesn't know what's going on and would rather relinquish her leadership role. Without really thinking, Veronica decides to take her place. So that means Derrick, Randy and Mike are team leaders for the guys, while Veronica is joined by Robin and Ruthie. Early on in Junk Boat, Derrick gets a DQ because he tries to build the boat before they have all the pieces. This will not bode will for Derrick, if the girls finally pull out a win.

As the first seven women put their boat in the water, the guys are still building. Coral barks at Angela, complaining about her rowing style and despite Angela's somewhat feeble efforts, her team wins. "Bye, Bye Angela," Rachel whispers to the camera. "See ya in Greece, but I won't see you here anymore."

Thinking she is toast, Angela makes phone calls and shies away from talking to her teammates. "Why don't you get down there and f---ing socialize with those girls," Frank suggests. Meanwhile, the guys decide between Derrick and Mike, while at the girls Inner Circle meeting, they recall a comment Cynthia made about not wanting to step up as a leader. At Elimination Hill, the gents vote off Derrick, who gets really choked up after learning his fate.

As soon as Robin says they are sending Cynthia home, Tina cries "Bulls--t." Coral steps up and says, "We feel like this is a horrible decision." She calls Cynthia "one of the most intelligent" people on the team who "contributes to missions and the sanity of the team."

Ruthie rationalizes her decision by saying that Angela has a lot more fire than most people realize. As a team, the girls try and discuss the vote-off and the fall-out. "Winning this mission is the downfall of our team," Sophia observes. "This so-called unity we had is now diminished."

Frank offers Angela advice on how to handle her teammates and jokes to the guys that he and Angela had sex. Meanwhile, Angela admits an attraction to Frank saying, "He's got that geeky cute thing going on." Yes he does, Angela. Oh, yes he does.

Teams arrive at a western town where they will participate in a challenge titled "High Noon." The girls are hoping to use their recent win as a way to motivate themselves to another win this day. The guys and dolls will use paintball markers as their weapons of destruction in a quick draw competition. Each winner will receive $500 from Pottery Barn. Yay, Pottery Barn! Angela decides to step up as a leader today because she feels bad since she stepped down at the last challenge. She is here to prove herself this day. Arissa and Tonya step up, too, and for the guys, Randy Brad and Eric are team leaders. Robin and Shawn duel first and Robin gets her shot off first and nails Shawn...and the western-style competition is off and running. The guys lead the challenge most of the way, but it's close and soon the girls take the lead.

When Mike takes to the street he knows that he must perform well, otherwise he could be on the chopping block. Mike nails Ibis despite the blustery winds and is very proud of himself for hitting a girl with a paintball. And so the men start to pull ahead. When Angela faces Brad, Jonny announces that women must win the next three rounds in order to win the competition. Brad hits her with a paintball and it is over for the girls; the boys win the gift certificates to Pottery Barn Teen.

At elimination hill, Eric tells the guy that based on their "formula", they have chosen Shawn to go home. Iris goes up to speak for the ladies and tells Angela that she's going home. Stepping onto her soap box, Angela keeps her head up high and speaks her mind, much to everyone's surprise. Angela basically tells the girls that she's not a bitch like them and that's not how she wants to play the game and she hopes that the women aren't all like that outside of the game. The girls cheer her on and Frank is proud of Angela for saying what she felt. Before she leaves, Angela narrates that she is open to having a "friendship" with Frank.

With Angela on her way home, Rachel now believes that the team is a lot stronger because they are rid of Angela's drama queen ways, which had become a burden her team.

Episode 08 Summary:

Coral gives Robin a hard time and Robin doesn't sit back and take it....she suggests Coral step up and be a team leader. Coral says she doesn't have to step up. Coral is confident that no one will vote her off, while Robin is tired of all the old-timers winning.

In a "secret" meeting, Ibis says there are already three gals people who think they have their checks written out. Ibis claims they will stand up and start voting those veterans off.

Jonny welcomes the cast to "Fill 'er Up", which he describes as "extremely gross." The team members view containers of cockroaches and super worms, which they will have to chew up and then spit out. Team leaders will choose one player from team and they will be slathered in honey and placed in coffins and then the bugs will be poured all over their body. The rest of the team will go one by one and scoop up bugs with their mouth from this person's body and spit them out into a container. Whichever team reaches "full" first wins a Temper-pedic, Swedish sleep system. The guys pull Nick, Frank and Eric's name out of a hat and they serve as team leaders. Rachel suggests she and Katie step up for leaders, and the promptly says Katie should try hard even though it's likely the girls team will lose and Katie will be sent home. How"s that for subtly? "Not a leader!" Katie declares after she figures out she is being set up. That leaves Rachel, Sophia and Tonya as leaders for the girls.

Arissa and Mark are the lucky ones who get the bugs dumped on them. "I gotta get a real job, man, this is whack," Coral complains of this disgusting mission. During the challenge, the guys and girls each get a one minute penalty for players grabbing the straw and the guys win. Again.

In the guy's inner circle, Eric mentions the only person who has a loss and a DQ is Mike. They also look at Randy's record. Eric believes Mike is part of their core team, but he doesn't want people to feel like they are pushing so hard for The Miz to stay when he doesn’t deserve it. Coral says she needs Rachel in the final mission, meanwhile Katie says Rachel is not as slick as she thinks, so she's gonna send her home. Let's see what happens on Elimination Hill.

Eric once again brings up "the formula" and sends The Miz home, who takes the news very well. Rachel notes that she left the last Challenge really bitter, but this time, she had a blast in the southwest and was happy to hang with her buds Veronica and Shane. Rachel is definitely surprised to be packing her bags, though. Rachel advises Veronica to play her game and get to the end. Veronica warns that the people who voted for Rachel will soon find themselves packing.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! The Miz ~ mike goes home and Rachel....looks like the old timers better start playing nice!!!  ?:)

Episode 09 Summary:

Chris does a quick trip to Texas to get married and then 48 hours later, he is back in New Mexico for the next challenge. Talk about dedication to his team. He's hoping to win some cash that he can use as a little nest egg.

In the girl's camp, Veronica worries that they have lost a lot of strong players. She believes Tonya should have gone home instead of Rachel. It's clear that there is a division in the team, plus the criteria each uses to vote others off is different.

In the Sa-Wing challenge, each team member must use hanging ropes to swing from one end of a contraption to the other. Katie decides to step up and prove herself as leader. Ibis and Ruthie also step up. Shane, Theo and Brad (isn't this, like, the tenth time Brad has volunteer to be a leader?!) are leaders for the men.

First to go, Eric is half way across and he gets stuck because his entire upper body is exhausted. The guys become worried when one of their strongest players can't complete the challenge. After Shane, Eric and Frank are eliminated and Mark is the first to finish. Ruthie is the first woman to be eliminated and the guys are still dropping like flies. Coral is proud to finish and narrates that the reason why she can talk so much sh-t is because she is a good player, bi-atch.

Before Arissa even climbs down onto the rope, she gets nauseous and refuses to do the challenge, while telling Veronica they can send her come; she just doesn't want to face her fear of heights in that moment. Arissa has a change to change her mind, when the game is tied and all the girls need is for Arissa to make it across and then they win. Arissa refuses and the men win because they finished with a faster time, so they take home the Gibson guitars.

On the bus ride back to the ranch, Chris volunteers to go home because he really just wants to be home with his new wife. In the girl's meeting room, Tonya surprises the other gals by giving Katie another chance and voting to send Ruthie home. But on elimination hill, Katie learns she is headed home. She says she had a lot more fun than other challenges she has been on and decides to leave the game with her dignity and pride. It was just her time to go.
