I’m not sure what production is putting in those adorable drinking glasses with the tiger in a hoodie on the side, but something in the water has got the challengers in Ari Gold at couples’ therapy mode. Despite Emily’s efforts to cleanse the mansion of bad juju through a healing meditation class, the Challenge house will know no peace this week as confrontation after confrontation unfurls. In the Era IV bedroom, Olivia calls out Josh for going back on his promise to nominate himself, instead cowering in the corner when he found out C.
T. could be his competition. She says that she wants to play with people who are “heroes and who are dogs,” not scared little bitches.
To be fair, whenever people rob a bank, they yell, “Don’t be a hero!” to all the feeble civilians, and C.T. is most definitely the one donning the creepy nun mask and the G17 in this situation (that’s a The Town reference for my Boston Brotha).
Josh offers the spurious reasoning that right before the elimination, an unnamed source warned him not to self-nominate, which is about as believable as “I have a girlfriend but she goes to another school.” On a day off, the cast gets to enjoy the comforts of home, imported to Vietnam: cheeseburgers, beer pong, and salacious grinding. The sparks between Devin and Michele continue to fly, and he confesses that he’s abandoning his “no showmance” policy for her.
Rules were meant to be broken, and Devin has chosen the right time to do so; Michele is.
