Veto competition. There are dummies in jumpsuits and helmets, hanging from parachutes in the back yard in front of a sign saying "Duo Do Over." Each dummy has the face of an evicted houseguest on it, and the flat pictures wrapped around the round heads make them look kind of creepy, like a live-action GoldenEye 007 N64. Everyone still in the game has their original partner up there, so no Donatos. Porsche explains that each player will grab onto their dummy and hang there. The person who stays up the longest wins PoV.
After a lot more explanation of how important this PoV competition is and how critical it is for everyone to win, the horn sounds and the dummies are craned up with their partners wrapped around them. Rachel deploys her legs around Brendon "like I always do." Ew, don't remind me. Kalia takes some time finding a good position. Adam is still deluded that anyone gives a shit about him so he needs to win, but at the same time he can't seem to keep his hands on the strap for even five minutes. "Apparently I need more time at the gym," he admits ruefully in the DR. Obviously Shelly is disgusted, because her partner sucks and she's on her own in this now.
And then Jordan drops off after just 8:35. "I'm not one to tolerate pain," she explains in the DR. "This isn't, like, Survivor or whatever." Well, okay then. She and Adam commiserate on the sidelines.
Ten minutes in, Kalia farts, which doesn't give her the lift she might have hoped.
It's looking like Shelly's time is limited. Jordan mouths an apology at Rachel, who's just staring strap-distorted daggers back at her, and then signals that Shelly's next. Sure enough, Shelly drops at just over twelve minutes. She knows that her fate is now in Porsche and Kalia's numbing hands. Rachel starts a little psy-ops on Porsche, saying Porsche is carrying people and doing all the work, which is not something Porsche has been accused off all that often. After 16 minutes, Rachel is still hanging on motionless like she's super-glued to the Brendon dummy, while Porsche keeps wiggling on Keith and finally falls with eighteen-and-a-half minutes on the clock. Much to Kalia's frustration. With 21 minutes down, Rachel is still locked onto Brendon, although she's started to try climbing higher for a better position. Kalia is slipping, though, and getting annoyed with Rachel's gushing about hanging onto "Brennan." Must be hard to say the D with her face full of him. Ew, I just grossed myself out.
