JannTonight interrupts the kids (Jacob is awkwardly hugging some girl -- Holly is wearing a hat five feet across) and tells them that -- though she can't reveal exactly what the mission is -- it is "winner take all" and worth $12,000. The kids don't give a shit at this point, so B/M just inserts random shots of the kids reacting from earlier and/or later in the day, making it look as if they're all quite excited about the money. They all follow the anorexic Jann Carl outside and the O boyz explain that they needed six people to complete their team, so they brought in Shelli and Brooke, two friends. (Does the term, "Fruit Fly" mean anything to you? No? Okay, good. I don't want to get in trouble here.) Good thing they introduce these girls as they both seem to be brimming with personality -- (neither will really say a word for the entire episode.) Theo yodels, "I'm all about kicking some vocalist arse, here." The O-boys aren't yet used to his schtick so they think it's funny -- so young, so impressionable. Theo is standing on the railing of the boat and I can't help but think it would only take a small wave to knock him into the drink. Do they still make people walk the plank? Now's the time, kids. One of the O-Town boys -- the gay-looking one, (oh, that's not specific enough?) -- pipes up that our kids have the advantage because they've been working together already on missions for so long now. Little does he know the Road Rulers have coalesced into about a sharp a squad as the little white team the Harlem Globetrotters take around just to kick their asses. So we're on the boat going over to the mission and while our kids are no doubt giving each other the stink-eye and denying having had sex in restaurant bathrooms, the O-Town boys get into a huddle and babble about how they have to respect each other's opinions and how "being a band is gonna help [them] be a team." Oh man, those kids are going to make it! While 'N Sync is busy arguing over who gets to have the weird sideburns in the new video, these tykes still believe in the power of compromise and the integrity of their music -- oh man, are they headed for a big B/M-induced fall. We cut to Laterrian who is talking to Msaada. He's talking about the hypothetical of being offered a spot as the fifth O-Towner "even if [he] could sing." His answer is, "One-hundred percent, hell no." It's rather odd that B/M kept this O-Town dis in the episode, but then again we long ago established that these days they take about as much interest in the day-to-day creation of Road Rules as Bill Clinton does in his once beloved dog Buddy. (You know that, after that initial photo op, Buddy ended up on the menu of some Chinese restaurant in Georgetown.)
