Carpe Diem

Drunken Bee is off for the night doing something with the brain cells she still has remaining after covering this show for years. Lucky her. Tonight's stellar episode starts out with sweet little Diem doing a drunken dance, which involves a lot of spinning and her winding up on the floor. Evan is hoping desperately for a new partner next season. One that's not afraid of heights, and doesn't pass out after a few drinks. Rachel and Jenn are behind closed doors talking about how close they are getting. Aneesa listens on, and she sounds kind of jealous. Evan brags that there have only been a few winners in the challenges and then he starts being paranoid about how it is going to come back to screw them all.

Rachel talks to Aneesa about how they were together like a hundred years ago (way back on Battle of the Sexes 1) for a hot minute. Rachel thinks Aneesa should get over it and thinks that Aneesa is being disrespectful and is making her feel uncomfortable. I didn't watch that season, or I probably did and I forgot, so I can't remember if they dated, just hooked up, or if that is where they became friends and the context of this argument isn't helping. Basically Aneesa seems jealous that Jenn is Rachel's new friend, but Rachel thinks that Aneesa is her best friend in the house and Jenn is her romantic fling. Evan says Aneesa is like the ex-girlfriend who calls late at night that you can't get rid of. Aneesa says she's dated many people since then, but she doesn't have to live with them. Jenn overhears Aneesa saying that Rachel is just out for fun and that's why she's with Jenn. Landon says the stress is eating him alive. Derek says that the game is intense and he's having weird dreams. Jenn says that she's all riled up about Aneesa's remarks, and that's not the right mindset going into a challenge, but that she's going to have to retaliate. Good lord. Before the challenge, they have a little tiff. Aneesa interviews that she used to love Rachel, and she can't just turn those feelings off. Jenn continues to ramble about her and Rachel's wonderful relationship. If it was so wonderful, would we really be witnessing this stupid fight?

TJ introduces Upside Downer. It's a 60-foot rope that's suspended over a cliff, with Maori carvings hanging from the side that they have to grab while they are suspended from their ankles. They have the ropes to pull themselves along, and they have to swing themselves to reach the carvings. It's an individual challenge. Diem takes this time to remind us all that she's afraid of heights. Yeah, we've heard. About a million times already this season. She thinks that TJ is personally out to get her. I'm sure that TJ has not one whit to do with any of these challenges. He probably sits in a nice hotel and a sweet trailer and is only brought out when necessary. The winner gets a $1000 gas card. That's the most useful prize they've doled out so far.
