Photo Scoreboard and Rankings as of August 15, 2006
This week on the Fresh Meat, the power in the game continued to shift.
Derrick and Diem found themselves growing closer, even though Diem doesn't want to get too attached. Theo and Chanda worry about their place in the competition what with the turning tides after last week's ouster of Shane and Linette.
A dangerous new challenge involves the teams free diving 30 feet down into the ocean and Derrick and Diem won their third consecutive challenge.
In deciding who to put into exile, Diem pushed for Theo and Chanda, though Derrick was weary. With the decision made, Theo and Chanda were selected for their first exile and Darrell and Aviv were the second team voted in.
With the supposed "weaker teams" now running things, what will that mean for Theo/Chanda and Darrell/Aviv? Will they be able to claw their way into the finals? Find out in the coming weeks.
Diem & Derrick
Current Ranking: 1 - Previous Ranking: 2
Derrick and Diem have really gained momentum. They've won their third challenge in a row and are safe from being put into exile should Theo/Chanda or Darrell/Aviv win the pardon. After next week's exile, these two and the "weaker teams" have the numbers so they could go to the finals.
Chanda & Theo
Current Ranking: 2 - Previous Ranking: 1
Theo and Chanda are currently in exile against Darrell and Aviv. They are the strongest team here, so I'm not counting them out yet. They could win the pardon and even if they don't, they could still win in exile.
Casey & Wes
Current Ranking: 3 - Previous Ranking: 5
Wes and Casey have reached an interesting crossroads in the competition. After being the sacrificial lambs for the whole season, no one really sees them as a threat and now the stronger teams are finally being targeted. Even if they do get put into exile thanks to Theo/Chanda or Darrell/Aviv winning the pardon, they are the exile masters so I think they would have a great chance of winning. Although, I think that chance would be greater if they went up against Darrell and Aviv.
Aviv & Darrell
Current Ranking: 4 - Previous Ranking: 3
I knew this would happen. Darrell and Aviv got swept aside and pushed into exile. And up against Theo and Chanda. If they do go into exile, unless they go against Tina and Kenny, I don't really see them winning.
Tina & Kenny
Current Ranking: 5 - Previous Ranking: 4
Just call them the "yoyo team." After a spectacular run last week, they fall back into old patterns and come up last.
Linette & Shane
Eliminated: Episode 11
It's unfortunate that they had to go, but it was strictly strategic. Linette focused more on her new hatred for Diem and it almost seemed like she taking herself out of the game. Even though Shane took 3 bags to Linette's 1, Linette struggled badly to get through and even stopped to rest at one point. Shane and Linette are out.
Coral & Evan
Expelled in Episode 10
Coral and Evan were ejected from the game in episode 10 due to serious physical injuries sustained in the challenges
Katie & Eric
Eliminated: Episode 9
Once the Austin cast and Tonya were taken care of, this pair's demise was inevitable. Physically, they never could stack up to any other team in the challenges, finishing low in the rankings every time. Prior knowledge about the exile was no advantage as Tina and Kenny still beat them easily. Katie and Eric are gone.
Tonya & Johnnie
Eliminated: Episode 7
Tonya and Johnnie didn't deserve to go out so soon, but their elimination was inevitable. Tonya is simply not a very popular person among Real World/Road Rules alumnus. What surprised me was that she was the one fighting tooth and nail and Johnnie was the one whining about the work load. You'd think it'd be the other way around, but nope. They are eliminated and I don't know why Tonya keeps putting herself through this.
Johanna & Jesse
Elminated: Episode 5
Johanna and Jesse actually had a good run in this week's challenge, but it wasn't enough to save them from exile. A blunder on Wes and Casey's part (forgetting a flag) gave Johanna and Jesse the lead, but an even bigger blunder on their part (forgetting BOTH flags) squashed their chance of returning to the game. They are eliminated.
Melinda & Ryan
Eliminated Episode 3
Melinda had a defeatist attitude through the whole episode. In the beginning of this week's episode, she was heard calling Danny and admitting she didn't have much interest in being here without him. Since they didn't win the next challenge, they went into exile and even though they solved a puzzle and dropped their bags, it seemed like they wouldn't win. From the start, Melinda was struggling just to keep up. Forgetting to take the first flag only sealed their fate.
Ev & Danny
Eliminated: Episode 1
Everyone, including the Fresh Meat, knew that the Austin castmates would be immediately targeted and Danny's ouster was the veterans' plan in action. They were blindsided after Tonya revealed to the others that Wes tried to orchestrate a plan to vote out Shane & Linette. When the votes came out, despite an opportunity to switch things up, Danny & Ev were voted into exile and lost against Wes & Casey. I'm not sad to see Ev go because she took on a very superior and offputting attitude from the start, but I'm sad to see Danny go in such a manner.
