Photo Scoreboard and Rankings as of August 23, 2006
Oh how the mighty have fallen on this week's Fresh Meat.
With Theo/Chanda and Darrell/Aviv in exile, the supposed "weaker teams" have the stronger teams right where they want them. After convincing Diem to target her friend in a previous episode, Derrick feels bad about targeting his friend this time around.
At a challenge involving an obstacle course, Darrell and Aviv won the pardon, a feat no other team had accomplished yet.
They chose Tina and Kenny to replace them in exile and Tina/Kenny felt hopeless going up against Theo and Chanda.
They managed to persevere and after solving both puzzle stations, they eliminated Theo and Chanda. Will Darrell and Aviv be next?
With one exile left, who will be in the final three? Let's wait and see.
Diem & Derrick
Current Ranking: 1 - Previous Ranking: 1
Current Ranking: 1 - Previous Ranking: 1
They're the team to beat right now, but they must be very careful in the next two weeks. Darrell and Aviv had their allies Theo and Chanda wrenched from them because of these two, plus Diem gets into a fight with Tina next week. They are a big target right now and must tread lightly in the next two weeks.
Casey & Wes
Current Ranking: 2 - Previous Ranking: 3
Who would've ever thought Wes and Casey would be #2 in my rankings? Sure there are only 4 teams left, but still. After being hammered by the other teams for so long, the focus has finally shifted off of them and at this point, I would be surprised if they WEREN'T in the finals. The previews show Tina getting into a war of words with Diem and not Casey and Wes is finally keeping his mouth shut in general.
Tina & Kenny
Current Ranking: 3 - Previous Ranking: 5
I swear these two are so up and down. They had a spectacular run in the challenge and delivered another near flawless victory in exile. I think they could even be a stronger exile threat than Wes and Casey because these two, or at least Tina, can solve the puzzles. It looks like Tina gets into a fight with alliance mate Diem, but it would be dumb to splinter off so close to the final round. If their partnership gets tarnished, just dump Darrell and Aviv as planned and then work on kicking Derrick and Diem's butts in the finals. Simple as that.
Aviv & Darrell
Current Ranking: 4 - Previous Ranking: 4
Darrell and Aviv are on the outside looking in right now. They barely escaped going to exile and the weaker teams are in even more control now. The only way these two will be able to stick around is if they win the last couple challenges or win in exile, but any team could knock them out if it goes that far.
Chanda & Theo
Eliminated: Episode 13
Theo and Chanda were always a powerhouse team. Theo is one of the strongest physical players to ever go in these challenges and Chanda was probably the strongest girl there, rookie or not. I'm not sure what I can say because they really didn't do anything to warrant being targeted except being a strong team. Anyways, they're gone and I hope Theo shows up again in the future.
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.
