Last night, on The Challenge: Fresh Meat 2, Kenny and Laurel return to the house after sending Sarah and Vinny home in Exile. Things are clearly split between Kenny's alliance and Wes's alliance and every challenge is going to matter, in order to keep the numbers of their respective sides.

 

There are a lot of things I'd like to say about Theresa but I'll reserve judgment until I see more of what she does this season. She continues to flip flop between Kenny and Wes and right now, it seems she'll sleep with the first one that accepts her.

Paula spazzes out when she feels like her partner Jeff has more loyalty towards Mandi than her. She can never handle it when her male partners or alliance members don't make their top priority. (Just ask Dunbar.)

 

The challenge is called Water Logged and teams will have to make their way from one platform to another, as fast as possible, by grabbing onto and swinging from logs of different lengths, suspended above the water. Since Landon and Carley won last week's challenge, they get to determine the order and of course, put Kenny and Laurel first. Not only do they not have a disadvantage or suck in the challenge, they finish it in just 1:42!

 

The members of the DQ Club include: Paula and Jeff, Jillian and Pete, Ryan and Theresa, Katelynn and Brandon, Danny and Sandy, CJ and Sydney, Wes and Mandi (who win the award for worst strategy by trying to piggyback their way across), and Landon and Carley.

 

Only three teams finished and it's Kenny and Laurel with that record fast time that grabs them the win. They decide to change things up and throw Evelyn and Luke into Exile. That would be 100% Luke's fault after announcing on the bus ride back that he's not ready for Exile and can't run long distances. Wes's alliance votes Paul and Jeff to go up against them and honestly, it's tough to call who's going to come back.

 

Sparks fly after the Exile votes, thanks to a hearty supply of alcohol in the house. Wes is frustrated after finding out that Theresa was turned down by Kenny first and Mandi gets into it with Jenn after she votes for her again to go for Exile. When Jenn gets in her face and talks tough, Mandi responds by calling her a bitch and a fight is about to erupt, but the guys step in and break it up.

 

Wes pulls Mandi outside to reveal that Jenn is secretly in their alliance. The stipulations were that Jenn had to live in a separate room, she couldn't tell Noor, and she had to vote against Wes for two straight weeks. It would've been nice if Mandi was told that just a little bit earlier. Wes is starting to think that Jenn could actually be aligned with Kenny because she's so far in it. This is some Donnie Brasco stuff right here!

 

In the Exile challenge, Evelyn and Luke finish the first puzzle and take off into the woods before Paula and Jeff do.  About 40 minutes in, the two teams seem dead even.  This challenge definitely takes its toll on everyone and it'll take everything they have to make it to the finish line.  Unfortunately, Jeff doesn't seem to have everything that it takes.  He keeps stopping and walking, while Paula shouts at him.  That ends up costing them the challenge, as Evelyn and Luke make their way to the finish line first.

 

Kenny's alliance is screwed.
