"Janet… I'm sor-r-y I-I-I was tr-y-ying to do what w-a-a-s best for the team." Alice stuttered through tears "It's all right just win a mission for me okay." Janet tried to hide her anger and sadness but that backfired and she exploded. "Where is Charmy? Janet asked Alice through tears. Alice signaled toward Charmy and Jenny's Room and followed Janet as she went. "Charmy you promised you would never vote me to the Gauntlet!!" Janet's voice rose with every word she said. "I'm sorry it's just a game." Charmy responded. "This is 300 GRAND! LET ME SPELL IT!! 3-0-0 G-R-A-N-D!!" Janet got so furious she picked up a picture frame that held a picture of her and Charmy and threw it Charmy.  "Janet STOP!!" Alice grabbed Janet and pushed her out the room to Charmy's relief. Janet sat down on the floor and Alice sat next to her. "Alice… I just…" Janet was so furious her best friend voted her to the Gauntlet that she just got up and got her bags and headed towards the door. "Bye Janet." Jenny and Charmy sat in the hallway as she left to go back home to Jamaica.

"I dunno why Emi is angry at us." Yuni explained as she started to play DDR Max. "Well we did vote her to the Gauntlet… but she won… Rage did you vote for Emi?" Tracy asked him as she looked at a copy of Cosmo Girl. "… well yeah…." Rage said. "But she doesn't know!" He claimed. "Well she does now!" Emi yelled from the doorway. "Our partnership is over RAGE!" Emi stormed out of the room with Rage behind her. As they left the room the song that was chosen at random on the DDR game was coincidently Broken My Heart.

"Guys I just got a text message about our mission… it says 'Wear sandals a swim suit and bring a first aid kit?'" Yuni read and worried over the last statement. "It's gonna be fine don't worry Yuni." Akira said as he gave her warm cuddle. "Okay you're right let's go to bed and get ready for tomorrow." Yuni replied after her hugged her. As she went back to her room Tracy stood at the door until Yuni walked in so she could close the door behind her. "Emi and Rage are trying to send one of us in the Gauntlet!" Tracy exclaimed. "She heard our conversation the other night and wants to put us in the hot seat (The Gauntlet)!" "So…" Yuni said. "I ain't about to go in no Gauntlet to mess up my hair! See I got my hair did this mornin'!" Tracy spoke as ghetto as she possibly could. "Don't worry what ever we do tomorrow they'll lose!" Yuni explained. "How?" Tracy questioned her statement. "You'll see." Yuni explained. "Good night." They both said to each other at the same time.

"There will be 8 balls and you'll have to run a get a ball and go back to your place in this mud. 3 people will be eliminated at a time so let's go!" He blows the whistle and every one runs. As soon as Yuni sees Emi go after one of the 8 oversized balls she immediately shot after and wrestled her for the ball. "This is mine let go we're on the same team!" shouted Emi. "SO!" Yuni yelled as she ripped the ball out of her arms. Meanwhile Akira and rage fight over the ball but Rage gets the ball and runs with it. "Let GO!" Jenny yelled as tried to get the ball from Tracy. "Peace!" Tracy yelled as she shook jenny off the ball and watched her fail and fall.

  Tracy and Yuni ran for the balls but were beat to them by Charmy and Alice.

Wait… they're fighting over the ball. Charmy and Yuni fought over the ball for a good 5 minutes till Tracy got the ball from Alice then saw another ball then ran after that then gave her ball to Yuni. "Move it!" Naoki yelled as he slid in the mud and grabbed Charmy's ball and crossed the safety zone.

"Emi-3… Akira-2 … Rage-1 after that it's Emi- 16 votes Akira-8 votes Rage-6 votes Emi is gong back to the Gauntlet," Naoki said. "…" Emi said nothing and just grabbed her things as she got ready to go to the Gauntlet.

Meanwhile Team NM…

"I and the rest of the group have decided to send Alice to the Gauntlet solely because she does so well in missions that she could win and make the other team lose a player." Charmy said in a melancholy tone which meant that she had to go with groups vote. "Okay… that's okay…" Alice said out of pure shock due to the fact she was like the strongest person on her team. She went to pack her bags and prepare for her, so far, biggest challenge of the trip.

Telluride, Colorado: 2:00pm: The Gauntlet

 "I have never thought in a million years that so early in the game that my team would throw me to the wolves." Emi remarked through tears as she rolled the dice. "It lands on Hang Man!" Izam shouts. "You will hang from the trapeze bar 10 feet in the air then the first to drop loses!" Izam laughed as said this.  As both Emi and Alice hung 10 feet in the air Emi looked Alice trying to use her little voodoo magic on her but it worked against her. "I want to see her fall…" as Emi turned back to look at Alice again but her arms slipped. " AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"  Emi dropped faster than an egg off a 10 story build. "Oh SH-!" As soon as Emi started to plummet Alice's hands slipped off the bar and she also dropped into the glacial pool right after Emi. "Emi I'm sorry but-…" Rage responded to her splash into the pool. "SAVE IT RAGE!" Emi yelled as she stepped out of the pool. Unexpectedly Emi shoves Rage into the pool the shot out into the warm Telluride afternoon and called for the cab to drive to the Airport that would take her back to Japan.
