Most Clever Award

Megan may be a manipulative liar, but she’s smart. The whole episode she used her shaky, little girl voice. She also played the paymaster part brilliantly, though somewhat sadistically. She announced that Princess Lily would be making the decision on who would be eliminated and made everyone “talk to my dog” and tell her why they should stay. That’s how passive-aggressive people play the game.

In the end, Megan made a smart decision. She had to choose between Toastee (show friend and alliance buddy), Hoopz (intimidating and part of the Stallionaire’s Alliance), and Rodeo (who has trash talked about her the entire show).

By keeping Toastee, she maintains her secret alliance.

By keeping Hoopz, she maintains a shaky alliance with the stallionaires which should keep her safe a few more rounds.

Rodeo and Hoopz are both very strong players, eliminating either was a good move, competition wise. It was obvious that Rodeo did not have any strong alliances, even the stallionaires were not demanding she be saved. There would have been no benefit to Megan if she kept her.

Brownnoser Award

One of the problems with trying to be liked by everyone is that sooner or later it will catch up to you. Rodeo tried to prove she was a friend to the Stallionaire Alliance by throwing her team challenge this week. Much to her surprise, her teammates were not impressed and voted her into the elimination round. Rodeo tried everything to win over Megan, this week’s paymaster. She even went so far as to have a heartfelt conversation, including tears, with Megan’s mentally challenged dog, Princess Lily. Lily was not impressed and voided Rodeo’s check.

Poor Rodeo, she saved the Green Team from another loss but none of them seemed upset to see her leave.

Thug Award

Until now, Real seemed like a really nice, fairly intelligent guy. But when his brother, Chance was eliminated, the gangsta came out. It was over the top and a little scary. I found it entertaining because this is how real people would compete in a competition for that kind of money. Most game shows are very PC with everyone acting “civilized” when you know they are thinking evil thoughts in their heads about their competition. This show lets people openly express themselves.
