Making Waves Last time, we met the gamers, and they met "Tekken 6". After some well-timed fights, Yaz emerged as King of the Iron Fist, sending Kat and Mike into Samsung Stadium to battle for the right to continue playing. At the end of the day, Mike ran out of lives in a well-fought best-of-9 battle. Kat returns to the loft, and Vanessa knows that she's going to be in her crosshairs. Meanwhile, Faye and AJ are still hanging out with each other. A lot. MOBILE CHALLENGE: Hyperspace Joel walks in with news of the next challenge. The game is "Hyperspace" for the Samsung Moment. Played almost like "Super Monkey Ball", it uses the phone's rotoscope. The player with the highest score will win this mini-challenge and automatically receive first place points in the next Real Life Challenge. Winner is... AJ! He'll get to sit out the next RLC. The next day brings said challenge, as the gamers head to Raging Waters in San Dimas. Why? Because we're breaking out the Wii console. The RLC is... "WII SPORTS RESORT" (Nintendo, Wii). REAL LIFE CHALLENGE (worth 50% of overall score): Wakeball The players will be taking part in both wakeboarding and the 3-point shootout. AJ gets to sit and watch. The gamers will play in teams of two. The winner of the challenge wins a Nintendo prize package. One player on each team must head volleyballs (5 points) and beach balls (10 points) for 3 minutes without wiping out. At the end of a rack is a money ball worth 25 points. Most points wins. - RACHEL & FAYE: AJ's favorite team only
manage 15. Remember, AJ is already in first place. Rachel & Faye manage 15. Kat & Justin manage 30. Sebastian & Vanessa get 5. Ryan & Caesar get 70! Jake & Yaz: 40. Ryan & Caesar take the Nintendo package with a black Wii, Wii Sports Resort, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well as second place points in this challenge. Hannah has one more twist... "Wii Sports Resort" will only be featured in Isolation. The game to be played at Samsung Stadium... "MARIO KART WII" (Nintendo; Wii). But for now, let's practice MotionPlus basketball. Ryan is already partners with Yaz, Wong, and Caesar. Now he's looking to branch out with Kat. She is... in. Ryan's worried that everyone in the house will find out. One person who isn't practicing is Sebastian, who says that he is THE best in the house. Meanwhile, AJ's thinking of a different kind of shooting. It is, after all, taco night. What goes better with tacos than tequila. Kat tells Rachel of the alliance that Ryan made with her, a move that Rachel calls "(^_^)ing nasty". Meanwhile, Faye acknowledges that AJ has a crush on him, and Rachel tells the wrong person of the deal made with Ryan and Kat. ISOLATION CHALLENGE (worth 50% of overall score): Wii Sports Resort The challenge this week: three point shootout. The goal: most points. The person in last place and headed for Elimination... SEBASTIAN. The person in first place and determining his opponent... JAKE. Practice pays off. Again, Jake says that he's not putting anyone up from the Purple Team from the last RLC. He's gunning for AJ. That seems to be the move. With that move, Jake enters the fold, now known as the Pentagon, with Ryan, Yaz, Wong, and Caesar. Sebastian wants to take on AJ. Faye doesn't want that, so she volunteers herself. Right now, anything can happen. At the nomination, Jake picks... AJ to take on Sebastian. And the smack starts early. For the record, in the overall, AJ came in second. AJ gets called out for being too lax on the practice sessions. But Sebastian's the player with the big problems, as we figure out that Sebastian is HORRIBLE at "Mario Kart". AJ gets to hold onto Faye's good luck scarf as a charm. ELIMINATION CHALLENGE: Mario Kart Wii Using any character in Mario Kart Wii, you will be playing three races using the Wii Wheel. The tracks: Coconut Mall, DK Summit, and Wario's Gold Mine. The first to two wins. Let's go to the tale of the tape...
The players take their positions. And... GAME ON! Sebastian will play Mario, while AJ plays Luigi. First race is Coconut Mall. AJ takes the lead early... but he also takes a blue shell, that's going to eat up some time. Sebastian takes the lead, he's going to have to hold onto it if he wants to win. But what's good for the goose is good for the gander as AJ takes the track on the back of a blue shell. AJ leads, 1-0. Second race. DK Summit. This'll come down to who can stay on the track the longest. AJ... can't. Sebastian ties it up by just staying on the track. Final race is Wario's Gold Mine. This track has little railings, and AJ is in trouble because of it. He's going to need a miracle... It doesn't happen. SEBASTIAN FTW! Someone's going to have to get Faye her scarf back, because for AJ... it's GAME OVER. From top of the heap to gone in the matter of a round. Next time, it's time to hit the ice for NHL 10.
