Summary: Cara complains about living in the small RV with five other people. Not enjoying this sort of lifestyle, she is, like, so ready for a hotel stay. Christena reminds her that a true test of a person's character is when he's had everything taken away from him. Cara's secretly hoping that doesn't mean she has to give up her hair spray. Cara andCara complains about living in the small RV with five other people. Not enjoying this sort of lifestyle, she is, like, so ready for a hotel stay. Christena reminds her that a true test of a person's character is when he's had everything taken away from him. Cara's secretly hoping that doesn't mean she has to give up her hair spray. Cara and Donell gush about how great it is that they met each other on this trip and how they've helped each other through the hard times thus far. Cue the music: Keep smiling, keep shining... Anyway, you get the picture; schmoopies and hugs are exchanged.

The next clue asks if the Roadies are ready to "dive into their next mission," so they meet at an aquatic center to train for the next day's official mission. They learn how to execute a ten meter high dive while Donell masters the art of workin' it in a Speedo. Their mission mayor informs them that they will hit the water at about 60-70 miles an hour and there isn't a lot of room for mistakes, one false move and they could get seriously hurt. Chris, phrasing his fear nicely, is nervous about Donell's "agility." Meanwhile, Donell is belly flopping into the pool. Cara is just plain worried about jumping and getting water up her nose. "I'm not a swimmer. I'm not a jumper. I need to blow my nose," she whimpers.

After one of her practice dives, Cara thinks she dislocated her shoulder, but seconds later the pain disappears. While her other teammates are concerned, new guy Chris isn't buying it. After the alleged injured arm incident with Cara, everyone is a little more timid about jumping and potentially failing the mission.

Later on in the day, the mission mayors inform the Roadies that Cara's X-Ray shows no broken bones, but she is "still injured." However, she has been given the OK by her doctor to continue to administer hair spray. Not wanting to risk her health (or a bad hair day), Cara decides not to do the mission. Her teammates are supportive, but Chris is very close to questioning her dedication to the team.

In the RV, Donell bitches to Christena about Cara and how she told him that she doesn't want to be on the trip anymore. He wants to win and if that means voting Cara off, so be it. And if that means telling a few lies, so be it. Cara is unaware that her best bud is going around spreading gossip about her. Donell's vulnerability may be contributing to his disloyalty.

The next day, the Roadies boat out to a 25-foot cliff where they will be diving into icy waters. Cara looks healthy and spry and is not sporting a sling, but she decides to restrict her arm movement to picture taking only. Judged on a scale of 1-10, they and must accumulate a total score of 35 in order to win the mission. They will be scored on approach, flight technique and entry into the water. They can jump twice in order to improve their score, but the first score will be completely wiped out, so there is a risk of scoring lower.

After everyone jumps, they are two points shy of 35, so Chris and Christena decide to jump again to improve their scores. Christena manages to garner a seven the second time around and Chris lands an impressive nine and the team walks away with another piece of the tattoo.

Couching it as "having everything out in the open," Christena tells Cara that Donell said Cara wants to go home and he'd vote her off in a heartbeat. Is it possible Christena just really wanted to spread some gossip to get in good with the Bobbsey Twins? Cara is flabbergasted and hurt, so she confronts Donell. He denies everything and assures her that they are still buds. Perhaps he'll remember what he said when he watches this episode. Video footage is funny like that. Donell assures Cara that she "ain't goin' no where."
