Summary: Always ready with a quick joke to lighten the mood or a sarcastic remark aimed at one of his teammates, Donell has settled into the position of the resident RV comedian. We learn, though, that he's really good at dishing it out, but positively awful at having it flung back at him.

The Roadies receive information about a mission that willAlways ready with a quick joke to lighten the mood or a sarcastic remark aimed at one of his teammates, Donell has settled into the position of the resident RV comedian. We learn, though, that he's really good at dishing it out, but positively awful at having it flung back at him.

The Roadies receive information about a mission that will take place towards the end of the trip. They are given packets that will assist them in learning certain skills which include: lock picking, Morse code, compass navigation, puzzle and riddle solving, fire building, and the Spanish language. They trade the packets around until they each feel like they have a skill they believe they can master. Dave questions Donell's ability to learn logic puzzles, but doesn't say anything to the group.

In the RV on the way to their next mission, Christina & Marybeth make fun of Donell's manicured eyebrows and his smooth, shaved legs. Mmm, sexy! (If you're a girl!) The girls think he primps too much, but Donell sees it as pimpin.' The harassment gets to him and suddenly he turns into Cher, "It took years to look this good. I ain't stoppin' for nobody."
Putting brattiness aside for a minute, the Roadies enter a hut where two Fijian men instruct them to drink from a large bowl. Without putting up much of a fight, the Roadies down the potion, which Cara deftly describes as tasting like poop. Eew.

After they finish every last drop, the Fijian medicine man breaks it down. He's, like, oh yeah, you just drank poison. And they're like, get out?! And he's all, you've gotta go to the outdoor market and bring back a bunch of weird-ass ingredients that we'll use for the antidote. But hurry because you'll feel like you're gonna puke in a couple hours.

They aren't given enough money to buy all of the ingredients, so they are told they should bargain and even trade, if necessary. Wasting no time, the Road Rulers begin their mission and Donell resumes his bratty demeanor. He rants and raves, the entire mission, about not being included in the team, when he is effectively excluding himself from the team by pouting. Marybeth and Cara constantly chastise him during the mission for throwing a hissy fit, which doesn't help team unity either. The other cast members complain that Donell did not display the teamwork that he's preached in previous missions.

With all the ingredients in hand the RRers arrive back at the hut where the medicine man and his assistant mix up the ingredients into a smoothie antidote, garnished with a fish eyeball. They Roadies squirm and squeal at the thought of drinking an eyeball, but do it anyway because they don't want to be sick the rest of the day. They should be thankful it's just a fish eyeball. Don't they remember what the Campus Crawl cast had to eat? Three words to remind them: Rocky Mountain Oysters.

At dinner, Donell explains to his teammates that he felt that everyone was talking over him and he felt disrespected and that's why he acted the way he did. Still not buying his excuses, his teammates fight with him. Nothing is resolved and questions about Donell and his ability to perform and communicate as an effective team member have been raised.
