Summary: The sleepy little town of Fort Collins lays buried in a white blanket of snow. Inside a crowded apartment, a blond bomb-shell, KALLE, bids her boyfriend Brian farewell. They've been together for five years, and Kalle's ten week trip with ROAD RULES will be their first separation. Kalle explains that she feels a little guilty, but isThe sleepy little town of Fort Collins lays buried in a white blanket of snow. Inside a crowded apartment, a blond bomb-shell, KALLE, bids her boyfriend Brian farewell. They've been together for five years, and Kalle's ten week trip with ROAD RULES will be their first separation. Kalle explains that she feels a little guilty, but is secretly ready to shed her old life. You go girl...
Meanwhile, at the Fort Collins International Airport, a small jet lands, the gang-plank lowers, and out pops JAKE - a curly-haired eighteen year old from Philly. At a glance, you can tell Jake is a groovey, hip-hop, kik-it, da bomb type guy Bit of a joker. Bit of a player. Jake enters the airport and an attendant hands him puzzle piece that reads "keep an eye peeled for someone wearing a ROAD RULES backpack."
Now VINCE, a darkly handsome and intense twenty year old from Florida, steps off another jet, puzzle piece in hand. Excuse me, but aren't you... Jake and Vince bump into each other and press their puzzle pieces together. How sexy... Their puzzle reveals Kalle's address. They hop in a taxi to scoop her up. I'd like a Kalle-split with sprinkles on top...
During the long taxi ride, Jake has diarrhea of the mouth - just can't shut up! Vince decides "this ten week trip is gonna be painful if I have to listen to him." Jake, on the other hand, decides that Vince is a dork. This is working out nicely so far...
The boyz grab the girl and all three hop a plane to San Francisco where a private car delivers them to the edge of the ocean. As instructed, they take a short walk on a long pier and wait. Where are the other two Road Rulers? Show yourselves... Meanwhile, ERIKA and OSCAR are speeding towards the pier in their own taxi. Erika is twenty two, sophisticated, and from San Diego. I wish they all could be California... Oscar is 19 and from Puerto Rico - he's got the accent to prove it!
The taxi screeches to a halt. Erika and Oscar pile out and dash to the end of the pier. Everyone shakes hands - introductions all around. I can't believe we're really here... And hey look, here comes Michelle from ROAD RULES three! Our beautiful Southern belle strolls out to the end of the pier and welcomes the new cast to the ROAD RULES family. How y'all doin'! Michelle collects their cash, empty your wallets, and suggests they keep an eye out for the Winnebago. She hands Oscar some binoculars before she sprints away. Oscar peers through the binocs and spots the Winnie in a distant parking lot. Everybody run...
The Rulers piles into their tricked out winnie where they find a cassette tape - the first clue! Vince pops it into the stereo, "Complete your mission and receive your handsome reward." The Rulers tear open their clue boxes to find matching T-shirts - and look, each shirt has a word printed on it. Put them together and what do you get, "Take a shot at team work, at Mare Naval Base Island." Jake hops behind the steering wheel as Oscar hangs a little Puerto Rican flag on the bulletin board. Make yourself at home...
The Roadies roll onto the Navel Base, where they are directed to an towering, dark warehouse. They pull through the enormous sliding door and into the frightening, dark atmosphere where they are greeted by the MAYOR of the mission. The mayor explains "today you will be playing paint-ball!" What's paint-ball, you ask? It's war with paint instead of bullets. The mayor introduces the competition - the all-star team. Here they come! It's Christian from Season Two, Los from Season One, Timmy from Season Two, Michelle from Season Three, Devin from Season Two, and Effie from Season Two. Deja-friggin'-vu!
Right off the bat, Devin gives Oscar some advice, "don't let fights come between you on the trip." Easier said than done, my friend... The Mayor explains that the two teams will be playing for that much-needed commodity: cash! Rounds number One will be played for $400 each. The third and final round will be played for $800. The mayor explains that a round is won by capturing the opposing team's flag. Kalle explains that she hates guns. Give peace a chance... Now ready, set, go!
The paint is flying, and Kalle gets nailed immediately - into the holding cell she goes. Go directly to jail - do not pass go... Now Vince gets wailed on by Los - ten balls explode white across Vince's back. Check it out - there goes Christian - he's natched the flag and won the round! Kalle starts to cry, "I need this money to eat and I don't want to do this - I hate this!" You're lost, little girl...
Round two. Vince says we need paint grenades! Not a bad idea... Vince takes no prisoners and has grabbed the all-star's flag before they can say "put your hands up!" So it's one win for each team. Now the third and final round begins. Pow, pow, pow! Duck, roll, and fire! Jake gets shot in the face as Michelle grabs the Road Rulers flag. Game over. Kalle is freaked - "we have four hundred dollars to live off of for two weeks!"
Now Timmy explains "your next clue is only skin deep." Suddenly, everyone rips Timmy's clothes off, have you been working out, to discover the next clue written on his back: "Save a life and risk your own with the Coast Guard on Yorba Buena Island." Let's go!
Erika explains that "the paint-ball mission has made us closer - we won and lost together." Everyone piles back into the Winnie and it's on to the next mission. Roll with it baby...
