To start off the episode, Kenny is trying to calm Tina down over the fact that their team is at the top of everyone's list to be sent into exile.  Much lip service and ballyhoo is made of the fact that they are devoted teammates and they will work hard to stay out of exile.  At this point, the Foreshadowing Police come around with billy clubs and beat everyone about the head.

Coral complains to the ridiculously buff and ridiculously shirtless Evan about how they haven't been coming in first lately.  He seems to be half paying attention, because he is communing with his freeweights at the time.  Later, he confides to the camera that he hasn't told her (or anyone else) about his "athletic hernia."  In fact, just to prove how athletic his hernia is, he gives us a good look at the purple bulge on his pelvis.  His junk is blurred and it's all very disgusting. 

The crew gets a message from their itty-bitty future machine and Casey reads (!) that they must wear bathing suits.  Flash forward to the challenge where TJ explains that the challenge involves swimming in a tank of sharks to retrieve pieces of a puzzle.  The team that retrieves the pieces and completes the puzzle the fastest wins.

Wes and Casey go first and things begin as usual.  Wes loudly boasts about how qualified he is to do this mission and how he's obviously going to win.  But he never does and the duo is disqualified for going over the allotted time.  In fact, 5 teams are disqualified for the same infraction including Coral/Evan, Tina/Kenny and Katie/Eric, who don't even make it that far at all, what with Katie's smokers' lung and refusal to finish.  Needless to say, Eric is none too pleased.

Shane/Linette emerge as the victors for the second time in a row and, throwing the audience a curveball, choose Katie/Eric to go into exile.  They say the word "fair" about a hundred times in their speech, but everyone pretty much gets that they had it coming.

At deliberations, Tina and Kenny pretty much read the tea leaves and the teams go around, all voting for them.  Tina votes for Wes/Casey before Kenny, in some sort of oddball show of integrity/stupidity, votes for himself.  This causes Tina to flip the eff out and storm off the set, before being nudged back on camera by producers.

The ensuing shouting match does not speak highly of team unity (bringing everything full circle). 

Cristin's two cents:

Due to technical difficulties, Cristin was unable to watch Fresh Meat this week.  Instead of her commentary, here's a picture of New York Mets third baseman David Wright.

Dan's two cents:

I have to say, I'm not really that sad to see Katie/Eric go into exile.  Eric just seems like that big guy who never realizes he's not Chris Farley.  And Katie's funny because she's always drunk, but everyone's always drunk, so that doesn't really distinguish her so much.  As far as Tina/Kenny go, I kind of like Tina, but her blow-up about Kenny's vote was a bit ridiculous.  Getting that upset over it seems a bit much.

The Scoreboard:

Teams:
Cristin's Blue Iguanas: Katie/Eric; Johanna/Jesse; Tonya/Johnnie; Theo/Chanda; Shane/Linette
Dan's Green Monkeys: Coral/Evan; Melinda/Ryan; Tina/Kenny; Darrell/Aviv; Derrick/Diem
