The Challenge
Kicking Ace (14x5)
Air date: May 01, 2007
With one female member down, there's a storm brewing in Good Guys' camp. After last week's Inferno, and the departure of Rachel, its back to business as usual for both teams, which means partying till the late hours of the morning. When Johnny Bananas and Ace invade the bedrooms of some of their female teammates in the middle of the night, it causes Colie, Susie, and Cara to sound off the next day.

The trickiest part of Rope Burn is not starting the fire, but keeping the materials dry as your transport them back across the lake. To make it even more difficult, the opposing team's members that are stranded on the platforms are equipped with buckets of water that they can dump off of the side in order to ruin any fire building resources.

After some time, Johnny Bananas and Danny both remember that you can create a fire rubbing steel wool on the top of a charged battery.
