We open the episode with Syrus still hanging on to dear life on the third rope course. Syrus gains his balance back and makes it through the course edging Real World closer to a win. But the Road Rulers came through at the end and won with a 17 to 16 lead. The Road Rulers got to spend the night in the Yacht while the Real Worlders had to spend the night(probably for the first time) outside. They wake up the following day to face their third and last mission on the island. They are told by Ramona to pick the best male and female skier off each team. Real World picks Jamie and Julie while Road Rules picks Emily and Christian. Both pairs go out on seperate boats to practice their sking; Jamie, Emily, and Christian have it down while Julie seems to be struggling alittle bit. The teams then learn that they will have to ski though a slalom course but not by a boat, but by a blimp. The team with the lowest combined time to get through the slalom wins.
