Recap / Ridonculous Race Hawaiian Honeyruin

Go To

In Hawaii, the teams must dive for wedding rings in Honeymoon Bay before heading to the next challenge. There, one team member must carry the other across burning coals barefoot. On the way, Jacques and Josee accidentally lose their Bun-Bun, but find a lava rock that unknowingly curses them.

Tropes

  • Break the Haughty: Stephanie and Taylor are on the receiving end of this.
  • Cool, but Inefficient: Both Ice Dancers wear grass skirts when only one of them was required to do so. This ends up slowing them down as they have to go back twice because Jacques' skirt caught fire.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Twice!
    • Kelly finally puts Taylor in her place, revealing all of her trophies and accomplishments are due to her dad buying them for her.
    • Ryan breaks up with Stephanie on international television after her increasingly abusive behavior finally proves too much for him.
  • Foreshadowing: In spite of claiming to be The Ace at swimming, Taylor's dive and swim skills leave something to be desired. This is an early clue that her victories are fake.
  • Hidden Depths: Kitty easily figures out Noah has a crush on Emma, something Emma herself hadn't caught on to.
  • Honor Before Reason: Junior refuses to wear the grass skirt out of fear of getting bullied, even though it would mean he'd have to carry his father across the burning coals.
  • Humble Pie: Taylor gets a big one from her own mother.
  • Loophole Abuse: One that isn't commented on. Rock wears the grass skirt on his head and is carried on Spud's shoulders. Apparently, it wasn't against the rules, but they were the only team to what that idea occurred.
  • Oh, Crap!: Noah when he realizes his feelings for Emma have made him soft.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Noah's lovesick behavior over Emma and lack of a snarky comeback when Emma insults him seriously worries Owen.
  • Pet the Dog: Noah gives to Mickey one of the rings he found, which further worries Owen (see O.O.C. Is Serious Business above).
  • Pun-Based Title: The title of the episode is a play on "Hawaiian honeymoon".
  • Rage Breaking Point: For Ryan and Kelly against Stephanie and Taylor, respectively.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Kelly's patience with Taylor's insolence finally runs out, with mother giving daughter a scathing, yet long overdue, reality check.
  • Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Kelly reveals that Taylor never won anything in life, and that all of her trophies and medals are either fake, or the result of Taylor's father bribing someone.
  • Skewed Priorities:
    • When Taylor's skirt catches fire and Kelly tries to put out the fire with sand, Taylor is more worried about her hair extensions that about the fact that she's on fire. Lampshaded by MacArthur:
    MacArthur: I'd worry about the burns more than the hair but, uh... I'm funny like that.
    • Crimson takes her time to paint the skirt with a black marker, because she only wears black.
