I Survived a Japanese Game Show - Oh Baby!

The teams have to dress like babies this week complete with diapers. That is just wrong in so many ways! Rome is smitten with Meaghan saying how sexy she looked in her baby costume. Even if Brad Pitt showed up on my doorstep wearing a giant diaper, it still wouldn't be sexy. Sorry Brad. Anyway, some of the team members were really getting into the part even throwing tantrums.
The challenge is to see which team can get the most milk into a large bottle after being spun around in a "crib", filling the milk cups, stepping on spinning disks and climbing over various objects. The yellow penguins get to go first. After watching everyone spin around I thought there was going to be more to clean up then spilled milk! Cathy is up first and gets her cups filled but loses it on the first spinning disk. She has to complete the obstacle course before the next contestant can go. Andrew and Justin tried to keep their heads from spinning by looking at one thing for as long as they could. Looked like they were trying to give themselves whiplash. It seemed to work and they both didn't get as dizzy as they thought they would and both managed to get milk into the bottle.
The green monkeys are up next and Rome says, in Japanese, he just likes watching everyone fall even showing it again in slow motion. I wonder what else he says to the audience? He is really liking Meaghan as he says she looks cute and dizzy. Donnell takes a header and loses all of his milk. Meaghan holds on to a splash of milk and Mary gets both of her cups to the bottle. It wasn't enough to beat the yellow team who is on a serious winning streak.
Back at the house, Donnell starts stirring the pot about Meaghan's immunity deal trying to get Mary to go back on the deal. They have a while to think about it since their punishment is to shuck clams. Those little clams pack a punch of a smell! Poor Mary looked like she was going to heave any minute and Meaghan had her shirt pulled over her nose. They get a quick lesson on shucking and Meaghan realizes the clams are alive. OMG! Meaghan finally gives the clams a swift death while Mary keeps gagging. Most of the Japanese "shuckers" find the Americans entertaining except the one who keeps saying you keep working! She is going to get the most of her free labor!
The winning yellow penguins get treated to a soba noodle dinner. They go to a beautiful temple where Japan's best soba noodles are made. They get a noodle making demonstration and all the noodles they can stuff themselves with. That's my kind of reward!
Back at the studio for the elimination challenge and Donnell is working Mary to go back on the deal. At the very last second, Mary decides to keep her word and it's her and Donnell in the elimination. The challenge is called chicken butt scramble. That would have frightened me especially when they told Mary and Donnell to take their clothes off. They are conveniently wearing sports "undies" and they are given chicken heads to wear. They have to cover themselves in oil, slide down a ramp, roll around in feathers then pop giant "eggs" using only their butts. That challenge looked painful. Mary went first and after popping a few eggs, which made the mat slippery, couldn't stand up for very long and also kept sliding off of the eggs. She managed to pop 10 eggs and then it was Donnells turn. Donnell thinks he can do better since he has a bigger booty. I think he was liking the oil part a little too much, the judge had to tell him that's enough! Donnell busts through the eggs like nobodies business and wins the challenge.
So we say sayonara to Mary as she is carried out by the Japanese mafia. Majide! Double D
