We start off with the Real World having a meeting, they're all sick of Amaya's complaining. They feel they could have won more missions had it not been for her. Over on the Road Rules bus, tension is higher then ever with Los. They get their next mission which involves making home-made bathing suits, nothing can be part of a store-bought swimsuit. They each have to be paired up and do themed suits between the two person teams. Amaya is overwhelmed with excitement stating that this mission could give the team more respect for her since she can excel at this kinda stuff. Over on the Road Rules bus, Piggy is upset that she has to be paired up with Los. Holly and Los get into a fight and Holly says she's just going to stop being nice. The following morning, the Real World girls get to work on their costumes while the guys took off to go play all day. When they return that night, the girls go off. They finally all complete their costumes, the show is ready to begin.
