[edit] Memorable moments

After learning that Beth had told Robin that Tonya boasted of a relationship with Robin’s boyfriend Mark, which resulted in a public excoriation of Tonya by Robin, Tonya threw her teammate Beth's clothes and luggage into the pool after an argument. Afterwards, the Bad Ass team tried to throw a mission to put Beth into the Inferno, which backfired. Beth had also gotten into numerous fights with her teammates over throwing the mission, threw missions to the Good Guys, and tried to call Veronica out. As a result, Beth left the challenge.
Karamo showed little interest in a task that involved entering the water, with some suspecting that he wanted to be voted out because of other commitments. He was voted into the Inferno, and despite his defiant words for CT, who heavily criticized his apathy, Karamo lost the Inferno. It was later revealed that Karamo voluntary left the game to go home early. Karamo refused to participate in the Dodgeball water mission due to a deal made with the Good Guys that he should DQ if he wants to leave the game. Since Karamo volunteers to go home, Landon and Mike fought over who should be the one to take him out.
In the fourth mission, the Bad Asses team conspired to make sure that Tina would win the life shield so they could send Beth into the Inferno. However, each person had to correctly count the amount of money he or she had, and due to the amount of time players had to count and the excessive amount of money Tina had, she got the wrong number, thus making her ineligible for the life shield.
There was controversy over Jodi changing her team's vote for the Inferno.
Landon got an unconventional haircut, shaving two mini-mohawks onto the sides of his head.
On the way home from a club, Mike gave teammate Brad a wedgie on the bus. Brad first acted casual about it and then got off the bus in a drunken rage, threatening Mike while undressing himself. At the house, Mike confronted a still upset Brad who claimed the wedgie was going too far while Mike said every man gets at least one wedgie.
Derrick almost had his ear torn off in a wrestling match with Landon.
Tonya eliminated Julie in the Inferno.
CT got into an argument with Dan over Dan's loyalties and priorities, attempting to intimidate him by getting really close to him and taunting him.
A recurrence throughout the season was the Bad Asses’ lack of teamwork, caused by personality conflicts, which may have resulted in their loss of the final mission, despite the fact that they had greater numbers: the Bad Asses had 7 people, the Good Guys had only 4.
Rachel, Tina and Veronica were labeled "The Mean Girls" for their treatment of Tonya. The song Pass the Dutch by Missy Elliott was used on the "behind the scences" special, used also served as the theme for the film Mean Girls.
Jon volunteered to go to the Inferno after Mike won the life shield. He compared his decision to Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
This was the first challenge out of three, that Veronica was sent into a Gauntlet or an Inferno.
Abram defeated Brad in a very physical, football-esque inferno, and then got into a heated argument with one of his "alliances," Darrell.
Veronica said in an interview that Landon and Tonya hooked up. The reason why it was unaired because they asked not to have it air. However, it is not proven by anyone else.
