Real World: Denver › Ep. 1812

After their last adventure into the wilderness, the Denver roommates still aren't feeling the 'one with nature' vibes. So, when it's time for take two of Outward Bound training, most of the crew is less than enthused about the camping trip ahead.

For Brooke, a sprained ankle may provide the perfect reason to bow out of more Outward Bound "torture". After a trip to the Emergency Room lands her an excuse note from the doctor, Brooke has never been happier to be in pain.

Meanwhile, Colie becomes frustrated with her job's strict rules against in-house dating. Although she and nature-boy Adam have hit it off, the two can't make plans to see one another in the off hours. She tries playing the sympathy strings with Alex and Tyrie, but the two can't keep up with her flighty feelings about the many guys in her life.

But, things take a turn for the better when Adam decides to quit his job at Outward Bound. Finally able to date, the two meet up at a local art show and grab a bite to eat. Colie tries explaining her 'open' relationship with Cory, telling Adam she's free to do as she pleases.

On the way to Outward Bound, the housemates are dropping like flies. Davis tosses his cookies as soon as he leaves the car, and Stephen's struggling with his own sickness. When the boss takes a status report, he sends Stephen, Davis, Colie and Brooke to the doctor to find out who's ready to roll. The group returns with only Colie being cleared for the trip, sending Stephen, Davis and Brooke back to Denver. While Brooke tries apologizing for leaving, Colie and Jenn see through the sprained ankle 'scam'.

As the trio heads home, the other roommates are left scaling a mountain and hiking for hours. Although the roommates sleeping in a tent agree that Davis held a legit excuse, they complain about Brooke and Stephen's "weak" attempt to get out of work.

Back at the house, Stephen and Brooke decide to 'cure' their ailments in the hot tub, drinking and relaxing in the hot tub.
