Ep 9. Croc Farming and Susie Blossoming

The Rulers go bowling! Kefla notices, "Susie has changed over the trip tremendously. She's kind of breaking free of a lot of things her parents told her were wrong." Christina adds the insight, "I think I may have affected Susie a bit. She sort of looks to me for being strong." Proving that those assessments are accurate, Susie steals a pair of bowling shoes. "Christina calls my evolution on this trip a downward spiral." Could this be the beginning of a crime wave... The following day, a cassette is discovered. Don't you love those things? This one states that the next mission "can sink its teeth into you." The Winnie departs for a crocodile farm. On the way, Piggy dyes the tips of Susie's pig tails red. Foreshadowing blood? They pull into the Koorana Croc Farm, a place that 3,000 croc's call home. Shayne starts to get nervous. "I think I'll pee myself today…The other missions I've had an open mind…This is the only one that appears to me that it's not going to be fun." Pulling to a stop in croc heaven, the Rulers meet John, the man who runs the farm. Time to get to work. Their first duty: help baby crocodiles hatch from their eggs. "It's like Jurassic Park," observes Susie. One by one, those cute, little reptiles break from their shells. Moments that really underline how incredible nature is. Chad confesses, "I feel like a mother." Dubious Duty Two: Measuring Crocodiles. They just have to get in the water with the creatures, grab hold of them with their bare hands, and pull them out. Oh, is that all? Shayne almost fulfills his prediction of peeing himself. Hundreds of croc's swim in the swallow, indoor canals. Kefla's up first and does an impressive job of clutching a croc. "Once you commit, you can't quit." Petrified, Christina grabs the reptile without an ounce of enjoyment escaping her body. Shayne's attempt isn't as successful. His croc wiggles violently, causing him to lose control and throw it back into the water. That guy John does this for a living? They weigh and measure the croc's, then release them in an enclosed corridor – where they promptly run wild. Piggy and Shayne run for their lives. Dangerous Duty Three: Capturing Six Foot Croc's. I'll be in the Winnie, call me when you're done... Using poles and nooses, the Rulers will pull the bigger beasts from the outside water, then put a bag over their heads. "If you put a bag on my head and jump on me, I'd totally freak out," Shayne warns, "I just don't want them to be really scared and then try to bite my arm off." The first try at capturing one results in the reptile lunging at them from the water. Notice is soon taken of the other croc's that wade nearby. Seems that the pen they're in houses around three hundred and fifty crocodiles. Since the larger croc's dominate the smaller ones and keep them from growing, it's important to move them to different pens. Wonderful fact, but why do we have to do it? Kefla steps forward for his turn. The capture starts out smooth enough, but soon the croc is tossing and rolling, catching the pole around Kefla's shirt. It tightens around his body quickly. "Cut the shirt!" he screams. Using a knife, Shayne slices it free from Kefla's back. Devious Duty Four: Sexing the Croc's. Want to explain that a bit? Simply insert one's finger into an orifice of the crocodile and feel around for a penis. That's what I was afraid of. Susie wets her fingerwith her mouth then slides it into the croc's hole. Shayne fingers one next and discovers a penis. "The most action I've gotten the entire trip," he admits. Christina refuses to partake, but Susie does it again. Wild girl, that Susie. Kefla uses a condom for his finger for a little safe crocodile sexing. And now, Snappy Tom awaits. Snappy who? Tom. One of the largest croc's on the farm. The entire cast struggles to drag this monsterous beast to a new spot. And that concludes their terrifying time in Crocland. John passes out their pay. The cast piles into the Winnie and hits the road. Their next stop…a tattoo parlor? Susie reveals, "I often talk about getting a tattoo. It's a little bit of danger." Choosing a butterfly, she apologizes out loud to her mom, pulls up her shirt, and prepares for the pain. "I feel like I've grown up a lot, broken out of this square mold." The tattoo is inked into her flesh. Down the spiral she goes... Susie explains, "In a lot of ways, the butterfly is symbolic of…you know, a young person. I'm eighteen years old…This is kind of like a big trip for me away from home, making my own decisions, and I'll, you know…become a butterfly."
