High stakes poker with high level ballers, the humbling of standardized tests, and keeping it real when dating cover some key themes in this week’s Survivor’s Remorse Season 2 Ep. 9 Recap: GUTS!

No Guts No Glory

Reggie agrees to go and during their routine family breakfast (now including Chen), they discuss the risks. Chen has played Guts with much higher stakes and cautions Reggie on the pitfalls of betting high and being afraid to bet.

Missy volunteers to tutor Jupiter, as she could get him up to speed. Uncle Julius proctors a practice exam that Jupiter and Missy take. After the first exam, Jupiter destroys Missy in scoring, attaining a 9/15 (comparable to Eli Manning) to Missy’s 4 (akin to a Janitor or Night Watchman). Missy couldn’t believe Jupiter got a higher score. He revealed the secret to his advanced comprehension: converting all word problems in units of pills. Missy’s tries this theory and in the next round, she gets a 5/15 to Jupiter’s 10/15!
