I thought it was pretty funny, although I didn't expect the ending to turn out the way it did. Before the episode even began, I suspected that Mordecai was going to have to apologize to CJ about destroying her tent. I didn't think he would be able to replace it before she found out, and certainly not by winning a mud wrestling competition. Normally Mordecai and Rigby have to admit their mistakes or face the consequences of their actions, but in this case, they pretty much got off scot-free. (Except for a few broken bones, that is) By the time the episode ended, I had to admit to myself that I was a little surprised.

Surprises aside, I loved the humorous moments in this episode. When Mordecai and Rigby went to look for other jobs in order to earn enough money to replace CJ's tent, I started giggling like crazy. The best part of that montage had to be when Mordecai managed to shoot a hot dog up a random customer's nose, though. I literally almost fell off of my chair from laughing so hard. XD A definite runner up in that sequence would have to be when Mordecai and Rigby were bouncing on a mattress and Rigby ended up getting stuck in a fat woman's stomach. I swear, that montage was one of the best things to come out of season five.

As for the mud wrestling competition itself, I thought it was pretty entertaining. Although I'd rather not see Starla and her sister rolling around in the mud, I found it to be more funny than revolting. I also found it humorous that Muscle Man thought Starla was so awesome in the ring, while everybody else seemed mortified by what she could do. I kind of have to wonder how long Starla's been doing this, though. Is this actually her profession? I guess it makes sense, in a way, seeing as she can pull trees out of the ground and desecrate practically anything that's in her path when necessary. XD Although the wrestling techniques themselves were interesting, my favorite scene had to be when Starla landed on top of Rigby. The moment he said: "My eyes! She touched my eyes! I couldn't blink in time!" I lost it. And I have to say, that 'Sister Twister' move was really cool.

If anything could have been done better, I would have to go with the character interaction. Sure, Eileen and CJ talked to Mordecai and Rigby in the beginning of the episode, but they were so busy sleeping that they hardly said anything back. And even though all of the main characters eventually showed up to watch the mud wrestling competition, they barely offered any support at all. In fact, they were practically laughing at Mordecai and Rigby's expense. You would think that they would have done something to help the duo out. They could have just said: "Good luck!", at the very least. All of this is really just nitpicking, though. Not all of the characters have to voice their opinion in order for an episode to be good.
