Last time, Andre was put on notice for his unruly behavior, Jesse was put on notice for his little poochy, and Mandy Lynn was put out... of her misery. Now 10 remain in the running for $100,000.

Andre has a problem... one pink room and no one to share it with because nobody likes him. Awww... He says of Mandy Lynn, "That cake will haunt her for the rest of her life." So he keeps a shrine of everyone who's been eliminated in his ... umm... well, he's keeping a shrine at least. "Tonight, we dine in hell!" Now all you need are 300 Spartans willing to die along with you.

Daniel is back talking smack about Andre. He doesn't know what's going to happen. He says that if you're truly sorry, you take responsibility.

Next is Jesse crying about how in some eyes he will never be a model because of his body image. Blonde Rachel, though, is talking about her period. Pickel talks to the rest about Jesse's issues and how they should all be supportive of him.

New day... new code. If you want to release your bodily wastes, then remember the US day of independence. 0704. Yay!

News from Mary Alice. "I hope you paid attention in science class, because your knowledge will be put to the test in today's Edge Challenge." Blonde Rachel says that her grade in science was good because she probably cheated off of someone.

Teams of two...

VJ & Jesse
Angela & Daniel
Brett & Pickel
Lisa & Blonde Rachel
Andre & Aussie Rachael

Did we mention that Lisa hates science?

Edge Challenge: AMSM Science Fair

If you remember your old science fair, the object is to take a scientific principle and explain it using a homemade exhibit. Here to help with judging is Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Everyone grew up on Bill Nye the Science Guy. Except Andre. "Who's Bill Nye?"

Who's Bill Nye?

WHO'S BILL NYE?

WHO'S... BILL ... NYE?!

The topics...

Brett & Pickel: Newton vs. Einstein
Andre & Aussie Rachael: Density flow
Angela & Daniel: Solar House
Jesse & VJ: "Volcano, baby."
Lisa & Blonde Rachel: Magnetic levitation

You'll be judged on three criteria: 1) accuracy of project, 2) quality of visual aids, 3) overall grasp of topic.

Winners will have an edge going into the next Callback Challenge, in the form of a mystery box... Oooooh.

You have two hours. Good luck!

Needless to say, this is the most challenging of the challenges yet. Luckily Bill Nye will be round to have his brain picked. Or not. Because he's as confused as any of the models.

The Pickel has a little comedy up his sleeve. Could make the difference in the presentation. Or maybe it'll be Andre and his half-naked Australian partner.

First is the Magnetic Levitation project. Lisa's prepared to BS her way through the presentation. Rachel... not so much. Lisa... doubly not so much.

Brett & Pickel come across as Newton vs. Einstein... the extra-nerdy edition. Ben calls it a Yiddish theatre production. Andre even gives them some love.

Andre & Aussie Rachael are determined not to let a little thing like science get in the way of a good presentation. Ben... way too smart to fall for that.

Jesse & VJ are asked every question in the book about vulcanology. And their volcano is about as dormant as Mount St. Helens right now. Wait, there it goes.

Angela & Daniel are given the complicated task of explaining a solar-powered house. But Daniel has no problem explaining it. Neither does Angelsa. Unfortunately, Blonde Rachel finds it a bit Kiernan-esque.

Final grades...

Lisa & Blonde Rachel: D+
Andre & the other Rachael: C+
Brett & Pickel: A-
Jesse & VJ: C-
Angela & Daniel: ... A+! They get the edge!

And said edge... Sunless tanner. They're going to get a sunless tanning session from Mystic, which will come in handy for the Callback Challenge, a tropical shoot by the pool. The rest of the models are left to their own devices.

Callback Challenge: Tropical Photo Shoot

Brett & Pickel begin by... shaving their chests. Jesse says that he's going to use his best asset... right now, that would be VJ.

Each team will be making an ad for a sunless tanner called "Bronze-O-Matic." We can make ANY body look good. And to prove it... Send in the nerds! We've got a female nerd as well. Because that's cool... Each team will be given one nerd to make over and tan sunlessly for the shoot. Because Angela & Daniel won the Edge, they get a session with the Mystic Tan booth. The others are going to have to make their own sunless tanner. Good luck with that.

You have an hour to make your nerd as tan as possible, and 30 minutes to shoot your ad.

First thing to do... shave down the nerds that need shaving.

To add insult to ... well, insult, Andre wants his nerd to go in front of the camera au naturel.

Angela & Daniel's nerd gets three or four... or five coats of tanner. ... or six. Meanwhile, Brett & Pickel get an idea of using cocoa powder and lotion. Only problem is... 20 minutes later... She looks like she has "some kind of disease that's not good."

The word you're looking for is "leprosy."

The other nerds are having similar... misfortune.

Shooting today is Melissa Manning, a professional photographer. Mary Alice will be judging on the quality of the photos and the quality of the tans.

Pickel/Brett/Genevieve: Genevieve looks like she's been rolling around in her own filth. She smells good, though.

Lisa/Blonde Rachel/Nerd: He's a good bartender, but the stars were the models. Their bodies were sick.

Andre/Aussie Rachael/Nerd: Rachael's issue is being close to naked nerd junk.

Jesse/VJ/Nerd: They want to make the nerd look like Tara Reid. It's going to take a few drinks... in me.

Angela/Daniel/Steve: They play up the fact that now Steve is cool enough for the models.

Talking to Andre and Aussie Rachael, Jesse says that VJ stole his thunder. Andre doesn't appreciate VJ for being what he calls "a snake".

The results of the Callback Challenge... needless to say are hilarious. Andre & Aussie Rachael come out of the gate, while Angela & Daniel use their edge to the advantage. Jesse says that VJ set him up.

Andre says to Jesse to tell Mary Alice what he told him. Much to VJ's angel.

But more on that later. Andre & Aussie Rachael have the callback, and they will be back tomorrow.

Jesse feels like a lamb being led to the slaughter. He doesn't want to go home... But someone has to.

Elimination

Reminder: Aussie Rachael and Andre are immune. The other eight... vulnerable.

On the block: Lisa & Blonde Rachel... and Jesse. Mary Alice thinks that Jesse is a good actor, but not a great model. He thinks she has a problem with him personally. Lisa needs to be more serious about the edge challenge. Rachel, too.

Very painful decision, but... "like the audience who witnessed the swan song of the corpulent soprano Leontyne Price in 1997... Jesse, the fat lady has sung."

Jesse thinks in the end, it's a competition. He may not be their choice, but he's still Jesse, and he's comfortable with it.

As for the other two, consider this your final warning.

Remember, even your closest friend is your competition, because there's 100 large in it for the one left standing. And next week... time to carve some fetal pigs
