And This Is
Where Your Ego Goes...
November 4
Last time, a science fair
decided that Angela and Daniel would have an edge going into the
Callback Challenge, which would have them coating... literally... some
dorks. That's where Jesse, after week after week of warnings, finally
got his walking papers. Now nine remain.
Andre says that it sucks
having eight crazy people share the same house. Two of said crazy
people, VJ and Blonde Rachel, end up cuddling.
The others wake up to the
note du jour, attached to an anatomy book. Point Angela, who got her
degree in animal sciences. "Today's Edge Challenge is all about anatomy,
but not the kind that VJ and Rachel have been studying late at night."
Mary Alice isn't going to tell them what the challenge is... but she
swears that she's not going to be anywhere near that room when it
happens. Must be something oogy.
Of course, since they all
have to study the book inside and out, what does VJ do? Run off with it.
Andre gets his own study took, a model of a woman's womb. Then he goes
off and complains that this reminds him of his relationship, wherein the
woman is suffocating the man. "You're free now, brother." Angela is
pretty much the know it all on this challenge.
The smarties arrive at a
high school science lab, where they meet Ben and Jim Morrison, the AP
biology teacher there. Ben says that knowledge of the human anatomy is
essential, and the best way to learn that...
Edge Challenge: Pig
Dissection
Each model is given a fetal
pig, that is a pig that was never alive. Simple really, just identify
body parts in 30 minutes: heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, intestines,
tongue, stomach, gall bladder, and testicles. VJ says he will win this
one because he worked at a butcher. Brett says he'll win because he was
an anatomy major. Angela thinks that she has the edge.
The winners will win the
edge for tomorrow's challenge, a script to the callback challenge, a
30-second commercial in the shower. Not only that, only the winner... or
winners... will shoot the scene in warm water.
Thirty minutes to dissect a
whole pig. Go!
Moment of the challenge
comes from when Andre asks.... "Where the hell are these balls!"
Three... two... one... Put
it down. Walk away.
Final grades...
Aussie Rachael: B
VJ: A
Andre: C
Blonde Rachel: A-
Brett: A-
Lisa: B. She had the only woman pig
Pickel: A
Angela: A-
Daniel: A+
So Daniel beats the others
to win the pig dissection, winning warm water and the script.
Back to Lisa. Turns out that
her pig... DID have balls. Andre, hearing of this, again wants justice.
Andre says he's going to challenge it. Sure enough, Andre and Angela go
to the teacher to challenge it. He takes a look and... "I wish I could
call you a liar, but you're not."
REVISED GRADE.
Lisa: C
Andre: C
Hopefully we can work past
this.
Daniel works on his script.
A lot of lines for 30 seconds. He didn't feel comfortable with it.
Meanwhile Andre works on his presence... with cold water.
Callback Challenge:
30-second Commercial
The challenge is to shoot a
commercial for Lather Body Wash with Matte Heinze and Zosimo Maximo.
Matte will pick the person to get the callback. He's looking for
performance. Daniel will get warm water and a day to remember his
script. The others will have 20 minutes to learn their script and then
perform it... in ice cold water.
One of the other models will
decide which take to show Matte...
And sure enough, everyone
has a partner... except Andre. There's not one person he trusts. He's
left to trust Pickel with his fate.
Oh, and by the way, the best
takes do not stop.
Daniel is first, but he
isn't at all confident about his presence. VJ goes around and hears the
script from other teams. He's cheating. Brett thinks that it's
unfair. VJ thinks he's not doing anything wrong, so if you think that
it's wrong, then say something about it.
First team is Daniel and
Aussie Rachael. Daniel takes the first take... some edge that was, eh?
Rachael, meanwhile, is experienced in commercial work. She had better
nail this. One thing she's not experienced in... cold showers. Seems
like she's not the only one.
Now... the greatest hits...
- Blonde Rachel...
brain-freezing.
- Andre: "Make the smart choice and don't (^_^) with the Russians."
- Pickel: "There's nothing more relaxing than being a retard."
- Pickel: "Yuzu bergamont body wash."
- Pickel: "Yuzu bergamo body wash."
VJ turns out to be the most
natural. Of course it helps that he had technically more than 20 minutes
with the script.
Final grades:
Daniel: B
Aussie Rachael: A
Angela: B-
Lisa: C-
Brett: C
Pickel: B
Andre: B+ ("Soviet.")
Blonde Rachel: F.
VJ: A
Andre opens up about VJ
cheating his way through the commercial. Mary Alice says that he didn't
cheat. He was "paying attention to what was going on around him." VJ
wins this one, which means that he'll return next week.
Rachel, though, didn't
realize that this competition was going to be as hard as it is.
Elimination
Reminder: VJ is immune. He
thinks that he's the only person who understands the competition.
Mary Alice decides that
she's only calling down TWO people. And she doesn't even need to state
who's coming down, because Blonde Rachel and not-as-blonde Lisa take the
stroll. Lisa says that she's not up to par. She lacks in intellect, but
makes up for it in confidence. Rachel says that she's there because
she's not beautiful just on the outside, but on the inside. Rachel
out-paced Lisa in the Edge challenge, and Lisa out-paced Rachel in the
Callback challenge, so this one is going to come down to... a smart-off.
1) In what country is the
region known as Darfur?
- No one gets it. It's Sudan.
2) Who wrote "Tom Sawyer"?
- No one. It's Mark Twain
3) If you bet $5 on a 3-1
bet and you win, what do you get?
- Not $5. Rachel gets $15 for the lead, 1-0.
4) In what century was the
American Civil War?
- Rachel gets two in a row, 2-0. Correct: the 19th Century
5) Who did George W. Bush
run for president against in 2004?
- Rachel gets the turkey, John Kerry.
Lisa thinks she has amazing
street smarts.
6) What's Mary Alice's last
name?
- "Alice." Yeah. Lisa's done. Just to make it official. Ben? "Like the
Articles of Confederation after the ratification of the Constitution,
you are now historical arcana. Goodbye and good luck."
Eight are left in the hunt
for a modeling deal and $100,000. Rachel needs to step it up, because
she dodged a bullet. We're down to half, and the competition is going to
get tougher. See what happens next week as the models get their geometry
on.
