We're getting close to the end. After everyone enjoys the fruits of their labor, it's a new day with new assignments and a new twist... Today, if one person gets a penalty, then the entire lot will share in that penalty. Otherwise, the kids will get a group prize.

Frank: Do a professional shoot for Ryan Roberts' website.
Art: Redesign & upgrade a bike within the time and budget given.
Josh: Plan a sit-down dinner/birthday party for a celebrity client... the Coors twins, Diane & Elaine Klimaszewski.
Jim: Perform two 15 minute sets of different material.

Frank does his homework by visiting the web site and getting fitted. So far, perfect for sample sizes. Perfect on the shoot as well. As a surprise, Tomiko offers up a visit from Frank's family... Awwww. Kim seems happy to see the new and improved Frank.

Art is given 15 hours and $3000 to execute his plans, and he does HIS homework. Prep work: trashing $90 chrome to make black. Now to the assembly, which he kinda rushes though, but still has some time to fix. With two hours remaining... the bike runs.

Josh... is soiling himself at the prospect of meeting the Coors Twins. They're detailing the party while Josh is fawning over them, while negotiating the deal for 15 percent of the cut. Frank would've called them back and said what was doable. Meanwhile, planning becomes assembling, and reservations, as they are wont to do, fall through. Time change, agitation, but nevertheless, a little help from his friends (namely Frank) goes a long way.

This challenge is hard, Barry says. Jim can only come up with a minute and a half of "guys think of sex every 16 seconds". First stop, South Central with an all-African American audience. No love... none. "I like to get up on stage and say what the hell I'm thinking." He only lasts 3 or 4 minutes. Second set involves Gary Valentine, "King of Queens". Again, a niche audience (Latinos). Again, no love. And Al is watching as well. Ow.

To the judgment room... Josh R. says Josh B. was great. Stephanie gives him a gold star. Jerry is pleased with Art's job, with which he only spent less than $1000. However, Stephanie called the end result a little boring. Art agreed, but says that this wasn't the time for it. Tomiko once again calls "Mr. Pace" a blossoming flower. The photos will be used in the website. Barry calls "Mr. Greeley" is a wilting flower. Stephanie still calls "Mr. Greeley" off-color. Jim agrees that he tried to adapt too much. "You don't get it! You can't be sensitive to who you're talking to!"

Art, Frank, and Josh get a prize. But Jim earns his penalty, meaning that the entire house must be cleaned by the whole group, top to bottom, not because the show didn't work, but because Jim didn't work.  But then again, perhaps this was deserved. The house was getting kinda funky, and the guys (and by that, I mean Jim) were starting to get a little cocky. "I'm steppin' up," he says...

So here's were we stand...

Art: :) :) X :) :)
Frank: :) :) :) :) :)
Jim: :) :) :) :) X
Josh: :) X :) :) :)

Next week... no more challenges as we head to Vegas for the finale to be judged by the people who will hire them. It's either win your dream job... or go home with nothing. Will Josh's "Everybody wins" attitude be a premonition? Stay tuned...
