Beauty in Motion
January 19

Last time, the beauties were tested not only on their fashion sense, but their sense of charity, as they had $100 to either spend on their own clothes or give to a charity organizer on the street. In the end, Ashley was left to watch the footage of her being less than beautiful, leaving seven players to turn on Chelsea (and one to ally with her).

Back at the house, CJ returns to a house expecting Ashley back. Ray thinks that when CJ returns, perhaps the judges are looking for something more. CJ on the other hand, remembers saying something along the lines of true beauty is not seen with the eyes, but with other senses, feelings, that sort of thing.

He's starting to believe.

Meanwhile, Monique thinks that Chelsea is the least beautiful in that she doesn't sex, she doesn't date, and she doesn't think. "I think most of her head is filled with aerosol." CJ doesn't agree with all of that and he wants it known. Monique tells CJ that she doesn't have a problem with her as a person, but as a sort of ideal head of what a stupid person is, she can't stop talking about all of the things that drive her to grating... to the point where she has to be reminded that Chelsea is actually on the second floor listening to her. Oops.

This week's challenge... an action photo shoot. Their photos will be representing beauty in motion (through sport: volleyball, tennis, basketball, or karate), but they will not be the sole factor in judging. We will also be judging on compassion and sportsmanship.

The teams are...

Red Team: Joel (captain), Laura, Billy & Julia
Blue Team: Monique, Ray, CJ (captain), & Chelsea

And there's a catch. The team captain of the losing team will be automatically sent to the Hall of Beauty, while the worst photo overall will join him.

TODAY'S CHALLENGE: Action Shoot.

While one team is practicing for their shoot, the other will be prepped in the wardrobe room. What they don't know is that the mirror is a hidden camera, and the wardrobe girl Jennifer is actually an actress. You may have seen her as "Flo, the Progressive.com Clerk". Oh, and she's having the worst day ever, having just broken up with her girlfriend.

Starting with Blue Team... and while Chelsea can't stop getting on Monique's nerves, Jennifer's phone rings... CJ comes out and helps Jennifer out. Monique... fails... and burps. Chelsea fails... and spits. Ray does nothing.

Meanwhile, Blue Team starts shooting while Red Team goes into fitting. When Jennifer's phone goes off, Julia is the first to help. Billy complains. Joel tells her to suck it up.

The next day, CJ realizes that he's injured. Medical comes in and looks at it, and when he was kicking for karate, he hyperextended his ankle. It's always something with CJ's feet. Still, though. Nothing's worse than a man down on game day.

Now each team member gets five shots at each sport. The best shot goes forward. The best team wins.

Joel's a force to be reckoned with in karate. The rest of the team takes a little more time. The blue team takes quicker, but CJ talking through the shots doesn't help. And CJ playing tennis... definitely doesn't help. Monique says CJ put forth the least effort out of everyone.

That night, TOGA PARTY! Toga, toga, toga, everybody toga! CJ.... has NEVER been to a toga party. He on the other hand, says something meaningful: "Let's use these looks for good, not evil. These looks are a blessing."

After a few drinks, it's Truth-or-Dare time. Billy reveals that he's attracted to Laura. Laura gets dared to give Billy a lap dance. Ray gets dared to drop trou and run around the pool. And Ray is proud of the fact that he did it completely sober.

Now for the result of the photo shoot. Remember, CJ and Julia earned themselves a moral pass to the next round because of how they treated Jennifer. The red team had a lot of action and a lot of hotness. Blue team only had a fraction of what they had. This one goes to the red team hands down. So CJ will be sent AGAIN to the Hall of Beauty.

But who will join him? ... Monique. Needless to say, she's pissed off, having never failed at anything. She doesn't believe that she deserves to be in the bottom two, especially given that Chelsea and CJ are, in her eyes, worse than her.

But there was no passion in CJ's photograph and he has a history in going along with what the team wants. Will a lack of leadership trump a sense of compassion? Or will Monique's team player mentality supersede her... gas? And will CJ suit up for the occasion?

It's time... for the FINAL STRAW... We have a litterbug. As the actor litters, will either CJ or Monique pick up after him? Let's find out.

Monique is first... aaaaand failure.

CJ is next... aaaand we'll find out what happens later in...

THE HALL OF BEAUTY

This is CJ's second time here.

Monique says she has waited her whole life to showcase what she's made of. She's waited way too long to let someone who doesn't want it as much as her stop her. Going home now would be a huge blow to who she stands for. CJ on the other hand says that it's not about outer beauty. He stands for an inner beauty. It's not that he doesn't care, but he wants to go back and spread his message. It's not foundation that makes you beautiful.

Monique: "CJ had a second chance. Please give me mine."

The player leaving tonight is... MONIQUE. CJ is saved for a second consecutive week.

What happens though when Monique is given the news of the twist? She thinks that she's a beautiful person, one who has proven herself time in and time out... Here comes the evidence... Seems like trying to do Chelsea in has really proven to be her Waterloo. We find out that CJ picked up the litter... and Monique didn't. Monique, defend yourself. "It's been instigated by other people in the house. That's not who I really am." Sure it isn't.

Next week, the hardest things to work with in Hollywood are kids and animals...
