The gamers thought they were going to enjoy some
R&R.... except that they were actually going to a club to dance... Meanwhile,
Mark & Ciji kicked things up a bit, Jamal & Dante ratchet up their rivalry, and
Swoozie went into the final head-to-head to prove that the best person he can
put up against Geoff was... himself. Turns out to be true as Geoff was sent
home. Now eight gamers remain.
Swoozie reenters the house with the words, "He
almost beat me." That really hits home. It's now survival of the fittest.
Next morning, the gamers were blindfolded and
split up into their teams as they were taken to...
REAL-LIFE CHALLENGE: Team Assault
This week's game is "HALO 3" (Microsoft Game
Studios for Xbox 360), the biggest selling title of all time on the 360, one of
the classic run-and-gunners on this or any system.
The teams were split, red vs. blue.
RED: Jamal, Robert, Swoozie, Dante
BLUE: Amy, Mark, Ciji, Chelsea
The ultimate objective: blow up your opponent's
base. The teams will be outfitted with paintball gear and a computer that will
feed them vital info. The mission has two parts: make your way to your
opponent's base... and another directive to be revealed later.
Right now, it's time to gear up and shoot
something.
The guys thinks that the girls won't stand a
chance. The girls... start to strategize. Red Team's strategy is "Don't fire
until you see the whites of their lights." It's a strategy Robert doesn't get
quickly. He tends to rush into things while he's playing and today, it gets him
killed by Mark. Swoozie also gets killed, while the Red Team continues not to
communicate. Dante doesn't need to, as he gets off Ciji and Chelsea.
Dante makes for the door... And gets picked off
by Dante. Boom. Head shot. Jamal makes up for it by killing Mark. Amy makes up
for it by killing Jamal. So she gets the win for the Blue Team. Because of that,
they get a 10 second advantage.
Mission: destroy the other team's base. Choose a
bomb from the armory. Use the pipes and rope to get the bomb into the box at the
end of the cage. Then using your mobile PC, enter a code to gain access to the
other team's base. Then plant the bomb and escape before it detonates.
Blue Team is unleashed first. After ten seconds,
the Red Team is unleashed. Red Team retrieves the bomb first. Blue Team hacks
into their door first and wins the challenge. As the winners, they will be
coached by the WCG US Team Halo champions before the isolation challenge.
And of course, Red Team will go into isolation
tied for last.
The guys return to find "Halo 3" waiting for
them. Time to practice, all the while Dante is still seething after the loss.
Mark & Ciji were just supposed to be good
friends. Until Mark pulls Ciji into a bathroom for a kiss. And then things get
weird. She says she's here to win, and she's not letting anyone get in the way
of that. Mark says that they've hit a plateau.
The WCG USA Halo champs, Team Mob Deep, arrive.
Their assessment: gone from "not that great" to "really good" in a short time.
Joel arrives to form up new teams...
BLUE: Robert, Mark, Swoozie, and Jamal
RED: Dante, Chelsea, Ciji, and Amy
It's Chelsea's first time playing Halo 3. Good
luck, Dante.
As for the Blue Team, all of a sudden, they're
fully stacked with Mark in Dante's place.
ISOLATION CHALLENGE: Halo...
Four vs. four. Team Slayer match on Snowbound.
Most kills at the end of 20 minutes wins. This is the challenge a lot of the
gamers have been waiting for. This is a team challenge, but you will be ranked
individually.
The teams enter simultaneously to see arguably
the biggest set up yet. Not only that, all the players get to interact via their
headphones.
Ciji ends up getting 1 kill... She says she's a
better player than she showed, but she wants to go through the plan of getting
Dante kicked out of the house.
In the end... it was an all out frag fest.
So who's dead last this week? Up for elimination
tonight is... DANTE. He was on both losing teams.
In first place this week... Mark! He was on both
winning teams. He will choose Dante's challenger for the Elimination Challenge.
Dante was not happy about being in the bottom.
Dante says that Ciji should be put up, not just because she sabotaged his team,
but also because she's a flirt. "Cut her off. You don't need a friendship with
her first. She's done this with a lot of guys. All she wants is what she wants,
and if she doesn't get it, she'll treat you like she treats me."
Ciji tells the sordid tale of "The Kiss" to Amy.
This is the exact same thing that happened to her and Dante. And Amy wants to
know this... why?
Heading to the rooftop... Mark ends up deciding
to put up someone who's been a long time coming... but it's time for JAMAL and
DANTE to finally duke it out in their duel.
But there's a twist! Each player will choose a
partner for a two-vs.-two assault match. These players will not be in danger of
elimination. They are there simply to help.
Jamal picks up Robert. Dante picks up Mark.
Ciji is quick to point out that Jamal just lost
$100,000. Good going.
Mark says that he's not going to throw the match.
Jamal says that Robert's better than Mark is. Dante confirms that he
would've done the same thing. There's an unspoken bond with Dante and Robert.
Dante's convinced that he's going to win.
Jamal's 99.9% sure that he's going to give it his
all. He doesn't want Robert to throw the match.
The next morning, Dante says that he
doesn't want to lose the friendships that he has made in the house. Jamal says
that the epic battle is about to begin...
Let's go to Samsung!
ELIMINATION ROUND: Shoot Your Mouth Off
It's a two-for-one special in an assault match.

This is Jamal & Robert's second time separately
in Samsung Stadium. The players take their positions. The first team to detonate
three bombs in their enemy camp wins. In the case of a tie, most kills wins. And... GAME ON!
This is no doubt the rivalry they've been waiting
for.
And Mark's first down, as Red Team bombs first.
Mark and Dante both get killed multiple times. Red Team sets their second
bomb... and they're up two to nothing. The Blue Team needs to make something
happen.
And that's just something we don't need to see.
Jamal stops to dry-hump Dante's corpse. Jamal arms the rocket launcher and this
could be the end for the Blue Team as BOTH players are taken down in one shot.
He then plants the bomb and...
RED TEAM WINS! Which means that Jamal will return
to the house.
A lot of talk happening before and up to this
match. All Dante can do now is say goodbye to Mark, because for Dante... it's
GAME OVER.
Next time, we go live... NBA Live, that is... en
route to $100,000 and the title of WCG Ultimate Gamer.
