This week, there are six candidates remaining and still hoping to win the fictitious contest for, "The Face of Vegas."
Last week, David was eliminated. Craig returns to the group low-key, and tries to act like that was one of the hardest things he has ever had to do. His new strategy is playing the sympathy card. The kids all go out to party and experience the Vegas night life. Craig and Liz connect on the dance floor, but everybody else thinks it's gross.
This week's assignment is to play the part of a guide on a double-decker tour bus. They are given a 10-page pamphlet of facts about Vegas, to read before morning. This soon becomes a daunting task, as apparently, most of them haven't read ANYTHING in quite a while. The best quote came from Amy: "Do I look like a book person to you?"
The next day, the "tourists" on the bus dutifully listen to each candidate's attempt to pass him or herself off as a tour guide. They then fill out comment cards after each tour; ranking the candidate on enthusiasm, presentation and appearance. Only Taylor actually offered much in the way of information about Vegas. He did a very good job; and in the end, won the assignment. Craig didn't offer much of anything, but his good looks and enthusiasm won over the tourists. But, as always, the true test for the players was something else — whether or not they would be tempted to cheat on the feedback cards handed in by the tourists, by changing the scores. Liz was the only one who cheated. Uh-oh!! Very bad move, because unfortunately, she wound up in the bottom two and along with Michelle, headed for the face off room and possible elimination.
Liz was ready to give up after that, and just wanted to go home. She knew that practically everyone in the house was against her and she didn't have any fight left. Craig talked her out of leaving, and convinced her to at least plead her case at the face off.
The judges decided that Michelle should be given a second chance and Liz would have to go home. When she is shown the tape of all the dishonest and humiliating things she has done during the competition (stealing her entire costume, revealing the secret to the magic trick, peeking at the interview questions, not helping the woman look for her lost ring, cheating on the comment slips); she just walks out.
The judges act surprised (really??), but her reaction makes them feel better about their decision. Ahhhhhh......
