Five candidates are left standing: Amy, Craig, Erika, Michelle and Taylor.
Today’s challenge:
They will compete to be chosen as a bride’s maid or groom’s man for couples who have come to the White Wedding Chapel to get married. The winner must be selected by three couples to be safe from elimination. The two who are chosen the least number of times will go to the elimination.
The secret challenge:
Will the candidates offer a kind word to a stranger, or not?
Before the wedding chapel challenge, the candidates are directed, one-by-one, to a dressing room where they will dress as a potential wedding attendant. While in the dressing room, they overhear a nearby conversation between two actors who are playing the roles of an overweight bride-to-be, and an abusive mother who makes hurtful comments to her daughter when she can’t get her zipped into any of the wedding dresses; complaining that the bride was supposed to LOSE weight—not GAIN weight.
The scenario goes on long enough that it is starts to be uncomfortable and each of them peeks out a couple of times to see what is going on. When the mother leaves the room, the candidate finally leaves the dressing room and then, must walk past the “bride” who is sitting there alone, looking quite forlorn. Only TWO out of the five says anything to the bride. Uh-oh.
At the wedding chapel, Craig and Taylor are chosen over and over again. Who wouldn’t want either one of those handsome young men in their wedding photos. Erika is blond and perky and she is also selected several times. Michelle and Amy are chosen the least, with Amy only getting chosen once. So, those two will be going to the final faceoff.
Amy has a complete meltdown in front of the others and the judges watch to see if any of them offer any sympathy or not. Michelle in particular, ignores her and is focused on herself.
Since the judges were having a very hard time with their final decision, Vanessa had set up another test that took place earlier in the dressing room. When the “florist” comes in to bring the girls their bouquet, she tells each one that her friends are one of the couples getting married that day and she was going to tell them to pick her as their attendant. As we are shown the result of that “final straw” test, we see that Michelle is happy to hear she will have an edge, but Amy tells her “no,” she wants to meet everyone first. So, that was the deciding factor.
Michelle is shown the tape of herself peeking at the questions in the elevator, not helping the lady with her dog, bad mouthing Liz and not comforting the abused bride. She is also told she was the only one who accepted the offer to "cheat" when the florist offers her friend's vote. Michelle is mortified and sobs after she leaves, saying she doesn’t want people to remember her like that. Oh well…
This week’s episode was not one of their best. It was actually pretty boring—very little drama—and the ending was predictable. Bye bye, Michelle.
Next week—Craig and Taylor, and Amy and Erika remain.
