We're back at the house, and Christina is arriving on crutches. Trish is helping her get back upstairs. AJ apologizes to Christina, stating that it was his fault that she got hurt. Christina says it's fine and not to worry about it.

Opening Video

It's a new day of Tough Enough, and the guys are working in the ring while Christina watches. This week, they will be working on charisma. Bill shouts a set of moves that the contestants will be doing repeatedly. AJ and Luke go for a drop toe hold at the same time, which generates a laugh from Austin and some criticism from Bill. Those two get out of the ring, and Andy and Jeremiah are working together. Jeremiah slips up but it's nothing major. Andy and Luke were working together next, and Bill says the pairing of those two was great.

The session is over and Bill tells everyone to beat it.

Commercial Break

And we're back. It's time for today's life lesson, which, as stated before, is all about charisma. Bill tells them why it's important, and then introduces them to James Roday (he stars in that USA show "Psych"). So the Life Lesson will have each of the contestants being the tour guide for a tour bus going through Hollywood. AJ is about as interesting as a 2x4. Luke cuts some cheesy jokes, which I found funny, but no one else seemed too. Christina isn't that... good. Andy is up next, and Bill doesn't seem to impressed. Finally, Jeremiah is up. Jeremiah did very well, and I think he was the only person that impressed Bill. The tour is over now, and Bill asks James how everything went. James says at the end of the day, he thinks that he'll remember Jeremiah's tour presentation the most.

Up next... THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MAN IN SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT IS ON TOUGH ENOUGH! Stay tuned...

We're back at the training area, and Stone Cold introduces them to The Rock. Rock has them get in the ring, where they will be working with Rocky himself. Just a couple lock ups and arm drags, the usual stuff. He's worked with Andy, Luke, Jeremiah, and AJ without a problem, and Christina can't work because of her ankle. The Rock tells them all that they did fine.

Now (Rock is still here) each of the contestants will be cutting a promo against Big Bill himself. Jeremiah cuts a twinkie joke, then calls himself "Daddy Rigs". It wasn't too bad, and they all confer amongst each other and they said it was fine. Luke is at it now, and his promo is a little more on the serious side. The judges say it was a little off, but nothing too bad. Christina is at it now. Bill doesn't look very impressed. It's like the words were all there, but there didn't seem to be any emotion. The Rock says she needed to Bring It (which made me smile), and he's not sure if she did that. Not the most impressive.

Commercial Break

Back, and now it's Andy's turn to cut a promo on Bill. Andy cuts a serious promo, very well worded, with an great ending line: "You're just like the other 4 out there... Your only claim to fame is just going to be a loss to me." I was kind of surprised when they said they weren't very impressed with Andy. Now, we're finally up for Tumbleweed himself, AJ. AJ seemed to be pretty into his promo, and I think all the judges were very impressed by it.

Now The Rock is gonna cut a promo on the group as a whole. He's bringing it for sure, he tells them to shut their mouths before he has to Layeth The Smackdown on all their candy asses! He threw in a couple extra words, and as always it was a great promo. I don't think I've ever heard a bad promo from The Rock. He says AJ did the best and congratulates him. SCSA says it's time for him, Trish, and Bill (Booker is doing Smackdown apparently) to confer and decide who's at the bottom.

Commercial Break... Elimination coming soon?

Back, and Austin, Bill, and Trish are discussing the contestants. AJ is still getting heat for his ring work. Christina doesn't seem to have anyone's favor really, so she's in the danger zone. Jeremiah is praised for his mic work, but Bill calls him dangerous in the ring. Andy hasn't impressed anyone the week, and he's not happy about it. The bottom three? AJ, Christina, Andy.

Back at the house, Luke and Jeremiah are celebrating, but Andy is PISSED. He doesn't think he belongs in the bottom three, and he says he's been busting his ass since day one... And then he says that he'll make sure Stone Cold knows that.

Commercial Break: Elimination is NEXT!

We're back, and the bottom three are in the ring. Stone Cold enters, and he talks to Andy first. He says he doesn't know much about Andy, and Andy tells him that he's hard working, just like his dad who dug ditches. Andy says he's busting his ass doing everything he can. Stone Cold says his dad should have hit him in the head with that shovel maybe working hard would have rubbed off on him. Andy is slowly getting mad, and Stone Cold mocks him saying "AM I PISSIN' YA OFF?!". Then he moves on to Christina. He's talking to her about her injury, and tells her that she got a break this week, because it was Charisma week, and she did nothing impressive. He then tells her that he doesn't think she wants this bad enough. He moves over to AJ, and asks if he really wants this, even more then Andy? AJ says damn right I do. Andy says that's BS, and tells him he doesn't even believe him when he's wrestling. Stone Cold calls Andy silent rage, and then starts singing Silent Night, except with Rage. He's a funny, funny man. He moves on to Andy again, and Andy tells him he's got the wrong person in the bottom three. Stone Cold starts criticizing him, and Andy still looks fairly mad. Austin tells Andy to stop being so damn passive, and why he should send Christina home instead of him. He says she's just not as talented as him. Stone Cold then drops a bombshell that 2 of them are going home tonight. Stone Cold steps towards Christina, and asks if she's got any passion in her heart. She nods yes, and he says he's not buying it. He takes her belt. Christina says she thinks it's a mistake, and he says "I don't make mistakes." Now it's down to Andy and AJ. He asks Andy if he's giving it all he's got. He says no sir. Austin asks again, and he yells no sir. Stone Cold: WHAT?! Andy: NO SIR!!! Stone Cold: WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Andy: YES SIR!!!!!!!! Stone Cold finally says to Andy that he better stop holding back and yells at AJ that he's going home just like Christina, then tells Andy he better pick up the damn slack.

Next week is the final elimination!
