However, it is nice to see how far Jasmine and Dave have come, and even how much Nicole has opened up and Sam has become less of a douche. Like any other relationship, after getting used to each other and getting to know each other's perks and quirks, each pair has gotten more comfortable and therefore become a better team. It's good practice for real life. I mean, how much more comfortable can you get than making fart jokes during a moment of silence, right?
Also, I'm not sure how I missed this moment the first time around, but I thought it was worth the screengrab. Insert your own oral sex joke here.
"Suckin' on my sucker, Suckah"
Later on, Dave helps Nicole study for the elimination round. That's geek-speak for flirting. He tries to gather the chutzpa to ask her out, but buries his feelings in trivia about Chianti. Outside, Jas tries to get the scoop.
The Last Yenta
Trying to help a brotha out, Jas suggests that if Sam and Nicole make it through, they should all have "a 4-date or something. What's that called?" A double date, idiot savant. Elsewhere, Nicole is quizzing Sam, who is a shockingly diligent studier, and Jen/William have put their differences aside (finally!) and have together made the decision to go forth and (try to) conquer. They even zip up a suitcase together as a symbol of their solidarity.
"United We Stand"
Jasmine advises Dave about his relationship with Nicole. She advises well. What the hell? I can't get a good read on this girl. She's smart, she's an idiot, she's observant, she's a dipshit. I don't even know her anymore.
She convinces Dave to sprout a pair and ask Nicole out because, as an old sage named Elvis once said, it's now or never. I know I say this all the time, but please will someone help Nicole dress herself in the morning? And at night? She looks like a wayward señorita.
Que fea
The one thing she ever wore that I liked was her "Reading Is Sexy" tee. It sure is! Can I get a "hell yeah"? Or at least a "So Say We All"?
Anyway, Dave manages to eke out an invitation to an ice cream date and the collective groan of 3 million viewers can be heard 'round the world. That's fucking precious. Nicole suffers through the proposal and agrees to meet up with him in Boston. Exit Nicole, enter yenta. Jasmine whispers excitedly, "DID YOU TELL HER YOU LIKE HER????" and grills Dave for the deets, while Dave gives said deets in an unnaturally high-pitched voice and with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Totally normal, completely comfortable. No problem.
In the elimination room, Nicole says that she is doing this for her partner. Well hey, then you're a winner already! What a good sport. First up is the Amazon versus the future Playgirl model.
"Bra, how can you even hope to compete with THIS?"
Jen gets one question right about grape skin. Sam gets one right, a question about the difference between Dionysis and Bacchus, and claims psychic assistance by Nic. Jen gets the next one wrong, a difficult question about wine scientists (who knew there was such a thing?). Sam gets his sip, swish, slosh, slash order correct and there you have it. Does any team win when the first partner comes out on the bottom? Methinks no. William comes out for his turn and admits that it's his fault that she got it wrong because he kept mispronouncing the word, and mispronouncing it in a way similar to the wrong answer that she chose. WHERE'S YOUR CABERNET NOW, BITCH?
Nicole and William then each get one question right. Still tied. The suspense is killing me! William misses out on a question about Amy Winehouse and I wonder if he's been living under a rock for the last year. No, just living in a house with a bunch of hot girls he likes to disrespect. Anyway, that seals the deal, Jen and William are FINALLY out of this competition, just as soon as they start to get along. Don'tcha just know it?
So the final two teams are Sam and Nicole and Dave and Jasmine. I never, ever thought Dave and Jas would make it this far, but maybe that's how they got this far - always under the radar.

I noticed the T-shirt thing and asked, "Why is William wearing Nichole's shirt?" Only I didn't know it was dark horse comics. I thought it was the International Chess Club symbol. Who knew? I would be so happy to see William and his amazon robot gone except the next show is the last show which usually brings everyone back. The only good news is the host guy hinted that this time would be different. Maybe, just maybe I will not have to see William again.

I noticed the t-shirt too, but not on Nicole. I noticed Sam had worn it on an earlier episode and it struck me as very strange that he and William should have the same t-shirt. I too didn't realize it had to do with comicon. Probably Sam picked it out and the rest followed suit to match the cool kid :)
Was so glad that Jasmine and Dave won the challenge. Sam was a putz for not allowing them to bask in their win a little bit. Big puss had to ruin everyone's good time. Still I'm glad he and Nicole made the finals over William and Jen. I don't think I could have stood it if William so undeservedly made it to the end. I do hope that Dave and Jas in the whole thing.

Your screenshots had me laughing out loud. Great job!!
William and Jen are by far the most annoying team they've ever had on this show. SO relieved they're gone!!
Jasmine and Dave actually used to annoy me as well, but I love them now. It just shows how much they've grown from this experience, and O Snapp I completely agree with you that Jasmine is so erratic in the intelligence department. One day she's a genius and the next day an idiot- still funny though.
