We open to everyone sleeping and/or generally being boring, which makes me nervous about this episode indeed. Tailor Made adds to that by explaining that things shall be different now that the underdogs have taken over the house. I'm glad for them, don't get me wrong, but I'm still a little nervous for the fate of this series! 20 Pack feels the same way, so he decides his alliance must eliminate Tailor Made today, no doubt about it.

The cast gathers around Craig's picture to hear the challenge deets. Now that there are no teams, apparently this show is free to move quickly! I'm not sure how to handle this news. Anyway, Craig congratulates the houseguests on making it this far, but It is skeptical.

Craig reveals that without teams, there's no need for captains or uniforms! Everyone just has to be ready for the challenge, and Craig warns them not to miss the bus. Clearly this is some sort of omen for the competition, but Saaphyri concludes Craig was out drinking the night before, which is probably equally accurate.

The group heads off to the challenge, where they're met with a sea of mannequins. 20 Pack is instantly thrilled, because boyfriend loves him some shopping! Alas, that's not what's going down. Craig introduces the competition by explaining that from now on, each challenge will have one winner, and that person will be Paymaster. Each challenge will also have one Dead Last Loser, and that's the person who comes in last place. The Dead Last Loser automatically gets voted into the strongbox, which means we'll see a lot of Angelique in there from now on.

Craig says that everyone's either thrown someone under the bus or been under it at some point. Again we're treated to clips of Ice talking to WKRP in Cincinnati, which I will not even discuss at this juncture! To VH1's credit, they don't name the station this time, maybe in an effort to keep my face from exploding. They also screen clips from Real Chance of Love, but no one watched that show so it's irrelevant. Regardless, the cast will have a chance to crush their competition in a challenge called Under the Bus. I love the names of these activities, FYI. From now on, they should all be called Self-Explanatory.

Behind Craig are six rows of dummies. When he gives the signal, each person will run to the dummies and grab one that represents a competitor. There are two for each person, which represent their status in the challenge. There are also several trick dolls with pictures of Craig, just for laughs, so they'll have to hunt for their chosen enemy. Then they'll launch that mannequin into a target zone before a papaya bus drives through. If done in time, the body will be crushed! If not, other wacky shit ensues. The Dead Last Loser will be the person who has both of their dummies eliminated first. This challenge seems disturbing, so naturally everyone is glued to Craig's instructions. Having killed a man before, Buckwild is already intimately familiar with the rules.

20 Pack is up first! He races to the bodies and spends way too long looking for a Tailor Made mannequin. By the time he grabs it, the papaya bus is nearly at the target zone. He's unable to launch it over in time, and that means one of 20 Pack's dummies is eliminated as punishment! Cue sad trombone.

Up next is It, who's just as successful as you'd imagine. This will come as a shock but I've never been an It fan, and I'm even less of one if he really is putting on an act like commenter Snootchy Bootches reports. Either way, he decides to throw Cali's mannequin under the bus but misses his shot. He also grabs alliance partner Myammee's dummy instead, so...there's that.
