Testimonials

On their way to a second shooting location, the Downtown team realizes they made a big mistake by leaving their cell phone at the apartment. Given that they're pressed for time, a huge fight breaks out in the car over who should have to go back and get it. Eventually Stefanie and Kendra get stuck with the task -- despite it appearing to be Mike's fault the phone was forgotten -- and both ladies are pissed as hell about it. So pissed, in fact, they don't pay attention to where they're going and get their dumbasses lost and have to call NYC-native Mike to whine for help even though Mike, Boris and Verne only have 17 minutes left to shoot.

While Mike patiently gives directions to the girls, Verne loses her own patience and tries to wrest the camera from his grip to begin shooting Boris's scenes herself. Both guys scold her to chill out, and Mike snaps at her to stop pouting when she, well, pouts. Just like any biologically born female would, Verne shoots him a dirty look that promises to make his life hell later for that pouting comment. And by later, I mean immediately as she starts spewing f-bombs and having an emotional breakdown in the middle of a convenience store. She may have been born with testicles, but she's definitely a chick.

They head outside to shoot another chase scene. Boris takes off and Verne follows, but winds up totally biting it on the pavement when she trips over a plastic bag that's just lofting around on the sidewalk. Shaken and bloody, she picks herself up and keeps going while Mike crows that it was awesome and totally natural-looking. Somebody needs to kick him in the balls. I bet that'd be natural-looking too.

That plastic bag may be beautiful, but it's also a death trap.

Time for the teams to meet with their editors to put together their videos. Poprah once again seizes control of the Uptown team by ordering the editor on how exactly to edit their video, and refusing to let any of her teammates chime in. Over on the Downtown team, it's Verne taking charge and ordering people around. Fascinating stuff.

Meanwhile, Downtown's Kendra and Stefanie have finally located their forgotten phone and are on their way to join up with the others. In the car, the girls make small talk. Kendra asks Stefanie what kind of industry she wants to work in, and Stefanie brilliantly answers "the entertainment industry" while Kendra sneers and doesn't even try to hide her disdain. It's pretty awesome. This results in the two girls slinging some tame insults at one another ("robotic", "unoriginal"), despite having been total BFFs in the first episode. Cmon, Kendra, I'm disappointed in you. Go for the jugular. Tell Stefanie you know her clothes are knock-offs and you can see her roots.

At this point, we get to see both finished videos. The Uptown team decided to use all its footage from the night before, including the disturbing footage of Brianna yanking out her eyelashes and looking like an alopecia patient. The video's not necessarily the most original, but it's entertaining to watch. Everyone likes pain. The only problem with it is the whole premise is somewhat illogical -- what's the incentive to do these things for Diddy? It's not like he's paying or giving anything to the person who does the craziest thing. All you get is to possibly show up for a few seconds on a website no one's ever heard of. Answer that, Ms. Harvard.

The Downtown team's applesauce video, on the other hand, is much more original, although I find it less entertaining. It's basically Verne chasing Boris around the city, shot in a campy style with over-exaggerated facial expressions. But besides Boris' ridiculous costume, I just don't think this thing has mass appeal. I think a lot of the humor rests on knowing Boris and Verne, personally. Nonetheless, both teams are confident they're going to win.

Trannying it up, indeed.

As for determining the winner, both videos were posted online so Diddy's fans could pick their favorite. And by fans I mean the 17 people who knew about this and regularly visit that website. Later that night, Capricorn contacts the contestants via satellite phone to reveal the results. She's uncharacteristically chipper as she heaps praise on both teams, but finally gets down to business -- with 54.6% of the vote, the winner is the Downtown team! Freaked out about the upcoming elimination, the Uptown team girls immediately begin plotting how to gang up and Red and get him sent home.
