Testimonials

Tori and Brad are fighting about real life and the fact that Brad is unemployed. Tori bitches and moans that Brad doesn't have a real job even though her uncle gave him every tool to find one (because that's not emasculating) and she feels like an idiot. Brad thinks this isn't the time or place for a discussion like this. Really? You don't think you should discuss your financial future and your inability to support a family while competing in a spin off of a spin off of a reality show? With as much sincerity as he can muster, Brad tells Tori that he's trying to be supportive and to be the best person he can be for her so, of course, her reaction is "if you're done with me, just be done with me" and storms out of the room. I hope we're missing at least eighteen hours of conversation between them because, if not, Tori is a total nut ball.

Brad is upset because Tori jumps to conclusions and it's disrespectful to their relationship for her to take off her engagement ring. Just keep the ring on your damn finger. Tori's sane reaction? She tells Brad that if this is the lifestyle he wants then he should take the ring back because she doesn't want to marry into this. Um, this isn't a lifestyle but a television show. Does she think they're going to live in New Zealand, hang from ropes and fall off platforms with a dozen other desperate fame whores? Forever?

Tori continues to storm off and starts packing. Diem just loves Tori and Brad and tells us that we just want them to be okay. Nah. I don't care, to be honest. Figure it out or don't. I'll still sleep well. Diem wisely counsels Tori that she shouldn't leave it like this and that the challenge can tear a relationship apart. Then she gives us a knowing look. Sorry to break the news but the challenge didn't tear your relationship apart - your boyfriend, his serious anger-management issues, and your desperate insecurities did.

Brad is holding court with the boys like Danny Zuko preaching to the T-Birds. He's complaining that Tori harps on him because he doesn't have a job but it's a tough economy and this isn't the time or place to talk about it. Except that you still are. MJ is worried that Brad is starting to crumble and Evan tells him he should follow his heart but no one listens to him because he's wearing his grandpa's sweater.

Danny leaves to go for a run and the T-Birds continue to discuss his relationship. Landon thinks Tori is a flake, MJ is ready to offer Brad a bag to pack his stuff in (and - rightfully - mocks Evan's cardigan), and Mark says that Brad and Tori have reached the peak of that pinnacle (but not yet the apex of the peak of the pinnacle) of letting the game get to them.

Back to the Pink Ladies. Tori admits to Diem that she did the challenge more for Brad than herself. Her heart is 99.9% going home which is great for the other girls because it gives each of them a one in four chance of being in the finals. This girl loves numbers and fake statistics! But Diem will not let her go home - she wants to run with her in the final and wants them to cross the finish line together and hug and say "see you at the wedding!" I bet at least half of these things never occur.

Brad is back from his run and tells Tori that bugging him about a job makes the challenge ten times harder. He says he can't sleep good {{cringe}} if she keeps hounding him and telling him how financially unstable she feels. She collapses in hysterics and asks Brad to stop raising his voice. Which he not doing even a little bit. She says that he's intense and always at 110% but she's mellow and communication is the most important thing. She then says "I'm so out of this," turns on her heel and walks out of the room while Brad is mid-sentence. Such the communicator.
