Carlos tells the chicos that it is time to start focusing on getting their major competition out of the house. Then our chicos go into the chapel and amid the normal chorus of 'forgive me' they vote. Geovannie votes last and to justify his vote for Jenn he tells us unoriginally that even though you can take the girl out of Brooklyn you can't take the Brooklyn out of the girl. Hey, Geovannie, way to piss off an entire borough. Plan on spending much time in New York?
After counting the votes, Carlos comes back to reveal that Geovannie is going to the duel and Jenn Pinto needs to watch her back. On cue, Uncle Walty's voice intones, "Be brave my friends."
The chicos gather on the balcony as Maria Conchita sweeps in wearing a leopard print dress. Tonight it's an intimate judging with only Carlos and Maria Conchita to decide the fates of our duelists. Maria starts out by telling Enrique that he failed in a telenovela scene of fire and that there's no passion when the cameras focus on him. Then, to Geovannie, she asks if he's a threat to the other contestants or is he just so bad of an actor that they're afraid to have to work with him. The chicas on the balcony are apparently supporting the latter. Maria Conchita points out that Geovannie seems to have some hecklers and is there something he wants to say. Geovannie tries to explain that the reason they voted for him is because they're a block of girls who don't want to vote for each other. And the girls, acting like the audience in a Roman gladiator arena signal for Geovannie to die.
Geovannie and Enrique turn to face each other and Enrique does this weird thing scrunching up his chin and lowering his brow so he looks a little constipated. It takes me a moment to realize that this is his intimidating look. Poor Enrique, if only he'd accept his nerdiness. There's a lot of room for nerdy actors. The forensic labs in the Law and Order series is full of them.
This is my mean look. So get ready, cuz I'm going to say some mean things, now.
Geovannie tells Enrique that he needs to bring more passion. Enrique tells Geovannie that he has one note, one pulse, and no fire. Furthermore, seeing him in the duel is the first time he's seen him stand up for himself. Geovannie responds, "Well, maybe this is the start of something new for me." And Enrique comes back with, "Great, bring it on." Then, too late, Enrique realizes that it's not so good if Geovannie is fixing his perceived flaws that quickly, so Enrique repeats the winning part of his monologue from last week and promises once again that he'll 'bring it' if they keep him.
The chicas aren't feeling too hopeful for Enrique. Gisel noting that he repeated himself from last week and Maria Conchita's not going to like that. And Jenn threatens that if Geovannie stays she will make him cry and walk out of the house.
Meanwhile, Carlos and Maria Conchita are debating the admittedly limited merits of both Enrique and Geovannie. Enrique has passion but he's seemingly incapable of delivering for the camera and Geovannie sucks as an actor. Maria Conchita decides to go have a shot of tequila to help her decide. Maybe she's hoping that the worm at the bottom of the bottle will know what to do.
Lets have another shot, then eliminate them all.
Maria Conchita returns and the chicos gather in front of the judge's table for her decision. She tells them that Enrique is still not making bold moves and Geovannie needs to learn to connect with other actors, otherwise he comes off as fake and wooden. And then we get to watch...drumroll please...La Masacre de la Mascara.
Geovannie and Enrique are seated at a bar celebrating an imminent influx of wealth. Geovannie turns to cut some limes and light glints off his knife. While Geovannie's back is turned, Enrique sneakily poisons his drink. Then, Enrique's cell phone rings and he turns his back to answer it as Geovannie, unaware of the danger, spins the drink tray until there's no knowing who has the poisoned drink. They both toast and swallow. Geovannie starts gasping and choking like he's dying, then quickly recovers. Oh, crafty editors, keeping us in suspense. As Geovannie excuses himself, saying the drink went down the wrong way, Enrique starts to choke and falls over dead. Geovannie seeing that he's still alive squats down and pees a little in relief.
The new Depends, not just for women anymore.

This review cracks me up. Does the "under the table" cameraman get paid extra for having sit under the entire day, or does he just get the "perks"?

I have to disagree, I think Carlos can pull off the fuschia shirt, specially if it's as tight as that one. He is so dreamy! :) Hilarious recap Yenta, loves it!

Hola;
bmcl: I can't help thinking that working a camera on this set must be a totally bizarre experience...Don't mind me I'm just going to squat under your dinner for a few moments...
MichyPR: I wish that Carlos would sing on the show, but maybe the comparison with the actual contestants would be too painful...sigh...
