Enrique comes out with the mad scientist look and major teeth issues, which isn't so good for performing a scene from Shakespeare's As You Like It. The poor little dude is almost in tears because the teeth make it almost impossible for him to enunciate. Luckily, even though he doesn't realize it, they also make what might have been a tedious performance into something that's pretty funny.
Then Vinci comes out in a nasty powder blue suit and after all the drama we find out that Vinci's talent is telling a joke and he's apparently improvising as he goes. It's not even a very funny one from the little I saw. So, this is two weeks in a row that Vinci's switched his challenge. I have to say that Vinci is quickly becoming the reality TV character that I love to hate.
Silvia comes out, looking like a character from Sweeny Todd, and delivers her monologue ending with a creepy witch laugh. Jenn tells us that Silvia is a better actress than Jenn thought, so Jenn's going to keep an eye on her.
Sadly, Kalain doesn't really look that much different except for a big belly and butt that's been created from a fat suit. And he tries to do the capoeira seriously, but it doesn't really work and he falls. Ugh. It's awkward and I'm cringing. What I don't understand is why he didn't play this up? I mean this would have been a golden opportunity to wear the fat suit and wear a headband a la "Return of the Dragon," and do a fat martial arts farce.
Roseny comes out with her hair in a cinnamon bun roll on top of her head and does a Kung Fu something. Kalain is all offended saying that he's done martial arts all of his life and he's never seen anything like that. And he doesn't mean it in a good way. I have to admit the whole thing did look pretty hokey.
Gisel is our last chico and she's definitely done up the old lady look. I'm guessing that in another forty years this is exactly what she's going to look like. Then, when it gets to the song, she actually does something pretty smart and instead of singing it, just kind of acts it out.
The contestants are pretty freaked out after their performances, knowing that the loser is going to have to leave immediately. Little Enrique is even crying after his performance, so I'm guessing that he missed Kalain's lame assed act. I'm fairly sure that everybody else is safe after that trainwreck.
The judges confer and then it's time to announce the winner. Anjelica Vale gets to do the honors and we're told that the winner will receive their choice of a $2000 watch or a necklace, which I assume is of equal value, from Yael designs. And... drum roll...boobaliscious Jenn Pinto wins. Which I'm pretty happy about, since next to Berto, she's my current favorite in the house. Maria Conchita tells Jenn that she rocked and Jenn does her winning pageant runway walk.
When the fun part dies down, Maria Conchita sighs and tells the chicos that its now time for the part that she likes the least. She will call the names of the two people that did not embody their characters. Two? I repeat, while several of our contestants are echoing me. But, Maria Conchita goes on to explain that, while one will go home immediately, the other will duel. So, I am getting my episode of Masacre de Mascara. Yippee! I'm beginning to understand how the telenovela's are so addictive.
The two unlucky chicos are Janet and Kalain. Janet's character was unoriginal and she wasn't consistent in maintaining the character. And Maria doesn't really know what to say about Kalain, except that his talent didn't add to his character. I have to admit that Maria Conchita does try to be nice about these things. Simon Cowell would have been in his glory evaluating Kalain's performance. Kalain tells us that he had known since yesterday that the thing with Vinci would get him into trouble. But I think what got him into trouble was his complete inability to adapt to the challenge twist. Kalain has to leave the house and Janet has to go to the duel. Maria says I'm sorry but "es tu, muerto, Kalain." And she doesn't even say caput so you know that she's really upset. Enrique tells the camera that Kalain got completely screwed over by his friend and everybody cries when he leaves.

i have to agree with you yenta patrol. berto and jenn are my favorites in the house. they're both really good actors. jenn is cute and has a great personality. berto's really likeable too. is it me, or is roseny really judgmental and annoying? and don't get me started on vinci. he's just there for drama.
oh, and if i'm not mistaken, janet told vinci "you're a moron, not an actor".
