So, now the chicos are on a mission, they have to send someone to duel with Janet and as a group they are determined to get rid of Vinci. Little Enrique, sounding unusually firm for someone with his shrinkage problems, tells us that Vinci has to go home and he's got to go home tomorrow. The chicos convene to vote and our mystery narrator tells us that not everyone is taking it seriously, while the editors show us a clip of Vinci cracking up. It just amazes me that this idiot ever made it to manhood. I mean wasn't there a kid out there smart enough to beat the crap out of Vinci, while they were still young enough to avoid being prosecuted as an adult?

It's like he just cries out to be smacked

Carlos shows up and reiterates that Janet is going to the duel and Jenn has immunity. Once again we're told that the chapel is a "sacred place where the fates of the players are decided and dark secrets are revealed." Everybody votes for Vinci and Vinci, thinking that this is still part of last week's episode, votes for Geovannie.

Carlos counts the votes and the overwhelming choice is Vinci. Vinci tells us that it's all part of his master strategy. Because, like a villain from one of the Star Wars episodes, he feeds off hate and it makes him stronger. Enrique and Geovannie join forces and write out a list of points for Janet to hit on during the duel. I have to say that if I was preparing for a duel of this nature, the two people I'd want to help me would be my gay best friends from my college years. Those guys were fabulous diva bitches that could slice people up, like duck being carved with titanium blades. Next to them, Enrique and Geovannie feel a little bit like sporks. But, they seem to be the best that the house has to offer. As a final point, Geovannie impresses on Janet that Vinci calls himself a model not an actor. Then Uncle Walty intones, "Be brave my friends."

The contestants have gathered on the balcony, when Maria comes out in a gorgeous full-length green pattern dress that I could so totally wear. Sigh!! She sits down between Carlos and Anjelica Vale. Apparently, Scott Grossman had to march himself off to another fabulous pageant somewhere in the valley. Maria calls Janet then Vinci to come forward to plead their case. Janet is wearing a cute blue dress that, unfortunately, is covered in sparkles and Vinci is sporting a black leather blazer, not a look I go for. But, for the first time, I can vaguely see how he might be considered attractive, if he wasn't such a complete arrogant asshat.

Then, the duelists get hit with a twist. Instead of just telling the judges why they should be the ones to stay, Maria Conchita is going to ask some direct questions. She starts with Vinci by asking flat out, "Why are you so arrogant?" Vinci gives a dramatic 'struggling immigrant' speech, "When I first came to this country, I came with nothing, no money, no family. I didn't speak the language. I didn't even know I could become a model." Too bad he missed out on the whole Ellis Island experience that my relatives went through. It could have really added to his story line. He finishes off with, "Arrogance is my pride. It's the fire inside me."

Millions of people want to see my privates, but I've only wanted to show them to you

Maria Conchita asks Janet, "What would you do differently if you could do it again?" And Janet points out that she's grown and changed and, even though this is her second time in front of the judges, she's improving. Then the contestants turn to face each other and tell each other why they should go home. Vinci tells Janet that she's not ready because she needs to study more, especially her English. But in his own words he says somewhat ironically, "Practice more your English. You're in the United States of America."
