"So who's left in?" Elyse continues on, answering her own question in the strange parlance of responding like she's in a scene in the second act of Guys & Dolls, "The holiest holy-rollers and the bottom of the barrel." Since the elimination of good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit, that is! In a confessional, Robin agrees that things haven't been the same since "Miss Kesse" left, although we can assume that Robin's use of "title" and then "first name" indicates that her relationship to Kesse was quite a bit different than anyone else's. That being, Kesse was, apparently, her nursery-school teacher. We flash back to last week's elimination, while Robin voices over, "I physically could not stand up. I remember leaning on the wall." Yeah, take that, Elyse. You may have experienced the physiological response of firing neurons that led to the scientifically-explicable emotional state of "sadness" at Kesse's departures, but only a good, honest Christian like Robin would be able to reach deeply enough into herself and pull out a full-on case of the biblical vapors. Explain that away, you heartless scientician. Shannon agrees that "a little piece of [her] went away" when Kesse got the boot, because Robin told her to say it because God told Robin to tell Shannon what to do and that was the way it was and we liked it.
Back downstairs (?) at the Algonquin Square Card Table, Adrianne waxes philosophical -- which is seriously the last thing any aspiring model should bother waxing -- "I believe in a higher power. I don't believe that higher power asks you to sacrifice your every damn moment for him." She continues on in a confessional that she does believe in God, adding, "I'm just not psychotic about it." Back at the table, Adrianne continues to sport French high fashion by wearing her signature version of the white Hermes scarf, decked out in her camouflage headband and -- holy living mother of Tyra, what happened to Adrianne's head? Oh, there it is -- and complains that Robin rolls her eyes when Adrianne prays. But, honestly, if I'm God (just go with me for a second), I'd probably hear that voice lift up to the heavens and before I even heard the words it was saying, I'd be all, "I'll bet this is another one praying for better corn dogs at Wrigley and for Ditka to run for President. Got it." I'm just saying that, as God, I'm rolling my eyes too, a little. Elyse responds that she feels as if "half the house is under control of Robin, and our half is under the control of the devil." The devil goes by many names, Elyse. And "Robin" is one of them. And, apparently, "devil" is another. "Things would have definitely sucked if my closest ally in the house had been eliminated," Elyse confessionalizes. "I'm really, really glad that Adrianne stayed on." One final shot of The Brigadoon Lunchroom finds Elyse and Adrianne high-fiving and Adrianne announcing, "Boo-yah!" I do believe that the higher power would probably ask her not to do that.
