Then there's a montage of context-free emotional displays in the DR, starting with GinaMarie, Andy, Judd, Elissa asking about the process for getting eliminated, McCrae hiding behind his hair, more Judd, more GinaMarie, Kaitlin, Amanda, Andy, Elissa crying that nobody's ever liked her, Helen, Jessie, GinaMarie again, McCrae, Helen, Candice, Jessie, GinaMarie, Candice, Elissa, Jessie, Candice, Aaryn, Jessie, Candice, and GinaMarie, with David closing it all out by saying, "Dude, this is freaking lame." Yes, it was.

So let's wrap up this clip show with another thrilling moment we never saw. Andy tells GinaMarie and Spencer that he was trying to catch a moth in the back yard and fell into the pool. And then we see a clip of Andy trying to catch a moth in the back yard and falling into the pool. Thanks for the spoiler, Andy. Then they all do their Exterminator miming one last time. Let's hope it's the last time, at least.

And now they have to compete against each other. The first part of the final, three-part HoH competition finds the back yard decorated like a 1970s disco roller rink, complete with neon, mirror ball, and DJ mannequin. Andy reads the instructions: just hang on the longest to the ski ropes that'll be circling overhead. They lace up their skates and go out onto the floor to grab hold onto the rope handles. The rotation is pretty slow, at least to start with, but they have three lines of cones in their way to contend with as well. All three of them DR about how they want to win, and we leave them at it before anything is determined. Wow, that was a close one, but it's official: we got all the way to the end of the episode with almost literally nothing happening.
