Anthony starts to talk again, and Melissa yells that he has no idea what happened, and that he acts like a righteous man. Anthony self-righteously replies, "I am a righteous man." Melissa gets disgusted and calls him a joke. Darin tries to intervene and calm her down. Do you think Justin was peeing his pants while this was going on? Anthony keeps talking. Melissa sits back down, and Darin stands in front of her to try to focus her attention on him and off Anthony. Finally, Justin asserts himself as host and says that Darin has something to say. Darin stands and says that if Anthony knows and respects him, he should respect that Darin has feelings for Melissa, and back off. Tony gets up and walks away, and I'm not really sure what that was all about, but the camera made a point of showing it. Darin talks about his friendship with Melissa, and Anthony's all, "'Friendship'?" like Darin ever called it anything different. Anthony says, "My brother, your friendship?" Darin tells Anthony not to call him "brother" anymore. Go, Darin! Melissa stands up and tells everyone that she doesn't want any of their votes, and doesn't want to win. Darin keeps trying to get her to shut up, but she won't. Toni cackles in the back row.
Justin finally regains control of the proceedings. Everyone looks completely exhausted and like they might just dive off the side of the ship. Did Tony ever come back? Who knows? Justin asks the finalists to go to their cabins so that the judges can vote.
Jeanette and Melissa lie on a bed in one of the cabins. Jeanette tries to reassure Melissa that everything is going to be all right, and that she did what she had to do. Melissa says that she doesn't have any family, and her boyfriend is all that she has. When her dad died, she lost everything, and she had to spend Christmas by herself. Melissa asks Jeanette if she knows what it's like to be Daddy's little girl and have him die in your arms. Jeanette affirms that Melissa has become a stronger and better person because of all this. Okay, what the hell was that? Where did all the dead father talk come from? That was just weird. And kind of a downer.
In their cabin, Adrian and Gina discuss their chances at victory. Gina says again that there is a huge possibility that they will win. As soon as Gina said that twice, I thought that there was no way in hell that she would win. And I was glad. Gina points out that the judges have nothing against them, and everything against the others.
