The best hooker this week, though, I'm guessin' is Blessin', because he is blind and we can get it out of the way... But no! It is Sonyae! I don't understand this game show at all. I thought she sounded like she was having a stroke, but apparently that was what they were looking for.

Jewel congrajewelates the hookers and sends them to their hotel. My question about Jewel's speaking voice was always "Does she have three of them" because if you've ever heard her sing, she's got like three entirely different voices: A little baby, an old gay man, and Pee-Wee Herman. And it turns out that in regular talking, all of them get a chance to shine too. She's kind of amazing.

Johnny: "We're going to have insane house parties here, bros."

I THINK HE'S KIDDING

Next day, it's time for the studio. Everybody geeks out about the equipment and instruments, and then Brian talks about how he is the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. Like it's not a metaphor. He died the same week that Brian was born, and sometimes there's an eerie resemblance -- Do you see it? I don't see it -- and so probably what happened, we're meant to infer, is that Elvis died and then came back in Brian's body and that's why he's so good at music.

I DON'T THINK HE'S KIDDING

So Jewel shows up in her sparkliest child outfit, and tells them the second part of the rules, which is that for the songwriting part of this songwriting competition, they have to write in teams. Nevin loves it, because he is a leader of men and loves to give direction; Brian loves it because I don't know why, I think maybe he's just kissing ass. Scotty makes a hilarious face about how uncool he finds this concept and whines at us about it.

Being a Great Hooker -- Sonyae, Nick, Jackie and Scotty -- means your hook is the seed of the song and the hooker also gets to pick their songwriting team. Up against the wall, so the hookers can see you. (This part takes Johnny back to when he was fat.)

Sonyae, since her only skill is screaming and being the best hooker, decides she would like somebody with a musical skill of some kind, so she picks Blessing, even though everybody but her plays instruments.

Nick picks Jes, because quote "she'll be easy to write with." (Case: Rested.)

Scotty picks Brian, I guess because he's one of the better performers, and Brian seems really surprised by this.
