The three would-be contestants have to compete in a challenge, right in front of everyone. When they learn that only two of them will go to campus, they all look stressed. There's a step with a counter, and the potential contestants are aiming to get to 500. The audience members are apparently stepping, too. Sophia is first to reach the halfway point. She looks miserable, but maybe not as miserable as the other two. She reaches 500 first, and makes it to the ranch. Jesse is close behind, and makes it to 500 soon after. He's proud. Poor Aaron is 100 steps behind. But he wants to finish, and the crowd cheers him on. Finally, Aaron hits 500. People are crying all over the place. Aaron feels like he blew another opportunity, which is extremely sad. It seems kind of mean to base contestanthood on a physical challenge, given that it always puts the most unhealthy people at a disadvantage. And yet, Sophia and Jesse get shuffled into a limo and head off to campus. Bob talks to Aaron and gives him kudos for finishing the challenge. But he doesn't invite him onto campus, as I had hoped. Boo, stupid show. I give you the opposite of kudos. To spite you, I am now going to have some delicious homemade macaroni and cheese, with extra cheese! Believe it.
