PREVIOUSLY ON TOUGH ENOUGH 2

We saw what happened on last weeks episode of TE2.


TRAX TRAINING

Jessie and Alicia were sparring in the ring with each other. Alicia was whining about her back again (like usual). Al Snow said Jessie was tough on the inside. Jessie told us she was mentally still there but her body was not going along with her mental toughness and was starting to break down.


THE WAY YOU CONDUCT YOURSELF OUT OF THE RING IS IMPORTANT

"Big" John told us that the way the contestants conduct themselves out of the ring is just as important as how they conduct themselves inside the ring. We have footage of Alicia, Hawk, Kenny and Pete aired next. These contestants are acting like this is WWF "Jack-Ass" and not WWF "Tough Enough". Pete drinks to excess (and that is a BAD thing! - Just ask Eddie Guerrero). Kenny got totally wasted and got in to a fight with some one inside a club and the bouncers had to restrain him.

Kenny told the MTV Camera production crew to get the camera's out of his "f'n" face a few times, showing a lack of respect for them.

Pete commented he knew they would hear about this from Bigs and hoped it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. We see Kenny stumbling up the stairs as Pete said this.


BIG JOHN HAS TO PLAY DADDY TO THE LITTLE KIDDIES

John told us there are rules and he has to warn them of the rules and if they violate the rules more then once, that is it. John has had enough.

Jacob got a speeding ticket for driving recklessly and didn't care about it. Actually we saw Jacob bragging about how he had broke the law and got the ticket. John said this was unacceptable. John said Jacob did not take in to consideration he was risking his life and the other contestants lives at the same time.

Alicia would wear headphones while she was driving, even after John had told her not to.

Pete drinks too much and too often and sometimes in between treks to clubs in the cars (which is a violation of the drinking laws in most states and would be DUI).

Kenny showed a lack of respect for the production crew when he was involved in an altercation at a club.

"BIG" John asked for someone to tell him what happened Saturday night. Pete told him what happened and even mentioned they were drinking in the car.

John chastised them for their actions and Al Snow said they needed to be punished for their actions.

Bob Holly said they were all blowing this great chance they had, and the people he was talking about knew who they were.


PUNISHMENT PART I

Bob Holly let them have it in the ring. Bob Holly beat the hell out of them in the ring doing the bump activities. We see Holly taking Kenny down to the ring and pressing his elbow in to Kenny's face. Bob tells Kenny he is not about to let "punks like them" come in here and screw up what he does for a living.

Kenny agreed he deserved the punishment and Bob Holly yelled at him not to screw up again.


PUNISHMENT PART DOS

Those who broke the rules were made to sleep in Trax West instead of back at the house. Pete, Alicia, Kenny and Jacob had no accommodations. They had to sleep on the concrete floor at Trax West on the blue wrestling mats.

Al Snow told them not to get in the ring or use the equipment and he did not want to find out they had.

Pete said he felt they deserved this punishment. Alicia was worried about this being a black mark for them.


BACK AT THE HOUSE

Linda explained to the others at the house what the punishment for the rule violators were. The others were a bit shocked at what the punishment ended up being.


JESSIE PHONES HOME

Jessie called her boyfriend again and told him she was having problems physically. She had no energy left and was constantly out of breath. She said she knew something was wrong with her but did not know what, and she loved it too much to quit.


BACK AT TRAX WEST

Holly and Snow show up fairly early and wake up the contestants. Kenny did not get up right away and Holly scolded him until he did.

We see them training. The other contestants must have arrived during this because we skip to Jessie getting up after a back bump wrong and Chavo Guerrero Jr. asking her why she got up the wrong way since she was not trained to get up the way she did. Jessie told him she was worried about hurting herself or others.

Al Snow told us he thinks Jessie started questioning herself in the competition and she was surviving because of heart but she was not going to make it once the physical demands got tougher.

Alicia was having more back problems again and wasn't performing up to good standards. She has this look of considerable pain on her face every time she bumps.

Linda commented on her condition and constant back pain. Alicia wanted to know if Linda thought there would be a cut and Linda said she did not know.


RULES CHANGE

"Big" John informed us that a competitor can be cut on the spot if a Tough Enough 2 trainer thinks they can not cut-it (which is a change from the 24 hours notice rule the show previously operated with).

Al Snow took Alicia aside and informed her he could not allow her to move forward because of her back. He thought it would be fair on the others because he could not ask her to do the same things the others were being asked to do. Alicia told him she did everything the doctor had told her to do. Snow explained to her he couldn't let her go on.

Alicia told us everything happens for a reason and maybe she was not cut out to be a wrestler after all. She was excited about going back to her normal life. Jackie commented to us that Alicia needed to grow up and maybe this experience had helped her grow up a bit.

Jessie was concerned about her own status because Alicia had been cut.


OPTIMUM FITNESS

Hawk told us morale was low because of Alicia being cut. Raphael told us today he was going to get on everyone if they screwed up because today was technique day. Raphael introduced us to his cohort in crime Renee.

Kenny said today was not going to be a pleasant day. Jessie was worried about keeping up.

Jessie told us towards the end of the day she did not know if she could catch her breath (she has problems).


BACK AT THE HOUSE

Jessie was on the phone talking to "Big" John. Jessie was not happy. She called John to tell him she wanted to quit. John was a bit upset because she called him and he called her back and she did not answer the phone.

She told him she went upstairs and was sorry she did not answer. He told her they would put this off until she got dressed to come to Trax West and talk about it then. This was acceptable to Jessie and she agreed.

Hawk said it came across his mind she was going to quit when she was not dressed and was wearing jeans at breakfast. Jackie and Anni were slow to realize this and asked her why she was not dressed. Jessie told them she was done and was ready to go home. Jackie tried to console her and get her to reconsider but Jessie told her she was not performing up to good standards and she had nothing left to give. Jessie said she was afraid to stay and ashamed she wanted to go home, but did not know which was worse (I hope this doesn't break her).


TRAX WEST

Jessie talked to John about leaving the competition. John told her he was not about to try and talk her out of it because it would not be fair for the competition or the other contestants. Jessie agreed with him. John needed to know if this was it, Jessie said it was. John told her he would talk to the trainers and other contestants and then she could say good bye.

Jessie said her goodbyes to the others and said she would miss Kenny and Pete because they were the funniest. Anni said Jessie made their time in the competition fun and it was sad to see her go.

Jessie said she wants to find a wrestling school and apply what she knows from WWF Tough Enough to the school and take it at a slower pace.


RING PRACTICE

The trainers tell them to get in the ring. It is back to training.


THE COUNTDOWN IS ON

Chris Jericho arrived. Pete said Jericho was one of his all time favorite wrestlers.

Jericho asked them how many started training with them and they told him 13. Jericho told them when he trained in Calgary, Alberta, Canada his class had 18 to start and only two survived the training. Jericho told them those two were himself and Lance Storm.

Kenny was impressed because Jericho was living evidence you did not need to be 7 foot to be the Champion. Kenny was curious why Jericho changed the way he applied the Lion Tamer in the WWF.

Jericho never answered the question but volunteered to put the old school version on Kenny. We see Jericho doing this and they aired Jericho doing the spot to Juventud Guerrera as Jericho applied it to Kenny.

Kenny said he was a Chris Jericho fan from way back. The contestants worked out with each other as Jericho watched on with the trainers.

Pete talked about how he is 5' 9" and how other guys like Tazz and Chris Benoit are 5' 8" and size really does not matter now.

Linda asked Jericho how he kept himself motivated because of his size. He told them years ago wrestling was the era of the BIG man and none of them (referencing the trainers surrounding him in the ring) would have had jobs back then. But now size really does not matter.


REST OF TOUGH ENOUGH 2 OFF - MTV LOVES THIS!

"Big" John gave them the rest of the night off. And Tough Enough 2 met Real World. John reminded them to be responsible.

Pete said he was going to go out and have fun and get chicks. Kenny said he was not a trouble maker and had one bad experience and was punished for it, had paid his dues, and that was that.

We see them all dancing. Pete and Jackie were doing the dirty-dancing bit MTV kills for. Jackie said she had a boyfriend and all she would allow to happen is good-clean flirting (Well, MTV doesn't want that!).

Jackie did say if she was single something would probably happen. Pete was kissing on her neck while they were dancing. He said she put it there and he wasn't not going to kiss it. I guess that is considered flirting.

Pete mentioned it really isn't 'cheating' if the girlfriend is in one city and the boyfriend is in another. I need a copy of the official rule book of dating. Luckily, I have an old one. Let me look up the rules.

Subsection A or paragraph 1 stipulation 1.00 A states it IS 'cheating' if you have relations with another individual, even if you are in two different locations. Sorry PETE, you are incorrect. However; I guess my rule book could be outdated.

Linda wondered out loud if they would get together or if this was just hormones between Pete and Jackie. Jacob thought Kenny was jealous of Pete because Pete had someone to take home with him and Kenny didn't.

We saw Kenny getting frisky with a cute blonde. Kenny mentioned he did not know what was better then two girls, maybe three.

Pete told us he KNEW something was going to happen with Jackie. He told Kenny Jackie told him "I want to f you" point blank. Jackie of course did not see it that way and considered this as just 'flirting'.

Pete wanted to win her over though. Pete, Linda and Kenny went in to the hot tub and Jackie soon followed.

We see clips of next weeks show with Jackie calling home to talk to her mother about making the decision to have a relationship with Pete. Her mother tells her its cool if she wants to throw her life away. I guess next week is more MTV-ISH stuff.


THE FUTURE OF THE COMPETITION

Alicia had to go. I wasn't sad she went. Jessie on the other hand was not so good. I liked her and thought she was a good element to have around. Linda should win now. There is something about Jackie I do not like. But since she has the biggest breasts, I think she will win in the end.

Jacob needs to grow up a lot. Kenny is just blah. Pete could be a good Cruiserweight. Hawk to me has the most potential of all of the people in the competition right now.
