IN ICELAND

Big John said they decided on Iceland for the trip this year because it oozes toughness.

Jamie was down on Eric for doing what he did to the girl. She told him he was a pig for doing it. The others defended him and quickly pointed out Jamie can dish it out but can not take it. Jamie has this thing she does where she belches and then says "I'm going to be a diva" and thinks its is cute (or funny or both). We got treated to watching this happen for a few moments.


THE TALK

Big John huddled all the males together and told them Jamie was the last female and it was their job to make sure he was okay and to take care of her. Jonah didn't take to much to this as he felt everyone should be treated the same since it is a competition. We see them all working in a ring outside. One of the beams broke on the ring.


PUTTING UP THE RING

The students at this point had to fix the ring themselves and get back to training once it was fixed. We see them fixing the ring. While they were fixing the ring a TV crew showed up to interview the contestants.


JONAH'S FIRST MISTAKE

Jonah was acting like a complete dumbass doing an interview with the reporter. He seemed to be doing it in character (even though he does not even have a character yet). Bill DeMott was not pleased with the behavior of Jonah and pointed out if Vince had been asking him the same questions, he would NOT have acted the way he did. DeMott said Jonah had embarrassed him and made fun of what his life is.


RIBS ANYONE

Al promised he would get even with Jonah at some point for the rib Jonah did on everyone else. They had a discussion about ribs. Then they went out to dinner. They went to a lobster house and had lobster (figure that one out). Jamie was a diva again, quite a bit during dinner.

John talked to Jamie about how she had to come to him if she felt uncomfortable at any point since she was the last girl. John pointed out this was the first time ever on Tough Enough there was only one female left going in to the stretch run.


BACK AT THE HOTEL (THE MOLE)

Matt was working with Al behind Jonah's back. Matt and Jonah were rooming together. Jonah set up booby traps all around the room so Al couldn't possibly get in to the room with out waking him or Matt up. When Jonah was fast asleep, Matt snuck out and went to Snows room and got a autographed photo of Snow and put it on Jonah's side of the room (to signify that Snow had got in to the room while they were both asleep).

The next morning Jonah found the photo and was shocked. Jonah finally admitted Al had gotten him. Al was all smiles, knowing that he had pulled off the rib and Jonah had no idea how he did it.


VIKING SAILING TRIP

The contestants went on a viking-ship and had to row the ship. The ship didn't move very far because they were rowing incorrectly. Al was making fun of them the entire time (dressed up as a Viking). It was quite hilarious. Next they went to a viking restaurant. They had to eat shark, which according to the legend was pissed on by people to give it flavor. Needless to say everyone found this gross, but they had to eat it. Jonah at one point was accused to hiding his food in his pockets.


JONAH'S SECOND MISTAKE

Jonah said he didn't hide his food in his pockets and he would get naked to prove it. Bill DeMott decided to call Jonah on this and told him to get naked. Jonah started to undress and stopped. Al & DeMott told him he said naked. Jonah got naked in the restaurant in front of everyone and proved he didn't hide his food in his pocket.


STRIKE THREE (IS HE OUT?)

Next the group went to talk around a fire on a beach. DeMott was telling them about respect in the business and respect for the business. Matt told us that Jonah had totally missed the entire point of the conversation Bill was having with them. Jonah basically thought it was just part of the "competition" and it was all just 'bullshit' (which is what he told DeMott when DeMott asked him what the point of it was. I think Jonah said something to the effect of, "I have to put up with all of this bullshit to win" - thinking that was the point, when that was not the point at all). John pointed out that was not the point at all. Bill was upset and told Jonah this wasn't "bullshit" at all, "this was his life". DeMott left the fire and went to a second fire and stood alone offended at what Jonah had said to him.


LETS MAKE UP

Jonah approached DeMott with a beer in hand (good way to make up for a mistake in most circles) and tried to apologize to Bill. Bill told Jonah point blank that anything he tells him is not "bullshit" it is important. DeMott told him that a lot of people get left behind in this business, not because they are not good people, but because that is this business. And Jonah has to decide in three weeks if he is going to go with DeMott or not and he has to figure out a way to show him he is ready if he does want to go with him.


THE NEXT DAY

They had a strongman competition with the contestants. Eric did real well in this competition and Jamie came in second, surprisingly. All of the other contestants were impressed with how well Jamie did.

Jonah said Jamie earned all their respect by doing as well as she did.


AND THE LAST DAY IN ICELAND

We see them training in the ring. There was a large group of kids watching them train. Al told Jonah & John to work a match for the kids. Jonah really connected with the kids working the match and said he really liked it. Jonah said it put it all together working in front of an audience. The match was okay. Jonah went over in the match. The kids seemed to enjoy it (which was all that really mattered).

They went back to the hotel and Jonah and Matt planned to rib Al. They were going to toss a pair of Jonah's smelly boots on Al's bed and run.

They went to his room and opened the door, but Al was waiting for them on the other side. Both saw him and freaked out and ran back to their rooms. Al came out of the room all smiles again. Al told us he plans on getting all of them (ribs for them all) back in L.A.

The last shots were of the group cliff diving. DeMott told them he would not do this for anyone else and he did it for them. And that was that. It left off with them all getting really close.


THOUGHTS

Good show. I think Jonah might be done. We will have to wait and see. Matt & John are my favorites. I hope they get the deals.
