Joe Schmo 2, Episode 6: For Whom Does the Bell Toll?

We open this week with the gang out on the patio dressed in exercise gear - red for the gals and blue for the guys. Of course, the talk is all about Ingrid's eviction and the tragic mistake that occurred. Doot doot do doot - the sound of the trumpets herald Derek's arrival with some startling news. Ingrid is being brought back into the game because it turns out her grandfather really did die. Derek tells her he is glad that he died and that she wasn't lying. Small comfort indeed!

As the group digests all of this, the sound of a plane is heard above and yes, once again the plane is pulling a banner, this one reading "Did You Get My First Banner?" Bryce strikes again, and as the group stupidly nods "yes," someone suggests that they lie on the ground and spell out "yes" with their bodies! Tim suggests another combination of letters. Still no sign of Bryce in the flesh, however.

Derek describes the first event of the day. They are to produce an infomercial about a product called the "Pumper-sizer Thigh and Bun Buster." Gerald clues us in that this is an attempt to bust on product placement on TV shows. This device is a combination of resistance bands that go on the feet and a bar that is supposed to rest on one's shoulders. The object is to rise up and down, using this contraption to firm abs and thighs. But no one has much luck with it and the bands keep springing off. The entire exercise is rather a waste and doesn't really go anywhere, despite Derek's urging them all to "oil up."

Exercise time is apparently over and the group is gathered once again for another "Falcon Twist." "This glove on my hand… the stink of raw meat in the air… it can only mean one thing." Cawwwwww - enter Montecore with a note that reveals another little secret. Alas, our lovely bachelorette Piper and chiseled featured bachelor Austin were a couple themselves up until six months ago. Everything was fine but the relationship "went from an episode of The Love Boat to a screening of Titanic." Who knew? No one seems terribly shocked by this; in fact, Tim thinks it's "awesome." Austin tells us in an aside that he actually feels as though he and Piper are a couple after having worked together all these weeks.

We move back inside where Cammy is tending Everett, Bryce's frog. Since Bryce's eviction, she has been taking care of this amphibious creature but something seems to be terribly wrong. Concerned that he isn't eating, Cammy gives him her donut. Okay. In an effort to save the frog from being murdered by this dingbat, the producers take the frog to live with Montecore.

It's game time once again on "Last Chance for Love" and this event is called "Hello Dolly." Two full-sized blow-up dolls - cleverly named Piper and Austin - are reclining on the sofa. Each contestant must convincingly seduce the appropriate doll, the winners being rewarded with a date with Austin and Piper. This game drags on with Gerald playing nice and Eleanor behaving as though she were very nervous. Tim comments that she could not possibly be acting! See how much you know buddy! Cammy attempts to set up a three-way between her and the dolls but for some reason is unable to move the female doll around her to join in the fun. She turns her attention to the male doll, unzipping his pants and cooing at him.

The game is over and Piper selects Tim as the winner, calling him a "true gentleman." Saying that he is choosing the woman he has not spent any alone time with, Austin selects Amanda. Of course, Eleanor goes ballistic. Her hysteria builds and, when she pulls out the "coupon book of love" that she presented to Austin early on, she discovers that the first coupon is missing. Cammy admits that she used the massage coupon on her date with Austin and Eleanor completely unravels, ripping coupons out of the book and throwing them into the fire. Austin plays dumb, as he does so well, claiming that he thought the coupons could be used with anyone. Amanda can't take it anymore and excuses herself from the fracas. She feels so badly about all of this. Tim is also a good guy and tries to console Eleanor while Ingrid goes off the talk to Amanda.
