00:01Previously on Tough Enough,
00:03the contestants got a humbling lesson in teamwork.
00:06That's teamwork right there.
00:09Come on, Eagle East!
00:11In the ring, an injury sparked animosity.
00:13You okay? Medic!
00:16Miss Dina, you know you'll that up, don't you?
00:19Ryan's theatrics continued to rattle the trainers.
00:22If you ever wanna test me, all you gotta do is see it.
00:26While Martin's winning streak went unchallenged,
00:29what was that, two or three in a row?
00:31Three in a row, sir.
00:33Causing a loop to hit rock bottom.
00:35Are you arrogant or are you just an asshole?
00:37I'd say neither.
00:38Sit there with that gel in your hair and your flipped-up collar.
00:41Shut up.
00:43Christina lacked commitment.
00:45I question if you really wanna be here.
00:47But in the end, you've been in my bottom three.
00:50Three times, you just struck out.
00:53Ryan was sent packing.
00:55Only eight contestants remain.
00:58Who will be tough enough.
01:08They let me come say bye to you.
01:10Really?
01:12I knew tonight was probably more of a mental test from the trainers in Stone Cold.
01:18In a way, Stone Cold almost poured more gasoline on the fire.
01:22All right.
01:23More gasoline on the fire?
01:24Good.
01:25You know, let it burn.
01:26You insecure.
01:27Yeah.
01:32Hello.
01:33Hi.
01:34Hi.
01:35Hello.
01:36Tonight, Christina came from Elimination.
01:38I kind of expected that to happen.
01:40But from what I wanted to happen, well, it obviously didn't happen.
01:44But I just gotta deal with it.
01:46I mean, now there's a free room.
01:48Bye.
01:49What?
01:50Is it bye?
01:51You can sleep in there if you want.
01:52It's such a passive-aggressive, hostile environment between Evie and myself.
01:55We still hate each other.
01:56Of course, she wants to be the last girl standing.
01:57Like, who wouldn't?
01:58My approach with Evie from now on is just to call her on or .
02:13Some people have to learn.
02:16Some people waited time.
02:19They want to hold you back, tell them pee off.
02:24you back, tell them pee off. Whenever they say you can't take the tea off. I remember when they told me I wouldn't be famous. Now my dream and reality is simultaneous. I'm always pushing myself to the limit, making sure I stay your head. You made me who I am from the words you say. Some people have to fight. Some people give their lives. Some people don't believe. But I'm a body champion.
02:54Today, we're about to earn our money. Start them off, Martin. Squats. Ready. Down. Down. Two. Three. Four. One. Two. Three. Four. Eight. Seven. Four.
03:24Four. Set. Go. Set. Go. Set. Go. Set. Go. Set. Go.
03:36WWE Tough Enough started with 14. Eight are left. We still haven't separated the top from the bottom. There's still that blood clot in the middle.
03:46I'm here to be the blood center. Hold it. Look at it. He's done. You want to sit down, don't you? You want to sit down, don't you? The training has gotten a lot harder from the first week we're here to now. It's multiplied by, you know, a thousand.
04:01You want to take a breather, don't you? Tell the truth. Don't lie to me, don't you? Take a seat.
04:06Eric totally came into the competition unprepared. And I always say that is your worst enemy in this business. The only luck that you're ever going to have in this business is how well you prepare.
04:18Wow. Yes. Christina, let me hear you. Let me hear you.
04:23Oh, I did it. Yes, let me hear you.
04:25Keep moving. You take a break, Martin. You can go home.
04:29Come on. He ain't going to wait on you. How pathetic is that?
04:35Go. Nobody said stop in between. Go. Go. Go. You can't leapfrog together. You can't cross body together. You can't roll together. What can you two do together?
04:50What we're trying to make these kids understand, it doesn't get any easier. Every day it gets harder. Starting now, we're going to find out who is really here for the rest.
04:58Who is really here for the right reason?
05:09The theme of the week this week is all about focus. You step in this ring, you are focused on executing, taking care of the person you're in the ring with, taking care of yourself.
05:21When I walk into an arena, I can be having the worst day of my life. But you know what? When I get dressed up and that glass breaks and I go through those curtains, I'm focused on entertaining that crowd.
05:33That means I got to read those people. I got to listen to them. I got to watch them. I got to take them on a ride.
05:38And if I'm worried about divorce number two or divorce number three, them people are sitting on their ass wondering why they shelled out 50 bucks to watch Stone Cold stink the joint out.
05:48So during the good times and during the bad times, you got to stay focused.
05:52Christina, are you focused today? You're going to need to be, all right?
05:55Being in the bottom three last week, I definitely feel like it was a wake-up call.
06:00I'm going to have to apply everything that I've learned from this point on and just not take any baby steps, not take any shortcuts.
06:06And then hopefully I'll be the last girl standing.
06:08Hey, you! Slam Jeremiah!
06:10That's my dog right there, y'all.
06:14One, you're going to kill him before the end of the day.
06:16What the hell is going on there?
06:18Two, you're going to kill him before the end of the day.
06:21What the hell is that?
06:23Run!
06:27When I hit, I definitely felt it. You know, I almost felt like something maybe cracked.
06:31I don't know. It just, it did not feel good at all.
06:34Jeremiah was gassed. Didn't quit. When he was done, he's spitting up blood.
06:41Jeremiah is a competitor. He's not going down without a fight.
06:45Use your legs on that bag, big guy. Come on, tumbleweed.
06:50AJ, that's the wrong way. You got it upside down. Reset. Reset.
06:56Come on, tumble.
06:58AJ is an interesting one for me.
07:00One.
07:02I feel like he's been in a holding pattern.
07:04Come on, tumbleweed.
07:06Hooray for me to hell with everybody else, right?
07:09Exactly.
07:10He's Mr. Nice Guy, and he kind of just goes around. No one really notices him.
07:15Put your hands over your heads.
07:17There's just no room for mediocrity in this business.
07:19So if that's all AJ's got to give, then that's going to catch up with him real soon.
07:23Get out of my rig.
07:25Coming up, Jeremiah catches heat from the trainers.
07:32Hey, man, if you're scared, we can let Luke or Martin go first.
07:37And later...
07:38Fight for it.
07:39The injured Ivelisse is hanging by a thread.
07:42Oh!
07:46Come on in, Jeremiah.
07:48You slam that bag right in the middle of the ring right here.
07:51And you come up, and you get on that second rope.
07:54You're going to count your blessings, and you're going to land that elbow on that bag.
07:59Hey, man, if you're scared, we can let Luke or Martin go first.
08:02I'd rather go top rope.
08:05You want to bypass the second rope altogether?
08:08He got some gumption.
08:09I got a pretty big set of balls.
08:11I'm sure a lot of people have seen them in this competition.
08:14I'm pretty known for, you know, splashing them around, I guess you could say.
08:19I like your attitude.
08:20He's thinking like a number one guy.
08:22I mean, you just can't be scared.
08:24Nut up or shut up.
08:32Keep going.
08:33Jeremiah just has that go for it attitude, but with no experience, no background to fall on.
08:38Right now, he's about halfway dangerous in that ring.
08:43Ow.
08:44What did we learn from that, top dog?
08:46Too much air.
08:47You definitely got too much air.
08:49It's a whole lot different, isn't it?
08:51Not bad.
08:53Hey, yo, not bad.
08:54Come on.
08:55Good placement.
08:58A baseball slide.
08:59Yeah.
09:00Chicken.
09:01Oop.
09:02How you doing, man?
09:03Smart.
09:04Smart.
09:05That looked good, Martin.
09:07Smart.
09:15The bag just himself.
09:16Pauls, we need a new bag.
09:22Yeah, you got it.
09:23Come on.
09:24Come on.
09:25Come on.
09:26Come on.
09:27Use your legs.
09:28Use your legs.
09:29That was it.
09:30That was the last one.
09:31That was the last one.
09:32Knowing that Christina injured me in the ring and I have to work two times harder just
09:41to even keep my position in the competition.
09:43It just got me so pissed off.
09:45You got it.
09:46Big slam.
09:47Bam.
09:48Nice.
09:49Good job.
09:50Can you do this?
09:51Are you ready for this?
09:55Not bad.
09:57You all right?
10:01I'm not sure how bad the injury is, but I do think she's using it as a crutch.
10:06She lets you know that there's something wrong with her.
10:10In our business, we suck it up.
10:12We go forward.
10:13Even if we are hurting, we're not going to tell you about it.
10:16Christina!
10:17Come on.
10:18Get it up there.
10:19Get it up there.
10:21Come on.
10:22Take that back.
10:23You got it, honey.
10:24You got it.
10:25Take that back.
10:26Here we go.
10:29Yes.
10:30Nice job.
10:31Yes.
10:34Right away, Christina.
10:35Come on.
10:36That's it, girl.
10:37As soon as we started doing in-ring stuff, I became really excited.
10:41And, like, it just kind of revived me.
10:43Bice up.
10:44Yeah.
10:47Christina.
10:48She's got that ballerina thing going on, which comes into play.
10:51You got to have grace.
10:52You got to have showmanship.
10:54You got to have charisma.
10:55And she has all of it.
10:57Come on.
10:58Get it, mama.
10:59Yes.
11:00Good job.
11:01Nice.
11:02Good job.
11:03Yeah.
11:06That's the day.
11:08You need to bring that every day.
11:10Let's go.
11:11Go get ready.
11:12Great day of training.
11:14Everyone was actually excited.
11:16Yeah, good job.
11:17But wait a minute.
11:19There's eight competitors, and I see seven heads.
11:24Are you me?
11:26We got to go talk to Amy.
11:28She ready to quit?
11:29I bet.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Let's go see what's up.
11:36Think about this before you say it.
11:37Don't just say it.
11:38No.
11:39I will never quit.
11:41But my leg is killing me, killing me, killing me.
11:44Every time that I push through, I feel like it keeps tearing and tearing and tearing.
11:49The more I pull it and the more I aggravate it, the less I'm able to perform.
11:54The situation you're in is not a great situation.
11:57It's going to be up to you to make a decision as far as how far you really want to go in this competition and how much pain that you're willing to endure.
12:07Yeah, I mean, that's why I keep pushing through it and I keep going and going.
12:11Happens.
12:12You move on.
12:13You look at a guy like Triple H, who tore his squad right off the bone in a match and finished it.
12:19That right there is what we do.
12:20And if you can't accept that, you know, you got a question to ask yourself.
12:24You ain't no quitter or else you wouldn't have brought us in here.
12:27You would have left.
12:28Somewhere down the line, you owe me a beer for this conversation.
12:32All right?
12:36Coming up...
12:39John Morrison helps the contestants through a treacherous ropes course.
12:43Fight for it.
12:44That leaves Eric high and dry.
12:48Oh!
12:54All right, good morning, everybody.
13:03Good morning.
13:04Good morning.
13:05Today we're here at Rock City ropes course.
13:06And as you all know, this week we've been talking about focus.
13:09Now with me here today, WWE superstar, John Morrison.
13:13Oh, my God.
13:17The shaman of sexy, John Morrison, is one of the most exciting superstars on the WWE roster.
13:23There is no one better to show the contestants the importance of focus.
13:34Focus is the word of the day.
13:35Think about you and what you're doing right there in the moment.
13:38It applies to this ropes course.
13:40It applies to what we do in the WWE.
13:43I know that what you're going through is tough.
13:45It's hard work, but the work pays off.
13:48Well, with that being said,
13:49on this ropes course, you're going to test your focus by using strength and balance to maneuver from the bottom to the top.
13:56Then at the zip line to come down.
13:59Get to it.
14:00In this rope course, you need to stay focused on the task at hand before you complete the next task.
14:06It's going to test their durability, their endurance, but most importantly, their focus.
14:11All right, here we go.
14:17Come on, Martin.
14:18Get the stepping.
14:19On the ropes, you're up there really high.
14:22Really, it's a balance act.
14:24This looks a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be.
14:28I guarantee you before we leave, somebody's going to fall.
14:30All right, let's go.
14:31Come on, AJ.
14:32Hurry up, Martin.
14:34You ain't got all day.
14:35Catch him in me.
14:36Oh!
14:37Ah!
14:38Ah!
14:52Oh, that looks good.
14:54Whoo hoo hoo!
14:55Ah!
14:56Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
15:03Look at Evie over here.
15:08In my six and a half years of wrestling,
15:10I have never let anything or an injury stop me from performing.
15:15I go do my job, and when I walk back, I'm limping from pain.
15:18And I've done that numerous times.
15:21I just push through it.
15:23Come on, Evie!
15:26This course is kicking Evie's ass.
15:34I'm gonna go climb up to that beam right now.
15:37Let's go, Evie. You got this.
15:39I climbed up on the course because I noticed
15:41Evie was having a little bit of a problem,
15:44so I, you know, I tried to be encouraging.
15:47There you go. Fight for it.
15:52Hang in there, Evie. Hang in there.
15:54Grab her hand. Pull her over.
15:56Oh!
15:57Oh!
16:03How's your leg?
16:04Put your right on the platform.
16:07Okay.
16:09You got this?
16:11All right.
16:12I definitely appreciate having John Morrison at my corner and encouraging me.
16:20For focus, Evie.
16:21There were a lot of times that I felt pain.
16:24One last step.
16:25You got this.
16:26I mean, I was tearing up, but something told me to keep going.
16:32And I went out there and I kept going, pushing through that pain.
16:40All right, gang, you ready?
16:42Yes, sir.
16:43Let's grab them up. Let's get them going.
16:45Let's go.
16:45I'm afraid of heights, A. And B. It's, I mean, that's a whole different ball game, being up there.
16:57You know, so focus is a tremendous part of this.
17:00All right, let's do it.
17:00Let's do it.
17:01Whoa.
17:02Come on, baby.
17:03That way, Andy.
17:04Keep moving.
17:05Come on, Luke.
17:07I thought you were going to catch Big Andy over there.
17:09Help!
17:10Big step.
17:11Grab a hook.
17:12I am anxious.
17:13I am pretty nervous about today.
17:14I'm a little afraid of heights, so I've got to find a way to work around it.
17:19And away, Eric.
17:21Oh!
17:22Come on, Eric.
17:23Let's go, Eric.
17:24Whatever works.
17:25Let's go, Christina.
17:26Pass him up.
17:27He's...
17:28Oh, yeah.
17:29Come on, Eric.
17:30Come on, Eric.
17:31Let's go, Eric.
17:32Whatever works.
17:34Let's go, Christina.
17:35Pass him up.
17:36He's...
17:37He's...
17:38He's...
17:39He's...
17:41Stay there.
17:43Coming through!
17:45Coming through!
17:47Stop bouncing, Eric!
17:49Christina walked right over Eric, and, uh,
17:51if that's not kind of a perfect metaphor
17:53for Eric's whole time here, then I don't know what is.
17:55You know, we're trying to be supportive here,
17:57but, you know, let's bring the horse behind the barn
17:59and pull the trigger, man.
18:01Oh, my God!
18:03That was incredible!
18:09Man, this kid does some good in the ring.
18:11He has flashes of being
18:13really good and showing a lot of potential.
18:17And then he's in the bed.
18:25It was frustrating. I could feel my arms
18:27not working at all at that point.
18:32I just want to get to that damn zip line.
18:34Eric! You want me to send somebody out?
18:39Oh, my God.
18:57Well, Eric's been up there for a long time.
18:59Everybody really made it through this course
19:01of relative ease, and it has been a total
19:03disaster for Eric.
19:05Eric, I'm gonna call it.
19:07You're in a bad spot right here.
19:09For your own safety, I'm gonna send up help.
19:15Good job, Eric.
19:17Being lowered was probably the most embarrassing,
19:21uh, just crushing moment of my life.
19:23I'm just really disappointed and sad
19:25that I couldn't finish.
19:27Tough day at the office, brother.
19:29You didn't quit.
19:31I just called it because, man,
19:33you was having a hard time up there.
19:37I-I-I didn't want to stop.
19:39Any words of wisdom for these cats
19:41as they head into another elimination?
19:43Worrying about stuff like elimination,
19:45like what's happening next.
19:47Don't worry about things that you can't control.
19:49Just do your best at whatever you get dealt.
19:51Get a good night's sleep, folks.
19:53We got a skill challenge tomorrow.
19:55We got an elimination tomorrow.
19:57Somebody's going home.
19:58So, uh, save up some energy
20:00and be ready to perform.
20:02Tomorrow's a skill challenge,
20:04and I need to go in with do-or-die mentality,
20:06because for me it is do-or-die.
20:21All this week we've been talking about focus.
20:31About focusing on the task at hand
20:34and what you have to do.
20:35Skill challenge today,
20:37and I quote,
20:38copper squat.
20:40The old copper squat routine,
20:42so, Bill, break it down for them.
20:44Get to the rope, top rope,
20:46the way you were taught.
20:47Two moves.
20:48Everybody will go up at the same time.
20:50You'll squat 15 times,
20:52and you'll hold the pose
20:53until you can't hold the pose any longer.
20:56First one to drop,
20:57second one to drop.
20:59You're out.
21:00The other two move on.
21:01Group one is gonna be Andy,
21:03Ivelisse,
21:04Jeremiah,
21:05Mark.
21:06Pick a corner.
21:08Set,
21:09go!
21:17Hands over your head.
21:18You're gonna make this easy elimination.
21:20Hands behind your head.
21:21One.
21:22Hands behind your head.
21:25Two.
21:26Three.
21:27Four.
21:28You're two behind, Andy.
21:31Having to stand up and squat,
21:33I definitely wasn't comfortable,
21:34but at the same time,
21:35you look at guys like Kane and The Undertaker,
21:37and they go up there all the time.
21:38So it's one of those things you just have to work at.
21:41Thirteen.
21:45You're out.
21:46Fourteen.
21:49Fifteen.
21:50What Andy showed me this week is just a little bit of spark,
21:53a little bit of fire.
21:54He's got a quiet demeanor.
21:56If he can get a fire lit under his ass,
21:58he can still be a player in this game.
22:00I was pissed, you know?
22:02I was fired up.
22:03I expect a lot better of myself, you know?
22:05And it's just...
22:06I'm passionate about this.
22:07You know, I don't care.
22:08Who knows?
22:09Hold the pose.
22:10Squat position.
22:12Lower down.
22:13Lower.
22:14Lower down, Evie.
22:16MMA lower.
22:17Martin lower.
22:19Right there.
22:20Thighs are parallel with the ground.
22:22Lower, Martin.
22:31Right there.
22:34Up, lower.
22:38Higher.
22:39Right there.
22:41You touched me, you're out.
22:42All right.
22:45You two.
22:46Over there.
22:47That's my dog.
22:49That's my dog right there.
22:50Next four.
22:51I've eluded the bottom three so far,
22:55but I haven't been top dog yet.
22:57At this point in the competition,
22:58there's no room for mediocrity.
23:00Go!
23:08Everybody up.
23:09Get some balance over there.
23:10Everybody up.
23:11Everybody up.
23:12Hands behind your head.
23:16That's your spot.
23:17Right there.
23:19One.
23:21Lower.
23:22Hands behind your head.
23:24Two.
23:25You're gone.
23:27That was pretty much my worst showing of any skills challenge so far.
23:30It's frustrating.
23:31I'm just not doing them as well as I know I can.
23:35Five.
23:37Good morning.
23:38Come on, Eric.
23:41Six.
23:42Breathe. Get a rhythm.
23:43I got money on you, sucker.
23:46Damn it.
23:47Out.
23:48You two.
23:49Over there.
23:50Eric, I would quit if I were you right now.
23:51It's not getting any better.
23:52It's sad to watch.
23:54You're gone.
23:57Here's how it plays out now.
23:59You four pick a corner.
24:01Here's a little twist.
24:02Andy and Eric are gonna run the ropes.
24:05Until we have two.
24:07And we'll move on from there.
24:08Set.
24:09Set.
24:10Go.
24:17Squat position.
24:19Hands out in front of you.
24:20Get down, Christina.
24:22Set.
24:24Be ready.
24:25You're gonna fall.
24:26Be ready.
24:31Go!
24:34We want to throw those guys some curves.
24:36We want to put them on the top rope.
24:37We want to take them out of their comfort zone.
24:39You know, once you start getting to that top rope,
24:41a lot of things can happen, and many of them are bad.
24:45Christina, you're out.
24:46Amy?
24:47Out.
24:48Time!
24:49Time!
24:50You two, over there.
24:52No matter what challenges the trainers have thrown at us,
24:56Jeremiah and I have consistently stepped up to the occasion
24:59and proven ourselves as the top dogs.
25:01It's called tough enough, and he's the only other person
25:03that I see as being in that same level of toughness.
25:06Here's how it's gonna go.
25:07You'll go first, head-to-head with the bag.
25:09You'll slam the bag in the middle.
25:11You'll drop an elbow from off the ropes.
25:13Then you'll slam the bag, and you'll drop an elbow from the top rope.
25:16When you're done, go back out there, because then it's his turn.
25:18I think Luke wants the top dog status, but you get on there,
25:21train tracks, you better get ready to get run over by the train.
25:25This dog ain't coming out without a fight.
25:27If he wants to earn top dog status,
25:29he's gonna have to go through me to get it.
25:31Go!
25:36Hey!
25:45Come on, keep moving!
25:46This is not a walk!
25:48Wait!
25:51Are you in Madison Square Garden right now?
25:54Or are you walking in the park?
26:01Ouch!
26:03Whatever you put in front of Jeremiah, he's gonna do.
26:05Today, Jeremiah lost focus.
26:08The bag went the wrong way, then he buckled with his technique,
26:12and the fact that he's green means Jeremiah's becoming dangerous.
26:15Set!
26:16Go!
26:25Jeremiah and I definitely have that understanding,
26:26where we get excited to see each other succeed.
26:29But when it comes to the physical challenges,
26:31I don't hold anything back because I want the trainers to know
26:34that I want this more than anything.
26:36Looks hungry.
26:37Mm-hmm.
26:38Finally.
26:40Drop!
26:44One, two, three!
26:46Outside.
26:47He got his first win.
26:48Luke was in my bottom three last week, and he needed to show up.
26:52He did.
26:53And if I helped him in any way, that's a good thing.
26:55But at the end of the day, I'm not gonna be able to help him
26:57every day of the week, so he needs to stay motivated on his own.
27:00And an interesting skill challenge.
27:03Congrats to young, cool hand Luke.
27:05You guys take a little break, go in here to my office with the rest of the trainers
27:16to talk about our bottom three, and we'll come back out and talk to you here briefly.
27:35All right, interesting day at the office with the skill challenge,
27:39and it's been an interesting week.
27:41Let's talk about your boy.
27:42My boy.
27:43Jeremiah.
27:44One thing I noticed, this kid refused to lose.
27:47He'd do whatever it takes to go out there and win.
27:49Today, he actually had a chance of winning that thing,
27:52didn't go out in the ring and perform as well.
27:55He continues to impress.
27:57He's got heart, and he listens, he's coachable.
28:00As a guy who really don't know as much,
28:02has really impressed me more than anybody in this competition.
28:06How far are you gonna let that go, though?
28:08Now it's the point where he knows just as much as everybody else.
28:11Let's talk about old cool hand Luke a little bit.
28:15Cool hand Luke.
28:16He's been solid, he's been a top guy.
28:18What'd you guys think about it?
28:20Luke's focus dolled in.
28:22He knew he had to get this test right.
28:25It was pretty impressive.
28:28What do you guys think about Big Andy?
28:30How'd he do today?
28:31Big Andy, you know, totally out of his comfort zone, I think.
28:34In a perfect world, is he ever gonna be on that top rope?
28:38Probably not.
28:39I think he's eyeing the top dog spot.
28:42I see a little more fire in him that I've seen as of late.
28:45Big E, oh Eric, ropes course yesterday.
28:49It was so bad, I thought I was gonna have to call in the fire department
28:52and get the kitten out of the tree.
28:54Eric has been a huge disappointment since day one.
28:58Just looking at him, I thought perhaps he could be the one to win that WWE contract.
29:05Again, the flashes of brilliance for a guy's size.
29:08He moves really good for about five to eight seconds and then it's...
29:12Yeah.
29:13Yeah.
29:14Ivelisse.
29:15She had a rough day on the ropes yesterday.
29:17The leg is really bothering her.
29:19She makes sure she lets us know that she's hurt.
29:23Maybe she's milking it, maybe she's not.
29:25Is it legit?
29:26I think it is.
29:27She's injured.
29:28I mean, that's the bottom line.
29:29If you're going to work at Raw and you show up injured, you're not going out to work that
29:33night.
29:34Are you guys thinking about Christina at this time?
29:37I think the bottom three last week was the spark that started the fire.
29:44Now we're starting to see a whole side of her and that whole package of what a WWE diva
29:50could potentially be.
29:52We got one more cat to talk about.
29:54AJ, Tumbleweed.
29:56Tumbleweed?
29:57Who's that?
29:58Like, he could keep just rolling right on out the door and I wouldn't notice him.
30:01I thought he was going to be a lot more comfortable than he was on that top turnbuckle.
30:05I think he's just happy to still be here.
30:07Yeah, I feel that right.
30:08That's not what we're looking for.
30:09We're not looking for the one who's happy to be here.
30:11The big picture.
30:13Superstar?
30:14No, sir.
30:20I'm going to call your name.
30:32Step forward.
30:38Eric.
30:45Gave a lease.
30:50Hey, Jay.
30:57All right, I want everybody to go back to the house.
30:59You three pack your bags.
31:01I want to see all three of you inside my ring.
31:05See you later.
31:09From a competition standpoint, there's no one I'd rather be in the bottom three with than Eric and Evie right now.
31:15Eric has been sucking on a consistent basis. Evie has been dragging around her bad leg. But by no means do I consider myself safe.
31:29Why do you think AJ?
31:30Because he's a dweeb and he sucks. If I'm just being honest.
31:35He's coasting.
31:38Coasting.
31:40Competition wise, I'm okay with AJ.
31:48How are you feeling?
31:49You know, level of uncertainty isn't as high as it was the first time.
31:52Yeah.
31:53And that's, for me, that's like the killer is uncertainty.
31:56To be an experienced bottom three person is not a good one.
31:58I'm in the bottom three with AJ and Evie.
32:01And I didn't do very well today or yesterday or the day before that.
32:04But, you know, it's all about getting better and improving.
32:06And I feel like I'm improving.
32:07What happens in that ring will stay in the ring.
32:11Mm-hmm. And if it's you and me coming back?
32:14As usual.
32:15Yeah.
32:16I'm confident that I'll be back.
32:17I think when Steve hears what I have to say, he'll see things my way.
32:20Somebody gotta go.
32:21Yeah, Evie sealed her fate. Hopefully.
32:24Whoops.
32:28Oh my God, look how swollen it is.
32:31I literally started my career with nothing.
32:33And I did every single thing I possibly could to get to where I'm at.
32:39Ah!
32:44This injury is completely robbing me of my moment.
32:49This is my whole life.
32:51I should not go home.
32:52Brace my heart.
32:54It really does.
32:58You know, tonight, going into my bottom three, I've got Eric, Evie, and AJ.
33:13Eric is out of shape.
33:15Evie is facing some injuries.
33:17As far as AJ goes, he has failed to impress.
33:20He's played it safe.
33:21To me, he's hanging on by the skin of his teeth.
33:23I knew I were just checking it out.
33:24Gratuom, are you kidding me?
33:28No.
33:30How can I do you do there?
33:32I'll see you on the fucking rasa.
33:33I'll do it again.
33:39Close the lens of his people having tried it here today.
33:41Anyway, I'm と Dip Guru.
33:42How's everybody doing tonight?
33:44Rough day in the office, sir.
33:46Rough day in the office.
33:48Duly noted.
33:54What's happening, neighbor?
33:56I've had better days.
33:58I've been watching you. You have had better days.
34:00I don't know anything about you, AJ.
34:02Tell me something.
34:04I'm in this competition to learn from the best in the world
34:06so I can become one of the best in the world.
34:08Goddamn, I was one of the best in the world,
34:10but I ain't no goddamn miracle worker.
34:15You seem like a nice guy, and it's like,
34:17you'd be a guy I'd probably want living next to me
34:21because you look like the type that's gonna keep his car clean,
34:24mow his grass, pick up the trash out in the street.
34:27If your dog my grass, you'd probably come pick it up.
34:30That's great if you and me was living next to each other
34:32in a neighborhood fashion.
34:34But tell me one good reason, AJ,
34:36why I would take money out of my back pocket,
34:39put it on the counter, and say,
34:41give me a damn ticket.
34:42AJ's gonna kick ass tonight in Madison Square Garden
34:45because he's my favorite WWE superstar.
34:48Tell me why I would do that.
34:50Because when I get in that ring,
34:52I'm gonna inspire you in a way that you can't describe.
34:57God dang, that was some good bull .
35:02What's your backup plan?
35:05Find another way in if it's not this one.
35:08Will you find a way in? Can you?
35:11Damn right I can.
35:12You love this that much?
35:13Yes, I do.
35:14You do.
35:15Well, that being said, if it's such a goddamn dream,
35:19how come you fail to make me notice you on a day-in, day-out basis?
35:24You got up on that top rope today.
35:26I mean, it didn't show me a damn thing.
35:28I thought you were gonna fall off or break your damn neck.
35:30How many skill challenges have you won?
35:33Zero.
35:34So that means you lost all of them?
35:36Eric, since we've started, I mean, your cardio, your conditioning
35:46really hadn't improved.
35:48I feel like my conditioning's gone up.
35:50It's just the workouts have gotten harder.
35:52The workouts have gotten harder.
35:53You want me to tell old Bill and Booker and Trish to take it easy on you?
35:57Absolutely not.
35:58Note to Bill and Booker T and Trish,
36:01workouts are getting too goddamn hard.
36:04I'm paraphrasing.
36:06Back off a little bit, Dave.
36:08No, don't back off.
36:09Every workout, I'm pushing myself to places I didn't know I could go.
36:13So you're pushing yourself to the limit every day?
36:16I believe so.
36:17Are you foolish?
36:18Not foolish.
36:22You really hit the wall yesterday.
36:24The old ropes course.
36:27What was that one deal when you stretched out across about three planks
36:31and you were laying there?
36:33I thought I heard you snoring for a second.
36:35Did you go to sleep?
36:36Did you take a cat nap?
36:37No way.
36:38We learned how tough it is to come in every day tough enough.
36:42And this ain't compared to what it's going to be in the WWE.
36:48You could have potential.
36:51You could be somebody.
36:53But on that same note, you could be flat out nobody.
36:57The ball's in your court.
36:59On a one to ten, what's the pain level?
37:13Probably an eight.
37:15You could tell you're in pain.
37:16You could tell you're in pain standing in the ring.
37:18Certainly tell you're in pain when you're trying to do the activities.
37:22If it wasn't for your leg, you wouldn't be here in the bottom three.
37:28I truly believe you belong in the ring.
37:31But I gotta go on what you can do.
37:35I gotta do what I gotta do.
37:42I understand.
37:51As much as it kills me.
37:53I know.
37:54I understand.
37:55I know.
37:56Good luck.
38:09Normally I only take one belt.
38:12Tonight I'm taking two.
38:25You wanna hand me that belt?
38:38You're gonna have to take it from me.
38:50You ever mow some grass before?
38:52You know, if you look long enough, you almost see that grass start to grow up again.
38:56It's a long, boring procedure.
38:59That's kind of what you remind me of in this ring.
39:02Grass growing.
39:05When we got rid of the riff raff, you was good enough to stick around.
39:09Now we get to the nut cutting time.
39:11You're starting to run out of rope.
39:13Let me tell you something, Eric.
39:28It takes a real special sumbitch to be in this ring.
39:31You need to want it as bad as she does.
39:34This is put up or shut up.
39:36This is tough enough.
39:38Are you motivated enough?
39:40Do you want this bad enough?
39:41Yes, I do.
39:42I don't wanna go home.
39:44Well, you gotta go home now because I'm taking your belt.
39:47This is not the end for me.
40:02You got flashes of doing some real good stuff.
40:06But it's just flashes.
40:08Thanks, Steve.
40:23You're me talking to you.
40:26Right now, don't light a fire under your mother ass.
40:29Something's wrong with you.
40:31You got some thinking to do and you better start hustling.
40:34It kills me that that injury had to happen here.
40:49I felt that this was my time.
40:51I knew that this was my time and I was gonna show the world
40:54and make it to the end over everybody, man or woman.
40:59But at the same time, at least I feel happy with myself
41:02that I never quit.
41:05And I never will.
41:07That sucks, man.
41:11I just feel like I failed.
41:13Winning this would've changed, you know, my family's life.
41:17I thought I was ready, and I'm not.
41:20Although I didn't win, I still was able to learn
41:23from the best in the world.
41:25I learned that don't quit.
41:27Whatever you do, do not throw in the towel. Keep going.
41:29You know, Eric, I'm not gonna totally write him out.
41:37He has a great look.
41:39He has flashes of being really, really good in the ring.
41:42But as much potential as he has, he's just not tough enough.
41:48You know, I wish you've at least all the luck in the world.
41:53Her body just went south on her,
41:55and the name of this contest is tough enough,
41:57and you've gotta fight through injuries.
41:59But if she keeps working hard at it,
42:01maybe we'll see her inside a WWE ring one of these days.
42:04We'll see you in the next two days
42:12you
