Tonya just can’t seem to figure out why people think she is stupid. She is a college graduate. She claims she can be stupid and ditzy, and still have her sh-t together. Coral sees Tonya so drunk that she can’t even walk, and says that she has a problem with the drinking, because it might affect the team in the end.

When they arrive at the next challenge, the lovely host, Johnny, tells the players that they after they pick team leaders, they will not be allowed to talk. That’s all he tells them.

At the leader discussion meetings, Tonya says that she should step up since she hasn’t been a leader 3 times. Ruthie and Coral also step up for the girls, and Dan, Theo, and Shane become the team leaders for the guys.

After the leaders put their names on the board, Johnny explains more about the challenge. He says that nobody can talk until he blows his whistle. If someone does talk, it is a 20 point penalty, which can be a major hurt in the teams score. After 20 minutes, the leaders must take one of the stencil letters and spray paint it on the team member’s bodies. They then have 20 minutes to make as many words as they can, using the letters that they have chosen. The longer your word is, the more points you get. Whoever ends up with the most words in the end, will win this challenge.

So Johnny starts the challenge, and Steven is really on the edge of talking. Shane takes it offensively, because if they lose, then he is going home.

When Johnny blows the whistle, Theo and Shane approach Steven about the talking. Steven says he wasn’t talking, and Shane grabs his wrist. Steven slaps Steven, but then says he was “pushing him away”.

So Johnny calls the players over again, and they all know something is up. Johnny tells them that Steven hit Shane, and is ejected from Battle of the Sexes 2. This means that the guys are down a person and a letter, and it will be harder from them to win.

During the mission, the women seem to get a lot of words, and at the end, the have more words than the boys. But in the end, the boys win another win, since a lot of the words had more letters. This is very upsetting for the girls, since they had one more person.
Johnny announces that the Inner Circles need to decide which player to eliminate. The Inner Circles are…

Girls: Tina, Arissa, Sophia and Robin
Boys: Dan, Shane and Theo [No Decision Made Due To Steven Leaving]

At Elimination Hill, the women announce that Tonya will be leaving them. She doesn’t take it personally, but it really was.
