- DARRYL'S GONE

The day Darryl was cut, everyone was on edge, because they realized that it could have been any one of them.

After he had left, the trainees continued working out and doing squat-thrusts. Shadrick struggled finishing his, and Al Snow made him keep going.

In the ring, Shadrick struggled to do a front flip onto a back bump, and just couldn't land flat on his back.

WWF Trainer Jacqueline said, "I want Shadrick to do really well. He's got a very nice personality and he wants it really bad."

JOSH

In the ring, WWF Trainer Tazz taught Josh how to be held in a single-leg Boston Crab, which is a variation of what WWF fans know as the "Walls of Jericho."

Josh said that he wanted to prove he could do it, so he would volunteer for any demonstration. "This is a competition, so I need to compete," he said.

Al observed Josh and said, "He's at a real disadvantage because of his size. Pro wrestling is more of a large man's sport, so that just means that he's going to have to work a lot harder."

GOING OUT

After a tough week of training, the students decided it was a good time to blow off everything and go out and have a good time. So they went to a restaurant that was staffed completely by transvestites!

There, Nidia had a lapdance done for her by a beautiful "lady," which she said was "a lot of fun."

Not only did the staff provide lapdances, but they also pulled Greg and Chris up to the stage and told them to strip!

After that was all done, the "hostess" wanted to pick someone from the table and make them over into a drag queen. The Tough Enough table nominated Maven.

He went back and didn't think twice about it. He came out with pink hair, a sequined sweater and hot pants. "He makes a great looking woman," said Chris.

TAKING THE BUMP

Back at Trax, Shadrick had more difficulty taking back bumps. So much difficulty, in fact, that trainer Tori told him to stop beating her up when he took the bump.

"You are killing me with your arms on your way down," she told him. "You need to stop, think about the bump, and do it right."

After he continued to struggle, Tazz and Al pulled him aside.

"I'm going to give you the heads up," Tazz said. "Get your game in tact. You need to show us you want it."

After training was done, they were told that in 24 hours, another cut would be made.

MAVEN

At home, Maven called his mom and told her that there was one episode of the show that she couldn't watch when it aired.

"Why not," she asked.

"Because they dressed me up like a girl," he answered. His mom responded by laughing and telling him that she can't wait to see it.

Maven said his mom was incredibly proud of him. "She as incredibly supportive as can be," he said. "She's happy for me, and she's really looking forward to watching me."

As Maven spoke to his mom, he asked her how she was feeling. In January, she was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, which was pretty extensive through most of her body. She told him she was doing well.

"I'm not gonna lie," Maven said later. "Almost 70% of my days here are spent thinking about that. She's my life. She's everything to me."

STUDY TIME

At night, Big John brought over videotapes of RAW and SmackDown!, so the trainees could watch them and study them. As they watched, Big noticed someone was missing.

"Josh sits and talks about this all the time, and he's the one not here watching it," Big said. "Where is he?"

When Josh came out, he said that he couldn't watch the tapes with other people. "I just hate it when someone in the house says that someone on TV took a bad bump," he said. "I mean, we've been doing this for just a few weeks, we don't know what we're talking about."

PROVE YOU WANT IT

With another cut on the way, the trainees set out to prove themselves to the decision-makers.

"With that second cut coming, I am real scared," Chris said.

Shadrick took a break during training after Al lit into him. He looked as if he was ready to break down and cry.

"I'm upset because I'm frustrated," he said. Jacqueline came over to him and tried to comfort him.

"You can do this," she said. "You can do this."

Al came over and asked him what was wrong, and Shadrick said that the pressure was getting to him.

"The pressure's always going to be there," Al said. "You don't even know what pressure is."

Chris also struggled doing the back bump.

"You need to stop doing the bunny hop there, or it'll look terrible," Al said.

Chris thought that he could do it, and it was a surprise to him when he couldn't. "I thought I could just bust in here and be something phenomenal," he said.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

Taylor and Josh discussed the cut the night before it was announced.

"I don't know how they are deciding this stuff," Taylor said.

Josh said that he thought he'd be cut, because he is so small. "If I was 6-foot-three, no one else here would have a chance."

At Trax, the trainers discussed who should be cut.

When they got to Shadrick, Jackie told the story of how he was crying at ringside and she went up to him. As she told the story, she broke into tears and said that his whole situation got to him.

THE CUT

The next morning, the trainees ate breakfast and prepared for their trip to Trax. When they got there, Al told them that they had made a decision, and it was a very difficult one to make. Then he sent them into the locker rooms to see if they had the red flag hanging in their locker.

It was Shadrick.

He hugged his friends and walked out of the locker room. It was a very emotional goodbye for all involved. When he said goodbye to the trainers, Jackie hugged him and started sobbing.

"I really enjoyed each and every one of these people," Shadrick said. With that, Al took Shadrick's chair and added it to the graveyard.
