Challenge: Testing their dedication from Relationship
Challenge Reward: A romantic dinner
Challenge Winner: Justin "J Daddy" and Kathleen
Bottom 3: John L., Josh, Stew
Eliminated: Josh (Jamie decided to stay with Josh)
Episode Notes: After being eliminated, Josh did not go out the main door to meet his girlfriend, Jamie. He said that he would not go out and make himself look like an idiot being the first one to leave. The producer and head of security gave him chances to walk out, saying he was now trespassing, but Josh refused so he was forcibly removed by security, when even there, he hesitated. Jordan ran out, yelling at Josh that he had to leave ("You're a tool, you've been expelled, get the fuck out!"). Security led him out the backway. Josh and Jamie wouldn't leave because Josh wanted the car to be brought to him. Jamie decided to stay with Josh after he said "honest" to her, letting her know he was telling the truth.
Episode 2
Original Broadcast - First aired September 6, 2009[8][9]
Eliminated: J Daddy (Kathleen decided to leave J Daddy)
Episode Notes: Despite a somewhat strong showing in the previous episodes, J Daddy took neither the mirror exercise, nor the beet picking challenge seriously. Also, Kat and Leah revealed that they work as strippers, which ignited an argument over "ruining happy homes" from Shannon.
Eliminated: John L. (Sarah decided to stay with John L.)
Episode Notes: The reason for John L.'s elimination was his lack of maturity and his loss of temper, resulting in the damage of school property. He had promised to calm down and not lose his temper as much, but proved he was not able to do so. Terry was almost eliminated because during the therapy session, he blamed his problems on Nicole once again and made excuses. Also, during the challenge, he was more focused on winning than helping Nicole. At the end of the challenge, Shealyn had a sharp pain in her chest. While being checked by the paramedics, Tyler stayed with her the whole time. Therefore, he was first to receive his Maturity badge.
