- With Jessica voted off the ranch after the latest weigh-in, the remaining seven contestants learn they are going into makeover week, which excites them not only because of the makeovers themselves, but because the week represents a milestone in the game. They also learn that their made over selves will be featured in People Magazine, and they will be walking the catwalk in support of Ford Warriors in Pink in fight of breast cancer. Their most exciting moment may be revealing their new selves to their family and friends. Ada continues to deal with the issue of lack of support from her family. Back to the game, the contestants' reward challenge for the week is to ascend the 300 foot long Angel's Flight funicular either by the train, which is worth one point, or by foot, which is worth five points. The first contestant to 100 points wins the challenge and a new car. The challenge has a surprise ending, and one contestant feels let down by not completing the race. Bob offers that contestant a symbolic completion of the challenge during the last chance workout. Leading into the weigh-in, the Brendan/Frado/Patrick alliance feels confident about their chances of making it to the finals.—Huggo
