RECAP:

Christina returns to the house and gives an anxious Trish the good news: she only has a sprain and can stay in the competition. Feeling responsible for the injury, AJ apologizes profusely, but Christina assures him it was merely an accident.

At the training center, Steve enters and announces the theme of the week: charisma. The sidelined Christina thinks this is great news since it's more about personality than physical ability. During the training session, everyone initially struggles with AJ unable to focus and Jeremiah being declared dangerous. Finally Andy and Luke earn a group hug from Bill after putting everything together and pulling off an awesome sequence.

The next day the contestants meet on Hollywood Boulevard for their life lesson: a Starline Bus Tour of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Psych star James Roday is on hand to give a lesson on entertaining an audience by being charismatic.

AJ goes first, and his boring delivery of the factual information fails to keep the tourists engaged. Next up is Luke, but his constant verbal jabs at Bill fall flat. Christina follows, but she is even worse. Her awkward delivery and lack of people skills, coupled with the fact that she gave no information about the Walk of Fame, leaves the tourists bored. Big Andy is frazzled and tongue-tied, and he makes the grave mistake of giving his entire tour with his back to Bill and the tourists. Finally, it's Jeremiah that hits it out of the park. During his tour he gives not one bit of information, but he keeps everyone in stitches and James names him the winner.

Later that day the contestants meet at the barn, and Steve announces a special guest: "The Rock." The contestants are awe-struck and delighted to discover they'll each get some time in the ring with the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. The Rock expertly manhandles them all, ending with some valuable advice.

After the warm up, the Rock announces he'll be staying to see how the contestants perform in the Skills Challenge: A two minute in-ring promo with Bill! The contestants range from merely unimpressive to downright horrible until AJ gives a promo that leaves the judges stunned. To announce the winner of the Skills Challenge, the Rock cuts a promo on the kids, and leaves AJ beaming after choosing him as the winner. But he's also left wondering if it will be enough to save him.

After deliberation, Steve calls out the bottom three: AJ, Andy and Christina. They're told to pack and meet Stone Cold back in the ring.

Back at the mansion Luke and Jeremiah celebrate being top dogs. A dejected AJ and Christina pack their things while an angry Andy fires himself up to go toe to toe with Stone Cold.In one of the most dramatic eliminations all season, Stone Cold pushes Andy to the emotional brink and delivers a shocking announcement.
