Still in tears Bradley says goodbye to his teammates, who all now feel sincerely bad for him, except for Jeremy May, who seems mostly relieved.

The show moves closer to fight day and we get to know Mike Dolce and Jesse Taylor a bit better.

Dolce speaks proudly of being the youngest tax assessor in his state's history. His supreme confidence borders on arrogance when he speaks about how he's going to beat Taylor. In an odd juxtaposition, one that seems planted to give Dolce an heir of humility---we see him lying on his bed reading the Holy Bible. While he reads we hear his voice over, "I'm looking to put my hand through the back of Jesse's head, and then I'll cook him dinner later that night". The audience is left wondering if Jesus would approve.

If not as well spoken, Taylor is just as confident, "I chose to *uck school. I'll do what I've been dreaming of since I was a kid". The Big John McCarthy look alike impresses Forrest with his work and prompts Forrest to exclaim,"He could be the next Matt Hamill".

With the first elimination fight nearing, there's one last order of business for Rampage and Dana to decide, who will replace Paul Bradley. Rampage decides he wants Aaron Meisner, who lost in last week's episode to Brandon Sene. Dana tells him he hurt his knee in that fight and is unavailable. The choice is revealed after the commercial break. The alternate fighter that was chosen is Patrick Schultz, who was choked out by Luke Zachrich the week before. Dana says Rampage's assistants saw something they liked in Schultz, but Dana thinks it's a poor choice.

We finally get to spend a little time in the famous TUF house the night before the fight when Rampage makes a surprise visit to his team. He hangs out with them and gets to know his guys.

The funniest moment is when he trades barbs with Matt Riddle. Riddle confesses, unabashedly, that he lives with his mom and doesn't even have a driver's license. When Rampage tells the guys that he took up fighting when he was still in the ninth grade at 17 years of age, Riddle jokingly questions him about the reason behind being so old and in such a low grade. Rampage puts him back in his place without missing a beat, "same reason your dumb*ss doesn't have a license".

Fight day arrives and we watch Dolce and Taylor prepare for the big day. Dolce meditates in the pool, and thinks he has the mental edge. Taylor is eager, "I'd fight every week if I could". He thinks it'll be a brawl and that he has the edge, "I'm more of a smart brawler than him".
