The view comes in to focus as we watch the front door, the anticipation of the leaving contestant rises, footsteps are head approaching the door. The handle turns and it is pushed open.
James steps out of the door hesitantly at first, he looks behind him, shakes his head and heads towards the stairs and the waiting car.
He walks down the stairs, his head down, not meeting the view of the camera. The only sound is the sounds of his shoes and a quick clearing of his throat as he passes the camera.
Lynn’s sultry voice can be heard off screen, “It’s a pleasure to see you again, James.”
James grunts and raises an eyebrow, “Forgive my sarcasm and cruelty, but it isn’t nice to see you again.”
“Well that is understandable. To see me again requires you to be removed from the house.”
James nods in agreement, “Exactly. Though I have to say I thought I’d be seeing you sooner.” You can see him relax a bit, accepting his removal from the home.
“Sooner? Why is that?”
James gives a lopsided grin, “Well when I ended up with zero fish, I’m sure most of the audience was surprised to see me still around. I mean, heck I was pretty surprised too. Grateful, just surprised.”
“Yes you have had a rough time of this competition.”
James chuckles, “You have no idea.”
“Mind elaborating?”
James runs a hand over his hair and contemplates his words, “Well…” he takes a deep breath while absent mindedly scratching his arm, “You see… before coming here, I was… am… a repo man.” He pauses for a reaction, getting none he feels confident in continuing, “Now keep in mind, not all repo men are ruthless, while I admit I did have to reposes some things I’m not too proud of, it was just a job. Always just a job for me.”
“I’m afraid I’m not seeing the connection…”
James looks at her, eyes wide, “These guys are ruthless! Cutthroat, backstabbing, out for the kill.” He shakes his head, “I think I’m too mellow for my line of work and for this competition.”
The house is unusually quiet. The bed creaks softly, the sound of a toilet some where flushes, Danny rolls over and stares out the window in to the dark night.
Gilbert sighs as he pulls the covers back. He sits on the bed for a while thinking. He stares at his bare feet in contemplation. A toilet flushes some where on the other side of his door, and he shakes himself from his thoughts. Climbing in to bed, he pulls the blankets around him, turning his back to the camera.
Suzi sits at her vanity staring at her hands neatly folded before her. She had scrubbed her face clean of the lipstick and make up, put her hair back up in its usual bun. Back to her comfortable self she takes a moment to reflect over the evening. No sound is heard until yet another flush of a toilet upstairs, she wipes a stray tear with the back of her hand.
Quietly Suzi slips in to her soft bed, pulling the blankets up over her shoulders. She reaches over and turns off the bedside lamp, sighing softly in the darkness.
Brandon sits heavily on his bed, swinging his legs in to bed in one sweeping move. Fussing until he’s comfortable he takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.
Danny lifts himself on to one elbow and looks at Brandon, “I hear it helps to put one foot on the ground.”
Brandon sighs, “I’m fine.”
Danny shakes his head and gets comfortable once more.
The screen fades, the theme music plays and the credits begin rolling:

Oh man! James is my favorite. I just hope Gilbert doesn't win. I don't like him at all.
*waves hi to Oydie & Randy*
What are you TALKING about! I absolutely ADORE Gilbert! :O)) I think his cocky attitude is just a front for a man who really wants to be with our gal. :O) But wow ... everyone was so ... SUBDUED! I hope that things don't get too crazy for the last few episodes. *squees*
*winces* I hope Brandon didn't just jinx himself there.
Huh, wonder what that's all about... Nice way to ruin a good day though.
Aah, I see. *tsks*
Aww, that was really sweet of Gilbert. And surprisingly empathetic. He acknowledged something was wrong and sent her off to deal, without pushing for details or assuming it was something with him.
Nice of Gilbert to also make sure the other guys didn't pester her with "are you okay's" and stuff.
*cackles* Okay, that was kinda mean, Gilbert. *giggles* James, shame on you, sleeping so late on a farm.
Man, they're all so sweet. I don't know how she's gonna choose!
Hehe, they killed all her plants! *snickers* Yay for a bronze badge, Gil! Ooo, and James! Nice!
I hope the sauna helps to unwind you, Suzi.
What're you up to, Gilbert. *peers* Who'd he invite?
Brandon, you're a bit wound tightly there, aincha. GAH!!! Who did Gilbert invite?!?
Ooo, he hired a maid? Nice. :-D And Danny... *smacks him on the back of the head* you're supposed to be woo'ing Suzi, not oggling the new maid. Heh, that was a stroke of genius, Gil. I wonder which maid they got, that they all think she's hot. Kaylynn?
Hmm... You should have fessed up to the maid and who hired it, no matter if it would "hurt" you -- the honesty and credit fairly given would have earned you some brownie points too.
*coughs* Well now... didn't see that coming. I figured it was going to be someone from her past, not one of the contestants.
The guys are starting to get a little catty with each other, eh? But geeze, the other people need to stop standing there staring at them all. Wow, that guy, cute as he is, REALLY needs to get a clue!!
And just what is Brandon planning? *narrows her eyes suspiciously* (And Gilber -still- hasn't told her he hired a maid so her house would actually be clean.)
Erm, yikes? Gil, you need to tell her about the maid. That'll tip you back over! Oh, Brandon, I don't think aggravating one of the other guys is the way to win Suzi's heart.
*chews her lip* I hope this doesn't go badly... Wow, Brandon, nice mature response there.
Aww, bye James. *waves* I'm glad he seems to be taking it in stride though.
Oh, Suzi. *huggles* :-(
Gilbert, you need to step it up to recover that hit from your jealous fit! Most of the time, I think he's my favorite. Most of the time.
Yeah, I like Gilbert, too. :-) Nice job with my makeup and hair and dress--I'm gorgeous, hee hee! Very exciting episode!
