Tensions are high. Nerves are shot — neither the contestants nor the judges are looking forward to this. One person has admitted to barfing. "Just so you know, I'm going to jump in this lake and drown," says Starrr. This elimination takes the contestants down from 20 to 12.
The results? All six boys are moving forward, splitting the dozen equally between men and women. The remaining contestants will be voted on by the coaches' fans on social media. Social voting is important, but for this elimination, it's outweighed by the aforementioned criteria — makeup technical skill, artistry/creativity, and Benefit DNA/storytelling ability — plus the photo appeal based on social votes.
After an obstacle course, the four teams meet to create a skit, which will be performed after dinner. The winners of the skit challenge will receive the next three Benefit PR sends. The teams that won did a great job, although there was a strategy in picking the winner: Team Marrero has extremely high engagement, and Benefit is predicting her team will ultimately produce the Brow Search winner — at least when it comes to the social voting. If that's a possibility, they want to choose two teams to win the skit competition, based on their performances: Team Starrr and Team Mean, as Team How You Doin' won an obstacle course challenge earlier in the day.
After a dinner in the garden and a Troop Beverly Hills screening near the lake, it's time for bed.
