"VH1 Tough Love 2": The girls are challenged to a Tough Love beauty pageant

Jenna/VH1

On episode 5 of VH1 Tough Love 2 the girls competed in the first ever Miss Tough Love beauty pageant where they had to participate in a swimsuit competition, question & answer competition, and talent competition.  It was lesson #5 in the Tough Love boot camp, which was the "Wow factor" lesson.  None of the girls were too thrilled about having to strut their stuff in bikinis, but Jenna was downright mad.  Little did they know that Steve had the judges wearing opaque sunglasses, so they couldn't see the girls anyway and it was all about personality. 

There were some interesting talents in the talent competition.  Taylor sang the ABCs. Rocky sang a song about wearing a strap on and making someone take it like a man and Liz opened a beer bottle with her teeth.  For the question and answer period, Jenna blew off Steve's question despite being the "most educated person" there. 

When the judges gave feedback, they said Sally was awesome.  They said Taylor needed to take a chance.  They said Rocky was their least favorite.  They said Kanisha's answer to what she would do with a $1 million dollars was dishonest.  They weren't a fan of Liz's beer bottle trick.  They said Jenna was very basic and wasn't taking the competition seriously.  After hearing the feedback, the girls learned that the judges were wearing opaque sunglasses and that it was more of an inner beauty pageant.  Sally was crowned Miss Tough Love.

After the feedback, Steve talked to Jenna.  He said he thought she would have won the competition hands down, but instead she didn't take it seriously.  Jenna said since losing 80 plus pounds she didn't want the world to see her loose skin.  The crazy thing was she didn't have to wear a bikini, she just needed to be confident. 

After the pageant, some of girls went trapeze flying, skeet shooting, rock climbing, and paintballing.  It was up to girls to show off their wow factor.  Alicia and Rocky went paintballing with their dates.  Alicia was having a good time until she heard her date say he was in "Hebrew School".  Alicia sounded like an idiot coming up with reasons why she may not want to continue seeing Jeremy saying she didn't want to give up Christmas and that she didn't want people wearing "little hats" at her wedding.  Taylor and Liz went rock climbing.  Kanisha and Angel went skeet shooting.  Tina, Jenna, and Sally went trapeze flying.  Jenna was negative as usual.  She wouldn't even try the trapeze. 

At group therapy, Taylor did the best.  Steve told Alicia she did well this week, but he called her out.  Alicia was happy to talk about not wanting to date Jeremy if he was Jewish to the girls, but clammed up when Steve asked since Steve is Jewish.  Jenna did the worst and was in the hot seat.  All of the men Steve has set her up with have said the same thing and they basically aren't interested in a second date.  Jenna said she's trying, but Steve and the other girls in the house disagree.
