Ugly Betty Survivor

by Tom on March 25th, 2008

Suzuki St Pierre here; I’m the host of “Fashion TV Survivor”.  We are down to the final two, and it’ll be up to you to determine who wins!  After a quick recap of this week’s season of Fashion TV Survivor, you’ll have your chance to vote in a special poll, and the person with the most votes wins the contest.

First, a quick recap of what’s happened so far:

Week One: Ten contestants, all of them having something to do with Meade Publications, were dropped into the fashion wilderness of Queens, NY.  The teams were divided as follows:

1. Red Team
• Betty Suarez
• Wilhelmina Slater
• Cliff St. Paul
• Alexis Meade
• Henry Grubstick
2. Blue Team
• Marc St James
• Daniel Meade
• Christina McKinney
• Amanda Sommers
• Nick Pepper

Now, you might think being in Queens was an unfair advantage to Betty, but, as you know, on Fashion TV Survivor, nothing is ever as it seems. 

The challenge in the first episode was to find a place to get good sausage and peppers.  Betty, followed by Henry,  (and surprisingly, Daniel), found them right away.  Wilhelmina bribed a street vendor and got directions, arriving shortly after Betty and Daniel.  Cliff was already there, and was on his second helping.  Christina arrived next, and Amanda and Nick were last, because they had spent most of the allotted time making out.  Alexis did not find the restaurant at all.

Betty got immunity, and one member of the blue team had to be eliminated.  At the tribal council, Christina got voted off, mainly because most were worried about a pregnant woman performing harrowing stunts and eating spicy food.

Week Two:   Every contestant had to write and perform an original song at The Beer Hole.  Notables were Marc’s “Coming Out Again”, and Henry’s “I’m Bananas For Betty”.  Amanda, of course, stole the show with a re-performance of “Gene Simmons Is My Daddy”.  Wilhelmina sang “Save The Worst For First” (which sounded vaguely like an 80’s slow-dance song).  Cliff surprised everyone with the heavy-metal “Spikes In The Eyes”.  Nick and Alexis did not participate.  The celebrity judge, Betty White, deemed the Blue team the winner.  Alexis was eliminated from the red team.

The rest of the season recap is after the jump!  Don’t forget to vote!

Week Three: TWO contestants were eliminated this week!  The team members had to work together to build a fashionable wardrobe using only clothes from Old Navy.  Marc was TOTALLY at a loss, and didn’t have Cliff to help him.  He sat in a corner of the room, puffing his inhaler.  The rest of his team, Daniel, Amanda and Nick, put together a wonderfully stylish wardrobe.  Wilhelmina took charge for the red team, and altogether, they did well, (Henry was spectacular at choosing sweaters), except Betty - who made the fashion blunder of putting red suede mocs with army green chinos.  Judge Christian Siriano deemed the Blue team’s line the most fierce.  At the tribal council, each team eliminated its weakest member: Marc from the blue team and Betty (gasp!) from the red.

Week Four: In a recreation of the famous paintball match, the two teams roamed the streets of Queens playing paintball (Don’t worry, they had the permission of the local authorities).  Daniel was not going to be denied this time; he single-handedly knocked out Cliff and Wilhelmina.  Henry did get Nick and Amanda at the same time (making out again!), but he got knocked out by Daniel shortly thereafter.  The Blue team won, and in the tribal council, Wilhelmina was eliminated.

Week Five:  The teams were merged this week!  Left in the contest were Cliff, Henry, Daniel, Amanda, and Nick.  Amanda formed an alliance with Nick and Daniel.  She said she couldn’t stand the thought of Marc or Betty’s boyfriend winning the competition. The competition was held at Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden in Astoria.  Each contestant had to down several beers, then make dog clothing out of paper clips.  Amanda was perfect in this.  Henry used his engineering skills to build doggie chain mail, but he was too drunk to put it together correctly.  Daniel’s was a little too big, and Nick’s was a disaster.  Cliff downed more beers than anyone, but did just fine.  In a surprise move, Amanda turned on Nick, and with the votes of Henry and Cliff, Nick was eliminated.

Week Six: Showdown week.  Two more were eliminated, leaving us with the final two.  The challenge this week left the confines of Queens, and traveled to “The Middle Ages”.  Each of them must see how long they can ride on the mechanical steed.  Henry, surprisingly, does the best.  Daniel held on for dear life and made it 30 seconds.  Cliff fell off after 3.  Amanda fell off almost immediately, but her dress got caught in the steed’s saddle, causing it to tear off at the skirt.  Therefore, the judges had no idea how long she stayed on.  Instant replay showed she only stayed on 2 seconds.  Amanda and Cliff were  eliminated, leaving our final two, Daniel and Henry.

Now, it’s up to you. Daniel and Henry insist that they are friends and will not be upset if the other wins.  However, Daniel DID form the alliance with Amanda (along with firing Betty three times in the past year).  Plus, there’s no mistaking that Daniel does not approve of Henry being in Betty’s life.

So, now, it is your time to vote.  Who should win the Fashion TV Survivor Challenge, Henry or Daniel?
