After the show the ladies are invited to an after-party with Bret and his band. The ladies are ready to go, drinking shots like there's no tomorrow, when Big John announces that Bret isn't feeling well after the show and won't be making it to the after-party. To make up for his absence, Bret's band will treat the ladies to drinks and gambling. All the ladies are taking the opportunity to gamble away someone else's money and buy free drinks, save Beverly who is spending an awful lot of time chatting with Bret's mohawked drummer. Despite being incredibly intoxicated, Ashley is still eagle-eyed and she freaks out when she spots Beverly and Bret's drummer share a kiss. Ashley, who's been a wild child throughout the show, is outraged that Beverly would go behind Bret's back like that and she screams what she saw for everyone to hear. While Beverly claims she doesn't know what Ashley is talking about, the cameras and the drunk platinum blond aren't lying...Beverly definitely kissed the drummer. Uh-Oh, this can't be good for the lone music lover left on Rock of Love Bus.

The winners date is pretty unremarkable, though it is becoming clear that Bret is over Marcia Brazil's drunk antics. He repeatedly says he doesn't believe he can compete with Marcia's love for tequila or Dorito's. And he may be right. Marcia is constantly saying she doesn't know Bret well enough to have an opinion on him and she drunkenly gave away Bret's special gift. Meanwhile, Ashley's determination to win Bret's heart is becoming very clear. For the second show in a row, she tells Bret about other ladies indiscretions--outing Marcia's gift giving and Beverly's kiss. Even the morning after, Beverly is still foggy on what happened with Bret's drummer--but she is at the very least apologetic. When Bret confronts her about the kiss she says she doesn't remember it, but if it did happen she was way too drunk and very sorry.

At elimination, it's anyones guess. Bret only has to eliminate one girl because of Maria's early medical leave and there are at least three girls who could have obviously earned a spot on the chopping block. There's drummer-kisser Beverly, drunk mess Marcia Brazil, and too normal for her own good Mindy. Bret calls Ashley first at elimination, followed by Natasha who Bret swears he has a deep connection with, though we've barely seen a moment between the two. Next Bret calls Ashley's BFF Farrah, followed by Utah girl gone bad Kelsey, stage diver Taya, and surprisingly absent this episode Brittanya. Just as expected, we've got the obvious three left.  Facing the three remaining contestants Bret says, "For once in my life I know eaactly what I need to do," and then he sends Big John away with the remaining three passes. This is when we actually start to freak out a little bit. If he sends all three of them home--the lone remaining normal girls, Beverly and Mindy are gone--and the last hold out of the crazy fun posse Marcia would also be gone. Don't do it Bret! After a few moments of serious anxiety, Bret tells Beverly and Mindy to go back to the bus and sends Marcia Brazil to other boozy shores.

Next Week:  All hell breaks lose, when alliances and friendships are ended to win Bret's heart. Also, one of the ladies is outed for having a fiance.
