Listening to criticism can be hard, but for one contestant on this week's True Beauty, it was the trigger that forced him to show his true colors. Taylor went off, shouting obscenities when a focus group called him boring, but was it enough to him booted off the show? Almost.

This week's challenge had the contestants conducting man-on-the-street interviews with the Las Vegas tourists. Not an easy job, especially since the writers added a couple of very difficult words to the script. But the real test came in the elevator on the way to the gig. Even though they were told not to look at the script ahead of time, all of the girls used the private elevator time to peek while none of the guys did. Not that cheating helped anyone. They all had a tricky time sounding upbeat and professional.

The biggest train wreck was Liz. She froze in front of the camera, constantly forgetting her questions, and she wasn't at all sociable with the crowd. When a focus group screened the performances, she was given the lowest score out of everyone. Her only saving grace was that she didn't mouth off about the low marks. Taylor and David came in right behind her and David took the criticism like a man, earning him points with the judges, as did Erika, Amy, Michelle and Craig.

With Taylor and Liz in the bottom two, the housemates were rejoicing. They figured they were finally getting rid of the moody monster and the judges were in agreement. Though Taylor had surprised them with his angry side, overall he was doing very well, where Liz was failing every moral challenge thrown her way. So it was an easy choice. Liz should go . . . but not so fast.

In a surprise twist, Vanessa tells them that neither Taylor or Liz will be leaving because someone else in the house broke the rules. Regina! She used a cell phone to contact the outside world, which could have given her an unfair advantage if she'd learned the true nature of the show. She apologized for breaking the rule and begged for a second chance, then Vanessa revealed her other transgressions and she just didn't get it.

It was a lucky break for Liz, but even a luckier break for ABC, who got to keep their star troublemaker for at least another week. That's ratings points, right there.
