The girls, Tiffany and Anne, will take on the sorority house. While Brooks, Jeribai, and Boris will take on the fraternity house. I'm not going to attempt their names since Greek houses are douchey.
The girls head over the sorority and they see a room with two old couches, everything is hand me down. They use this space as a place for get togethers and alumni come by to visit. They want red and white since that is their colors. Their fireplace is awful, which Tiffany wants. They want their ensigna on somewhere in the design.
The boys see this room that is a rec room, study room, and dining area. A "Gentlemen's Lounge" is Boris' term. They want Royal Purple and Old Gold, DOUCHE! They want the crest involved as well.
The girls are looking at gray and red for the walls, using their Post-It notes, but Anne wants to use a different red color that is sophisticated and she owns it. Lumber Liquidators is also thrown in, product placement, wow! I want to go to Lumber Liquadtors for all of my needs.
The boys begin designing, Boris is going to do drapes, shocker!, and Boris wants Jeribai to refinish the table. Jeribai doesn't want to be the handyman this time around, and focus on design. I think that Jeribai has a better chance of being the HGTV star if he can show us guys how to do these handyman things at home. That's an opinion obviously. "Boris, use your German man strength!" quote of the day by Jeribai.
Anne starts taking over the fire place, then Tiffany is like, "hold up!" and she takes it back. She has a good idea and Anne allows for her to take control.
Brooks and Jeribai go to a pool table shop and they pick out a new table that will have the Antique Gold felt with the insignia on it, pretty sweet idea.
Tiffany and the carpenter, a man of a lady, start destroying that fireplace. When they break through this ugly thing, they realize there is a fireplace underneath, but that carpenter broke some of the brick! Look, you don't' let a woman do a man's job! Cliche', but it might be true here. Ackward fist bump between Tiffany and carpenter lady. haha, so great. The carpenter is going to need to re-brick that fire place.
The girls are going to put the crest on some wallpaper, not sure where they're going with it, but believe in Anne!
The boys are looking for some new tables, but they can't find a good one. Boris is talking Jeribai into refinishing the existing table, but guess what, Jeribai does it.
Carpenter is working on the fireplace, and she is doing work!
Day 2
Jeribai starts working on the table. He puts something on it, then sands it down, and then stains it.
Tiffany thinks the red in the room looks like a dull orange, and it does look like that with the room empty. The fireplace is completed, at least the brick part.
VOLVO COMES: BROMSTAD HAS ARRIVED!
Bromstad is talking with the boys. Bromstad advises that you bring in some table lamps and other lamps so the boys won't need to use the florescent lighting anymore.
Camera Challenge: Give a home improvement tip to a Fraternity Brother
Jeribai- Teaches how to install a hardwood floor, he does a pretty good job. I feel like I could install a floor right now.
Boris- He is less creepy, but shows this kid how to paint with a brush or a roller. Come on Boris, I knew that.
Brooks- Installing a chair rail molding, Brooks stumbles on his words and then Bromstad tears him a new one. He said, " Do you steamroll over your students?" Brooks looks hurt, why you gotta be so mean to my man Brooks?!
Camera Challenge: Give a home improvement tip to a Sorority Sister
Tiffany: Tells how to patch up a hole and she is very personable. I didn't know how to do that, but Bromstad says everyone knows how to do that. You don't know me Bromstad!
Anne: How to make a perfect stripe with paint on a texture wall. I don't get it.
Boris is sent to look for furnitue which he is into, I don't think he actually likes doing work.
Brooks is working on his wood paneling and molding, which looks pretty regal. Jeribai is currently working on the table, it looks good and I feel like I could maybe do that too.
The girls are looking for accesories, while the flooring is installed.
Boris is shopping for furniture, he found chester feel chairs? They're leather and comfortable looking. He then gets a couch, which is tope linen but has a brass nail head that is "so yummy". Oh Boris, I love your comments.

| Boys Finished Product |
The guys aren't in love with the couch. Jeribai and Brooks are going to get lamps and Boris is staying behind to stage the house.
Anne is painting the buffet but spray paints it black. Tacky!
The guys find an estate sale to get the lamps, I want to find an estate sale now.
The fireplace is finished, and Tiffany is assembling carpet tiles to make a rug, and you can replace them easy. Cool idea!
Boris is starting to do the room, but then his drapes come so he focus' on that, but he hasn't moved one piece. Brooks and Jeribai are working their asses off trying to stage the house, while Boris is watching the carpetner put up the hardware. Umm, can't you multitask?
Anne puts up the wallpaper crest and puts molding around it. It looks really good.

| The Crest |
Brooks and Jeribai are trying to move the table back in, since that thing is huge.
Both teams are doing their final touches, the rooms look great and the judges have a hard decision here.
Judges
Sorority House: Love- sophisticated, like the orangey-red with neutral, love the custom made wallpaper, fire place, carpet tiles Hate- buffet, non-accessorized fireplace
Fraternity House: Love- more sophisticated, pool table, chairs, dining table Hate-big black hole curtains, sofa, absence of lighting (Bromstad rats them out again!)
Meeting with Judges
Girl Team:
Camera Challenges: I understand Anne's now with my 3rd watching, I don't think that's a good thing? Tiffany comes across as a friend, but the tip wasn't the greatest.
Reveal: The sorority girls loved the house.
Boy Team:
Camera Challenges: Jeribai had the best camera challenge in my opinion. Brooks gets criticized again, you could tell he was kind of scared Vern said, "I don't sense that what we say week after week is absorbing." Yikes. Boris looks like he is learning from his own tip, they like it better, but the tip was terrible. Soto was like, "you're going to tell me how to put on my pants too." Oh Snap!
Reveal: The boys love it, immediately one jumps on that white couch, which the judges jump on Boris for.
The girls team wins, which I don't know if they really had the better room, but I think the judges knew it was between Brooks and Boris. Boris gets the boot, which was inevitable. He just doesn't have the talent to take this all the way.
How much money do these folks get to decorate these rooms. You know they're spending tons of money here.

| Bye Boris, some of us will miss you. |
I think Anne is definitely the best designer here, but Jeribai and Brooks have interesting qualities that would make for a better TV show I think. I think this thing is going to come down between Jeribai and Anne. I hope that Brooks steps up in the camera challenge or I feel like he won't be around very much longer. Tiffany is pretty good, but I don't think she stands out with the design aspect.
