Five remaining designers must make over main rooms in sorority and frat houses. The designers are at Occidental College in Los Angeles. They are serenaded by a drumline, cheerleaders, and a cat mascot. I was hoping that Bromstad would pop out of the mascot costume, but he didn't. :(

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?!
