We opened with the three remaining Rookies all being told by their Pros that they were on their own this week. Not one single Pro was in the area.
This moved nicely into the first Challenge, the Grace Under Pressure.
Each Rookie had to run around the ring, doing a selection of odd motor skill related tasks from picking up dice with chop sticks to stacking wooden blocks.
- Johnny Curtis clocked in at 1minute 19 seconds
- Brodus Clay clocked in at 1m 46s
- Derrick Bateman clocked in at 1m 43 s
The only match this week was a triple threat between all the Rookies. Johnny Curtis got the win
The second Challenge was the Talk the Talk. The Rookies had 30 seconds or so on the mic to tell the crowd why they should be the next break out star.
Brodus Clay got the win on this one. That earned him 3 points. I think the fact it was his home town gave an advantage to him.
This was an Elimination week. Derrick Bateman was eliminated.
Next week is the final episode for this season of NXT, for the two remaining Rookies, Johnny Curtis and Brodus Clay
I've been saying since the beginning that my money is on Johnny Curtis, let's see if I'm right.
Remember, in Canada it airs on the Score on Thursday nights.
