Recap

The Build-a-Bed elimination challenge fails when no one finishes a bed under Frank's hassling. Production runs a Dating Show in the living room with four guest women picking dates with Chris LaFon. Tatiana wins a dinner date. Ali stays as a brief freeloader; Chris LaFon stays as a long-running freeloader and quickly becomes the host of the season's late-game points economy.

1. Build-a-Bed elimination: IKEA wood, Frank's hassling, TJ "made his bed" exemption

   Sam announces a Build-a-Bed elimination using IKEA wooden bunk-bed planks; Frank hassles every contestant continuously through the build. TJ gets too drunk and lays down on his pile of wood — production declares him exempt because he "made his bed." Production calls the elimination off entirely when nobody finishes a bed.

3. "Mommy and baby" challenge — TJ acts as Tayleigh's mom; Frank torments them

   Late on Day 27, production runs a "mommy and baby" challenge where TJ is paired as Tayleigh's mom. Frank uses the pairing as an opening to make both of them deeply uncomfortable; production declares Duany'ay and Oliver the winning pair instead.

4. Tayleigh's "grossest thing in the house" throw at Frank

   As part of a "grossest thing in the house" challenge held the same day, Tayleigh fills a cup with bodily fluids and throws it at Frank during the round. The beat matters because it is Tayleigh's first explicit refusal to be the on-camera receiver of Frank's targeting — a stance she keeps through the rest of the season.
