The Assistant

Standing in Andy's bedroom, Melissa and Tanika are shocked by the return of Mark, who was clipped in episode 4. After the re-introduction, Andy shows the remaining assistants a horribly disgusting plate given to him by Glenn Close (supposedly). Deciding he is stressed, Andy has his therapist over. Unfortunately, Dave Navarro decides to crash the house--and the plate. After Andy decides Dave and his bandmate Stephen Perkins are making too much noise on their guitar and drums, he has the assistants kick them out. At elimination, Andy decides to do a Fear Factor theme. In the second round, the assistants have to eat some type of gross food. When Tanika gets hoghead cheese, she finds it too much to bear and is the next one to get clipped.

Andy calls all of the assistants to his room. Suddenly, he announces that Stefani is clipped because she was the last one to enter the room. Everyone is shocked, but not for long. For Andy's announced -- "We're going camping!" At the campsite, Andy gives strange analogies and attempts to teach "life lessons". Barely halfway through the episode, Andy announces it's time for another elimination...of his bladder. At night, Andy has the assistants make fools of themselves as they do a Hollywood musical. Back at the house, Andy administers a lie detector test to the assistants at 2 o'clock in the morning. After all the tests are finished, Andy decides to clip Anna because he felt she wasn't truthful with him.

Once again, the episode opens up with Andy Dick snoring away in his Paul Frank pajamas. Max the butler goes to wake up the assistants to tell them a secret: it's Andy's birthday and it's supposed to be a secret! All of the assistants are given tasks relating to the party. Getting the food, reserving a limo, etc. Max reveals there is one extra task, so... the show has decided to bring back Nikeda, much to the dismay of the other assistants. When Melissa goes to invite Andy to a dinner, she founds out that Andy locked himself in a closet claiming he's not happy. After much coaxing, Melissa finally gets him to the party where he reveals what I knew all along: It's not his birthday. At the party, his ex-girlfriend was somehow invited, and she throws a glass of water in Andy's face, causing him to leave the party. That night, the theme for the elimination is Survivor. Nikeda is once again eliminated. After that, Andy chooses to eliminated Ebony for her quietness and apparent laziness. While extinguishing her torch however, some bushes catch on fire.

The show opens up with a corny introduction about the show with Andy looking somewhat impressive atop a hill. All of the potential assistants are introduced one by one. When all the introductions are finished, to everyone's surprise Andy announces he's already going to eliminate someone. After the first elimination ceremony where Andrew is the unfortunate victim (with Mark barely scraping past), Andy shows the assistants where they are to sleep -- cots located in the garage. Andy also gives them a book about himself filled with all sorts of information. His turnons, when he lost his virginity, etc. Later on, he makes an offhand comment about the grass being too long and Tanika, one of the assistants, grabs some scissors and cuts the grass. Suddenly, Andy announces there will be yet another elimination. But not before Andy invites the assistants to play a game in his living room: Who wants to be Andy's Assistant? After the rounds are over, there are three assistants who received the lowest scores. Colin, Nikeda, and Sarah. Unfortunately for Nikeda, she only got 1 of her 5 questions correct and she is the second assistant to become eliminated.
