On August 4, 2009, it was revealed in the finale that the contestant Stephen Hampton had won the competition.

One of the cars included an undercover Paris disguised as a fellow contestant; she wanted to see how they acted when they thought she wasn't around. The contestants were made to show "Paris" (in fact lookalike Natalie Reid) how much they want to be her BFF. Later on Paris puts up for discussion Arielle and Amanda for not standing out enough. The last challenge of the episode is to pole dance for an audience of men. Stephen refuses and is put up for discussion. At elimination the fatal "TTYN" is to be received by Arielle.

Paris tells what bands they like she says her favorite band(s) are Green Day, Coldplay, Linkin Park And The Killers. Tiniecia was the pet for the week and she got the opportunity of sending someone up for discussion. She chose Kaitlin after she had a fight with Stephen the night before.

Later, a dramatic dinner had Stephanie crying when Paris asked the contestants personal questions to which she already knew the answer. Kaitlin was asked if she had ever been with a friend's boyfriend, and she answered no. Stephen shared his feelings about his childhood in a Mormon family, Tiniecia admitted she worked at Hooters, and Chris avoided answering Paris question about which girl in the house he thought was cutest. David also beatboxed. At the TTYN Ceremony, Paris called Chris, David, and Kaitlin up for discussion. Chris was called up because Paris believed he avoided her questioning, David was called up because Paris wasn't sure of his motives, and Kaitlin was called up because she revealed during casting that she had been with a girl's boyfriend and then later lied to Paris about it.
