One thing viewers learned this week--other than the identity of the first finalist--was that Jesse Taylor is not housebroken. Curious? Read on. . .

Dana White thought that all the best fighters had made it to the semi-finals. Maybe. Maybe not.

This week's episode featured the traditional coaches' challenge. This season it was a game of Horse. Everything is bigger in Vegas, including hotel suites. A suite at The Palms with a half-court for basketball was the site of the challenge, which seemed right up Forrest's alley. Rampage said he sucked at basketball, and I thought initially that he was just being coy. But, nope, Rampage did, indeed, suck at basketball. Dana probably thought it was a safe bet to double the money if Rampage made a basket. In what must have been the only basket he's ever made, the money was doubled. But Rampage couldn't hit the broadside of a barn for the rest of the game, while Forrest made basket after basket, finishing with a flourish.

The guys headed back to the house, where there was an open bar. Jesse Taylor and Tim Credeur, best friends who would be facing off in the first of the semi-final matches, enjoyed the free flowing booze. Tim knew when to quit, but "quit" isn't a word that Jesse seems to know when it comes to drinking. The more he drank, the wilder he got, and he had dollar signs shaved onto his head. He called himself JT Money. It didn't take long before JT Money turned into Koko the Monkey. He was in Koko mode when he peed on the carpet. Jesse is scary.

Tim said sometimes he feels like he's in an alternate universe. No kidding.

Since the two fighters were both members of Team Forrest, Griffin split his trainers to work with the fighters.

The fight went three full rounds, although it wasn't the most exciting match ever. Jesse won it by a unanimous decision and moved on to the finals...but only after he got himself a bucket to puke in.

Forrest was glad one of his guys made it to the finals, but he hated that it was at the expense of another.

Next week: Amir vs. C.B in the second semifinal match, which has been touted as a must-see fight.

Lots of drama next week, too, as Dana is seen looking at a limo on a surveillance tape. Dana, who hasn't blinked an eye at the trashing of the TUF house, was shown going ballistic about the limo. Someone is out of the finale and out of the UFC. But who????

Programming Note:  Next Wednesday's episode willl run 90 minutes, with the big finale taking place next Saturday night on Spike TV.  Check local listings for time and channel.
