<P> At the end of the day, which included designing their rooms' future layouts--Joe and his "No Mercy Room", Charmaine and the "Serenity Room", Dez with the "Tropical Paradise Room", Tex with the "Pinup Room", and Casey with the "Chocolate and Vanilla Room"--the judges give their verdict: Tex, in the group challenge, had left his tools in a mess, though he was considered the most improved by Jo due to his challenge work (and having done the toughest part of the group challenge singlehandedly). Geoff's quick lesson made an impact on Joe, who he nominated for the most improved for improving on his own safety as the group challenge progressed, as well as going back and fixing his failed challenges . As for the worst, Casey and Charmaine made the short list . In the end, Joe won the "golden helmet" for being the most improved, while Casey was nominated as the worst due to having destroyed three walls (his own, Dez's, and Tex's) in the episode . In his extra lesson, he had to remove the filth from the drain that had been part of the old toilet in the common area, a job which he detested . </P> <P> Original airdate: May 12, 2008 </P> <Ul> <Li> Workbenches: Four of the five contestants do not have workbenches at home, and the fifth, Dez, had destroyed his during the box challenge . Thus, the contestants must build their own benches . Dez, Joe, and Casey use chipboard rather than plywood for their tops, and all fail due to the tabletop not being sturdy as a result . Charmaine does not finish, while Tex, using pine boards for a top, is the only one to pass . </Li> <Li> The Interview: Wanting to know the experiences of the contestants, Andrew personally asks the contestants whether they have done ten things that every handyman should know prior to rehab . Charmaine and Tex have the most (8 and 7, respectively), while Joe is at the bottom, having done only one (demolition). </Li> <Li> Plastic Wrap: The contestants must seal their windows in plastic wrap . For Tex, this is all too familiar, as he had done this to his own (wood - burning) home and cut his home heating costs in half (from five cords of wood per year down to two - and - a-half), and he easily passes . Dez (despite troubles with double - sided tape) and Joe also pass the challenge, while Charmaine (who also does this at her own home) fails due to having dust all over her plastic . Casey fails due to his plastic seal being not tight . </Li> <Li> Drywall: Each room has a hole in the wall, and in this challenge, the contestants are to fix them (Tex had two due to part of his wall being torn down in the group demo, but was only required to patch one). Charmaine is the first to finish, and passes, while the rest fail for different reasons: Tex and Dez had too much water in their plaster mix (Tex's plaster taking forever to dry and Dez making it so thin so that the plaster could not be applied at all), Casey had not trimmed his hole down to size, while Joe was caught hammering screws in again (and thus had failed to secure his patch to the wall). </Li> <Li> Group Challenge: The Wine Rack: After agreeing on the kitchen design (including questionable decisions such as using floor tiles for the counter) and while the nominators are painting their rooms (Joe's in red and Tex's in yellow, while Casey had his room wallpapered), the contestants must build a piece of furniture for the kitchen . Joe, as foreman, chooses a wine rack, but miscommunication between him and his two teams (Dez and Charmaine on the frame, while Casey and Tex deal with the square shelves). Joe's frustrations kick in, and when Dez talks behind his back (on how Joe is hands - off), Joe ejects him from the area . The project itself is a failure due to the cubbyholes being too large (and lacking any rear support), a failure that Joe readily takes one on the chin . </Li> </Ul> <Li> Workbenches: Four of the five contestants do not have workbenches at home, and the fifth, Dez, had destroyed his during the box challenge .
