I am so sorry that you let a bitch [bleep] you up.
Now you wanna act out on a bitch like me...

AMH, you're up.

For only being one year in the game,

Y'all not even paying [bleep] rent.

This house is not the last stop.
Just because you're staying here,

Oh, [bleep], it's open.
- I have no clue how the [bleep] Alex and all them got here.
I sure as hell didn't give 'em no invitation,
let alone the [bleep] address.
But I'm not gonna lie,
it is good to see everybody here
and hopefully, the OGs can build with the rookies
and we can get some real chemistry going on over here.
I mean, I tallied up the votes for the competition...

When I see my cousin Prince from Chicago,
it's a damn good time.
But right now, we're not partying-active Puma,
we are businessman Puma, and I have to be goddamn

Second place was actually a tie.
It ended up being... Rich...
- I don't even care. - And Nova.
[laughter] - I had to add in
my own personal vote to break the tie.
So I talked to both of the clients,
and your client, nothing but love, man.
She was very happy.
But Rich, your client, she was like,
"I'm going through it and he's rolling his eyes."
You alright?
- No breathing.
- Yo, just I was holding my breath.
- Oh, no. - [tense sputtering]
- Oh, my goodness. - Bro, she hopped in
the chair saying that she don't take tattoos well.
- This is indeed Rich.
Homeboy can't even win a tattoo competition
and he thinks he's the king of the castle.
[scoffs] I love it.

You came in second. Feel good, your peers--
- Second?! - Your peers--

I am a force to be reckoned with.
Watch the [bleep] out, because Jahnova the tornado

- I need you to move out your room.
[laughter] Like, now.
So AMH can enjoy her gift.
Make sure you get all your stuff out the bathroom,
and clear it out for her, and let her get herself right.

Good job, Rich. Good job, brother.
- First, I don't get chosen for this Cookies event.
Then I don't win this tattoo competition.
I'm starting to question what I'm even doing here.
