In what is surprisingly the last art-off between the contestants, the final three are left to compete for the top spot. In Project Runway style, the final three are being sent home and given two months (or, 86,400 minutes as Jerry so preciously intones) to complete the work for the final challenge.
It’s Maki vs. Lexxy in the dungeon. While there’s not much that can really be said for this elimination, as it was all kind of blasé, what really stood out as the death knells for one of them were two of Lexxy’s comments.
After last episode’s Landmarkpalooza, The Final Four are back at the Penny Arcade headquarters for some contractual schooling. Good luck guys. But, as Graham reminds them (and us), it’s easy to get hosed with a bad contract, as Jerry and Mike once learned when they once signed away all the rights to Penny Arcade.

I have to admit I particularly enjoyed this table tennis ep a lot more than last week’s snooze fest. Learning how doubles is played was interesting, notably that each player must alternate hitting the ball. If any one teammate hits the ball twice in a row, it’s point for the other team.
Day 7 begins! Graham tells the six remaining artists to pack their bags and load up. it’s another physical challenge. Robert Khoo, the reigning Penny Arcade table tennis champ, greets everyone and explains the importance of the sport to the inner workings of the Penny Arcade mega-machine. Which, yes, it’s totally true, but come on, could we please see some more art?
