   #1 - Welcome to The Assistant, Now Go Home

   S1:E17/12/2004

   The show opens up with a corny introduction about the show with Andy looking somewhat impressive atop a hill. All of the potential assistants are introduced one by one. When all the introductions are finished, to everyone's surprise Andy announces he's already going to eliminate someone. After the first elimination ceremony where Andrew is the unfortunate victim (with Mark barely scraping past), Andy shows the assistants where they are to sleep -- cots located in the garage. Andy also gives them a book about himself filled with all sorts of information. His turnons, when he lost his virginity, etc. Later on, he makes an offhand comment about the grass being too long and Tanika, one of the assistants, grabs some scissors and cuts the grass. Suddenly, Andy announces there will be yet another elimination. But not before Andy invites the assistants to play a game in his living room: Who wants to be Andy's Assistant? After the rounds are over, there are three assistants who received the lowest scores. Colin, Nikeda, and Sarah. Unfortunately for Nikeda, she only got 1 of her 5 questions correct and she is the second assistant to become eliminated.

   #2 - Sarah & Jeff Get Snip, Snip, Clipped

   S1:E27/19/2004

   Andy wakes up all of the remaining assistants to assign them all various tasks. Stefani is to train Andy's cat to sit on his shoulder, Colin has to find Andy's glass lens in the pool, etc. After checking on all of the assistants to see how they are doing in their tasks, Andy invites all of the assistants to dinner where Ebony and Melissa perform from scripts (their required task). After dinner, it is time for the elimination ceremony, with the setting being America's Next Top Andy's Assistant. Looking at footage from each assistant and then having them walk, Andy slowly hands each assistant a cell phone if they are still in the running. The last three standing are Sarah, Jeff, and Mark. After viewing footage of Jeff throwing food around the kitchen and telling Andy to "f*ck himself", Andy decides to eliminate him along with his partner, Sarah.

When Melissa goes to invite Andy to a dinner, she founds out that Andy locked himself in a closet claiming he's not happy. After much coaxing, Melissa finally gets him to the party where he reveals what I knew all along: It's not his birthday.

Nikeda is once again eliminated. After that, Andy chooses to eliminated Ebony for her quietness and apparent laziness. While extinguishing her torch however, some bushes catch on fire.

Returning back to the mansion after a somewhat embarrassing performance at the club, Andy prepares for the final clipping. Walking out into the driveway, Mark and Melissa see a strange sight. Something out of a fairy tale awaits them (along with a red carpet). Having Mark approach him, Andy tells him to leave. Melissa shrieks with joy as she realizes the truth. She, is The Assistant!
