Firefly was safe with 52 votes. Pyramid was saved with 56 votes, resulting in Tack's elimination with a massive 106 votes.
The second challenge was soap carving. A video tutorial demonstrated how to carve a bar of soap using a butter knife. Contestants were allowed to carve anything they wanted and use as many bars of soap as needed. After 5 minutes, their carvings would be rated out of 100, with the top five moving ahead.
During the carving, some contestants faced difficulties. One contestant admitted not paying attention to instructions, while another had their carving messed up due to distractions. Flash Drive claimed to have a PhD in soap carving, but the host was skeptical. An accidental push by Tissue Box led to an argument, and some contestants struggled with their carving techniques or lack of arms.
The challenge was abruptly ended early by the host. Judging began, with scores ranging from 4 to 100. One carving received a perfect 100, while others were criticized for being generic, poorly executed, or even plagiarized. The host also criticized a carving for spelling out 'Hman' and another for being a 'blob'.
The winners of the soap carving challenge were I, Flash Drive, Boot, Dart, and Leak. The episode concluded with an announcement for viewers to vote for one of the remaining 18 contestants for elimination in episode 3, emphasizing the use of the poll in the description rather than comments.
