Episode one- Do you have what it takes...to eat?
Week one
All the interns meet at the BIO5 institute courtyard area. They all introduce themselves and meet the host of the TV show, Kevin. The guidelines are explained to everybody and the grand prize is $100,000 stipend and a chance to work with a well-known researcher. Alas, all the interns find out that someone is going to be eliminated...today. The first challenge begins at 4:00 pm. All the interns head up to the board room in room A324 and will be awaiting the arrival of all the mentors (AKA the judges). After meeting the mentors, Marti leads everyone to their dorms. All the interns are living together under one roof (kind of like the Real World show). At about noon, they all head to the Student Union in order to get lunch. There, tensions arise between Kim and Mon-Ning (haha well just pretend because we all know we get along just fine...this is just for drama on the show). Kevin mysteriously shows up and tells them that the first challenge is an eating contest. (Logan jumps for joy!) The person to eat the most wins and gets immunity from elimination that week. After the challenge, someone is going home...
(to be continued...)
Interns through to week two- Logan (winner of the challenge), Shiana, Alex, Daniel, Tiffany, Mon-Ning, Greg and....Kim. That means Andrew was sent home. =( Sad times but those are the results.
Exclusive Interviews happen after every week with the person going home so here is the interview of week one.
Interview: Andrew
Q- So how does it feel to be eliminated on the FIRST day?
A- It's not so bad, I guess...I mean definitely I could have done better but the interns really set me up...(laughs)
Q- Is it a weird feeling to be off the show until the reunion?
A- Reunion? I didn't know about that. Well now I get to rest for a while...no more training! (laughs uncontrollably)
Q- Was this challenge, the eating challenge, somewhat difficult for someone like you?
A- Well I can't blame myself for not winning because I didn't feel like that challenge had what it takes to make someone a top intern. I thought that interns were supposed to do work...not eat.
Q- What can you say about the other 8 people still in this game?
A- They are all nice people I guess. They haven't done anything but vote me off...Just kidding. They are funny and know what their priorities are so that's good. That rivalry between Mon-Ning and Kim...I can't wait to see what happens to them...haha this little bit of drama is going to turn ugly. (laughs)
Episode two- Do you have what it takes...to perform electrophoresis?
Week two
After the elimination, the interns go back to their dorms for a little R & R. So the interns then continue to get to know each other. Yet the rivalry between Kim and Mon-Ning still exists. Mon-Ning and Kim are now fighting over who sleeps on the bed and who sleeps on the floor. All of a sudden, Kevin shows up unexpectedly to deliver a message that all the interns are expected to show up to Nadja's lab to perform an assay. After the remaining interns have lunch, they all head to the fifth floor of the Koeffler building. There, there met Nadja. She then told them the guidelines for the next challenge. This is for whoever performs the BEST ELECTROPHORESIS. The whole lab probably took about 2 hours so then the winner was announced.... After the winner gets immunity, the remaining interns head to the Drachman room A324 to await the elimination of yet another intern........
(to be continued...)
Results of week two-
Still in the competition: Logan, Shiana (winner of best electrophoresis), Daniel, Kim, Alex, Tiffany, and....Greg.
Eliminated: Andrew (week one), Mon-Ning (week two)
Interview: Mon-Ning
Q- How do you feel about the deciding vote where Kim knocked you out?
A- (sigh) I have to say that it is really disappointing. I am going through a very deep depression at this moment. It seems like I have no one to turn to, I never thought that Kim would be the one that would turn me down.
Q- Why is there a rivalry between you and Kim?
A- I never thought there really was. We really got along in the house. I thought we were really good friends.
Q- So we hear that you had a recent "hook-up" with a longboarder. Is this just a rumor/gossip?
A- No comment...
Q- What can you say about all your roommates? Including the eliminated ones.
A- Andrew was my favorite, it really sad to see him go. Tiffany was defiinitely my best friend. She would never stab my back...(laughs, light giggle) The rest of them were okay... I guess. I defiinitely think Shiana is going to take home the gold.
Q- Who do you feel will be voted off next week?
A- I don"t know.
Q- If you had to pick, who would it be?
A- Kim...(evil maniacal laugh)
Week three
Episode three- Do you have what it takes...to be the best at PCR?
The interns were really surprised that Mon-Ning has gone home. The deciding vote for the week was Kim, and leave it up to her to sabotage Mon-Ning's chances. The rivalry between Kim and Mon-Ning is finally over. ...until the reunion. The interns all head back up to the dorms to rest. Logan and Shiana are the top two competitors for everybody here so Kim realizes that she has to do something in order for her to win. The interns go out to Jimmy John's for lunch and there see Kevin, waiting at the cashier's register. He tells them all that after lunch, there will be a challenge that involves...PCR. Shiana is jumping for joy and everyone else groans. So the interns head up to Nadja's room to complete this challenge. Another week passes, and another intern says goodbye...who will it be?

Interview: Tiffany
Q- How do you feel about this vote? It was really a majority rule.
A- (distinct muttering) I don't know what to say...there was no one here to protect me...My insides are shriveling, just like my PCR.
Q- Do you think Kim sabotaged you like she did Mon-Ning?
A- Doi...I know she switched my DNA with water...
Q- What are your thoughts on the PCR? If you knew, Kim did it, why didn't you say anything?
A- It was already too late, she had everyone on her side...(sniffles) They scared me with their cackling...
Week four
Episode four- Do you have what it takes...to stay awake?
It was a unanimous vote as Tiffany exited the show because Kim was, yet again, sabotaging more interns' chances. This week, all the interns are at lunch in the University and Park area. Once again, they meet Kevin, who tells them that this week's challenge will not be educational...it is about survival. So the interns are a little worried about this and the next hint from Kevin, "Get some sleep...". So pretty much all the interns stay up all night and party in the dorms. The next day, when Marti asked how much sleep they all had, the typical answer was "enough." So later that evening, after dinner, the interns all head up to A324 where they find out it is a lecture session. There are about 7 mentors here to present their works. The challenge? Who can stay awake the longest during a five-seven hour time span. Hopefully, no one needs their beauty sleep...

Episode Five- Do you have what it takes...to have sterile technique?
The weeks keep getting more and more competitive. The five remaining interns are still in the running to becoming BIO5's first top intern. Last week, Alex's elimination was basically majority rule but he still feels Greg should have been eliminated. So the five remaining interns head off to lunch at the student union, where Kevin awaits for their arrival. Once they see Kevin, they know what is up. All he tells them is go to Nadja's classroom after lunch and don't forget to "be clean." No one really has any idea what that means but it is really confusing. SO after lunch, they find out that Nadja plans for them to perform sterile technique with pipettes and such. Kim finds this to be the most entertaining week because it is easy to sabotage people...

Episode six- Do you have what it takes...to win at DDR?
It is such sad times when Greg left the dorms. His BFFL Daniel misses everyone dearly and almost has a breakdown. But, Marti assures him that all the interns will be reunited once again. So, the remaining four interns are on their way to breakfast down at the student union when they see that Kevin, Marti, and Nadja are at the front door. Shiana questions them and Nadja says that after breakfast, there will be a test of coordination and music. Of course Logan jumps for joy because he knows that is what he excels at. So after eating, the interns head down to the bottom floor outside the student union. Waiting there are the judges. It is so dramatic because the judges reveal who the mystery judges are for this particular challenge. The judges turn out to be the eliminated interns and they are staying here until the final week only to serve as "spies" and judges for the remainder of the competition. The rules will change and there will be more and more surprises... So who will win DDR...and who will have to be let go from the competition?
(to be continued...)

Eliminated- Andrew (week one), Mon-Ning (week two), Tiffany (week three), Alex (week four), Greg (week five), Daniel (week six)
Week seven
Episode seven- Do you have what it takes....to be the best at journal club?
Daniel's elimination was a tearful one yet....but he is still living in the house because all the eliminated people come back. So all of the interns head back to the dorms but they are stopped by Kevin. He tells them that they are supposed to be headed to the Drachman building for a journal club presentation. It came as a surprise to Logan, Shiana, and Kim because they do not know what they are supposed to be presenting on. So they only have twenty minutes to read a research paper and then present it in a powerpoint. So it is a very difficult task. Meanwhile, Kim and Mon-Ning start a feud over LBD...the person Mon-Ning is getting married to. So, who is going to be the most prepared?

Alex definitely doesn't need his beauty sleep. All he needs is two caramel frappuccinos and he'll be up all day.
