After the contestants enter into the Aquarium, the network team surgically starts dropping in reptiles such as snakes, spiders, lizards. True ‘mental torture’ says Nguyen Phuong. 

Miss Phuong is criticized for playing it too safe and disqualified for a truly boring performance. 

While Thieu Lan’s grimacing face as a spider crawls across her face has the judges and audience quivering. 

But the judges say her performance still falls short, due to lack of dialogue.  She needs to amp it up a bit.

It took host Thanh Hang a while to calm Thuy Trang and stop her from crying, However, the judges like her photo shoot with those attractive luring eyes.

Minh Phong has a hard time ‘manning up’ to this slimy lizard.

The judges say he comes across as too timid, not enough masculinity. 

Thu Huong’s presentation, with the snake slithering just above her eyes is powerful and receives plenty of praise from the three judges. 

Here again, another contestant, Ngoc Chau, plays it too safe with this tarantula. 

Huy Quang with an iguana stuck to the side of his face shows much progress from prior performances.

Thuy Tram also displays positive change but has not quite achieved the desired effect and is still in danger of disqualification, say the judges.

This week, Kim Nha also faces the risk of being excluded as her progress slows to a snail’s pace. 

The judges disqualify Huy Duong for a completely lacklustre showing.

This is the winner, La Thanh, of the creepy crawly challenge.
