Chris Nawrocki Eliminated by Fan Voting from Wwe Smackdown!'s '$1,000,000 Tough Enough'

[via press release from UPN]

CHRIS NAWROCKI ELIMINATED BY FAN VOTING FROM WWE SMACKDOWN!'S "$1,000,000 TOUGH ENOUGH� "

Only five contestants remain in WWE SMACKDOWN!�s "$1,000,000 Tough Enough," after Chris Nawrocki, a college football player and native of Syosset, NY, was eliminated by fan voting last night.

The competition took a risqu� turn last week when the six young men participated in WWE Diva Torrie Wilson��s Sex Test. While the participants were titillated by the appearance of Torrie and Dawn Marie�, dressed provocatively in sexy lingerie for the challenge, they were surprised and appalled to learn that the Diva they would actually have to "make out" with was 81-year-old legendary wrestler Mae Young, accompanied by WWE Hall of Famer the Fabulous Moolah. In the end, the spunky Mae selected Daniel Puder as the winner of the Test. Although Nawrocki had injured his ribs in training, he was determined to stick out the competition, refusing trainer Al Snow��s ("Tough Enough") offer to quit. However, the fans didn�t back Nawrocki�s brave determination, and he was eliminated.

After Nawrocki was eliminated last night, the remaining five participants competed in a round of "Capture the Flag" -- WWE style. Starting in one corner of the ring, each contestant had 30 seconds to seize a flag hanging from the opposite corner, but they first had to get past former WWE Tag Team Champions The Basham Brothers�. Each competitor gave it his all, pursuing the flag with fierce intensity. The Bashams put up a solid defense as the contestants struggled to get by, each growing more frustrated and angry as the flag eluded them. While several got close, in the end, none of the competitors were able to complete the task. Who will the fans choose to continue? Voting is going on right now exclusively on wwe.com.

Special head trainer and WWE legend Al Snow leads the competitors through a weekly ritual of training and challenges as they strive to become the Tough Enough Champ and newest Superstar on WWE SMACKDOWN!, with a WWE contract worth $1 million. Each week until December 16, when the winner is crowned, SMACKDOWN! viewers vote for their favorite competitor on wwe.com, with the participant with the least votes being eliminated from the competition.

"The $1,000,000 Tough Enough" airs during WWE SMACKDOWN!, Thursdays (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN. For more information, log on to www.upn.com or www.wwe.com.
