Default cryptic crosswords

I do crosswords, the ones I choose are not particularly hard, so I decided to up my game and do cryptic ones. They are driving me nuts!

Examples:
this one isn't too hard; "selected some nachos? Enjoy" (6)

it's the last 4 letters of nachos and the first two of enjoy, and you get a word meaning "selected". (chosen)

Another simple one: "huge amount of money for melody" (7)

I'll answer that one later. See if you can solve it.

This next one I still don't understand: " scientist on holiday in rubbish location" (6)

I know the answer (through cheating) but I don't see how they reached it. The third letter of the answer is an "F" which didn't help me at all. Can you solve it?
