Song: '5, 6, 7, 8' by Steps

♪ It's time to begin, now count it in

♪ Five, six, seven, eight

♪ My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy

♪ My obsession from a western, my dance floor date

♪ My rodeo Romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe

♪ Wanna make you mine, better get in line, five, six, seven, eight

The Islanders whoop and holler as they approach the challenge area in cowboy costumes. Their boots hit the wooden decking as they run to the platform.

[Music]

♪ You're mine, all mine, my Bubba

♪ Gonna rope you in, so count me in, five, six, seven, eight

The challenge platform has been transformed into a western-themed obstacle course with an inflatable pen set up in the centre of the platform. Inside is a mechanical bull. Behind it, a tall blue banner with large white letters reads THE GOOD THE BAD THE SEXY. A saloon front with swinging doors is on the far right, and a temporary building with a large JAIL sign is on the left. Shooting targets are mounted to the roofline and two cowboy silhouettes for water gun blasting.

Grace's face brightens as a sense of nostalgia fills her emotions. Feels like being back home in Texas. "Yeehaw." You whoop and holler loudly like a cowgirl. The other Islanders join in, like we're at a rodeo, stomping their boots and throwing hats into the air.

In the Beach Hut, Grace:

So we got to the challenge stage and

we see the big bull in the middle

and I was like, 'Wey!' These are me fav."

The chatter dies down, and Bobby grins mischievously. "What the buck is this?" he asks, attempting to sound like a cowboy.

Gary instantly joins in. "Bucking Hell!"

Noah groans audibly. Marisol sighs and looks to the sky. "When will this nightmare end?!"

Bobby smirks, unable to contain his next quip. "What the buck?"

"Buck off!" Gary fires back and lets out a cheeky grin.

Bobby and Gary chuckle and deliver an animated high-five.

Graham lets out a scoff. "I'm sorry, that was actually quite good..." He chuckles to himself.

The boys are piling on the puns. "Ha! Love it." You slap Gary on the arm and chuckle along with him. He grins at you.

"Oh! For buck's sake!" Noah finally cracks and smiles.

"Yesss!" Bobby hollered and high-fived him. "Noah, my man!"
