Joel P.O.V
I hold Connie's hand as we trek through the woods. I can't help but feel an incredible electric sensation when our hands are entwined.

There's a giant brown wooden box in our path. "Open it slowly mate." Wayne says as I open it hesitantly. I keep my distance here as does Wayne and Jordan.

"There's a laminate.." Jordan points out as him and Adam walk up to it.

"Oh god." Jordan says as we all see the maps and hiking equipment inside. I rummage through with Connie and we find boots, maps and water bottles.

"Celebrities, you are now stranded." Adam reads out. " You will take part in the overnight trial, working in threes to win food for tomorrow night. Adam, Joel and Connie must follow the map to Bushman's lodge. Jordan, Larry and Wayne must follow the map to the lamp. Good luck."

"Its that all it says?" Jordan questions.

"Yeah." Adam assures us as we pick up and study the maps.

We equip ourselves and hug the guys goodbye.

"God, this is gonna be horrible!" Connie says to Wayne as he hugs her goodbye.

"Don't worry, Joel will take care of you." Wayne says to her, looking at me and winking. I smirk as I turn around and start walking up the hill.

"What about me man?" Adam says.

"Your scared of everything mate!" Jordan replies.

"I aint having this!" Adam jokes as he runs and grabs Connie's arm and runs off.

"Uhh, Adam?" I shout. "Wrong way!"

"Oh, well I knew that." Adam says letting Connie go as they both come and follow me.

Connie P.O.V

Its been a long hike up hill but we find our destination. There's a large, broken down house on the mountain. It's practically falling apart, looking abandoned; stranded if you will. We make our way in. It's dirty and smells, with a large blackboard and a cracked window on its edges. I hear the door lock, and I dread to look up as anything could drop from that ceiling at any second.

"Jordan, Wayne and Larry will send you light signals which you will have to then decipher what word they are sending. You must decipher the word, and send it back to camp using Morse code. You have 5 minutes per word. Each correct word deciphered in camp will win 2 meals for tomorrow. If you communicate by any other means, the word does not count. Good luck." I read from the crusty laminate on the floor.

"We are going to need more than luck!" Joel says. "Does anyone know Morse code?"

"I do slightly." I say. I learned it years ago back in school, not that I thought it was going to help me any sort of way. "Short noises or flashes are dots and long ones are dashes." I say looking over to the board. "If I had to guess, the boys will flash light at us and we have to turn it into dashes and dots, which co-ordinate to letters on this board." I point.

"Thank the lord your here Connie!" Joel says to me as he walks around the back of me and slips his arms around my waist, resting his head on my shoulder.

"AAAAHHH!" Adam shouts as he runs and jumps on a makeshift wooden box in the corner.

"There's a spider bro, its jumping bro! Ahh!" Adam screams like a little girl.

I burst into laughter. My eyes start to water and I go light headed I laugh so much. My head and jaw ache, I feel faint.

After 10 minutes or so, I've calmed down, however Adam is still a hot mess. Light starts to flash as me and Joel stand up to the window, Adam staying sound on his little platform. A range of really short lights flash, like a million different camera's taking photos at the same time.
