Sayyid reluctantly steps out of his flip flops and heads on up to the challenge. He takes a deep breath before exhaling slowly, psyching himself up for the burning pain the lays ahead. "Right...OK..." he says quietly to himself before looking down at the rocks. The ice bath isn't worrying him as much as these rocks. Sayyid's bare foot touches the first of the rocks. "Oh, it's not so ba-ah, fuck!" he blurts out as the heat sets. He moves along quickly but the uneven surface of the rocks makes it very difficult. He almost rolls his ankle a few times, stumbling across them with great speed. Once finished, he propels himself towards the ice bath and practically jumps into it - welcoming the cold. "Jesus!" he exclaims as the temperature hits him. It is still a welcome change compared to the burning rocks though.

Mi-Ah slowly takes off her shoes and socks, seeing everyone else attempt the challenge and she winces. She hadn't even begun but she could feel their pain. She swallowed hard and then made her way over to the bed of coal and took a deep breath. "Okay Mi-Ah, you can do this. This is nothing. You're super tough and just don't think about it." She bawled her hands into fists and then made her way onto the coals, speeding across it. She was surprised at how quickly she did the challenge, realizing she had completely took her mind off of it and focused only on getting across. When she finished, she walked over to the tub of ice water. This would be more difficult since it was 5 minutes long. She took off her shirt which revealed she was wearing a tank top underneath it, and got into the tub, clenching her teeth together as she descended into the tub. "O-oh my g-g-od it's s-so c-c-cold!" She said, closing her eyes.

Tatiyana tied her hair up in a bun and took her shoes off. Luckily for her, she had done this before on a vacation trip and being an athlete in high school, she was also used to taking cold baths to relieve muscle pain. Finally, a challenge she could show out for. She walked across the hot coals, biting her lip, feeling the pain temporarily shoot through her feet as she walked to the other side. "Yay!" She cheered for herself and then went over to the tub of ice water and got in, slowly. She hadn't had one of these in so long she forgot how breath taking it can be at first but when she settled in, she seemed to relax. "At least we won't be sore!" she said, giggling.

“OH NAHHHHHH BRO...” JT says as he gets ready for the challenge. He had never done such a thing but he wanted everyone to be treated and didn’t want to be the one to ruin it. JT takes off his shoes and socks and kisses his finger. “This for you..” he says, as a tribute to his father Eddie who passed away years ago. It gave him the courage. He walks over to the and bed and walks over the bed of coal. It burned so much but he pushed through it. “Ai! hijo de puta!” JT yells out before making it passed. “Hot af!” JT says, giving a sigh of relief when he’s finished. He then goes over into the tub of cold water. It’s freezing, but better than the bed of coal. He closes his eyes to block out the cold.

Lee Yung, relaxed as calm. Bows his head while he stands over the bed of coal. He puts his hands together and closes his eyes as if he’s doing some sort of prayer or meditation before easily stepping on the bed of coal. It seemed like it was nothing to him although it was burning hot. He made it across and then splashed into the freezing cold water. He was shivering, but got the job done nonetheless.

mariko gets up and stretches her hands far above her head. she lets out a grunt as several cracks are heard coming from her joints. she squats down and assesses the hot coals. mariko holds her hand over the coals for several moments before nodding. she slowly stands and holds her hands straight by her sides,mentally preparing. the woman's eyes close for several minutes,perhaps communicating to some elder god barely known to this dimension. in reality,it was all a performance. the duke of winchester had been a proper cruise liner in its early life. naturally it took pasty people to exotic locations and they expected exotic entertainment. flash forward over half a century and the crumbling manuals detailing the parlor trick of fire walking had been read by mariko and her sister. it was a neat trick and was good for winning bets. the water had mariko concerned 5 minutes was a long time to be that cold. looking as serene as she could,mariko began her walk. a quick,but steady pace. there had better be good liquor after this. she had her bare feet out on tv. if you know anything,nearly a quarter of the comments on youtube will be foot related. after the firewalk,mariko quickly laid down in the ice bath,leaving her feet out. the jarring difference in temperature would probably hurt. mariko had to clamp her hands over her mouth to keep from screaming. the cold was so intense that it burned. she could feel the tingling all over her body that eventually turned to numbness as the time ticked by. she clenched her eyelids shut and waited for the time to pass. "m..my....my nipples ar....are...so st..stiff..i think one j.ju.just cut through the bi bi bikini top." she whimpers

As Den ends the performance spreading his arms at the audience, lights explode again and the audience roars with a standing ovation. Claire appears too and greets him with an handshake. "DEN EVERYONE! LIVE AT 'LA ISLA'" Claire smiles at him. "YOU ENJOYING THE SHOW?"

Den smiles "Thank you, yes, watching everyday. My brother from another mother Jo is there, my Jolly squad as well and they're all doing an amazing job. I'm absolutely watching."

Claire grins. "THAT'S GREAT. YOU BETTER WATCH!" She says almost evilly but playfully. Then she looks at the camera. "SO TODAY WAS AN AMAZING SHOW, I WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. THANK YOU KEGAN, ERICH, BLAKE."

"AS OF NOW OUR FOURTH SHOW IS OVER. TOMORROW OUR CONTESTANTS WILL BE MAKING THEIR NOMINATIONS AND WE'LL FIND OUT WHO GOES UP FOR VOTING. THEY ARE RETURNING TO THEIR ISLANDS NOW, SAME GROUPS AS LAST WEEK.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING, WE'LL MEET NEXT WEEK CONTESTANTS! ON NEXT THURSDAY 29TH OCTOBER HERE AGAIN AND... JUST SAYIN' IT'S ALMOST HALLOWEEN, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THAT."

Audience cheers as Claire grins evilly and the camera fades on her.
