3:10 To Crazytown
Gwen sneezed, and you brought her yet another blanket from the girls' cabin.

"How can I have a cold in this weather?!", Gwen exclaims. You look up at the sky and shield your eyes. It was so hot!

"The only thing hotter than the weather is you, Gwen.", you say in an attempt to cheer her up.

"I'd love that if I weren't dying here.", Gwen replies.

"You need anything?", you ask.

"Maybe some more blankets.", she says. Your eyes widen.

"Gwen, you already have three!", you say.

"Yeah, but they're too thin! Leave it to Chris to cheap out on everything from food to blankets.", Gwen complains.

"Alright, I'll get you more blankets.", you say. You stand up and go to the girls' cabin, and quickly put your head down as you see Lindsay CHANGING into her bikini.

"OH MY GOD! OC!! KNOCK FIRST!", Lindsay yells.

"Me?! You're the one changing in the cabin! Lindsay use the bathroom!", you shout as Lindsay covered herself in a blanket.

"It was so hot though...I mean...it is so hot!", Lindsay exclaims, as she puts her clothes on under the blanket.

"God, Lindsay. Just give me a blanket. Wait...not the one you're using!", you yell.

You go outside and see Trent sitting next to Gwen, and Gwen drinking from Trent's water bottle.

(Don't be mad at Trent, stay cool OC, stay cool...) you think to yourself as you approach them.

"Hey, guys...", you say.

"Thanks for the blankets OC!",  Gwen said.

"No problem, my beloved Gwen.", you say passive-aggressively.

"What do you mean 'my beloved'? You two going out?", Trent asks.

"Surprise! Yes we are!", you say happily, even though you and Trent both know what that means.

"What? Gwen, I thought you and me had something special...", Trent said.

"Sorry, Trent. But we're still friends, right?", Gwen asks.

"Yeah...sure. Definitely. Catch you later, guys.", Trent says.

"You okay, OC?", Gwen asks.

"I'm just peachy.", you say, getting a bit worried about Trent.

"I know Trent's kinda mad right now but don't try to conspire and get him voted off...for me, please?", Gwen asks. You sigh.

"Alright..."

Soon, Chris arrives and announces the Western Themed challenge.

"Hey, OC, Gwen told me about your new attitude adjustment.", DJ tells you.

"Really? I think she told everyone.", you note.

"I think it's really sweet that you're fixing your attitude. I didn't want to say anything. Just remember, we're all friends here on the Gaffers. None of us hate you.", DJ says. You smile. That is true.

Chris explains the challenge; jump from the top of the diving board to the 'horse'.

"Since the Grips won last time, they get to go first!", Chris says as if that was a good thing. Here's how everyone stacked up:

Grips

Trent - Failed

Izzy - Succeeded

Owen - Succeeded, but they needed a new horse

Lindsay - Succeeded, trying to show she's a good leader

Justin - Failed, didn't want to risk falling on his face

Gaffers

Gwen - Failed, refused to do it because of her cold

Bridgette - Failed, didn't want to hurt the horse

DJ - Failed, too scared

Duncan - Succeeded, with ease

OC - Succeeded

Leshawna - Failed, jumped too far

Harold - Failed, Duncan untied his shoes so he tripped

"And the Grips win!", Chris says. Everyone looks at Duncan.

"Duncan, there is no reason for you to torture poor Harold", Leshawna says, getting pissed.

"Hey, I did the challenge.", Duncan says defensively.

"Whatever, doesn't matter.", Gwen says. In the next challenge, the Grips were the cowboys and the Gaffers were the cattle.

When you were all running, Duncan was cornered by Justin.

"OC! You have to help him!", Gwen shouts.

(On one hand, if I help, I'll be captured, but if I don't...Gwen will think I'm just in it to win for myself...)

Help Duncan?

A: Yes, jump in the way and prove to Gwen you've changed

B: No, your team can still win if you don't!
